Ownership

BancoEstado is wholly owned by the Republic of Chile.

BancoEstado is the only public bank in Chile and was created by government decree in 1953. The bank offers financial services to consumers and companies, with an emphasis on national coverage in terms of geography and social sectors. The bank particularly focusses on the unbanked and small and medium enterprises. BancoEstado is the country's largest mortgage lender and largest issuer of debit cards. The bank performs all of the Chilean government's financial activities through a single account managed by the General Treasury of the Republic of Chile.

It is not intended to be exhaustive, but covers selected impacts raised by BankTrack and other civil society partners since 2016. For the full scoring methodology, see here. For more information about BankTrack's evaluation of bank responses to human rights impacts, see the 2021 report "Actions speak louder: assessing bank responses to human rights violations".
