1.1Letter from the Chairman of BancoEstado_
2018 was a good year for BancoEstado, during which our institution underwent important changes.AfterMr.SebastianPiñeraEcheniquetookofficeasPresidentoftheRepublic,theGovernmentproceededtoappointanewExecutiveCommitteeandanewBoardofDirectors.Shortlyaftertakingoffice,thenewExecutiveCommitteeofBancoEstadointroduced changes in the structure of the bank’s top management and announced the mainstrategicmanagementlinesthathadjustbegun.Theseaxesarefive:(i)expandanddeepenfinancialinclusion;(ii)promoteasavings’culture;(iii)boostdevelopmentbysupportingsmallandmicroenterprises;iv)guaranteetheoperationalcontinuityandsafetyofouroperations;and(v)promoteamotivated,preparedanddynamichumanteam.
Certainly, inthefirstmonthssinceIassumedasChairman,itwasessentialtoknowBancoEstado in depth, with its particularities, its corporate culture, its human resources, the characteristics of the various types of clients, its ample geographic coverage, subsidiaries, products,etc.TodayIamconvincedthatBancoEstadofulfillsaveryrelevantroleinthedevelopment of the economic activity of the country, with features different from a commercial private bank. Its relationship with the various State entities and its support to deploy public policies, the successful and ample diffusion of banking services to the people,itsworkteamscommittedandidentifiedwiththebank’smissionaswellasthegeographiccoveragearesomeofthefeaturesthatmakeitadifferentfinancialentity,unique and important for the lives of all the inhabitants of the country.
Intermsoffinancialperformance,inaccordancetotheeconomiccyclethatshowedevidentimprovementsongrowthindicators,BancoEstadoachievedayearwithpositivefigures,limitedcreditrisk,accompaniedbygoodlevelsofcontrolonexpenses.Infact,provisionsfor loan losses/operating income accounted 0.8% in the year for all loans, which is less thanthe1%shownbythefinancialsystem;andtheefficiencyindex,thatis,expensesinterms of the operational margin, improved from 62.9% in the previous year to 58.3% in 2018.Allinall,in2018thebankgenerated$356thousandmillioninincomebeforetax,which represents a real 25% growth from previous year.
Duringfiscalyear2018,BancoEstado’stotalloansgrewby3.3%real,whichisbelowtheaverage growth of the system. This moderate growth obeyed to a strategy of focusing our commercial efforts on retail and small size businesses, at the same time as seeking toenhancetheprofitabilityofoperationswithlargebusinessesbywayofoptimizingthe use of capital, a scarce resource set by the new requirements established in the new General Banking Law.
As a result of this, loans to medium, small and micro enterprises grew by 7.4% in real terms this year , while housing loans 5.4% real growth and consumer loans 10.7% real growth.
In the segment of large businesses and corporations and in State institutions, the emphasis was on deepening the relationship with clients, the wide offer of products and enhancements on payment services and cash management, as well as seeking to continue having an active role in funding relevant and large projects.
“Today I am convincedthat BancoEstado fulfills
a very relevant role inthe development of
the economic activityof the country, with
features different from acommercial private bank.”

On loans, it is worth mentioning the effort to return to a greater leadership in funding theagriculture.Tothisend,wecreatedtheofficeforAgriculturalCreditRiskLoans(CréditoAgricolaManagementoffice)undertheCorporateRiskDivisionandestablishedanassistantmanagementofficeresponsibleforsupportingthePlanImpulsoAraucania(Drive Araucania Plan) that is being carried out by the Government.

At the same time, on the effort of promoting savings, there were a number of campaigns deployed to open new traditional savings accounts and the voluntary pension plan (APV) in mutual funds. Thus, savings accounts in 2018 increased by more than 852 thousand newaccounts-asignificantnumberofthemopenedthroughamobileapplication-and154 thousand new clients joined the Voluntary Retirement Savings (APV) program led by BancoEstado subsidiary Administradora General de Fondos. Likewise, during 2018 the acquisition network of debit or credit transactions of BancoEstado was launched, under the brand name Compraquí. By the end of the year, there were more than 11,500 small businessesintheCompraquinetworkandweexpecttoreachover40thousandpointsin 2019.
All this effort has been accompanied by a consistent strategy on Financial Education that reached 800 thousand people in 2018, leveraged by our work at branches, agreements with public agencies, educational programs in schools, technical training centers and community colleges.
Simultaneously with the large increase in the number of accounts and transactions that thisimplies,thebankcontinuestoexpanditsservicechannels.SpecialattentionhasbeengiventoCajaVecina,whichexperiencedanincreasefrom22,147to25,400servicepointsin 2018, processing over 386 million transactions.
Likewise, the presence of BancoEstado with customary branches continues to be a aspiration of many communities claiming they would like standard banking service. Accordingly, during 2018,thebankcontinueditsfiveyearsoldexpansionprogramandopenednationwidesevennewbranches,oneofthemintheMetropolitanareaandtheremainingsixelsewhereinareasthatpreviouslyhadnobankingcoverageoroffice.
Notwithstandingtheconcerntomaintainanefficientoperationand,atthesametime,being aware that each year a larger share of transactions is generated remotely, the bank acknowledges that given the quantity and variety of clients’ requirements, it will be necessary to continue to improve the geographical coverage in Chile. That is the reason why in the upcoming years we will continue to analyze opening new BancoEstado or ServiEstado branches, particularly in those municipalities or secluded neighborhoods with an important number of inhabitants, always trying to use simple and agile processes that secure the sustainability over time of these service points. At the same time, the bank continuestoallocateresourcestoimproveandexpandservicesrenderedthroughwebpages, also increasing stability and safety.
As I said earlier, the transaction volume we process every day grows month to month representing a very high percentage of all transactions carried out in the Chilean banking system. Hence the importance for the regular development of commercial operations in the country that BancoEstado must insure it will operate with no interruptions and in a secure and safe manner.
“I want to highlight that each of the achievements and successes herein stated is the result of the engine that moves our entire institution: our workers. Thanks to their commitment, adaptability to changes and teamwork, we could meet the goals we set forth for ourselves.”

Thus,forthelasttwoyearsthebankhasmadesignificantinvestmentsondataprocessingequipment and facilities, a program that continued during 2018 and should be completed in 2020. Likewise, in 2018, we launched a plan to strengthen cyber security derived from astudycompletedinthefirstquarter.Onthismatter,thebankshallcontinuetoroutinelyinvest at the same time taking charge of the modernization of its central systems, whose analysis stage is now undergoing development. In terms of regulations, in October 2018, the General Banking Law Reform was approved and contains new and more stringent capital requirements, according to international standards. For BancoEstado, this new standard means an additional capital requirement for the upcoming years, particularly if the bank wants to continue growing and being a relevant player in the national banking system. To meet this challenge, the bank should be able to continue increasing its self-generation of resources by optimizing its assets compositionandimproveitsoperationalefficiency,aswealreadydidin2018,andalsowillrequire hybrid instruments. Correspondingly, the bank will need the State to contribute with additional capital. Fully aware that there are multiple requets for additional State funds, the entire BancoEstado team is committed to continue showing the country it is capable of multiplying those resources and continue being a key pillar for the people’s development of our country.
I want to highlight that each of the achievements and successes herein stated is the result oftheenginethatmovesourentireinstitution:ourworkers.Thankstotheircommitment,adaptability to changes and team work, we could meet the goals we set forth for ourselves. That is why I want to acknowledge the BancoEstado and subsidiaries’ work teams their effort and dedication shown during 2018.
Understanding that modernizations and redesign of operations in a bank the size of BancoEstadotakemanyyears,bymid-2018,theExecutiveCommitteeinvitedover10thousand bank workers and more than 4 thousand people from its subsidiaries to participate atdiscussionmeetingsonwhatdoestoday’sChileexpectsfromBancoEstadoandwhatBancoEstado must be 10 years into the future. After 635 meetings where 11 thousand people participated, including almost one thousand clients, there was a big assembly in January2019withrepresentativesofallthebank’sestatestodefinethelargedreamsofBancoEstado. We may say now that, 163 years since being Caja de Ahorro, BancoEstado starts one more journey to make sure that in 10 more years it will be as much current as today, servicing Chile and all the Chilean people. Our drive is the belief that with the effort and commitment of all of us who work at BancoEstado, we may become the most appreciated business for Chileans and the best State bank of the world.

This implies that banks must increase and improve their capital. The former in terms of a quantitativeincreaseandthelaterinqualitativetermsonhowtoconfigurethestructureofsaid capital. Such increase and enhancement, according to a temporary article, establishes a termofuptofiveyearsfrombeingofficiallypublished.Likewise,itsdeterminationwillalsodepend on how the Commission for the Financial Market (CMF) regulates some subjects, whichwilldependoncertaincircumstancesspecifictoeachbankorhowriskweightsareregulated, among other matters.
The law also contemplates merging the SBIF by the CMF, which will occur more likely within oneyearfrompublishingthenewlaw;theadequacytothisregulatingandsupervisoryentity holds a collegiate corporate governance body and not a single authority as the current Superintendency.
Upon the adoption of the new banking law, the bank industry will abide by a regulation with the highest international standards, implying with it a stronger and better banking industry and better prepared to face crisis situations, either domestically or international.
Lastly,theexpectationisthatthroughthemodernizationofthebankinglaw,promotionand access to loans by small and medium size entrepreneurs increases.

BancoEstado has made estimates as to the resulting capital requirements from applying thelaw,whichwilldependtoalargeextentonthedefinitionstheCentralBankandtheCMF will set. The most relevant issues in this areaare:creditriskweights,systembankrequirements and perpetual instruments. In any case, the capital requirements may complete within the term established by the law and furthermore, part of these may be covered with new instruments that the law itselfindicatesandwiththeprofitsgeneratedby the bank in said period.

International scenarioThe world economy showed a high growth in 2018 and similar to the previous year, although subjecttochangesinthecompositionaccordingtoblocks,wherethelargerexpansionofthe USA contrasted with the relative weakness of Europe and Japan and the lesser growth of China. In the second semester, the commercial dispute between the USA and China, affected the price of commodities and therefore emerging countries.
Despite the economic slowdown in the USA in the second part of the year, unemployment reachedminimallevels,whichshowedasignificantgrowthofthelabormass.This,addedtothegrowingtrendofinflationdrovetheFEDtoraiseby100basepointstheofficialinterest rate during the year (from 1.5% to 2.5%).

Despite the economic rebound, the unemployment rate captured by the INE survey reached a 7% average, which is even higher than prior year. However, according to estimates from differentsources,includingtheCentralBank,theINEemploymentgrowthfigurewouldbe underestimated since it does not include the effect of immigrant workers, as it is a recent phenomenon.
During2018,thetrendoftheinflationpathwasupwards,returningtothecenteroftheband at the start of the second semester after having remained below 2% for a good part of the previous year. Thus, it closed the 2018 year at 2.6%, although mainly driven by volatile components.
Inflationrecoveryandeconomicactivitywasaccompaniedbyamorerestrictivemonetarypolicy with a 25 base point upward adjustment during the year. The Monetary Policy Rate (TPM) closed 2018 at 2.75%, with a bullish bias that manifested itself as an additional riseinthefirst2019meeting.
OutlookDuring 2019, the Chilean economy would continue the recovery initiated with the rebound started at the end of 2017, although at a slower pace, due to, among other things, the uncertainty coming from the global economy. The Central Bank in the last Monetary Policy Report, March 2019, estimatedaGDPexpansioninthe3.0%to4.0% range (25 base points below projected figuresinthereportofthepreviousquarter).
Inthiscontext, it isanticipatedthatthemonetary policy interest rate (MPR) would have a moderate increase, aligning itself with the US Federal Reserve, which does not foresee new rises on its rate during 2019. According to a survey of Economic ExpectationsoftheCentralBank,theMPRwould rise to reach 3.25% by the end of 2019.
Recently the prospects of the foreign scenario have shown some deterioration that may be affected by the European situation due the externalrisksassociatedtotheBrexit,theperformance of the US economy and the risk of aggravating the commercial war between China and the US that is still latent. These phenomena, among others, could affect growth projections and the local MPR.

3.1.3 Thebankingindustry:activityandresults_
In2018,thecreditactivityhadasignificantrecoveryinbankingactivitycomparedtotheevolutionofrecentyears,reflectingtheimprovementoftheeconomicenvironmentand better perspectives of the agents. Total loans in the system reached an annual real growth of 7.1% in 2018, driven by commercial loans that represent 56% of total loans andexperienceda7.7%rise,whiletheportfolioofconsumerloansgrew6.3%and6.4%on mortgage loans.
Infact,banksheldmoreflexibleconditionstograntcredittolargebusinessesduringthe year, while mortgage loans reported more stringent requirements in the last quarter of 2018. Also, demand for household loans was perceived to be more strengthened in mortgage and consumer loans, while in large companies and SMEs remained dynamic.
In this scenario, risk indicators of the system had an improvement, concentrated on commercialportfolio(riskindex2.28%,dropped13basispoints)andmortgageportfolio(0.76% with a drop of 10 base points) while the increased on consumption, was due to the transfer of retail and commercial stores’ credit cards to the system.
Inthefinancialarea,theresultsofthesystemgrew9.1%in2018,animprovementdrivenby the recovery of Banco Itaú-Corpbanca (including non-recurring effects). In this way, the ROE of the system reached 15.5%, standing at 0.7 p.p. (percentage points) higher than theendofpreviousyear.Theefficiencyofthesystemreached49.7%,whichrepresenta 1.9% improvement over prior year, mostly due to BancoEstado and small and medium banks. In relation to the solvency of the bank, it closed December 2018 at a lower level than the previous year, with a BIS ratio of 13.3% (effective equity over risk-weighted assets).
The 2019’s outlook for the banking industry anticipate a credit real growth similar to 2018. The growth would be given by commercial loans,associatedwiththeinvestmentfigurespresented in the local economy, we also estimate a recovery in mortgage loans and a maintenance in consumer loans.
At the same time, by 2019 the banking industry will look closely at the preparation of the new regulations associated with the new General Banking Law enacted in 2018, which will be prepared by the regulatory body, and will determine new requirements for banking. Faced with this, the largest institutions have already made most of the required capital adjustments. Definitionsintermsofoperationalrisk,such as cybersecurity and in general the regulation of technological aspects, may have impacts, but it is estimated that the authority will consider a gradual application of the standards.

In the same way, Corporación BancoEstado is permanently evaluating the methodological adjustments to be aligned with the best practices concerning the new General Banking Law. It has taken knowledge and is awaiting the methodological requirements that may arise from it by the agencies responsible for this task.

3.2.4 Social and environmental risk policy_
In 2016, we implemented in BancoEstado a Social and Environmental Risk Policy so our customers in the segments of Corporate Business, Large Business, Real Estate, Construction, Concessions and Project Finance may perform their activities in a sustainable manner with environmental management that minimizes the negative impact on ecological systems
and communities.
Our Social and Environmental Risk Policy declares BancoEstado’s commitment to promote and stimulate a sustainable management in their business and the projects funded by the bank, being relevant the fact that borrowers have formal procedures and instances of environmental management that minimizes, controls and manages adequately the negative impacts that their activities may generate in ecosystems and communities.
At BancoEstado we assume this responsibility and, for this, during the 2018 management, we moved forward on the implementation of our policy by creating, for that purpose, the SocialandEnvironmentalRiskUnitthatreportstotheRiskCorporateManagementoffice.Furthermore, we created the Social and Environmental Risk Manual that sets the evaluation method for clients that belong to the segments Corporate Business, Large Business, Real Estate, Construction, Concessions and Project Finance.
Another important milestone in the implementation of the policy was to start the Social and Environmental Risk Evaluation Process to classify customers according to their risk level in Category A, B or C.
Classifying businesses will allow to visualize the social and environmental risk of the portfolio and focus this analysis on companies that rate, preferably, categories high and average.

CMPC-Sernac Refund_
In 2018 we were presented with a great challenge when we were summoned by the government and SERNAC authorities to manage the largest, most complexandmassivepaymentoperationinhistory:therefundpaymentto those affected by the CMPC case in August 2018.
This process set a precedent in our history and the country’s, as we were able to show our capability and support as an institution by successfully making a payment to more than 13 million inhabitants of the country that involved more than 10 million transactions in a shorttimeandwithnomajorinconveniences.TheCMPCcaseisthefirstrefundprocessresultingfromacollusioncase,whereSERNAC,asthebodyinchargeofleading,executingandmonitoringthismilestone,soughtafinancialinstitutioncapabletoexecutepaymentsin the shortest possible time and with the greatest territorial coverage.
In this scenario, early in 2017, we started our task that in the end would pay every person holding a BancoEstado account and those registered to receive their refund through CajaVecina, generating in this way 10,390,000 total payments through the bank, which is 79% of the universe of payments.
Thankstotheexcellentrelationshipamongtheparticipatingentitiesinthisprocess,ourbankwas in charge of the co-design and deployment of a high impact process, which required veryhighcomplexsystems,securityandefficiency,henceallowingthefullconfidenceofgovernment authorities and the trust of Sernac.

This agreement was achieved thanks to the development of the Third Party Wallet, a new functionality that is installed in applications currently available in the market and works as debit payment, charging the product of the customer’s preference offered by our bank.
By December, we had a total of 151,009 successful enrollments.
Mr. Leopoldo Quintano, manager of the Marketing and Quality Division, highlighted “theresultsareexcellent,both inappdownloads as well as in the purchase of fuel. No doubt that the visibility this alliance had in the media and the $25 discount per liter of gasoline to those who download it, has been fundamental, but the important thing is that it helped people to know their advantages and we hope that it is the way they use from now on to buy their gasoline”, concluded.

Withthesefindings,webuildasetofmotivesor micro levers of loyalty/disloyalty that as they repeat over and over, they build up the rationale for clients to support or reject our practice (code book). The base of the surveys was 14,243 interactions during 2018 for the bank questions and 30,043 for our channels. In both cases, customers from the Retail Segment who had interactions with the bank a week before being surveyed were approached.

Management was performed from two environments,mainly:
• Confronting the root-cause of the motives for disloyalty, understood as the problems orsituationsexperiencedbycustomers.By participating in the high-impact or strategic projects that come to install new capabilities in the bank, we were there searching for impact solutions to thecustomerexperienceandneeds.
• Participating in the management of digital channels by offering the NPS management as an improvement tool. During 2018 we worked at the channel tables to 1) analyze the root-cause of the greatest impactmotivesintheindicator;2)designaction plans to take over the reasons for rejections and 3) keep track of how the indicator evolved after doing the work.
Finally, and in an evolutionary view, the graphs shows the performance of the indicator from the beginning of measuring until December 2018, when gauging was ended.

Also, a great innovation was incorporated in the last quarter of 2018 , we start the pilot of the “New CuentaRUT card” that will allow to improve the offer of the product and update its tariff. This new card integrates technology and security developments by including a chip and the option to make purchases abroad.
Thecommitmenttointegrateall inhabitantsofChiletothefinancialsystemwithnodistinctions has led us to strongly support the processes related to the insertion of migrants inourcountry.Wehighlightourparticipationintheprocessofextraordinaryregularizationof immigrants in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Immigration carried out by the Government through the Ministry of Interior, between the months of July and November along the entire country. In this process we enabled the registration of CuentaRUT and the optiontosendremittancesabroadaswellasreceiveinformationonfinancialeducationtomorethan35thousandimmigrantsthroughflyerscontainingcounselinginformationin Creole and Spanish, in a simple and didactic way, “En Fácil y en Chileno”.
Regarding the option to send remittances abroad, we want to highlight the link between this initiative and one of the specific goals of ODS 10, because precisely, sending remittances and collecting moderate commissions are part of this objective in the sense of improving regulation to institutions and financial markets, easing migration.

BancoEstado is the banking institution with the most extensive network of points of service in the country, with presence in all the communes.
During 2018, we have opened 7 new branches, especially in communities without the presence of other banks, such as Freire, Retiro, Florida, Pelluhue, Cisnes and Lo Espejo. These openings allow us to advance in the inclusion of smaller or more isolated locations to the field of banking services, allowing their inhabitants to have all the banking products and services within their own localities.
People who live in areas faraway from large cities or in densely populated municipalities, access banking services through ServiEstado and/or CajaVecina points located in places closer to their residence.
Thewidecoverageofourinstitutionconsolidatesusasthemostextendedbankingnetworkof the country, with presence in all communes through different formats. These advances strengthen our position as the most relevant branch network in the country, which in 2018 completed416servicepoints,reachingwithfinancialservicestomorethan96%oftheinhabitants of the country. Along with this, we serve more than 6 million customers per month at a national level and we have presence in 262 out of the 346 communes in the country, equivalent to 76% of the total.
*dispensers deliver balances, bank account statements and credit payment coupons. ATMs allow to draw, deposit and transfer money among your own accounts, recharge the BIP card and prepay mobile phones.
Of the total of 416 branches, 14.6% are located in municipal lands or premises, as a result of agreements with local governments to facilitate access to banking in these locations.
Added to the above, to December of the same year, we were the only bank present in 134 communes in the country, which translates into 32.2% of our service network is in communes where we are the only bank.
Our focus in the branch opening plan concentratesonenhancingthefinancialinclusion in remote or vulnerable locations that have few or no financial services available. The importance of this objective lies in the positive impact that occurs in the place of origin, since, on the one hand, the economicflowstartstocirculateaspeoplestart to spend in their own location, starts to save and manage payments through financialservicesandontheotherhand,spends less time travelling around doing financialerrandsandtheidentityandsenseof belonging to the territory they inhabit gets stronger.

4.3.2 CajaVecina_
On the other hand, we expandedourcoveragetoover 25 thousand CajaVecina service points in the country. By opening the CajaVecina
service point in Melipilla, we set a new milestone in the growth of our correspondent network, which allows us to reach millions of people and is now present throughout the national territory, from Arica to Antarctica. Of the 25,400 service points that we had, 3,253 were new additions in 2018.
The installation of CajaVecina points occurs indifferentspacessoastotakefinancialservices to people who live in isolated localities, in diverse geographic and cultural territories of our country. We already have points in fairs, boats that run through the Chiloé archipelago and, from 2018, in huts in the central south area of the country, as part of the Wengamen Plan, which means “Open a path” in the Mapudungun language.
On closing 2018, we counted 202 service points;amongourinnovatedformats,wequote:
• 1 hut• 2 boats• 7 catalog sellers • 192fleamarkets
During 2018, we processed 387 million transactions, which represent a 15% increase with respect to the total transactions of theyear2017;44.5%ofthetotalin2018corresponds to drafts and deposits. In turn we completed 1,149,889 FONASA vouchers (public health system) sold through CajaVecina, adding at the closing of the year more than 1.5 million payments since the agreement started.
CajaVecina in a Carahue hut and Wengamen Plan
In November 2018, we inaugurated a new CajaVecina point in the hut of Yesika Marivil, in theCarahue commune, locality of Trovolhue in the region of Araucanía, with which we started the Wengamen Plan (“open a path”), which consists of enabling the service provided by the BancoEstado subsidiary CajaVecina in huts at different emblematic places of the central south of Chile.

Active Branch
A relevant innovation to move forward towards providing quality service to all our customers is Sucursal Activa (Active Branch), an initiative whose main objectives are, on one hand, todeliverabetterexperiencetoourcustomersthroughamoreexpediteservicebyusingautomated channels, shorter lines and less waiting time, and on the other hand, improve the quality of life of our workers.
The initiative brings together a number of lines of work to be implemented in the short andmediumterm,emphasizingsimplerprocessesandexpediteserviceatcountersandtellers by routing customers towards other channels, not in-person and self-service.
To the date, we have already made improvements after deploying this initiative, such as eliminate the commission charge to get CuentaRUT statements through self-service, the optionofimmediatedisbursementofapprovedloans,thetimeextensiontoactivatethepassword in plastic cards from 48 hours to 10 days and allow to activate passwords in the customer service counter through a point of sale device.
4.5 Acquirement Network – Compraquí _
Inordertocontributetothefinancialinclusionofsmallbusinessinourcountry, as well as to simplify life and make it more agile to our customers, we have been implementing “Compraquí” since 2017, which is an electronic payment system that seeks to cut down the use of cash and reach all corners of the country, with special focus on business that did not have payment
through cards to their clients.
A wide coverage of the Compraquí network is part of our commitments to the year 2022, seeking to facilitate the use of “plastic money” for all people in Chile, decrease the use of cash and be the bank where other banks are not present. The mission of this new subsidiary is to contribute to the social and economic development of the country through an acquirement network that lets small and micro business accept card payments. The objective of this new network is to generate the necessary conditions to encourage sectors currently lacking this type of service, regardless of their size, transactional level orgeographiclocationinordertoreachabetterfinancialinclusion.
To the date,, out of the 1.7 million transactions completed with this system (worth $21 thousand millions), two thirds are from people and one third from small size business. From the customer’s perspective of commercial establishments, the record shows that over 60% of the users that pay via Compraquí are BancoEstado clients, most of them CuentaRUT account holders.
Compraquí was designed as another tool for financial inclusion, so micro businesses may incorporate payment with cards in a sustainable manner, not requiring a fixed monthly lease and maintenance fees for the POS.
RegardingthetypeofbusinessaffiliatedtoCompraquí, a large number corresponds to micro and small businesses, some of them distant, with a low volume of transactions and very low amounts. At this point, it is important to highlight that the Compraquí commercial plan deems to reach, in particular, economic activities and geographic areas where there is rare coverage of other networks, seeking also to train business in the appropriate use of the system, generating in turn changes in consumer habits.
As a result, we may point out that at the end of 2018, Compraquí is present in 86% of the communes in Chile demonstrating its widecoverageintherolloutstageandfirstyear of operation, scoring 11,555 points of Compraquí deployments. During the year, wecontinuetoextendourcoveragethroughthis platform and thus our work with small and medium size businesses throughout the country.
Fromthefigureabove,67%oftheCompraquíoperators are natural persons, entrepreneurs that see their business being helped with this new tool.

For2019,Compraquíexpectstoenrollsome40,000commercialestablishments,whichcould start accepting payment with cards through mobile card readers (mPOS).
Finally, it is important to consider that the payment alternative presented with this new network allows to complement the means of payment traditionally used in small businesses (cash and checks), enabling in the future that electronic means of payment become the main form of payment in such stores or, at least, their use becomes equivalent to cash. The latter will allow a more agile and secure commercial operation for businesses and cardholders, fostering the disuse of cash and ATMs in a way to contribute to prevention of potential crime cases.
At the end of 2018, we have 304 stores associated with Compraquí that also have CajaVecina; this is equivalent to 1.2% of the CajaVecina network, progressively integrating our services.

BancoEstado awarded the Entrepreneur Award 2018.
The Entrepreneur Award aims to distinguish a group of micro and small entrepreneurs and businesswomen in the country, customers and non-customers, who stand out for their stories of effort, entrepreneurship and overcoming. In 2018 we celebrated the XIV version of the award, carried out in a joint effort of subsidiary Microempresas with the Ministry of Finance, becoming the oldest award of its kind in the country. During these years the award has received more than 730 thousand applications, with 444 award-winning entrepreneurs, in a process that involves different stages.
The Entrepreneur Award has been adapted to changes in entrepreneurship and society. Since 2012 each category has a male and female winner. In addition, since 2013, regional awards have been added, which allow increasing the coverage of the contest at the national level.
Along this journey we have received more than 730 thousand applications and awarded 444 entrepreneurs at national and regional level, in different categories, such as services and commerce, transport, agriculture and innovation. Among the prizes awarded, there are 118 work vehicles and more than $ 325 million pesos in prizes.
Courtesy of an alliance established with CIDEF, in 2018 we awarded a utility vehicle to 8 winners nationwide, $6 million to two winners in the Innovative Entrepreneurship category and $1.5 million to 8 entrepreneurs in our various categories according to thebusinesstype:agriculture, fishingand tourism, commerce and services, transportation and small businesses. At the regional level, meanwhile, there were 30 winners of one million pesos in the micro and small company categories.
All in all, 48 micro and small prominent companies were recognized, out of a total of 24 thousand applications received in 2018.
These entrepreneurs speak of intuition, of the courage to undertake. They invite us to look at our surroundings and look for alternatives in it. They show us the value of reinvention,ofovercomingdifficultiesandobstacles we meet. They teach us to get back on our feet upon failure. All of them aregreatexamplesforChile.

Operational continuity
• At BancoEstado we worry about having a technological service for our clients that is safe, robust and always available to our clients, so we started the implementation of a second data center that will have the latest technology, the highest standards and certificationsatinternationallevel,soafterits deployment, it will improve the continuity of the technological infrastructure that supports our systems and services. Both datacenters will have Constructed Facility TierIIIcertificationthattheUptimeInstitutegrants to ensure that the infrastructure is capabletoprovidefirstqualityserviceswithout interruption in the event of any contingency. Additionally, this implementation willmeanthatthebankwillhavetwofirstlevel self-contained datacenters, which implies that each of them can support the full operational load of our operation. This change also implies the necessary technological renovation and adjustment of infrastructure implementation processes, which should be redundant, as well as the design of technological applications that should operate in this scenario.
• In 2018 we made a number of tests to the bank’s technological contingency plan with the purpose of strengthening said plans and improve the training of teams that must always be prepared to face a real contingency. The result of these tests let to establish room for improvements that may be necessary to implement.
• The work team tested the operational contingency plans the entire year and across the entire branch network, simulating contingency situations and verifying that our staff is properly trained to face actual contingency situations.
Inthiscontext,standsoutthetransactionalloadcarriedoutbychannelssuchasCajaVecina,internet and mobile web that with the BancoEstado app process nearly 120 million transactions per month.

• We improved our internal organization by adding more cybersecurity staffers and strengthening responsibleareastospecificallymanagecybersecurityrisks.
• We have established an internal and client-oriented education plan, whose objective is to disclose new emergent threats and prevent our clients from becoming a victim of these threats.
• Thinking about strengthening the security of the ATM network, the bank is renewing the network operating system and updating versions of the ATMs’ security software.

Procuringgenderbalanceatall layersoftheinstitution,includingtheexecutive,isasubject of great relevance for our bank. In this sense, we have continued to strengthen the program “Mentoring Woman and Leadership”, whose results leverage the increase in female representation in positions of higher responsibility, in addition to contribute to the development of our woman leaders. In the 2018 version, 10 agent women and 2 heads of central areas participated, while the mentoring role was carried out by 12 managers (men and women) thus forming 12 pairs.
Results of this project are lined up with the goal set forth in our People Management Policy of the bank that establishes as our objective that at least 40% of the workers of each estate represent each gender.

Gender Parity Initiative
We were the first bank to sign the “Women’s Empowerment Principles” promoted by UN Women (Women Empowerment
Principles WEPs) in March 2017. With it, we made an alliance to participate as a pioneer entity on the implementation in Chile of the WEP’s Gender Gap Analysis Tool, a tool that allows making a diagnosis of the organization’s standing about the implementation of said principles. The tool was analyzed, completed and handed out to UN Women in the year 2018.
We are currently waiting for the diagnosis report that will allow us to have a complete look at the implementation areas of these principles and also have comparative information from over 170 companies worldwide. In this way, we will also set forth goals and indicators that let us to move forward in gender equality within the organization, a guideline we are committed to and have made progress with concrete proposals and fully aware that changes at the cultural level require systematic work over time.

Structure of the BancoEstado Meetings and Workshops_
To ensure participatory work in the meetings, we applied a methodology based on the followingquestions:
Local Meetings• What are the changes we see in this new
Chile?• How should BancoEstado be in this new
Chile?
Workshops Building BancoEstado• What do we want to maintain/preserve?• What do we not want to do?• What do we want to add/introduce?
Consequently, we are working on the systematization of the results and conclusions from these meetings to outline the 2018-2028 Roadmap that will guide our actions as an answer to the needs of a “new Chile” and what we want to be and do as the country’s public bank.
Among the longings that motivate us from heretothenext10years, isbeingthecompany most loved by people and the beststatebankintheworld;dreamsthat,given its size, we can only reach in a close collaboration with our teams and customers.

In our organization we try to establish and maintain balanced work relationships with workers and work teams, in collaboration with actors and interest groups,
fostering spaces for permanent, close and constructivedialogue,whichfirmlyallowmovingforward towards a better integration of quality of life and working life.
We have maintained a permanent and constructive dialogue with our workers byexecutingtheLaborAgendawiththeBancoEstado Union, where we discuss issues related to bipartite commissions, projects or initiatives of the various areas of the bank with impact on workers, seeking a continuous and fluidcommunication.
The labor agenda organizes its job in commissions, stipulated in the collective agreement, formed by union leaders as well asexecutivesrepresentingtheadministration.Therefore, the challenge is to consolidate the link and permanent dialogue between the union and the administration, as well as to continue with the adequate management of rights and duties that emanate from the Collective Agreement.
As far as our subsidiaries for the period that comprises this memory, we highlight the collective bargaining process of BancoEstado Corredores de Seguros, which successfully completed by signing in November 2018 the Collective Contract, thanks to the unanimous support of workers and union leaders.

Since 2015, this line of work has been consolidated in the Chilean Film Development Program, through the creation of a competitive fund that seeks to stimulate nationalfilmcreation,safeguardtheculturalheritage and preserve the collective memory of the country, through works that value theidentityofthecountryandthefilmicrepresentation of our recent history.
In 2018, the Chilean Film Development Program developed its 6th and 7th calls in the months of March and September, respectively.

9.5.1 Environmental impact_
We seek to contribute to the national g o a l s o n matters of
environment driving funding initiatives that positively impact the environment and society as a whole. With this objective in mind, we position ourselves as an important actor that moves the various sectors of the public and private world to develop projects that are friendly to the environment and contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions out of its funding.
9.5.2 Eco operational efficiency_Huella Chile programDuring 2018 we worked on the installation of capacities in the bank’s internal staff, with the support of the HuellaChile Program of the Ministry of the Environment. This program seeks the generation of knowledge and internal competences in greenhouse gases, climate change and especially in carbon footprint measurement.
This initiative allowed our bank to accurately measure its 2016 carbon footprint, which was verifiedbyanindependentthirdparty.Thankstothatinitiative,weearnedtheQuantificationSeal of the program HuellaChile.
In this way, we contributed to the commitments assumed by the State of Chile in the framework of the Paris Agreement, related to the implementation of a system for the measurement and reporting of greenhouse gases.
Energy managementAs part of the energy management practice completed in 2018, a number of projects have been carried out to reduce the consumption of electric power. One of the most important was the 100% change of the elevators’ technology in our corporate building and also at an adjacent building achieving a 45% reduction in consumption.
Also, we have changed air conditioning units for thelatest technology generation, such as inverter equipment and central air conditioning systems of multi-split type of Variable Coolant Volume (VRV). We settled for this equipment for its reduction in energy consumption and for the lower generation of emissions to the atmosphere, keeping in this manner the comfort of our workers without implying higher operational costs and environmental impacts. Likewise, we maintain monitoring the energy consumption of 48 branchesand30officeswithphotovoltaicpanels.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that courtesy ofourextendedcoverageofourdigitalchannels such as ATMs, web transactions andpointsofsale,trafficloadexceeded252million transactions per month, turning into 45% of the transactions of the national financialsystem,thushelpingtoreducephysical displacements of our customers and favoring a reduction in the carbon footprint.
