2 2009 Annual Report

3 Bankinter Annual Report 2009 Chairman's Letter 2 LetterChairman's Letter Pedro Guerrero Chairman of the Board of Directors I should like to begin my comments by reflecting on the difficult economic situation our business has faced over the past year. The sharp slowdown experienced by the global economy since the summer of 2008 culminated in 2009 with the worst recession since the second world war, causing, among other things, a global lack of confidence which led to moments of critical liquidity. The serious difficulties faced by the global financial system and the sharp decline in business throughout the world led central banks to make drastic cuts in interest rates. Likewise, in various countries monetary authorities and governments applied additional measures to inject liquidity to mitigate the deterioration in the interbank markets and credit markets in general, thanks to which they stabilised somewhat in the course of As far as Spain is concerned, the crisis was reflected in a drop in GDP of around 3.6%, the worst in more than 50 years, and a very big increase in unemployment, the consequence above all of our high dependence on the property sector, one of the sectors worst hit by the crisis. Despite this difficult environment, 2009 was a historic year for Bankinter results if we compare ourselves with the competition; this past year we profited from the differentiation of our business model and lower risk profile, posting a net profit of EUR million, with growth of 0.8%. Modest growth, to be sure, but absolutely exceptional in a financial year in which listed domestic banks posted an average fall in net profit of 24%. These results are even more impressive if we take into account the fact that they are based entirely on recurring earnings, meaning we have managed to keep intact the unrealised capital gains inherent in our balance sheet which form part of the Bank's intangible assets, contrasting with the generation of extraordinary income which, in the system a whole, was needed to offset high costs of arrears and writedowns.

4 Bankinter Annual Report Chairman's Letter All the information on our income statement is described in full in this Report, so I shall not go into detail, although I would like to highlight a few figures that reflect just how different Bankinter is. The Bank has a risk profile that is much lower than that of the rest of the sector, as shown by its 2.46% non performing loans ratio (half the average), an insignificant level of exposure to the property development sector, of just 2.5% of total loan investments, approximately one seventh of the 17.6% average in the system, and consequently a level of foreclosed property assets of just EUR 326 million, also extremely low in comparative terms. It is also worth highlighting the fact that in the residential mortgage business, the Bank's non performing loan ratio is 1.27%, approximately one third of the average, which clearly shows the quality of Bankinter's mortgage portfolio. Likewise, the non performing loans coverage ratio is 74% (one of the highest in the system), while allowances made for the possible impairment of foreclosed property assets already totals 20% of their book value, meaning a cover of 46% vis-à-vis its appraised value. The lower rate of non performing loans, the limited exposure to the property development sector and the strength of our allowances make Bankinter more resistant to the cycle, something which, alongside the lower losses expected from the loan portfolio, bear witness to our adequate solvency levels, with a capital ratio of 10.41% and surplus capital of EUR 757 million. I should now like to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks to all of your for the extraordinary support which you gave during this past year to the Bank's capital increase, which was carried out with great success, being fully subscribed during the preferential subscription period without needing to be underwritten. The EUR 361 million capital increase served to finance the acquisition of the 50% of Línea Directa Aseguradora that was held by the Royal Bank of Scotland, giving us full ownership of a company which, with 1,600,000 policies, more than 1,200,000 customers and pre-tax profits of close to EUR 100 million a year, offers Bankinter significant possibilities for marketing synergies and a great opportunity for business growth.

5 Bankinter Annual Report Chairman's Letter In relation to this operation, I should like to make some remarks on the solvency of the Bank. Capital consumption involved in the acquisition of Línea Directa Aseguradora, calculated in accordance with Bank of Spain rules, is close to 100% of the net amount disbursed for the purchase, which is why, despite the capital increase, capital ratios remain stable. However, this capital is invested in an extremely profitable and solvent asset which improves the group's risk diversification, as well as its growth expectations. Apart from purely financial and typical business variables, Bankinter has a number of other competitive advantages which, despite not appearing expressly in the financial statements, make Bankinter a company which is admired and respected in the European financial sector. These include our advanced corporate governance policy, an area in which we continue to apply the most demanding standards, making us one of the most prestigious of listed companies. Corporate Responsibility, Bankinter's way of thinking and acting, our relationships with our stakeholders and, in short, the management of our intangibles - these are the key factors that set us apart as a company. Our most valuable assets are our staff. Our workforce is young, with an average age of 37, well educated (73.8% are graduates), enthusiastic and motivated to do new things, with initiative, talent, pride and a sense of belonging. In short, our workforce is happy to be working for a company like Bankinter, which was again selected as one of the best places to work by the Great Place to Work Institute, and was the only financial institution and the only Ibex35 company to be included in this list. In terms of our relationship with our customers, we strive constantly to provide a quality service, something which is part of our DNA as a service company. I should point out that Bankinter continues to exhibit service quality ratios way above our competitors, especially among individuals, where we are 4.8 above the market average in the NSI (Net Satisfaction Index). I also take this opportunity to mention some of the prizes awarded to the Bank in areas relating to our support for the most disadvantaged sectors of society, for society in general and also for the environment. Not for nothing are we considered, according to the GS Sustain index, as the best Bank in terms of responsible environmental management. This year we were awarded the Tecnet 2009 prize for Corporate Social Responsibility for the project creating IT classrooms in retirement homes managed by Sanitas Residencial; and one of the National Prizes awarded by

6 Bankinter Annual Report Chairman's Letter the Federación Nacional de Parapléjicos y Grandes Discapacitados Físicos (ASPAYM), for "universal accessibility and design for all", for our projects in favour of the integration of the disabled, including full access to the Bank's website and network of branches. In terms of our relationship with society, the business world, universities and entrepreneurs, we have always acted in accordance with our values, supporting innovation and talent as a driver for change and progress. Accordingly the Bankinter Foundation for Innovation continues to be one of the best examples of the Bank's aspirations. This is a different type of Foundation - open, multidiscipline and participative, which seeks to encourage innovation in our entrepreneurial and educational environment, as the only advantage sustainable over time, and as a model of behaviour in which we can all see ourselves reflected. That's all. I would just like to say that the new financial year, which will be challenging, will also be full of opportunities for the Bank, as it ushers in a new era in which honesty, responsibility, prudence, best practice, quality of service, and the ability to innovate will be the definitive benchmark values in the financial world. And it is precisely in these areas that Bankinter is strongest. You may rest assured that, in such an environment, we shall succeed in generating value for all of you, and that as Chairman I will put all my efforts and enthusiasm into achieving this. Many thanks

For individuals, in 2009 the Bank achieved an overall satisfaction score of 74,45 points, 4,8 points above the market average. Alejandra Marrupe, Quality Consultant

14 Bankinter Annual Report Quality Management > Bankinter Quality > Service that is different > Quality in private individuals: > Quality in SMEs > Quality in handling incidents > Quality and internal customers > Taking action to improve quality In 2009, Bankinter customers showed high levels of satisfaction with the products and services received from the Bank. Bankinter's quality reflects the trust of our customers. Quality of service is one of the fundamental points on which Bankinter's success is based, and is reflected in the results of customer surveys. In 2009, Bankinter customers showed high levels of satisfaction with the products and services received from the Bank. This measurement is carried out on a monthly basis by independent companies, whose data give us an in depth knowledge of each segment, distribution network and service platform with which the customer may interact at any time, as well as of each office or centre with which customers deal. These measurements of customer perceptions are completed and contrasted with a large number of objective indicators, which enable the specific measurement of lead-times and the quantification of any incidents occurring during each process. Through internal surveys we check that, from both the branch network and central services, we are offering an exceptional service, with all internal systems and processes systematically conforming to quality models. Bankinter would particularly like to thank all its customers for the time and care they have spent in responding to our surveys, which means we can find out what their needs are and, as far as possible, anticipate them. A market analysis is also performed periodically, in the Private Individuals and SME segments, with the aim of ascertaining Bankinter's position in relation to its competitors and identifying the service factors that set us apart.

15 Bankinter Annual Report Quality Management > Bankinter Quality > Service that is different > Quality in private individuals: > Quality in SMEs > Quality in handling incidents > Quality and internal customers > Taking action to improve quality Overall satisfaction by segment 2009 (NSI out of 100) Personal Finance 76.7 Private individuals Private Banking 74.8 Foreign customers A different Bank with customers that demand better service. Bankinter measures customer satisfaction through monthly surveys, in each of the various segments to which it offers a differential service (Personal Finance, Private Banking, Individuals, Foreigners, SMEs and Corporate Banking), in the distribution networks through which customers operate (branch network, network of agents, virtual offices, telephone banking and online banking offices), as well as through the service platforms through which our customers interact with the Bank (telephone banking, broker, mobile, individual and corporate online banking platforms). This satisfaction is measured through the Net Satisfaction Index (NSI), in which scoring ranges from 0 to 100, interpreted as follows: > 85 Very satisfied, or excellent service High level of satisfaction Needs improvement. <60 Needs action. As can be seen in the graphs, both in segments and networks as well as in service platforms, quality ratios approach and on occasions exceed 75 NSI points. Any mark above 75 shows a high quality of service Overall cumulative satisfaction by segment at December 2009 (NSI out of 100) SMEs 71.9 Corporate Banking Personal Finance Private Banking Private individuals Foreign customers SMEs Corporate Banking

17 Bankinter Annual Report Quality Management > Bankinter Quality > Service that is different > Quality in private individuals: > Quality in businesses > Quality in handling incidents > Quality and internal customers > Taking action to improve quality A different Bank that seeks to be the best for private individuals. Year after year, Bankinter has held a leadership position in the perception of quality by private individual customers. We carry out market research on a quarterly basis through an independent consultant, that allows us to discover the level of customer satisfaction (private individuals) with the perceived service of their Bank or savings Bank. Knowing Bankinter's relative position with respect to other financial institutions in the Spanish market, and knowing which are the most significant service factors, gives us the perception indicator for services that private customers receive from Bankinter, and their greater perceived satisfaction. The research conclusions are obtained by asking customers about eleven aspects of service that are important to them.
