Santander Bank Profits Affected by Customers Claiming PPI

Posted On : Nov-17-2011 | seen (673) times | Article Word Count : 357 |

Santander is the Eurozone bank with the biggest market capitalisation so it is only to be expected that they are heavily affected by people claiming PPI back from them.
Santander is the Eurozone bank with the biggest market capitalisation so it is only to be expected that they are heavily affected by people claiming PPI back from them.

Their recently released figures show a 13% drop in net profit for the period covering the first three quarters of 2011. The net profit for this period was still a healthy €5.30bn but the provision of €620m which they made for customers claiming PPI certainly stopped the results from being far better than they were.

Of course, Santander is not the only bank to have to squirrel away a huge sum of money to cover the potential claims they receive on this issue. With more and more people claiming PPI all the time it is clear that the massive figures we are talking about are justified. In fact, this isn’t the biggest provision made by a bank for PPI claims, with Lloyd’s putting away €3.2bn and Barclays making a provision of over a billion pounds.

Over Six Million People Affected

What we also shouldn’t forget is that the big banks in the UK made massive profits from their Payment Protection Insurance products during an extremely long period of time. These were missold to an estimated six and a half million customers and it is only now that a lot of them are thinking about claiming PPI and getting back what they paid out under these schemes.

It is sure to be a relief to you when you make a claim if you have been paying out for this kind of insurance. You may be been sold it without knowing, possibly it was missold to you as something which it isn’t or maybe it was included as something which was essential in order for the loan to be given. These are all common misspelling tactics and you shouldn’t feel too bad about it if you were conned in one of these ways. Millions of others are in the same boat as you and getting back the money you paid to the bank is now your best approach for putting an end to the issue.
