Organization

Santander subs are responsible for capital, liquidity.
The 25% free float in local stock exchange also add local shareholder responsibility. Spain, UK and US do not have 25% free float.

Liquidity

Local liquidity responsibility has several advantages:

• Lower risk,  protection against the atomic risk (country leaving the €)
• Very well seen by local banking authorities. 

The only subsidiary not self funded is consumer finance. The last legacy item from Arenz is to also ask SCF to be responsible for its own financing.
