In 2006 Banco Santander bought a 90% interest in the Dallas based auto loan company started by Thomas Dundon. The company focusses on the subprime portion of the market. In 2011 Santander sold 24% of the company to private equity firms. Because the subprime portion of the market for auto loans- where buyers get credit scores lower than 660- has recovered, Santander Consumer Holdings SA has seen rapid growth. Most auto buyers continued to make payments on auto loans during the 2008-2010 financial crisis. The auto industry recovered faster than expected and the auto loan originations to subprime borrowers increased to $153 billion in 2013 from $66 billion in 2009, according to Equifax and Moody's Analytics.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
