MADRID, Nov 17 (Reuters) - Spain’s Santander is not planning to participate in a traditional banking consolidation and would “much more likely” continue buying technological and online banking platforms, Chairman Ana Botin said on Tuesday.
Her comments came a day after BBVA and Sabadell announced they were in merger talks to create the second-biggest domestic lender by assets.
