SANTANDER FINANCIAMENTOS ENDED 2013
AS THE LEADER IN BOTH THE VEHICLE FINANCING
MARKET AND THE GOODS AND SERVICES CONSUMER
FINANCING MARKET
The activity includes four pillars: vehicle financing;
commercial partnerships (especially with car makers)
WebMotors; and CDC Bens e Serviços (Consumer
Loans for Goods and Services), with business in
sectors such as furniture, tourism, boats, health
and technology, to name a few.
Under this model Santander Financiamentos (in a joint
effort with its partners) ended 2013 as a market
leader both in the vehicle finance market and the
Goods and Services Market, with strong operations
in core segments, with high growth potential.
Partnerships with carmakers such as Nissan, Renault
and Hyundai strongly contributed to the Bank's solid
results in this segment. The period also witnessed the
expansion of WebMotors, which remains the leader
in the online car catalog segment. In 2013, in order
to widen its scope, the Bank acquired the website
Meu Carango, with a strong performance in Northeast
Brazil while executing a partnership agreement with
the Australian company Carsales, one of the worldwide
leaders in online vehicle classified ads, with operations
in Asia and Oceania. G4-13
The consumer financing activity also evolved in
internal channels. The vehicle leasing portfolio
marketed in the branch network posted sales
of R$ 3.2 billion, a 16.3% increase YoY.
SME Segment
The SMEs segment is strategic for Santander Brazil, both for its importance
in economic development, with strong job creation, income growth and
the excellent business opportunities it offers, considering its characteristics
such as low banking coverage, increasing formalization and the improved
quality in project management.
The main tool used by the Bank to provide support to SMEs is innovation.
Santander Brazil is the only institution in the country that operates in a massive
way with a unified service model, which places under a single manager both
the individual account and the firm's account for small entrepreneurs; the Bank
was also pioneer in launching the Conta Integrada (1) model, which brings
together the checking account and acquiring services (capturing and processing
credit and debit card transactions).
In 2013 the Bank included in its portfolio the products Capital the Giro
Protegido (Working Capital Protected) and the Cheque Empresa Protegido
(Corporate Cheques Protected). Both are insurance products that ensure
the firm owner the settlement of the loan balance, limited to R$ 100
thousand, in case of death or permanent disability in case of accidents
involving the firm's owners.
Also, the Bank increased its commercial team from 64 to 73 the number
of Núcleos, which are regional units dedicated to serving and providing
support to SMEs.
The combination of a unique services model, with an attractive product
offer contributed to the Bank's development in two priority goals in 2013:
client acquisition and building client loyalty. Within one year, the active
client base grew by 8.2% and the total number of clients deemed to be
loyal grew by 15%.
The Bank also expanded the diversification of its revenue mix in the
SME segment. The rate of commission as a percentage of the net profit
increased from 16.6% in 2011 to 18.6% in 2012 and 23.5% in 2013.
This decreased the Bank's exposure to credit cycles and especially to
non-collateralized loans, with positive impacts on NPLs. By the end
of December, the share of collateralized loans in the portfolio mix was
58% versus 51% YoY.
