SAN FRANCISCO: A partnership between Uber Technologies and Banco Santander SA's US auto loan unit is over, Uber told Reuters, removing one of the country's most prominent car lenders from a programme trumpeted by the app-based ride service. 

Uber launched a program in November 2013 to link prospective drivers who do not have a car with manufacturers and lenders, in the hopes it would boost the number of cars on the road for the app-based service.
