History
Banco Santander created Openbank in 1995, and launched a website for it in 1996. In 2000, after buying the Argentine portal Patagon.com for $540 million, Openbank changed its name to Patagon Internet Bank S.A., a financial portal that combined traditional banking with digital features such as chatrooms and internet forums. In 2001, Patagon Internet Bank S.A. opened commercial offices in Zaragoza, Madrid, Pamplona, Valencia, and Barcelona. In 2005 it was renamed to Openbank, and in 2011 it released a banking app for iOS and Android.
