Banco Santander Surpasses UBS to Become Europe’s Largest Bank

A recent shift in market dynamics has seen Banco Santander overtake UBS as the largest bank in continental Europe by market capitalization. This change comes as U.S. tariffs continue to impact the banking sector in the region.

UBS, a Swiss banking giant, has seen its market cap drop to 79.5 Swiss francs ($97.23 billion) following the announcement of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs on trade partners. In contrast, Banco Santander now boasts a market cap of 91.3 billion euros ($103.78 billion). The divergence in share prices between the two banks has been stark, with UBS experiencing a 17.2% decline in the year-to-date, while Banco Santander has seen a 35% increase.

The imposition of U.S. tariffs has had a significant impact on European banks, including UBS and Banco Santander, as the growth outlook for tariff-affected European countries shrinks. The prospect of a recession in the U.S. further exacerbates the challenges faced by these financial institutions. Despite a temporary pause in tariffs announced by Trump, the overall outlook remains uncertain.

Banco Santander, with its diverse portfolio, has a relatively smaller exposure to the U.S. market compared to UBS. While Banco Santander is the fifth-largest auto lender in the U.S. and has recently partnered with Verizon for expansion, only about 9% of its total profits in 2024 came from the States. In contrast, UBS heavily relies on its global wealth management division, with approximately half of its invested assets concentrated in the broader Americas region.

The Swiss franc’s appreciation against the U.S. dollar, coupled with potential new capital requirements from Swiss authorities, adds to UBS’s challenges. The Swiss National Bank may need to make defensive interest rate cuts to combat the impact of the strong currency on exports. In comparison, the European Central Bank is expected to reduce its key deposit facility rate, which could impact local lenders’ net interest income revenues from loans.

Overall, the banking landscape in Europe is evolving rapidly in response to global economic uncertainties. Banco Santander’s rise to the top spot reflects its resilience in the face of challenging market conditions, while UBS navigates through a period of transition and uncertainty.
