Banco de Crédito e Inversiones (BCI)

Banco BCI (Banco de Crédito e Inversiones) is one of Chile’s largest private banks, founded in 1937 and still owned by the Yarur family. It ranks third among private banks in loans and fourth by customer numbers, with a significant presence in both Chile and the United States via City National Bank of Florida.

BCI is widely regarded as a pioneer in sustainable banking. It has led Chile's Merco ESG rankings for over a decade, reflecting strong performance across environmental, social, and governance metrics. The bank is the first Chilean private bank to join the UN‑backed Net Zero Banking Alliance, committing to carbon‑neutral loan and investment portfolios by 2050 and reducing emissions intensity in key sectors by 20% by 2030.
