SANTIAGO, Chile, Feb. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Banco Santander Chile's (NYSE: BSAC) announced that its subsidiary Santander Consumer Finance will acquire Mundo Crédito in an operation for up to US$ 79 million. The operation is subject to the approval of the National Economic Prosecutor's Office, the due diligence process and other usual conditions precedent.

With the aim of expanding its offer and participation in this segment, Santander Consumer subscribed to the purchase - subject to conditions - of the automotive loan portfolio of Servicios Financieros Mundo Crédito SpA, a company that provides financing for the acquisition of new or used motor vehicles with pledge guarantee. The operation would reach between $50,000 million and $70,000 million, being subject to the approval of the National Economic Prosecutor's Office, the due diligence process and other usual conditions precedent.

According to what was reported in an Material Fact to the Financial Market Commission, once the aforementioned conditions are met, Santander Consumer will acquire automotive loans from Mundo Crédito that meet certain eligibility criteria. The closing of this portfolio purchase will be carried out in two successive stages that are expected to conclude within the first half of the current year.

Cristián Amar, CEO of Santander Consumer, pointed out that “we accompany people in their decisions that allow them to achieve greater well-being and better living conditions. In that sense, for families, purchasing a vehicle is one of the most important purchasing decisions. At Santander Consumer we are very happy with this step, because with this operation we strengthen our offer in this market.” Indeed, thanks to this operation, Santander Consumer consolidates its position as one of the main players in this industry, thus allowing it to reach new customers.
