The bank was founded in 1982 in São Paulo, where their headquarters is located. Formerly Banco Santander Banespa, the bank provides a range of consumer and commercial financial services through some 2,000 branches, primarily in Brazil's southern and southeastern regions, with a major presence in the states of São Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul. Santander Brasil also offers wholesale banking to large corporations. Additional services include asset management, private banking, and insurance.
