La plataforma de pagos en comercios de Santander, la mayor de América Latina, gana 130 millones

Getnet Payments, a fintech acquired by Santander in 2014 in Brazil, has become the leading company in Latin America for card payments processing in retail, handling billions of transactions. The platform, which is the company's main product, processed 10.5 billion transactions and handled operations worth 238 trillion euros last year, according to The Nilson Report.

Getnet Payments earned 134 million euros last year, up from 130 million last year, and currently has 1.2 million active customers worldwide, with licensing in 35 countries.

Santander had ambitious plans to expand in Europe through the creation of subsidiaries but opted to focus on Spain, Portugal, and Latin America, where the company operates in all major markets. This strategy involved the closure of the German subsidiary, which cost more than 50 million euros. Getnet Payments reported a loss of 222 million euros in 2024, but has since fully recovered.

The majority of the platform's revenue comes from dividends generated by its Latin American subsidiaries, which totaled 117 million euros in 2025.

Santander has recently sold 49.99% of Getnet Chile to Getnet Payments for 68 million euros, with a 7-year service agreement. The company began operations in Chile in 2021 and currently serves 20% of the country's merchants. The majority of Getnet's revenue comes from the dividends of its Latin American subsidiaries, which have grown to 117 million euros in 2025.
