- Strong YoY total loan portfolio growth, highlighting a solid increase in individual loans, mainly due to double-digit growth in credit cards, payroll and auto loans. While loan volumes in the commercial portfolio were driven by increases of middle-market companies and financial entities.
- Total deposits showed a pick-up of 6.9% YoY, driven by term deposits on the back of a higher interest rate environment, while demand deposits reflected the Bank's profitability focus. Meanwhile, contribution of individuals in total deposits represented 41.4%, compared with 24.2% in 2016.
- Net income increased 19.7% YoY in 4Q22, mainly due to the solid increase in NII and fees, along with lower expenses resulting from disciplined cost control.

Felipe García, Banco Santander México Executive President and CEO, commented: "I am very pleased to share with you that we reported net income growth of 46% YoY and 24% higher than the pre-pandemic level in 2019.
During the fourth quarter, we maintained solid performance levels in our core businesses while maintaining excellent asset quality throughout the loan portfolio. Total loans grew almost 8% year on year, with strong performance across our entire loan book (except for SMEs). In individual loans, we had a solid increase compared to last year, mainly due to double-digit growth in credit cards, payroll, and auto loans.
In terms of deposits, we continue executing our strategy to attract and retain individual clients while letting go of some expensive corporate deposits. Also, it is worth noting that at the end of 2022, we achieved the greatest exposure to individual clients now contributing 41.4% of total deposits, a significant increase from 24.2% at the beginning of 2016. However, we are still far from where we want to be, so we will continue to focus on it until we are able to achieve a similar mix to what relevant peers have in the Mexican market.
Also, during 2022, we achieved first place ever in the Local Debt Capital Market, with 60 issuances and reaching a market share of ~25% equivalent to an amount of Ps.80 billion pesos, demonstrating the significant trust from our clients in our execution capabilities. Our goal is to offer the best customer experience in both, the advisory business and the retail business.
In terms of financial inclusion, we are very proud of our leadership in the region and the positive impact we have made on our customers through Tuiio. As of the end of 2022, we have helped more than 390 thousand low-income customers, to support inclusive growth through financial empowerment and education. Thanks to these loans, 65% of our clients have experienced improvements in their lives in personal and economic terms.
During 2023, we will continue advancing our strategic priorities, enhancing our products, digital offerings, distribution network, and, most importantly, the overall customer experience. Although we have made good progress with our bank's operational transformation, we are nevertheless mindful that we must step up the pace in working toward our goal of building a much stronger franchise and becoming the best banking option in Mexico ."
