  "account": "Santander has reached 182 million customers worldwide, a record high, after adding 8 million in the first half of the year. The growth was driven by its acquisition of TSB in the UK and despite the sale of its Polish subsidiary, which had 6 million customers. President Ana Botín aims to nearly triple the customer base to 500 million in the near future. The bank has inaugurated a new cultural space, Faro Santander, in its historic headquarters in Cantabria, in an event attended by King Felipe VI.",
