Reporting Segments REPORTING SEGMENTS
The Bank manages and measures the performance of its operations by business segments. The reporting is based on the Bank's internal information system for management of the segments established by the Bank.
Inter-segment transactions are conducted under normal commercial terms and conditions. Each segment's assets, liabilities, and results include items directly attributable to the segment on which they can be allocated reasonably. A business segment comprises clients to whom a differentiated product offer is directed while being homogeneous in terms of their performance and measured similarly.
To achieve the strategic objectives established by senior management and adapt to changing market conditions, the Bank periodically makes adjustments to its organization. These adjustments, in turn, have varying degrees of impact on how the Bank is managed or administered.
During 2024, the Bank maintains the general criteria applied in 2023, with the addition of dividing the Retail segment (formerly Individuals and SMEs) between Retail and Wealth Management & Insurance segments. For comparative purposes, the 2023 data has been revised to include these modifications.
The Bank has the reportable segments noted below:
Retail
It includes individuals and small to middle-sized companies (SMEs) with an annual income of less than UF400,000. This segment offers various services, including consumer loans, credit cards, commercial loans, foreign exchange, mortgage loans, debit cards, current accounts, savings products, and brokerage of mutual fund brokerage, securities and insurance. Additionally, SME clients are offered government-guaranteed loans, leasing and factoring.
Wealth Management & Insurance
This segment comprises the Insurance and Private Banking businesses, also coordinating the distribution of the different investment products and services to the rest of the Santander Group's Divisions in Chile. Santander Insurance's business offers both personal and business insurance products such as, health, life, travel, savings, personal protection, auto, unemployment, among others. Finally, to high-net-worth clients, Santander Private Banking offers everything from transactional products and services (credits, cards, foreign trade, purchase/sale of shares) to sophisticated products and services such as international investment accounts, structured funds, alternative investment funds, wealth management and open architecture.
Middle-market
This segment includes companies with annual sales exceeding 400,000 UF without a cap (for specialized industries in the Metropolitan Region, annual sales exceeding 100,000 UF without a cap). It also encompasses institutional organizations such as universities, government agencies, municipalities, regional governments, and real estate companies undertaking projects for third-party sales, as well as all construction companies with annual sales exceeding 100,000 UF without a cap. A wide range of products is offered to this segment, including commercial loans, leasing, factoring, foreign trade, credit cards, mortgage loans, checking accounts, transactional services, treasury services, financial consulting, savings products, mutual funds, and insurance brokerage. Additionally, specialized services are provided to real estate companies for financing primarily residential projects, aiming to increase the sale of mortgage loans.
Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB)
This segment offers a wide range of products, including commercial loans, leasing, factoring, foreign trade, credit cards, checking accounts, transactional services, treasury services, financial consulting, investment banking, savings products, mutual funds, and insurance brokerage. This segment services firms with annual sales exceeding EUR 500 million, EBITDA over EUR 150 million, and assets exceeding EUR 1 billion. For financial institutions, the requirement is assets greater than 10 trillion Chilean pesos.
This segment incorporates the Treasury Division, which provides sophisticated financial products primarily to companies in the Wholesale Banking and Corporate Banking areas.

Corporate Activities and Other
This segment includes Financial Management, which performs the global management of the structural exchange rate position, the structural interest rate risk, and liquidity levels. The latter is managed through the implementation of issuances and other institutional funding mechanisms. Likewise, it also manages capital levels, capital assignment to the different business segments, transfer prices and the cost of financing its own investment portfolio. This usually entails that this segment has a negative contribution to the results.
Furthermore, this segment incorporates all intra-segment results and all activities not allocated to a segment or product with customers.
This segment includes Financial Management, which is responsible for globally managing the structural foreign exchange position, the structural interest rate risk, the inflation gap, and liquidity levels and risk of the Bank. The latter is addressed through issuances and other funding mechanisms. Additionally, it manages capital levels, allocates capital to each business segment, determines transfer prices, and the cost of funding its own investment portfolio. These activities typically result in a negative contribution to overall results.
Furthermore, this segment incorporates all intra-segment results and all activities that are not assigned to a specific segment or customer-related product.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the breakdown of accounting standards and are customized to meet the Bank's management needs. The Bank's earnings stem mostly from income from interest, commissions, and financial transactions. Accordingly, the highest decision-making authority for each segment relies primarily on interest income, fee income and provision expenses to assess segment performance and thus make decisions on the resource allocation to the segments.
