MADRID, Oct 26 (Reuters) - Spain's Santander (SAN.MC) said on Wednesday its net profit in the third quarter rose 11% compared to the same period a year ago as higher revenues across its markets offset a rise in loan loss provisions and costs. The euro zone's second-biggest lender in terms of market value booked a net profit of 2.42 billion euros ($2.41 billion), up from 2.17 billion euros in the same quarter last year. Analysts polled by Reuters expected Santander to post a net profit of 2.19 billion euros.

The euro zone's second-biggest lender by market value booked a net profit of 2.42 billion euros ($2.41 billion), up from 2.17 billion euros in the same quarter last year. Analysts polled by Reuters had expected a net profit of 2.19 billion euros. Net loan-loss provisions rose 24% year-on-year to 2.76 billion euros against an uncertain macroeconomic backdrop, mirroring the picture at lenders in the United States. Santander's diversification, especially in Latin America, has helped it cope with tough conditions for lenders in Europe since the financial crisis. Revenues climbed 13% year-on-year to 13.51 billion euros, more than the 13.15 billion euros analysts had forecast.
And Italy's UniCredit (CRDI.MI) raised its 2022 profit goal, helped by higher interest rates and lower loan loss provisions that also drove quarterly earnings above forecasts. For years, banks bemoaned ultra loose monetary policy, but now higher interest rates means banks can start to benefit from the increased gap between what they charge borrowers and what they pay savers. Standard Chartered's third-quarter profit surged 40% as higher interest rates boosted the emerging markets-focused bank's income, giving it ammunition to upgrade its revenue outlook despite a weakening global economy. For Santander, higher loan loss provisions in key markets like Brazil and the United States overshadowed better than expected third-quarter earnings. While benefiting from higher interest rates, banks also face the unwinding of a scheme that buoyed their profits for years.
MADRID, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Spain's Santander (SAN.MC) board approved on Tuesday an interim cash dividend against 2022 results of 0.0583 euro per share, equivalent to around 20% of the group's underlying profit in the first half of 2022, the lender said. The cash dividend represents an increase of around 20% compared with the interim 0.0485 euro per share paid against 2021 results.

The HSBC financing comes in the form of a forward flow agreement, Kavak said, in which the bank will buy collection rights for a set of Kavak's used car loans. Kavak, which calls itself the largest pre-owned car operation in the world, was Mexico's first "unicorn," a startup worth more than $1 billion. The startup for the first time expanded outside of Latin America, launching operations in Turkey, in July. Our debt is cheap, even under a AAA bond on the Mexican stock exchange," he said.
