Santander's Querétaro data center serves Banco Santander México and is one of the four main data processing centers in the group's global network, with Spain, Brazil and the United Kingdom. A private international communications ring links it to the group's data centers in those countries. It supports the bank's operations in Mexico, the United States, Puerto Rico, Uruguay and Colombia. Santander Digital Services runs it, sharing round-the-clock operations between Spain, Mexico and Brazil.

Santander developed the building as Proyecto Q, with four data halls to be fitted out in two phases and an investment of about 560 million pesos (US$44 million).

The company has its registered office in Boadilla del Monte, near Madrid, and has more than 8,000 staff.
