Brazil's Itau Unibanco has filed a new lawsuit against former CFO Alexsandro Broedel Lopes, seeking 6.64 million reais for allegedly unpaid legal reports. The bank claims Broedel co-authored a report for which it paid, while both he and legal consultant Eliseu Martins deny any wrongdoing. Broedel, now set to join Banco Santander, has not been officially informed of the lawsuit, and his representatives assert the allegations are baseless.
Santander is set to cut opening hours by half at 36 high street branches, reducing operations to three days a week as part of a restructuring plan that includes closing 95 branches and converting 18 to counter-free service desks. The changes, effective from June 30, are attributed to shifting customer behavior and a rise in digital transactions. Customers can still access banking services through Post Office branches, mobile banking services, and new super ATMs being rolled out across the UK.
Launceston is facing a banking crisis as three branches are set to close, with Lloyds and Santander among the banks affected. A Lloyds spokesperson noted that over 76% of personal customers already utilize alternative banking methods, and a community banker will provide ongoing support in the area. Santander emphasized the importance of balancing digital banking with personal interaction through community bankers, while local Post Offices will continue to offer essential banking services.

UBS has raised its target price for Banco Santander from €6.65 to €7.20 while maintaining a "Buy" rating. Analyst Ignacio Cerezo noted that the bank's discount compared to sector peers has halved, but he views significant profitability increases in Brazil and the USA as unlikely drivers for this trend. A sustainable improvement in sales capacity may be more crucial moving forward.
