Banco Santander has promoted the agenda in 2024 to maintain leadership in the south of Gran Canaria. The financial institution is dedicated to supporting a sector that has become one of the main engines of the Canary Islands economy. To help tourism agents with European funds, Banco Santander branches in the south of the island have a service where they can access all the information about calls for projects funded by these funds. A tool, developed in collaboration with KPMG and LocalEurope, that uses algorithms to locate the most appropriate funds according to the company profile and a comprehensive service for those Maspalomas clients who need support in the preparation of documentation and the processing of aid .
Since its launch, Banco Santander has become the reference entity in the south of Gran Canaria in this area thanks to its platform and the service of supporting clients in accessing Next Generation Funds. The tourism sector is currently taking on new challenges, such as the energy transition or digitalization, for which it is essential to have the necessary financial support. For this reason, one of Banco Santander's priorities is to accompany tourism agents in their evolution.
Its objective is to increasingly personalize the offer for tourism companies in the south of Gran Canaria, understanding their specific needs and proposing flexible solutions and services that respond to the nature of these companies. Along these lines, the financial institution proposes a solution for payments with Getnet, an open platform for personalized payment services that is easy to integrate with third parties with tools such as the POS with a flat rate or the possibility of converting a smartphone into a POS to be able to accept card payments. It also offers conforming services, a payment solution that allows you to offer advance payments to suppliers and achieve better purchasing conditions.
