Dividend Information
One of the reasons to own Santander is the fantastic dividend options that you receive. Yielding far beyond anything you would get in a CD, or fixed income, you have a great, steady (for now) dividend that can be taken in a few ways, cash, warrants, or shares. There are tax savings to taking the dividend in shares.
