Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” for a more complete discussion of the factors that could affect our future performance and the industries in which we operate. Additionally, new risks and uncertainties can emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all future risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess their potential impact. Accordingly, holders of our common shares should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.
All forward-looking statements included in this Annual Report on Form 20-F are based on information available to us on the date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F.

An investment in our common shares involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 20-F, holders of our common shares should carefully consider the following risk factors before purchasing our common shares. If any of the possible events described below occurs, our businesses, financial condition, results of operations or prospects could be materially and adversely affected. As a result, the market prices of our common shares could decline and holders of our common shares could lose all or part of their investment. The risks and uncertainties below are those known to us and that we currently believe may materially affect us and our common shares. We may face additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or which as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F we might not consider significant, which may also adversely affect our businesses.
Risks Relating to Our Businesses
We are a holding company and all of our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries. Our ability to pay corporate expenses and to pay dividends, if any, to holders of our common shares will depend on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends and make other distributions to us.
As a holding company, all of our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries. Accordingly, our ability to pay corporate expenses and to pay dividends, if any, to holders of our common shares, will depend upon our receipt of dividends and other distributions from our subsidiaries.
There are various regulatory restrictions in Peru and other jurisdictions that may limit our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us, such as their obligations to maintain minimum regulatory capital and minimum liquidity. See “—Public health crises and epidemics, pandemics or outbreaks of highly infectious or contagious diseases could adversely affect our and our subsidiaries’ business, financial condition and results of operations”.
In addition, some of our Peruvian subsidiaries pay dividends to us on the basis of the SBS GAAP financial statements, which differ from IFRS. For example, for the year ended December 31, 2023, Interseguro had a net profit of S/292.1 million under IFRS and of S/315.1 million under SBS GAAP, which resulted in a dividend payment to us of S/150.0 million in 2024. Therefore, there is no assurance that the differences in accounting treatment will not render the opposite result, namely that lower or no dividends would be payable to us by any of our Peruvian subsidiaries under SBS GAAP than what it would appear to be able to pay under IFRS, or that dividends will continue to be payable under SBS GAAP in the future.
Furthermore, our subsidiaries may incur indebtedness or enter into other arrangements containing terms that may restrict or prohibit the payment of dividends, the making of other distributions, or the making of loans to us. We cannot assure holders of our common shares that the agreements governing the future indebtedness of our subsidiaries will permit them to provide us with sufficient dividends, distributions or the making of loans to fund dividend payments.
To the extent our subsidiaries do not have funds available or are otherwise restricted from paying dividends to us, our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders will be adversely affected.
12
As a holding company, our right to receive any distribution of assets of our subsidiaries will be effectively subordinated to the rights of our subsidiaries’ creditors, and holders of our common shares may have limited recourse against our subsidiaries’ assets in case of our liquidation.
As a holding company, our right to receive any distribution of assets of our subsidiaries upon any subsidiary’s liquidation or reorganization or otherwise will be subject to the prior claims of creditors of that subsidiary, except to the extent that any claims by us as a creditor of such subsidiary may be recognized as such. Accordingly, holders of our common shares will have rights that will effectively be subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness of our subsidiaries, and, in the event of any claim against us, our shareholders may have recourse only against our assets, and not those of our subsidiaries, for payments. The only significant assets that we currently hold are our equity interests in our subsidiaries.
Public health crises and epidemics, pandemics or outbreaks of highly infectious or contagious diseases could adversely affect our and our subsidiaries’ business, financial condition and results of operations.
Interbank’s business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of the customers to conduct banking and other financial transactions. The spread of a highly infectious or contagious disease, such as COVID-19 beginning in March 2020, could cause severe disruptions and volatility in the world economy, which could in turn disrupt the business, activities, and operations of the customers, as well as Interbank’s business and operations. In order to contain the spread of COVID-19 in Peru, the Peruvian government announced and implemented several measures such as declaring a national state of emergency and ordering mandatory lockdowns and the closure of Peru’s borders, among others, which disrupted Interbank’s business operations and caused them to modify the business activities, including limiting travel, temporarily closing offices and implementing remote work capabilities.
In addition, changes in existing regulations or implementation of future regulations in response to the spread of an infectious or contagious disease may further restrict their existing operations, limit the expansion of their business and require extensive system and operating changes that may be difficult or costly for them to implement. Furthermore, in the event that new sub-variants of COVID-19 emerge, or an outbreak of another contagious disease, and additional government restrictions in response to such outbreaks could also negatively impact the business and operations of third-party service providers who perform critical services for our business.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to public health measures, the Peruvian government implemented measures to generate monetary and fiscal stimulus and alleviate the financial stress on households and companies, such as loan rescheduling and the provision for partial withdrawals from compensation for service time accounts (“CTS,” for its Spanish acronym), which have impacted Interbank’s interest income and Interbank’s funding base. Similar governmental measures in the future, as a result of new health crises, may impact Interbank’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
To the extent outbreaks of pandemic or contagious diseases adversely affect our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this section.
Our subsidiaries are subject to extensive regulation and supervision, and changes in existing regulations or the implementation of future regulations may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Interbank and Interseguro are subject to extensive regulation and supervision by the SBS. The SBS also oversees all of Interbank’s and Interseguro’s subsidiaries and their operations. Interbank is also subject to regulation and oversight by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, which, together with the SBS, have general administrative responsibilities over banks and other financial institutions, including the authority to set loan loss provisions, limits on interest rates and fees, regulatory capital requirements and other minimum capital adequacy and reserve requirements. In addition, banks are required to provide the SBS, on a periodic basis, with all information necessary to allow for its evaluation of the bank’s financial performance. Similarly, insurance companies are required to periodically provide the SBS, with all information necessary for the SBS to evaluate the company’s management, measure systems, solvency, profitability and liquidity.
Similarly, Inteligo’s subsidiaries are regulated by governmental entities and other financial services regulators in The Bahamas, Panama and Peru. Inteligo Bank is subject to the regulation and supervision of the Central Bank of The Bahamas. Additionally, Inteligo Bank’s asset management activities and securities custody and trading activities are subject to supervision by the Securities Commission of The Bahamas. Inteligo Bank holds licenses from the Securities Commission of The Bahamas for dealing in securities as agent or principal, arranging deals, managing securities and advising on securities. Inteligo Bank is licensed to undertake all securities-related activities ancillary to its banking business. Inteligo Bank and its branch are subject to regulation by the Superintendency of Banks of Panama (Superintendencia de Bancos de Panamá). Inteligo Bank is also subject to regulation by the Securities Commission of Panama (Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores de Panama) since June 18, 2021, when it obtained its
13
investment advisory license. On January 3, 2022, Inteligo Bank began its operations under such license. Inteligo SAB and Interfondos are subject to the regulation and supervision of the SMV in Peru. Also, Interbank and Interseguro are subject to the regulations of the SMV. PMP and Izipay are mainly subject to the regulations of the Central Reserve Bank of Peru. In addition, IFS, Interbank, Interseguro, Inteligo Bank and Inteligo SAB are subject to other regulations, such as the U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), which could increase compliance costs and, in case of non-compliance could result in liability, additional costs or sanctions imposed by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
Changes in the regulation and/or supervision of Interbank, Interseguro, Inteligo and/or Izipay or the implementation of future regulations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations by restricting our existing operations, limiting the expansion of our business and requiring extensive system and operating changes that may be difficult or costly to implement. For example, the SBS and the Central Reserve Bank of Peru regulate, and have in the past changed, capital structure and deposit reserve requirements, interest paid on deposit reserves, the amount of deposit reserves for which no interest is payable, rules regarding provisions for loan losses and legal lending limits applicable to Peruvian commercial banks. Furthermore, Interbank could be required to increase its level of provisions in response to pro-cyclical provisioning requirements or be required to increase capital levels in response to pro-cyclical buffers that could be activated by regulators under certain favorable macroeconomic conditions. As an example, additional changes in the regulation and supervision of our subsidiaries have been imposed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and as a result of social unrest, which Interbank complied with, but we cannot predict whether and to what extent new laws and regulations will be imposed in case of other periods of crisis.
Moreover, changes in consumer protection regulation may also affect our business. In March 2021, the Peruvian Congress approved Law No. 31143 under which (i) the Central Reserve Bank of Peru will semi-annually establish caps on interest rates (including default interest rates) that banks can charge to consumers and small businesses, and (ii) in cases of default, the debtor shall only pay interest which may not be capitalized and may not be charged with commissions or additional expenses. Since its approval, such new regulation limiting the interest that can be charged to clients of banking entities, such as Interbank, has negatively impacted its financial results. In addition, Interbank could be subject to limits on fees or commissions charged to clients. If legislation or governmental or regulatory action is enacted limiting the amount of ATM fees or surcharges that Interbank may receive or on its ability to charge overdraft or other fees, it could adversely impact our financial results. Furthermore, during 2022, Legislative Decree No. 1531 amended the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law (Ley General del Sistema Financiero y del Sistema de Seguros y Orgánica de la Superintendencia de Banca y Seguros), approved by Law No. 26702 (as amended, the “Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law”) to more closely align the Peruvian regulatory framework and its regulations applicable to the companies of the financial system to the Basel Committee’s 2011 agreement regarding the overall design of the capital and liquidity reform package (now referred to as “Basel III”), including changes related to the composition of the effective equity (which changes to effective equity came into effect as of January 1, 2023). Interbank has already implemented most of these requirements, with no adverse effect to its financial condition or operations, but as it continues to implement such additional requirements imposed by Legislative Decree No. 1531 and the other resolutions aimed at adapting the regulatory framework of the financial system more generally to the Basel III principles, we cannot guarantee that no such effects will impact its financial condition or results of operations.
Since 1998, Interseguro has been subjected to strict local regulations that required significant changes in reserve requirements. For example, in March 2018, changes by the SBS to mortality tables used for calculating reserves for new annuities resulted in a higher reserve requirement, which in turn could adversely affect Interseguro’s results of operations or could result in lowered implied interest rates on Interseguro’s annuities. For further information, see Note 3.4(d.2) to our audited annual consolidated financial statements. New legislation or regulations applicable to the insurance industry may adversely affect Interseguro’s ability to underwrite and price risks accurately as well as affect its revenues and net income. For example, whereas retirees formerly had to choose between remaining with their pension fund or choosing an annuity, since 2016 a law has allowed retirees to withdraw 95.5% of their capital accumulated in cash upon retirement, which has resulted in a significant reduction of annuities sold by Peruvian insurance companies, including Interseguro. In addition, considering that the SBS regulates the types of and limits on eligible investments that insurance companies, such as Interseguro, are allowed to make, in case the SBS enacts new regulations that further restricts such eligible investments, Interseguro could be compelled to liquidate current investments on less favorable terms than if they were held to maturity and restrict Interseguro from making investments that its management deems to be beneficial. Likewise, at the end of 2022, in order to adjust the fair value of real estate investments, the SBS established new requirements for valuation specialists or entities requiring capacitation in specific valuation matters that are not lectured in Peru, which created hurdles to such valuations and increased operating costs. Any failure to comply with these new requirements may increase costs and result in potential sanctions by the SBS. Moreover, in the past and as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Peruvian government permitted companies to suspend employee contracts without pay in certain cases until the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused these companies to stop making the corresponding monthly contribution to the pension funds of their worker, affecting the private pension system. In addition, the Peruvian government eased pension fund regulations, including measures permitting extraordinary withdrawals of funds from the private pension system, which in turn reduced pension funds collected by Interseguro. New legislation or regulations may impact Interseguro’s ability to economically assess risk in a timely manner, which in turn may adversely affect Interseguro’s ability to underwrite and price risks accurately and thus affect our business profitability.

The Bahamas has repealed and replaced the Commercial Entities Economic Substance Requirements Act, 2018 with the Commercial Entities (Substance Requirements) Act, 2023 which requires substantial economic presence in The Bahamas for certain Bahamas incorporated or registered entities that conduct relevant activities. A relevant activity includes the business of banking as conducted by Inteligo Bank. Inteligo Bank has made the appropriate registration and it is exempt from the main substance requirements of the Commercial Entities (Substance Requirements) Act, 2023 due to its asserted tax residency outside of The Bahamas. If The Bahamas in the future changes such regulation such that Inteligo Bank is no longer considered to be exempt from the substance requirements, it would have to enhance its economic and business presence in The Bahamas in order to comply with the Commercial Entities (Substance Requirements) Act, 2023, which increased presence may result in increased costs—financial, compliance or otherwise, which could impact Inteligo Bank’s profitability and our results of operations.
We cannot predict whether and to what extent new laws and regulations, or changes to existing laws and regulations, affecting our subsidiaries’ business will be adopted in the future, the timing of any such adoption and what effect such events would have on our financial condition and results of operations.
Enhanced ESG and climate change disclosure may impose additional costs on us or our subsidiaries.
In recent years, various guidelines and regulations have been issued recommending or requiring companies to adopt policies and procedures with the purpose of enhancing the approach to environmental, governance and social (ESG) matters. In March 2024, the SEC adopted rules aimed at enhancing and standardizing climate-related disclosures. The rules require registrants to include certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports, including data regarding greenhouse gas emissions and information regarding climate-related risks and opportunities and related financial impacts, governance and strategy. Several lawsuits have been filed against such rules and, unless they prevail, we will be subject to certain of these requirements commencing with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2025. On April 4, 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed the rules, pending judicial review. We cannot rule out that the adoption of new guidelines and regulations on ESG matters could limit our business or the businesses of our subsidiaries, restrict our ability or the ability of our subsidiaries to recruit new customers, increase compliance requirements or result in higher operating or funding costs, among other effects in the future that we cannot predict now, given the still-developing and evolving regulatory environment related to ESG matters.
The operations of our subsidiaries require the maintenance of banking, insurance and other licenses and any non-compliance with applicable license and operating obligations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
All banks and insurance companies established in Peru require certain authorizations issued by the SBS in order to operate in Peru. In addition, all brokerage firms operating in Peru require certain authorizations issued by the SMV in order to operate in Peru. Service providers (such as Izipay), collecting agents or processing agents in the payment industry are not required to obtain prior licenses. However, recent regulations imposed certain obligations to such entities (including anti-money laundering (“AML”) obligations) and required that they register with the Central Reserve Bank of Peru. In The Bahamas and Panama, all banks require a license to operate. Governmental authorities, such as the SBS or the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, the Central Bank of The Bahamas, or the Superintendency of Banks of Panama, have general administrative responsibilities over banks and other financial institutions, including authority to set loan loss provisions, limits on fees, regulatory capital requirements and other minimum capital adequacy and reserve requirements. In addition, banks are generally required to provide the relevant banking supervisory agency, on a periodic basis, with all information that is necessary to allow for its evaluation of a bank’s financial performance. Insurance companies are regulated and supervised by the SBS which has the ability, among other things, to set reserve requirements for insurance companies. Similarly, the SMV and the Securities Commission of The Bahamas have general administrative responsibilities over brokerage firms, including the authority to set minimum capital requirements.
Our subsidiaries currently have the required licenses or applicable registrations in order to conduct their operations in their corresponding jurisdictions for all of their operations. Although we believe our subsidiaries are currently in compliance with their respective existing material license and reporting obligations, there is no assurance that our subsidiaries will be able to maintain the necessary licenses in the future. We can offer no assurance that future changes to existing laws and regulations, or stricter interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and regulations, will not impair our ability to comply with such laws and regulations and thus with the terms of our licenses.
The loss of a license, a breach of the terms of a license by any of our subsidiaries or the failure to obtain any further required licenses in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If any of our subsidiaries loses its licenses or is required to seek additional licenses, then such subsidiary will be unable to perform its operations as it is currently authorized and as it is currently doing.
15
Under certain circumstances, the SBS, the SMV, the Superintendency of Banks of Panama or the Central Bank of The Bahamas, as applicable, may intervene in our subsidiaries’ operations in order to prevent, control and reduce the effects of a failure of our operations.
Under the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law and the regulations thereunder, the SBS may intervene in Interbank’s and Interseguro’s operations upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
| • | Interbank or Interseguro suspends payment of its obligations or is unable to pay its obligations as they come due; |
| • | Interbank or Interseguro breaches any of their respective commitments to the SBS under a surveillance regime (régimen de vigilancia) imposed by the SBS; |
| • | Interbank’s regulatory capital is less than 50% of the minimum regulatory capital required under the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law; |
| • | Interbank or Interseguro experiences a deficit or reduction of more than 50% of its regulatory capital during the preceding 12-month period; or |
| • | Interseguro experiences a deficit or reduction of the regulatory capital of more than 50% of its solvency equity. |
In the event of an intervention, the SBS has the power to institute measures, such as limiting the decisions that could be taken at a shareholders’ meeting, suspending our normal activities and segregating certain of Interbank’s or Interseguro’s assets and liabilities for transfer to third parties, among others. Furthermore, the SBS has the power under the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law to declare the wind-up or liquidation of any bank or insurance company if an intervention extends for longer than 45 days, which period may be extended one time for another 45 days at the sole discretion of the SBS, and/or upon the occurrence of a wind-up or liquidation pursuant to the Peruvian General Corporations Law (Ley General de Sociedades). For further detail, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Regulation and Supervision—The Peruvian Financial and Insurance Systems — Intervention by the SBS and Liquidation”.
Under Peruvian capital markets laws and the regulations thereunder, the SMV may revoke the license of Inteligo SAB and/or Interfondos, among others, upon the occurrence of (i) significant irregularities that put the companies at risk to carry out their operations as permitted by law or (ii) significant violations of the law, statutes and regulations promulgated by the SMV.
Under Bahamian banking regulations, the Central Bank of The Bahamas may intervene in Inteligo Bank’s operations upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
| • | Inteligo Bank carries on its business in a manner detrimental to the public interest or the interests of its depositors or other creditors; or |
| • | Inteligo Bank contravenes the provisions of Bahamian banking law or any other law, order or regulation made thereunder, or any term or condition subject to which its license was issued, either in The Bahamas or elsewhere. |
In addition, under Bahamian securities laws and regulations, the Securities Commission of the Bahamas may revoke Inteligo Bank’s registration and license to deal in securities, arrange deals, manage securities and/or advise on securities for noncompliance with laws and regulations.
Under Law Decree 9 of 1998, as amended, the Superintendency of Banks of Panama may seize administrative and operating control of the branch of Inteligo Bank in Panama, based on any of the following grounds:
| • | upon a reasoned request of Inteligo Bank itself; |
| • | if Inteligo Bank cannot continue operations without endangering the interests of the depositors; |
16
| • | as a consequence of the evaluation of the report submitted by an appointed advisor; |
| • | non-compliance with the corrective measures ordered by the Superintendency of Banks of Panama; |
| • | if Inteligo Bank carries out its operations in an illegal, negligent or fraudulent manner; |
| • | if Inteligo Bank has suspended payment on its obligations; or |
| • | if the Superintendency of Banks of Panama confirms that the capital adequacy, solvency or liquidity of Inteligo Bank has deteriorated so as to require action by the Superintendency of Banks of Panama. |
The adoption of new international banking and insurance guidelines may cause our subsidiaries to require additional capital and could cause their cost of funds to increase, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
In December 2009, the Basel Committee announced its intention to issue a new framework related to the regulation, supervision and risk management of the banking industry. This was followed by the Basel III principles, which revises and strengthens the three pillars established by Basel II.
Starting in 2011, the SBS issued different regulations to schedule additional capital requirements to be implemented in Peru, which, although not completely consistent with Basel III, included requirements to cover concentration, interest rate and systemic risk, as well as certain pro-cyclical capital requirements. In March 2022, the Peruvian government issued Legislative Decree 1531, which revised the regulatory capital definition rules in the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law. This legislative decree became effective on January 1, 2023, aiming at a better alignment with the standards established by Basel III. Consistent with certain aspects of Basel III, the SBS issued in 2022, SBS Resolution No. 03953-2022 and SBS Resolution No. 03954-2022 in order to update the methodologies for calculating the individual and sector concentration risk buffers (including regional and economic sector concentration) eliminating the capital buffer requirement for risk appetite and maintaining the requirement for measuring the interest rate risk of the banking book. Legislative Decree No. 1531 and SBS Resolution No. 03954-2022 aligned the capital conservation buffer in the Peruvian regulation, to the Basel III principles.
In February 2016, the SBS issued SBS Resolution No. 975-2016 (as amended from time to time), which aimed to improve the quality of the total regulatory capital (patrimonio efectivo) and align Peruvian regulations towards Basel III. This resolution changed the conditions that subordinated debt must meet in order to be considered in the calculation of additional capital and the calculation methodology applicable to risk-weighted assets. In December 2022, as part of the implementation of the Basel III standards, the SBS issued SBS Resolution No. 03950-2022, which replaced the regulations applicable to subordinated debt related to its computation at the different levels and sublevels of the regulatory capital. This resolution became effective on January 1, 2023 and is applicable to subordinated debt incurred or created from the date of its effectiveness. However, as established in this new regulation, subordinated debt incurred or created prior to its effectiveness will still be considered in the calculation of regulatory capital. Although the main changes became effective on January 1, 2023, other relevant regulation were also passed by the SBS by end of 2022 to implement the aforementioned law and provided certain adequacy periods until 2026. We cannot assure whether the implementation and further supervision of the above-mentioned new regulations may result in increased costs, financial, compliance or otherwise, which could impact our profitability and our results of operations. For further details, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Regulation and Supervision—The Peruvian Financial and Insurance Systems”. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, Interbank is fully compliant with applicable capital regulatory requirements. While Interbank expects to continue to be in compliance with current and upcoming capital requirements, Interbank’s assumptions with respect to compliance may turn out to be incorrect, and, consequently, have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.
With respect to Interseguro, Solvency II, a new regulatory framework for the European insurance industry implemented in early 2016, is under consideration by international regulatory bodies, which could result in the SBS raising solvency ratio requirements for insurance companies in Peru in the future.
With respect to Inteligo Bank, The Central Bank of The Bahamas has adopted a Basel Implementation Program and has effectively implemented Pillar I and Pillar II of the Basel II framework. The Pillar I framework focuses on the capital adequacy ratio requirements and Pillar II focuses on the internal capital adequacy assessment processes (“ICAAP”) (the guidelines in relation to the ICAAP were released in August 2016). The Central Bank of The Bahamas published its Capital Adequacy Guidelines for the Management of Capital and the Calculation of Capital Adequacy on August 24, 2022, and The Bahamas Capital Regulations 2022 came into effect on July 15, 2022. The Bahamas capital regulations include changes to the methodology for the calculation of risk-
17
weighted assets and Tier 1 capital that could adversely impact Inteligo Bank’s capital adequacy ratio. The regulations and capital adequacy guidelines simplify the Bahamian Basel III framework while remaining consistent with the proportionality principles set out by the Basel Committee. The new regulations set a new capital ratio limit and introduced changes to the credit and operational risk equivalent assets and deductions of high-risk assets from the capital base. Inteligo Bank’s capital ratio as of December 31, 2023, under the new regulations, was 17.4%, while it would amount to 22.8% under the previous regulations. In any case, Inteligo Bank’s capital ratio remains well above the regulatory limit of 12%. Additional changes to this framework could require Inteligo Bank to make revisions to its capital structure and investment which could have an adverse effect on the profitability of Inteligo Bank.
Furthermore, following completion of the capital framework, in 2023, the Central Bank of The Bahamas informed through its quarterly letter that it is in the process of amending the regulations and guidelines to its liquidity framework. The latest update on the Basel III implementation was given in The Central Bank of The Bahamas’ 2022 third quarter report of the Bank Supervision Department, which stated that adoption and implementation of the Basel principles continued to progress along with related amendments to other legislation and guidelines that would be impacted by the new capital regulations. Moreover, in 2022, new credit risk guidelines and guidelines for internal auditors and audit committees were published by the Central Bank of The Bahamas. While as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, we believe such guidelines do not materially impact Inteligo Bank’s operations, we cannot make any assurances that the Central Bank of The Bahamas or other government authorities will not make further adjustments to applicable banking regulations which could materially and adversely affect Inteligo Bank’s financial condition and results of operations.
We cannot predict whether and to what extent new guidelines, laws and regulations, or changes to existing guidelines, laws and regulations, affecting our subsidiaries’ business will be adopted in the future, the timing of any such adoption and what effect such events would have on our financial condition or results of operations.
Our controlling shareholder, Intercorp Peru, is subject to capital requirements imposed by the SBS, and Intercorp Peru’s failure to comply with these requirements could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The SBS has established minimum capital requirements for financial services holding companies on a fully consolidated basis, which the SBS evaluates on an annual basis. As a result of its direct and indirect equity interest in Interbank and Interseguro, our controlling shareholder, Intercorp Peru, is subject to these minimum capital requirements. Intercorp Peru owns other businesses in addition to ours, and financial information relating to both our business and those other businesses is used to determine compliance with the minimum capital requirements.
According to Peruvian regulations, the subsidiaries directly and indirectly owned by Intercorp Peru qualify as a mixed conglomerate in which three different groups are identified: (i) consolidated group of the financial system; (ii) consolidated group of the insurance system; and (iii) financial group. Pursuant to Peruvian regulations, Intercorp Peru must maintain a higher regulatory capital requirement than the regulatory capital requirements for each of such groups.
If Intercorp Peru fails to comply with these requirements, the SBS may request Intercorp Peru to take certain corrective actions to ensure compliance. If Intercorp Peru fails to take such actions, the SBS could suspend or revoke Interbank’s and Interseguro’s licenses to operate in Peru, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. For further details, see “—The operations of our subsidiaries require the maintenance of banking, insurance and other licenses and any non-compliance with applicable license and operating obligations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.”
Our subsidiaries face intense competition from other banking, insurance and financial institutions, and from other players including providers of emerging financial technologies and failure to compete successfully could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The banking market in Peru is highly competitive. Interbank has experienced strong competition from local and foreign banks and other financial entities, including new entrants attracted by Peru’s low banking penetration and financial inclusion, as well as from department stores that offer credit cards, from emerging financial technology companies that offer digital banking and other services both on a regulated and unregulated basis, and from the local and international capital markets that lend to commercial customers. Competition may reduce the average interest rates that Interbank can charge its customers, increase the average rates Interbank must pay on its deposits, and may negatively affect its loan growth and place pressure on margins. Some of Interbank’s competitors may have access to greater resources and be more successful in the development of products and services that compete directly with Interbank’s products and services. If Interbank’s competitors are successful in developing products and services that are more effective or less expensive than the products and services offered by it, Interbank may be unable to compete successfully. Even if Interbank’s products and services prove to be more effective than those developed by other competitors, such other competitors
18
may be more successful in marketing their products and services because of their greater financial resources or marketing strategies, among other factors. Interbank may not be able to grow or maintain its market share if it is not able to match its competitors’ pricing or keep pace with their development of new products, services and technological innovation and developments, and the integration of these into Interbank’s operations. Any adverse impact on Interbank resulting from increased competition could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.
The Peruvian insurance market, particularly the annuity and life insurance sectors, is also highly competitive. Interseguro’s principal competitors are large insurance companies that may have greater resources and offer a wider range of products. These insurance companies may have better access to independent brokers who sell insurance to customers. In addition, Interseguro may also face competition from private pension funds (“AFPs”), which could in the future be allowed to offer annuities. Moreover, under the private pension system, upon retirement, retirees have the option of choosing to remain with their pension fund, choose an annuity or, since 2016, withdraw 95.5% of their capital accumulated in cash, which potentially reduces demand for Interseguro’s annuities. Any adverse impact on Interseguro resulting from increased competition, as well as a reform of the private pension system, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Similarly, if Inteligo Bank’s competitors are successful in developing products and services that are more effective or less expensive than the products and services offered by Inteligo Bank, it may be unable to compete successfully. Even if Inteligo Bank’s products and services prove to be more effective than those developed by other competitors, such other competitors may be more successful in marketing their products and services because of their greater financial resources or marketing strategies, and other factors. Competitors may also dedicate greater resources to, and be more successful in, the development of products and services that may compete directly with Inteligo Bank’s products and services. Inteligo Bank competes in a global market for wealth management services, including wealth management divisions of global banks. Such competition would adversely affect the acceptance of Inteligo Bank’s products and/or lead to adverse changes in the investing habits of Inteligo Bank’s customer base. Inteligo Bank may not be able to grow or maintain its market share if it is not able to keep pace with its competitors’ development of new products and services. Any adverse impact on Inteligo Bank resulting from increased competition could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Likewise, if Izipay’s competitors are successful in developing market share growth strategies, reduce their customer fees, or gain more customers , then Izipay could be unable to compete successfully and its net income could be threatened. Moreover, if Izipay’s competitors develop a low-cost POS technology or new technologies and gain efficiency, it could negatively affect Izipay’s operating results.
The failure of our subsidiaries to effectively anticipate or adapt to emerging technologies or changes in customer behavior could have a material adverse effect on our financial conditions and results of operations.
The failure of our subsidiaries to effectively anticipate or adapt to emerging technologies or changes in customer behavior, including among younger customers, could delay or prevent our access to new digital-based markets. Furthermore, the widespread adoption of new technologies, including payment systems, could require substantial expenditures to modify or adapt our existing products and services as we continue to grow our digital capabilities. As a result, our subsidiaries’ customers may choose to conduct business or offer products on alternative or emerging platforms. Such new technologies could negatively impact our investments in infrastructure, equipment and personnel, or if our subsidiaries do not properly anticipate trends, render our existing investments in digital platforms moot. If our subsidiaries fail to adapt quickly, or at all, to changes in technologies or changes in customer behavior, it may have an adverse impact on our subsidiaries resulting from increased competition, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The banking and insurance markets are exposed to macroeconomic shocks that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Interbank’s business is particularly sensitive to economic and market conditions that affect Interbank’s customers. Although there is limited basis on which to evaluate how Interbank’s business and earnings will perform in the event of an economic crisis, such as a recession or a significant devaluation of the sol, and Interbank’s historical loan loss experience may not be indicative of the performance of Interbank’s loan portfolio in the future, periods of economic contraction could adversely affect Interbank’s customers by limiting their access to jobs. As a result, Interbank’s loan portfolio may become increasingly vulnerable to macroeconomic shocks that could negatively impact the household income of Interbank’s customers and result in increased loan losses which, in turn, could result in higher delinquencies and reduce the number of borrowers eligible for Interbank’s loans. An increase in delinquencies, for instance, could result in a deterioration of Interbank’s risk profile, which could adversely affect Interbank’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Any increase in the number of delinquencies or defaults would result in higher levels of nonperforming assets and provisions for loan losses, which could adversely affect Interbank’s results of
19
operations and financial condition. In particular, the deterioration of the macroeconomic conditions in Peru in 2023, particularly in the second half of the year, has led to higher provision requirements as well as lower provision recoveries, an increase in non-performing loans and a slowdown in the origination of new loans due to more stringent lending requirements that Interbank has put in place. Interbank’s loan provisions have also been impacted amidst higher risk in consumer loans due to the social protests and adverse climate events that took place in Peru at the beginning of 2023. Such an increase in Interbank’s provision expenses, particularly in Interbank’s retail sector, has had a negative impact on Interbank’s cost of risk and profitability, a trend that we expect to continue and accentuate in accordance with Peru’s macroeconomic conditions.
In addition, Interbank’s commercial clients could be negatively affected by global and local macroeconomic trends. As a result, our provisions for loan losses, in particular related to credit cards and/or loans granted to certain sectors of the Peruvian economy, have significantly increased during slowdowns of the Peruvian economy. Additionally, in part due to the de-dollarization policy sponsored by the Peruvian government there is a mismatch between our dollar denominated deposits and sol denominated loans. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Depreciation and Appreciation of the sol”.
In the event of a macroeconomic shock, the value of Interseguro’s investments may also suffer losses, including in its investment property. In addition, the amount of savings available to potential annuity holders may be negatively impacted by unemployment or a decline in wages. A macroeconomic shock may also negatively impact wealth generation in Peru and, in turn, impact the demand for our wealth management services.
We could sustain losses if Interbank’s asset quality declines.
Our earnings are significantly affected by Interbank’s ability to properly originate, underwrite and service loans. We could sustain losses if Interbank incorrectly assesses the creditworthiness of its borrowers or fails to detect or respond to deterioration in asset quality in a timely manner. Problems with asset quality could cause our net interest and similar income to decrease and our provisions for loan losses to increase, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Reduced diversification in Interbank’s loan portfolio could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
While loan portfolio risk associated with lending to certain economic sectors or clients in certain market segments can be mitigated through adequate diversification policies, Interbank’s pursuit of opportunities in which it can charge higher interest rates may reduce diversification of the loan portfolio and expose Interbank to greater credit risk. Reduced diversification could expose Interbank to greater risks in the event of a decline in asset quality. In addition, given the relatively small size of the Peruvian economy, Interbank’s lending diversification is by necessity lower than that of banks with operations in larger economies. Moreover, certain concentrations of borrowers’ commercial sectors may be unavoidable in Peru—principally the natural resources, fishing, agriculture and mining sectors—and deteriorations in such sectors could have a material adverse effect on Interbank’s deposits, loan performance and other businesses.
Furthermore, as of December 31, 2022 and 2023, retail banking loans accounted for approximately 53.6% and 56.0% of Interbank’s loan portfolio, respectively. Higher than average exposure to retail banking could be accompanied by greater credit risk due to higher risk profiles compared, particularly, to loans to large corporate customers. Given the recent growth of Interbank’s loan portfolio, historical loss experience may not be indicative of future doubtful loan experience. If there are outbreaks of pandemics or contagious diseases in the future, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, Interbank’s retail and commercial clients may be impacted and our risk profile may deteriorate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Interbank’s provisions for loan losses may not be adequate to cover the future losses to its loan portfolio or other assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Interbank records allowances for impairment losses on loans and other assets. The amount of allowances recorded is based on Interbank’s current assessment of and expectations concerning various factors affecting the quality of its loan portfolio. These factors include, among other things, Interbank’s borrowers’ financial condition, repayment abilities and repayment intentions, the realizable value of any collateral, the prospects for support from any guarantor, Peru’s economy, government macroeconomic policies, interest rates and the legal and regulatory environment. Many of these factors are beyond Interbank’s control. In addition, as these factors evolve, the models Interbank uses to determine the appropriate level of allowance for impairment losses on loans and other assets may require recalibration, which can lead to increased allowances.
Additionally, as consequence of factors such as the political, economic and social uncertainties in Peru during 2022 and 2021, as well as the “El Niño” phenomenon during 2023, we have had to increase our monitoring of the performance results of our
20
retail and commercial clients and make subsequent adjustments of expected loss to our model, which in turn creates a certain level of uncertainty in the estimation of expected losses on loans. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Selected Statistical Information—Classification of Our Loan Portfolio” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Operating Results—Impairment Loss on Loans, Net of Recoveries.”
Interbank may be unable to realize the collateral or guarantees securing its loans to cover the outstanding principal and interest balance of those loans, which may adversely affect its results of operations and financial condition.
Interbank grants loans that are secured by collateral, including real estate and other assets that are generally located in Peru. The value of collateral may significantly fluctuate or decline due to factors beyond our control, including, for example, economic and political conditions in Peru. An economic slowdown may lead to a downturn in the Peruvian real estate market, which may, in turn, result in declines in the value of real estate securing loans to levels below the principal balances of those loans. Any decline in the value of the collateral securing loans may result in reduced recoveries from collateral realization and have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
Interbank may also not have recent information on the value of collateral, which may result in an inaccurate assessment for impairment losses of its loans, which may materially and adversely affect its results of operations and financial conditions.
Interbank also grants loans on the basis of guarantees from relatives, affiliates or associated persons of borrowers. To the extent that guarantors encounter financial difficulties due to economic conditions, personal or business circumstances, or otherwise, Interbank’s ability to enforce such guarantees may be impaired.
In addition, Interbank may face difficulties in enforcing its rights as secured creditors against borrowers, collateral or guarantees. In particular, timing delays and procedural problems in realizing against collateral, as well as insolvency laws or judicial interpretations of the law that may be protective of debtors, may make it difficult to foreclose on collateral, realize against guarantees or enforce judgments in our favor, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Our financial results may be negatively affected by changes to IFRS accounting standards.
We report our results and financial position in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. Changes to IFRS thereof may cause our future reported results and financial position to differ from current expectations, or historical results to differ from those previously reported due to the adoption of new accounting standards on a retrospective basis. We monitor potential accounting changes and, when possible, we determine their potential impact and disclose significant future changes in our financial statements that we expect because of those changes. As of December 31, 2023, the new and amended standards and interpretations that have been issued, but not yet effective, are not expected to have potential impact on our consolidated financial statements—see Note 3.5 to our consolidated financial statements.
Our financial results may be negatively affected by investment losses.
The investment activities of our subsidiaries are subject to factors beyond their control, and losses from their exposures could result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
As part of its treasury operations, Interbank trades various financial instruments and other assets, including debt, equity, fixed income, currency and related derivatives, as both agent and principal, and derives a proportion of its non-financial income from trading profits. Interbank has established position limits for sol and foreign currency-denominated securities in accordance with its overall risk management policy and with the SBS requirements. However, Interbank is exposed to numerous factors that are beyond its control, including overall market trading activity, interest rate levels, the credit risk of its counterparties and general market volatility. For example, in 2020 and in particular in March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic increased the volatility of our investment portfolio, which was also increased in 2022 and 2023 due to global factors such as the Ukraine-Russia and the Israel-Hamas conflicts and the interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve of the United States. In addition, a significant part of Interbank’s trading is related to customer transactions, and Interbank could be exposed to a number of risks related to the movement of market prices in the underlying instruments, including the risk of unfavorable market price movements relative to its long or short positions, a decline in the market liquidity of the related instruments, volatility in market prices, interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates relating to these positions, and the risk that the instruments with which Interbank chooses to hedge certain positions do not track the fair value of those positions. If Interbank incurs any further losses from these exposures, it could reduce Interbank’s trading profits or cause it to suffer losses from trading activities, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
21
Inteligo Bank is exposed to similar investment and trading risks as Interbank.
Interseguro is exposed to the risk of a decrease in the value of its investments due to volatility in market conditions, real estate prices, equity values and interest rates, among other factors, many of which are beyond Interseguro’s control. In addition, as a holder of a large portfolio of debt investments and fixed income securities, Interseguro is exposed to the risk that the issuers of its fixed income securities may default.
Furthermore, in all of our segments, our investments may be subject to impairment, due to mark-to-market which could cause volatility in our financial condition and results of operations.
Interest rate changes could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Interbank’s and Inteligo’s financial condition and results of operations depend to a large extent on their financial margin, which in turn depends on their ability to charge interest on interest-earning assets, such as loans to customers, that is higher than the interest they pay on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits. Changes in interest rates, could influence not only the interest we receive on loans and securities and the amount of interest we pay on deposits and borrowings, but such changes could also adversely affect our ability to originate loans and obtain deposits. We cannot control or predict with certainty changes in interest rates since market interest rates are sensitive to many factors beyond our control, including the interest rate policies of the Central Reserve Bank of Peru and the U.S. Federal Reserve. In the past year, inflation rates throughout the world have significantly increased to levels not seen in the last two decades. In response to concerns about inflation, the United States Federal Reserve has raised, and may again rise, interest rates. Although as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, during 2020, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru took several measures, such as reducing the reference interest rate by 200 basis points from 2.25% to 0.25%, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru began to increase rates in 2021 from 0.25% to 7.50% in December 2022. Since then, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru has decreased the reference interest rate to 7.00%, 6.75% and 6.25% as of November 30, 2023, December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2024, respectively. If Interbank or Inteligo are unable to implement commensurate and timely increases in interest rates on loans they originate, their margins would decline.
Interbank’s primary sources of funds are retail deposits with no specific or contractual maturity, and a substantial portion of the loans it originates have a longer term. The difference in maturities between deposits and loans could magnify the effect of any interest rate mismatch, as well as pose a liquidity risk if Interbank were not able to obtain funding as its liabilities mature. This, in turn, may lead to a reduction in Interbank’s net interest margin, which could have a significant adverse effect on its results. Furthermore, if interest rates were to increase, this could reduce the demand for credit and Interbank’s ability to generate credit for their clients, particularly retail clients, as well as contribute to an increase in the default rate.
In connection with the phase-out of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as a reference rate, in June 2023, the United States Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, chose the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), and specifically Term SOFR, as the recommended risk-free reference rate for the United States (calculated based on repurchase agreements backed by treasury securities). Prior to the discontinuation of LIBOR, our subsidiaries amended substantially all of their LIBOR-based financing arrangements to transition them to successor rates, primarily Term SOFR. We cannot predict the extent to which Term SOFR will gain widespread acceptance as a replacement for LIBOR, the consequences of the replacement of LIBOR on financial markets generally or the businesses or profitability of our subsidiaries, their financial condition or results of operations specifically. Finally, as a result of such transition, our subsidiaries may be subject to disputes (including with their customers) related thereto, which could have an adverse effect on their results of operations.
Interseguro faces interest rate risk as a result of the potential variation in interest rates when it reinvests debt instruments to cover its obligations. Interseguro may reinvest when the term of its investments differs from that of its obligations. Interseguro tries to match the cash flows of its obligations with the maturities of its portfolio, but the shortage of instruments with the appropriate maturity profile may result in mismatches with its obligations and, as a result, expose it to interest rate risk.
As a result of the above, the evolution of interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
22
Interseguro is exposed to the impact of changes in interest rates on other comprehensive income.
Interseguro estimates its technical reserves under IFRS on the basis of mortality data and discount rates, which are based on a risk-free rate (i.e. interest rates), and the market volatility associated with them. See Note 3.4(d) to our audited annual consolidated financial statements. Such volatility in interest rates is reflected in Interseguro’s balance sheet, under other comprehensive income and, depending on the market situation, could have a material adverse effect on our balance sheet. See Note 29.5(a.1) to our audited annual consolidated financial statements.
Actual mortality and morbidity rates and other factors may differ from those assumed in the calculation of technical reserves and may have a material adverse effect on Interseguro’s financial condition and results of operations.
Actual mortality and morbidity rates may differ from those assumed in the initial calculation of annuity reserves at the time of the issuance of the policy and their periodic adjustments. If Interseguro’s assumptions differ materially from actual mortality and morbidity rates, Interseguro could be required to make payments under its annuities for a longer period of time than originally estimated, and existing reserves could fall short of actual payments. Accordingly, future changes in mortality and morbidity rates could have a material adverse effect on Interseguro`s financial condition and results of operations.
Interbank may not be able to obtain the funding required to support growth and implement its strategy.
Interbank’s strategy to grow its loan portfolio will require it to continue to have an active funding strategy. Interbank’s access to funding will depend on many factors, including factors beyond our control, such as public health crises and epidemics, pandemics or outbreaks of highly infectious or contagious diseases, any credit crunch or other conditions in global capital markets and investors’ perceptions of the risks of investing in Peru and emerging markets generally. The 2008 and 2009 global financial and economic crisis, the debt crisis in Europe and general market volatility, for example, had a negative impact on the liquidity of global financial markets. Similarly, the COVID-19 pandemic and other global factors such as the Ukraine-Russia and the Israel-Hamas conflicts and the interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve of the United States have caused significant disruption and volatility in the financial markets globally, causing equity levels to fluctuate sharply, which may continue to worsen in the future. In the case of similar events, any equity or debt financing, if available at all, may be on terms that are not favorable to Interbank. If access to funding is limited, Interbank may not be able to implement its strategy, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
A reduction in our subsidiaries’ credit ratings could increase their cost of borrowing funds and make their ability to raise new funds and renew maturing debt more difficult.
Our subsidiaries’ credit ratings are an important component of their respective liquidity profile. Among other factors, Interbank’s credit ratings are based on its financial strength, the credit quality and concentrations in its loan portfolio, the level and volatility of its earnings, its capital adequacy, the quality of management, the liquidity of its statement of financial position, the availability of a significant base of core retail and commercial deposits and its ability to access a broad array of funding sources. In addition, our subsidiaries’ lenders may be sensitive to the risk of a ratings downgrade, which could increase the cost of refinancing their existing obligations, raising funds in the capital markets and borrowing funds from private lenders, and could in turn have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Although our subsidiaries’ credit ratings have remained relatively stable over time, our creditors may be sensitive to changes in our credit ratings, and/or outlook. The risk of a future ratings downgrade could increase the cost of refinancing our existing obligations, raising funds in the capital markets and borrowing funds from private lenders, and could in turn have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Interseguro’s failure to underwrite and price insurance premiums accurately for the products it offers would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.
Interseguro’s financial condition and results of operations depend on its ability to underwrite insurance policies and set premium rates accurately. Interseguro must generate sufficient premiums to offset claim losses and cover operating and underwriting expenses to make a profit. In order to price insurance policies accurately, Interseguro must collect and analyze a substantial volume of data, develop, test and apply appropriate rating formulae, closely monitor changes in trends in a timely fashion and project both severity and frequency of loss with reasonable accuracy. If Interseguro fails to assess accurately the risks that it assumes or does not reinsure an appropriate level of risk, it may fail to establish adequate premium rates, which could reduce income and have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.
23
Interbank’s and Interseguro’s reliance on Peruvian sovereign and global bonds in their respective investment portfolios leaves us vulnerable to a default on such debt.
A substantial portion of our investment portfolio consists of Peruvian sovereign and global bonds and Central Reserve Bank of Peru certificates of deposit, which represented 59.3% of our investment portfolio (before accrued interest) as of December 31, 2023. A default on Peruvian sovereign debt could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Interseguro may suffer losses in its investment portfolio because of risks associated with its real estate investments.
Interseguro’s investment portfolio includes real estate investments located solely in Peru. As of December 31, 2023, Interseguro’s investments in real estate projects totaled S/1,298.9 million, which represented 9.2% of Interseguro’s total investment portfolio. Real estate investments are relatively illiquid, and Interseguro’s ability to vary its portfolio of properties in response to changes in economic and other conditions is limited. If Interseguro wants or needs to sell a property, it may not be able to do so in the desired time period or on favorable terms, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Furthermore, Interseguro is exposed to risk in respect of its real estate investments that are under development, including delays in receiving zoning permits, construction delays, changes in regulation or lack of demand.
Interseguro’s investment properties are carried at fair value, which could result in the value of such investment properties declining if market conditions deteriorate. As a result, we could suffer an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Tax exemptions applicable to a substantial portion of Interseguro’s investment earnings could be changed in the future.
Interseguro pays no income tax, primarily because its investment earnings in respect of its life insurance technical reserves are entirely exempt from income tax. Future changes in tax laws or regulations limiting or eliminating the current tax exemption could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We and our subsidiaries are dependent on key personnel.
Our development, operation and growth have depended significantly upon the efforts and experience of our and our subsidiaries’ board of directors, senior management and key personnel. Most of the members of our senior management have held management positions with other major financial institutions in the United States, Latin America and Europe. Although we currently expect that our and our subsidiaries’ board of directors and other senior managers will continue in their positions, the loss of their services, or our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel to replace them, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Interruption, mismanagement or failure in our subsidiaries’ information technology systems may adversely affect their operations.
Our success and the success of our subsidiaries depend on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our subsidiaries’ computer and communications hardware systems and our applications, including systems and applications that support the operation of Interbank’s financial stores, ATMs, Interbank Agente (correspondent agents), mobile applications and website, as well as the infrastructure components that support our operations (communication devices, networking, etc.). Our subsidiaries’ computer and communications systems and operations could be damaged or interrupted by fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, sabotage, computer viruses, cyber-attacks, physical or electronic break-ins, acts of war, terrorist attacks and similar events or disruptions. Any of these events could cause system interruptions, delays and losses of critical data and could prevent our subsidiaries from operating at optimal levels or at all.
Any failure, interruption or breach in security of our subsidiaries’ information systems could result in failures or interruptions in their risk management, general ledger, deposit servicing, loan organization and/or other important operations, as applicable. Although our subsidiaries have developed back-up systems and a disaster recovery center, and may continue some of their operations in case of emergency, if their information systems fail, even for a short period of time, then they may be unable to serve some or all of their customers’ needs on a timely basis. Likewise, a temporary shutdown of our subsidiaries’ information systems could result in additional costs for information retrieval and verification. In addition, failure to update and develop our
24
subsidiaries’ existing information systems as effectively as their competitors may result in a loss of the competitive advantages that each subsidiary believes its information systems provide. Furthermore, our subsidiaries may not have adequate insurance coverage or insurance limits to be compensated for losses from a major interruption.
If our subsidiaries experience a data security breach and confidential customer information is disclosed to or accessed by third parties, their customers could be adversely affected. The collection of data and processing of transactions require our subsidiaries to receive and store a large amount of personally identifiable data. This type of data is subject to legislation and regulation in various jurisdictions, including Peru. Data security breaches suffered by well-known companies and institutions have attracted a substantial amount of media attention, prompting U.S. state and federal legislative proposals addressing data privacy and security. Our Peruvian subsidiaries are subject to requirements to protect the personally identifiable information that they process in connection with their services. Our Peruvian subsidiaries may become exposed to potential liabilities with respect to the data that they collect, manage and process, and may incur legal costs if their information security policies and procedures are not effective or if they are required to defend their methods of collection, processing and storage of personal data. Security breaches, lawsuits or adverse publicity relating to our subsidiaries’ methods of handling personal data could have a material adverse effect on their business, financial condition and results of operations due to the costs and negative market reaction relating to such developments.
In addition, our current strategy involves significant investments to expand and develop our IT, applications and systems in order to unify and simplify them, and increase the volume of transactions and operations performed online by our personnel and clients. We have also contracted with a third-party provider to ensure the stability and security of our systems and IT infrastructure and to also bear the risk of the failure of that third party. However, there can be no assurance that such strategy or its implementation will be successful, or whether it will result in failures, shutdowns or damage to our business and operations.
Moreover, additional regulations or new requirements may emerge related to cybersecurity controls and data quality, as well as contractual commitments in accordance with standards established by the Information Security and Cybersecurity Management regulation (the “Reglamento para la Gestión de la Seguridad de la Información y la Ciberseguridad”), approved by SBS Resolution No. 504-2021 (as amended by SBS Resolutions No. 1515-2021 and 3240-2023). Any failure or perceived failure by financial and insurance institutions to comply with such obligations may result in governmental enforcement actions and regulatory penalties, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation. Moreover, in November 2021, the SBS approved amendments to the Plan Business Continuity regulation (the “Reglamento para la Gestión de la Continuidad del Negocio”), approved by SBS Resolution No. 877-2020 (amended by SBS Resolutions No. 1536-2020, 3601-2021 and 3955-2022) aimed to manage the enterprise and business unit levels, with business units identifying, measuring, monitoring, managing, and reporting these and other operational risks at a more detailed level. Failure to comply with these rules could result in a loss a material effect on results of operations and financial losses.
The occurrence of any failures or interruptions in our subsidiaries’ IT systems, or the failure of our subsidiaries to adequately address them if they do occur, as well as data security breaches incurred by our subsidiaries, could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, financial condition and results of operations, including as a result of facing significant fines, customer notice obligations or costly litigation, maintaining or upgrading their IT systems, or performing other IT services on a timely basis.
Cybersecurity events could negatively affect our reputation or results of operations and may result in litigation.
Information security risks have increased in recent years due to the proliferation of new technologies and the increasing sophistication and number of cyberattack activities as well as the growing connectivity of equipment and systems to the internet. Data security breaches suffered by numerous companies and institutions around the world have attracted considerable amount of media attention and are leading different regulators to strengthen the legislation requirements for addressing data security and privacy issues. Our subsidiaries depend on a variety of internet-based data processing applications, communication and information exchange platforms, and networks as part of their operations and digital strategy.
In recent years, cybersecurity risks have increased significantly mainly due to remote working arrangements and the increased use of digital channels by the clients of our subsidiaries. In this regard, we and our subsidiaries have implemented additional cybersecurity measures to prevent, detect, and respond to these risks. These measures mainly focus on strengthening the security of devices used by our employees working remotely, improving the connection and authentication methods used in remote connections, managing the risk of third parties that are part of our subsidiaries’ operation more rigorously, increasing the frequency of their cybersecurity awareness programs, and improving the capability of their cybersecurity threat detection, response, and intelligence procedures.
25
Although we and our subsidiaries continuously assess and strive to improve the effectiveness and security of our systems by adopting industry-recognized and suggested security standards, given the current cybersecurity dynamics, we cannot guarantee to holders of our common shares that all of our systems are free from vulnerabilities or that the measures adopted will be successful in preventing cyberattacks scenarios. In the event of a cyberattack, we or our subsidiaries may suffer disruptions to business operations, experience response costs and losses, and may be subject to litigation and reputational harm. A cyberattack could have a material adverse effect on our or our subsidiaries’ business, financial condition, and results of operations. For further information on the cybersecurity protections and details of the information technology units of our subsidiaries, please refer to “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Information Technology Unit” for each of our four business segments and “Item 16K. Cybersecurity.”
Our subsidiaries are susceptible to fraud, unauthorized transactions and operational errors.
Our subsidiaries are susceptible to, among other things, fraud or bad faith by employees or outsiders, unauthorized transactions by employees and other operational errors (including clerical or record keeping errors and errors resulting from faulty computer or telecommunications systems). Given a high volume of transactions that may occur at a financial institution, errors could be repeated or compounded before they are discovered and remedied. In addition, a number of transactions are not fully automated, which may further increase the risk that human error or employee tampering could result in losses that may be difficult to detect quickly or at all.
While our subsidiaries maintain a system of internal controls designed to monitor and control operational risk, losses from the failure of their system of internal controls to discover and rectify such risks could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, our financial condition and results of operations.
Our existing insurance coverage may be insufficient and future coverage may be difficult or expensive to obtain.
Although we believe that our insurance policies provide adequate coverage for the risks inherent in our businesses, these insurance policies typically exclude certain risks and are subject to certain thresholds and limits. We cannot assure holders of our common shares that our properties, equipment, inventories and other assets will not suffer damage due to unforeseen events or that the proceeds available from our insurance policies will be sufficient to protect us from all possible loss or damage resulting from such events. Our subsidiaries renew our insurance policies on an annual basis. The cost of coverage may increase to an extent that we may choose to reduce our policy limits or agree to certain exclusions from our coverage. Among other factors, adverse political developments, security concerns and natural disasters may materially adversely affect available insurance coverage and result in increased premiums for available coverage and additional exclusions from coverage. As a result, our insurance coverage may prove to be inadequate for events that may cause significant disruption to our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our employees could join labor unions and we could be subject to organized labor actions, including work stoppages that could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Even though the employees of our subsidiaries are not unionized and have not entered into any collective bargaining agreement, nothing prevents them from doing so in the future. Conflicts with our employees and organized labor actions such as work disruptions or stoppages or requirements to increase employee salaries and/or benefits as a result of future collective bargaining agreements, governmental regulations or policies or otherwise could cause us to suffer a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our trademarks and trade names may be misappropriated or challenged by others.
We own the material trademark and trade name rights used in connection with our brands and businesses and the marketing and sale of their respective products and services. We believe our brand names and related intellectual property are important to our continued success. We attempt to protect our trademarks and trade names by exercising our rights under applicable trademark and copyright laws. Any infringement of our intellectual property rights would likely result in a commitment of our time and resources to protect these rights through litigation or otherwise, which could be expensive and time-consuming. If we were to fail to protect our intellectual property rights for any reason, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
26
Any failure to comply with anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing and antitrust laws and regulations could damage our reputation or expose us to penalties.
We are subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, antitrust and other international laws and regulations and are required to comply with the applicable laws and regulations of Peru, Panama, Bahamas and certain other jurisdictions. In addition, we are subject to regulatory legal frameworks that restrict our transactions with certain sanctioned countries, individuals and entities. Failure to comply with such laws and regulations may subject us to economic fines, regulatory sanctions or enforcement proceedings.
We and our subsidiaries are in compliance with the applicable AML and anti-terrorist financing laws and regulations and have implemented policies and procedures, including a “know-your-customer” client identification program, monitoring of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), local and international sanctions lists, monitoring clients’ transactions, enhanced due diligence procedures for high-risk clients, internal controls and quality assurance programs. Our compliance program is based upon the applicable Peruvian, Panamanian and Bahamian laws and best international practices, such as the recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force (“FATF”). In addition, we perform due diligence on financial institutions to ensure alignment with anti-money laundering policies and procedures. Although these measures mitigate money laundering and terrorist financing risks, these risks are not fully eliminated. Therefore, when subsidiaries identify suspicious activities, these are reported to the authorities and included in our internal “black list” to block future transactions and mitigate reputational risk. However, these measures and procedures may not be completely effective in preventing third parties from using any of our subsidiaries (and our correspondent banks) as a conduit for money laundering or terrorist financing without our knowledge. If any of our subsidiaries were to be associated with money laundering (including illegal cash operations) or terrorist financing, our reputation as a group could suffer and/or they could become subject to fines, sanctions or legal enforcement, including being added to any “blacklists” that would prohibit certain parties from engaging in transactions with us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We and our subsidiaries are in compliance with applicable anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, rules and regulations, including policies regarding government officials and other high-risk stakeholders. Despite the fact that our subsidiaries undergo regulatory supervision related to these issues and that neither we nor our subsidiaries have been subject to fines or other penalties, or suffered business or other reputational impact due to alleged money laundering, anti-bribery and anti-corruption activities, there can be no assurance that our internal policies and procedures or the internal policies and procedures of our subsidiaries will be sufficient to prevent or detect all inappropriate practices, fraud or violations of law by our affiliates, employees, directors, officers, partners, agents and service providers. We may, in the future, discover instances in which we have failed to comply with applicable laws and regulations or internal controls. If any of our affiliates, employees, directors, agents, officers, partners, agents and services providers or other persons with whom we conduct business engage in fraudulent, corrupt or other improper or unethical business practices or otherwise violate applicable laws, regulations or our own internal compliance systems, we or our subsidiaries could become subject to one or more enforcement actions by Peruvian or foreign authorities (including the U.S. Department of Justice) or otherwise be found to be in violation of such laws, which may result in penalties, fines and sanctions and in turn adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.
We and our subsidiaries are subject to litigation and other legal, administrative and regulatory proceedings.
We and our subsidiaries are regularly party to litigation and other legal proceedings relating to claims resulting from operations in the normal course of business. The interpretation and enforcement of certain provisions of existing or any additional agreements we may enter into in the future may result in disputes among us and customers or third-parties. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings may occur. We cannot assure holders of our common shares that the legal, administrative and regulatory proceedings in which we and our subsidiaries are involved will not materially and adversely affect our ability to conduct our respective business in the manner that we and they expect or otherwise adversely affect our respective results of operations and financial position should an unfavorable ruling occur.
Legal restrictions on our clients may reduce the demand for our services.
We may be materially affected not only by regulations applicable to us, but also by regulations and changes in enforcement practices applicable to our clients. Our business could be affected by, among other things, existing and proposed tax legislation, antitrust and competition policies, corporate governance initiatives, consumer protection laws, data use regulation and other governmental regulation and policies, and changes in the interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and rules, that affect our clients’ businesses and the financial markets. For example, a focus on tax compliance and changes in enforcement practices could lead to asset outflows from our private banking businesses, including at our subsidiary Inteligo.
27
Our risk management structure may not be fully effective.
Our objective is to fully incorporate the risk management process into all of our activities and the activities of our subsidiaries, developing and implementing methodologies, models and other tools for the measurement and control of risks, and looking to continuously improve them in order to mitigate the risks that we identify. However, there may be limitations to this risk management framework in foreseeing and mitigating all the risks to which we or our subsidiaries are subject, including credit, market and operational risks, among others, or those to which we may, in the future, become subject. If our risk management structure is not completely effective in adequately preventing or mitigating risks, we could suffer material unexpected losses, adversely affecting our financial condition and operating results.
Implementation of tax laws related to the global minimum tax may increase our subsidiaries’ tax liabilities, and, as a result, have a material and adverse effect on us.
In 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) published the draft Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules aimed at ensuring that multinational enterprises will be subject to a global minimum 15% tax rate. Governments around the world, including in jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries operate, are implementing changes to their tax laws and regulations to ensure such a global minimum tax. For example, The Bahamas announced in 2023 that it is considering possible options for a new corporate income tax regime to support its implementation of the OECD’s global minimum tax rules. Proposed options include a statutory 15% corporate income tax rate for in-scope multinational enterprises. In February 2024, the Prime Minister of The Bahamas communicated that it was the government’s goal to have a draft legislation for the implementation of OECD’s global minimum tax rules by the end of May 2024, which would then go through public consultation before being finalized for submission to Parliament. Any proposed legislation, if adopted, could result in an increase in tax liabilities for Inteligo Bank, which could have a material adverse impact on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, certain countries in which our affiliates are subject to tax, such as Spain, have proposed to implement the OECD’s global minimum tax rules. In 2023, the Spanish Ministry of Finance proposed legislation to adopt the undertaxed payment/profit rule (UTPR) of the OECD’s global minimum tax rules for taxable years beginning on or after December 31, 2024. The UTPR would apply to multinational groups with annual consolidated revenue of at least EUR 750 million. If implemented by the Spanish government, the UTPR could cause Inteligo Bank’s income in The Bahamas to be subject to tax under the UTPR even if The Bahamas does not implement its own corporate income tax.
Disruptive innovation by fintechs and insurtechs may result in increased competition, and as a result, have a material and adverse effect on our subsidiaries.
Although most fintech and insurtech companies are still in their early stages, and the level of adoption is relatively low compared to the traditional financial system, they represent a disruptive force that is transforming the financial and insurance landscape.
Failure by our subsidiaries to effectively anticipate or adapt to emerging technologies or changes in customer behavior could delay or prevent our access to new digital-based markets. Furthermore, the widespread adoption of new technologies, including payment systems, could require substantial expenditures to modify or adapt our existing products and services as we continue to grow our digital capabilities. As a result, our subsidiaries’ customers may choose to conduct business or offer products on alternative or emerging platforms. Such new technologies could negatively impact our investments in infrastructure, equipment, and personnel, or if our subsidiaries do not properly anticipate trends, render our existing investments in digital platforms moot. If our subsidiaries fail to adapt quickly, or at all, to changes in technologies or changes in customer behavior, it may have an adverse impact on our subsidiaries resulting from increased competition, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Transition to a low-carbon economy may have a material and adverse effect on our subsidiaries’ results of operations.
The shift towards a lower-carbon economy can create challenges and potential financial losses to us or our subsidiaries if not managed effectively. In the case of Interbank, borrowers in high-emitting sectors might face financial difficulties due to regulatory changes, technological disruptions, or changing consumer preferences. This could lead to loan defaults, impacting banks’ asset quality and profitability. Inteligo can face stranded assets in its investments in companies or assets heavily reliant on fossil fuels, which value could decrease as the transition progresses. In general, we might face higher operational costs due to regulatory changes not only related to climate risk disclosure or carbon pricing, but also to capital requirements related to climate risks, increasing compliance costs and potentially restricting lending activities. The overall impact can lead to decreased profitability and shareholder value.
28
Risks Relating to Peru
Economic, social and political developments in Peru, including political instability, social unrest, persistent inflation and unemployment, could have a material adverse effect on our businesses.
Substantially all of the operations and customers of our subsidiaries are located in Peru. Accordingly, our financial condition and results of operations will be dependent on the level of economic activity in Peru. Our financial condition and results of operations could be affected by changes in economic conditions (both domestic and international), policies of the Peruvian government (which has exercised and continues to exercise substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector) and by other economic and political developments in Peru, including devaluation, currency exchange controls, limits on interest rates, seizure of private property, financial regulation, inflation, economic downturns, corruption scandals, social unrest and terrorism, among others.
Historically, Peru’s GDP growth rates and external surplus, reflect, in part, the strength of Peru’s economic fundamentals. However, ongoing deterioration of the global economy, rising inflation and fuel prices may adversely affect Peru’s economy. In addition, an economic contraction or weak economic growth in Peru’s trading partners may have an adverse effect on Peru’s economy. Social and political tensions and high levels of poverty and unemployment continue. The combination of these factors may be exacerbated by political events, which may lead to intensified economic, social and/or political crises, sparking a wave of protests and social unrest.
Furthermore, Peru has experienced political instability that has included a succession of regimes with differing economic policies and programs, followed by periods of stability. Beginning in 2018, Peru has suffered a series of government institutional crises due to, among other things, several corruption and political scandals involving prominent political figures, which have resulted in resignations and impeachment of various presidents since then.
Peru’s most recent presidential elections took place in April 2021. Following a run-off between the top contenders, José Pedro Castillo Terrones (Partido Político Nacional Perú Libre), a far-left candidate, and Keiko Sofia Fujimori Higuchi (Fuerza Popular), a center-right candidate, on June 6, 2021, Pedro Castillo was elected as Peru’s president and sworn in as President on July 28, 2021.
On December 7, 2022, Mr. Castillo announced his intention to dissolve the Peruvian Congress and to intervene in, among others, the Peruvian judicial branch and Superior Court. Mr. Castillo’s actions were deemed to constitute an attempted coup, which led to his impeachment and arrest. According to the Peruvian Constitution, Mr. Castillo was succeeded by his then vice-president, Dina Boluarte.
Furthermore, on early 2024, the Peruvian Prosecutor’s Office informed the beginning of preliminary investigations to President Boluarte for an alleged illicit enrichment, which led to the filing of motions intending to impeach the President, but the motions did not obtain the required votes to being admitted to debate in the Congress. Moreover, the mass violent protests in several regions of the country following former President Castillo’s impeachment in December 2022, together with the political uncertainty over the past years have raised concerns about the ability of the government to implement long-term and consistent economic and social policies required to combat social and economic issues in the future, including those designed to promote economic growth and to counteract the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The government’s failure to address and alleviate these concerns could result in rating agencies downgrading Peru’s sovereign debt rating, which in turn could affect our rating and materially impact our business and operations.
In the past, previous governments have imposed controls on prices, exchange rates, local and foreign investment and international trade, restricted the ability of companies to dismiss employees, expropriated private sector assets and prohibited the remittance of profits to foreign investors. Most recently, former President Vizcarra was known for pursuing business-friendly and open-market economic policies, which remained in place during former President Sagasti’s term, while former President Castillo was known for having proposed certain tax, fiscal, financial and economic restrictions in line with his party’s left-leaning agenda. Given current political conditions in Peru, there is no certainty on what kind of policies President Boluarte will pursue, or whether those policies will be business-friendly and directed at open-market economic policies that stimulate economic growth and stability during her term. Such political uncertainty, and any future policies that might be implemented by the Peruvian government and/or any action taken by the Peruvian Congress could impact interest rates and currency volatility, as well as adversely and materially affect the Peruvian economy, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. See “—Potential exchange controls implemented by the Peruvian government could adversely affect our ability to pay dividends and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.” In addition, economic, social and political developments in the region may have an adverse effect on Peru’s economy.
29
There can be no assurance that Peru will not face continued or new economic, political or social problems in the future or that these problems will not adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Future government policies to pre-empt or respond to social unrest could include, among other things, declarations of state of national emergency, expropriation, nationalization, suspension of the enforcement of creditors’ rights and new taxation policies.
Fluctuations in the value of the sol could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
As the Peruvian banking system is still partially dollarized, with 26.9% of gross loans and 33.6% of deposits denominated in U.S. dollars as of December 31, 2023, devaluation of the sol against the U.S. dollar could have a negative impact on the ability of Interbank’s clients to repay loans and make premium payments.
We are exposed to currency mismatch risks. Within our insurance segment, a similar adverse effect could occur on Interseguro’s local debt holdings denominated in foreign currency. Despite any devaluation, and absent any change in foreign exchange regulations, Interbank and Interseguro would be required to continue to repay dollar-denominated deposits in U.S. dollars. In addition, while we seek to manage the gap between Interbank’s and Interseguro’s foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities, by matching, for example, the volumes and maturities of Interbank’s sol-denominated loans against Interbank’s sol-denominated deposits, we may not be successful in doing so. Therefore, any significant devaluation of the sol against the U.S. dollar could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, a devaluation of the sol against the U.S. dollar would decrease the dollar value of any dividends paid to us by our subsidiaries, and, as a result, our ability to pay dividends could be materially and adversely affected. An appreciation of the sol could also have an adverse impact on our results of operations as reported in soles, as Inteligo’s operations are denominated in U.S. dollars, but our reporting currency is in soles.
Potential exchange controls implemented by the Peruvian government could adversely affect our ability to pay dividends and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Since 1991, the Peruvian economy has undergone a major transformation from a highly protected and regulated system to a free market economy. During this period, protectionist and interventionist laws and policies have been dismantled gradually to create a liberal economy dominated by the private sector. Exchange controls and restrictions on remittances of profits, dividends and royalties have ceased. Prior to 1991, Peru exercised control over the foreign exchange markets by imposing multiple exchange rates and placing restrictions on the possession and use of foreign currencies. Currently, foreign exchange rates are determined by market conditions, with regular open-market operations by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru in the foreign exchange market to reduce volatility in the value of Peru’s currency against the U.S. dollar.
There can be no assurance that the Peruvian government will not institute restrictive exchange rate policies in the future. Any such restrictive exchange rate policy could have a material adverse effect on our subsidiaries’ business, financial condition and results of operations and adversely affect their ability to repay debt or other obligations and therefore restrict their access to international financing.
Volatility in exchange rates may also result in significant competitive benefits to certain of our subsidiaries’ competitors who incur a greater part of their costs in other currencies than our subsidiaries’ do or increase our subsidiaries’ hedging costs and limit our subsidiaries’ ability to hedge their exchange rate exposure.
Any dividends paid to us by Interbank, Interseguro, Inteligo SAB and Izipay will be paid in soles. Peruvian law does not impose any restrictions on the ability of companies having operations in Peru to transfer foreign currencies from Peru to other countries, except for restrictions applicable to companies that have been convicted or have admitted to and/or acknowledged committing crimes against the Peruvian public administration or money laundering or equivalent crimes, as set forth in Law No. 30737 (a law that provides for the compensation of the governmental entity in cases of corruption and other crimes) and Urgency Decree No. 003-2017 (Urgency Decree to Ensure Continuity of Public Utility Investment Projects and Safeguard Compensation to the State in Cases of Corruption), which restricts the transfer of both local and foreign currency abroad. Except for the restrictions set forth in such regulations, companies having operations in Peru may freely transfer foreign currency from Peru to other countries. If the Peruvian government were to implement restrictive exchange rate controls in the future, we might be obligated to seek an authorization from the Peruvian government to make dividend payments. We cannot assure holders of our common shares that such an authorization would be obtained. Any such exchange rate restrictions or the failure to obtain such an authorization could materially and adversely affect our ability to pay our shareholders.
30
Increased inflation in Peru could have an adverse effect on the Peruvian long-term credit market as well as the Peruvian economy generally and, therefore, on our financial condition and results of operations.
In the past, Peru has suffered through periods of high and hyper-inflation, which has materially undermined the Peruvian economy and the government’s ability to create conditions that support economic growth. In response to increased inflation, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, which sets the Peruvian basic interest rate, may increase or decrease the basic interest rate in an attempt to control inflation or foster economic growth. Increases in the base interest rate could adversely affect our results of operations, increasing the cost of certain funding. Additionally, a return to a high inflation environment would also undermine Peru’s foreign competitiveness, with negative effects on the level of economic activity and employment, while increasing our operating costs and adversely impacting our operating margins. As of December 31, 2023, the rate of inflation was 3.24%, compared to 8.46% in the year ended December 31, 2022, and, in its latest estimate, as of December 22, 2023, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru has estimated Peru’s inflation to be 2.2% in 2024.
The stability of the Peruvian financial system depends on public confidence in Peruvian banking and financial institutions.
Financial institutions, including Interbank and Interseguro, depend on public confidence in the Peruvian financial system. In the event of adverse developments affecting Peru’s economic, political or social conditions or if a bank faces liquidity problems, the general public may withdraw deposits and savings from the troubled bank or from banks generally, thereby precipitating a liquidity crisis, as occurred in Peru in the late 1990s.
If depositors withdraw significant holdings from banks generally, including Interbank, there will be a substantial adverse impact on the manner in which financial institutions, including Interbank and Interseguro, conduct their business, on their ability to operate as financial intermediaries and on their financial condition, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The Peruvian economy could be adversely affected by economic developments in regional or global markets.
Financial and securities markets in Peru are influenced by economic and market conditions in regional or global markets. Although economic conditions vary from country to country, investors’ perceptions of the events occurring in one country may adversely affect cash flows and securities from issuers in other countries, including Peru. For example, the Peruvian economy was adversely affected by the political and economic events that occurred in several emerging economies in the 1990s, including in Mexico in 1994, which impacted the fair value of securities issued by companies from markets throughout Latin America. The crisis in the Asian markets beginning in 1997 also negatively affected markets throughout Latin America. Similar adverse consequences resulted from the economic crisis in Russia in 1998, the Brazilian devaluation in 1999 and the Argentine crisis in 2001. In addition, Peru’s economy continues to be affected by events in the economies of its major regional partners and in developed economies that are trading partners or that affect the global economy.
The 2008 and 2009 global financial and economic crisis, principally driven by the subprime mortgage market in the United States, substantially affected the international financial system, including Peru’s securities market and economy. Additionally, the debt crisis in Europe, which began with the financial crises in Greece, Spain, Italy and Portugal, reduced the confidence of foreign investors, which caused volatility in the securities markets and affected the ability of companies to obtain financing globally. Doubts about the pace of global growth, particularly in the United States, contributed to already weak international growth in 2011, 2012 and 2013. Moreover, Brexit and regional developments in China and other Asian countries, as well as the market turmoil generated by the recent bank failures in the United States, and the emergency sale of Credit Suisse have contributed to increased volatility and uncertainty in a number of financial markets. In addition, the announcement of rate increases by the U.S. Federal Reserve, the trade war between the United States and China, and, while our direct exposure to Russia is limited, Russia’s large-scale continued military invasion of Ukraine, the military conflict between Israel and Hamas, among other factors, had an impact on the Peruvian economy by adding inflationary pressures, including in respect of high food and energy prices. Moreover, the high inflation combined with the interest rate increase by the Federal Reserve of the United States have impacted our liquidity in the capital markets.
Any interruption to the recovery of the developed economies, the continued effects of the global crises, a worsening or resurgence of the debt crisis in Europe, a new geopolitical tension in Europe resulting in economic and/or financial crisis, or new bank failures in the United States, Peru or other countries, or a combination of the above, could affect the Peruvian economy, and consequently, materially adversely affect our business. Our business is particularly sensitive to economic and market conditions which affect products of various export industries, including textile, fishing, and agriculture. In addition, we are active in the real estate sector, which can also be highly sensitive to macroeconomic developments. Although we have relatively little exposure to the mining sector, a decline in commodity prices could negatively affect the Peruvian economy as a whole. Any increase in the number of delinquencies or defaults would result in higher levels of non-performing assets and provisions for loan losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
31
Adverse developments in regional or global markets or an increase in the perceived risks associated with investing in emerging markets in the future could adversely affect the Peruvian economy and, as a result, adversely affect our businesses.
A decline in the prices of certain commodities in the international markets could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
In 2023, traditional exports, in particular mineral products, fishing products, agricultural products and petroleum and its derivatives, represented 72.3% of Peru’s total exports compared to 71.9% in 2022, according to figures by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru. A decline in commodity prices in the international markets, especially traditional minerals which represented 63.3% and 57.3% of exports by value in 2023 and 2022, respectively, may have an adverse impact on government finances, which could affect both investor confidence and the sustainability of government expenditure and social programs. Thus, a decline in commodity prices could, ultimately, affect the political environment in Peru, especially as regional and local governments are particularly reliant on tax revenue from mining concerns. By potentially affecting private sector demand and investor confidence, lower commodity prices could also affect the banking and insurance sector, leading to, for example, lower credit demand, deteriorating asset quality and currency devaluation. A decline in commodity prices could also materially affect the finances of some of our clients that rely on revenue from natural resources.
The market volatility generated by distortions in the international financial markets may affect the Peruvian capital markets and the Peruvian banking system.
The global financial and economic crisis of 2008 and 2009, and more recently, the COVID-19 pandemic and the market turmoil generated by the recent bank failures in the United States and the emergency sale of Credit Suisse, adversely affected and increased the volatility of the performance of the Lima Stock Exchange. The Lima Stock Exchange was downgraded from an “emerging market” to “frontier market” in September 2020, which may in the future affect trading activity in the Peruvian capital markets. In recent years, the Lima Stock Exchange has experienced increased participation from local and international retail investors that react rapidly to the effects from international markets. The general index of the Lima Stock Exchange increased by 1.4% in 2021, by 1.0% in 2022 and by 21.7% in 2023. Volatility in the international markets may adversely affect the Peruvian capital markets and could therefore impact our ability to raise funds from local capital markets at a level necessary to fund our operations.
Although the Peruvian banking system has not experienced any significant liquidity problems in recent years, primarily because the major source of funds for local banks, including Interbank, is represented by the deposit base, future market volatility may affect do so. The occurrence of such volatility could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The operations of Interbank, Interseguro, Interfondos, Inteligo SAB and Izipay could be adversely affected by earthquakes, floodings or other natural disasters, such as the “El Niño” phenomenon, which causes a warming of temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, resulting in heavy rains off the coast of Peru, among other locations.
Peru is affected by El Niño, an oceanic and atmospheric phenomenon that causes a warming of temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, resulting in heavy rains off the coast of Peru and various other effects in other parts of the world. The effects of El Niño, which typically occurs every two to seven years, include flooding and the destruction of fish populations and agriculture, and it accordingly can have a negative impact on Peru’s economy. For example, in early 2017, El Niño adversely affected agricultural production, transportation services, tourism and commercial activity, caused widespread damage to infrastructure and displaced people and resulted in a 1.5% drop in GDP growth in 2017 relative to 2016 figures. The Peruvian government estimated that El Niño caused U.S.$2.8 billion in damages in affected regions in the first half of 2017. In particular, El Niño has affected and could in the future affect our loan activity and asset quality, as loan agreements typically allow borrowers to extend payments for a certain amount of time due to El Niño and it could ultimately affect their payment capacity when the extensions run out. Most recently, on March 15, 2022, heavy rainfall led to floods and landslides in the town of Retamas, La Libertad, which caused the destruction of many homes and caused several deaths.
Peru is also located in an area that experiences seismic activity and occasionally is affected by earthquakes. For example, in 2007, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.9 on the Richter scale struck the central coast of Peru, severely damaging the region south of Lima, and on May 26, 2019, an earthquake with a magnitude of 8.0 struck a remote part of the Amazon in Peru, resulting in collapsed buildings, power failures and two reported deaths. Although Interbank’s, Interseguro’s, Inteligo’s and Izipay’s headquarters and financial stores in Peru have not been materially affected by an earthquake, a major earthquake could damage the infrastructure necessary to their operations.
32
Although we have insured against damage caused by an earthquake and other natural disasters, accidents and other similar events (including coverage for losses due to resulting business interruption), the occurrence of an earthquake in particular and any other natural disasters in general could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition and we may be subject to further requirements from the SBS in order to provide temporary measures for the victims of the natural disasters, such as re-scheduling their credit payments. Further, any natural disaster will increase the probability of Interseguro having to pay the corresponding indemnification to customers under insurance policies that Interseguro sold, which would negatively affect its operating margins.
Corruption and ongoing high profile corruption investigations may hinder the growth of the Peruvian economy and have a negative impact on our business and operations.
Starting in 2018, Peru has suffered a series of government institutional crises due to, among other things, several corruption scandals involving prominent political figures, which have resulted in resignations and impeachment of various presidents since then, including most recently former President Jose Pedro Castillo in December 2022 following an attempted coup, as well as investigations of certain members of the judicial system and the public ministry who are now facing prosecution. See “—Economic, social and political developments in Peru, including political instability, inflation and unemployment, could have a material adverse effect on our businesses”.
In addition, several corruption scandals regarding authorities at municipal, regional and national government levels are also ongoing, and former and current government officials have been detained. Relatedly, Peruvian authorities are currently conducting several high-profile corruption investigations relating to the activities of certain Brazilian companies and their Peruvian partners in the construction and infrastructure sectors, which have resulted in suspension or delay of important infrastructure projects, which were otherwise operational and permitted. Due to the cooperation agreement signed between the Peruvian government and Odebrecht S.A. in 2019, additional investigations and/or corruption scandals may arise. In recent years, similar corruption scandals have taken place in the majority of Peruvian public institutions, with the involvement of political authorities. We cannot predict how these or future corruption scandals or investigations may affect the Peruvian economy, hinder the growth of the Peruvian economy and indirectly have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in tax laws may increase our tax liabilities and, as a result, have a material and adverse effect on us.
The Peruvian government regularly implements changes to its tax regulations and interpretations. Potential changes may include modifications in the taxable events, the taxable bases or the tax rates, or the enactment of temporary taxes that, in some cases, could become permanent taxes. The Peruvian government has introduced several changes related, among others, to thin capitalization rules (which prevents companies from deducting interest for tax purposes when certain thresholds are exceeded) and to the general anti-avoidance rule or GAAR (which entitles the tax and customs national superintendency to challenge the taxation of certain transactions with a substance-over-form criteria).
The effects of any tax reform that could be proposed in the future and any other changes that could result from the enactment of additional reform or changes in interpretation have not been, and cannot be, quantified. Any changes to the Peruvian tax regime or interpretation thereof may result in an increase of our and our subsidiaries’ tax liabilities and/or overall compliance costs, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, such political uncertainty, or actual policies implemented by the Peruvian government, could also impact interest rates and currency volatility, as well as adversely and materially affect the Peruvian economy, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The dollarization of the Peruvian economy hampers monetary policy, which in turn may have an effect on our business.
Dollarization generally refers to the degree to which the U.S. dollar has displaced the local currency in the economy. Despite the positive effect that it may have on reducing cross-border transaction costs and preserving purchasing power, the dollarization of the Peruvian economy has also hampered monetary policy by undermining the Central Reserve Bank of Peru’s ability to control the money supply. Despite the government’s policies and efforts to “solarize” the economy, which have been adopted in the past, the high degree of dollarization of the economy affects the Peruvian financial system by forcing the Central Reserve Bank of Peru to establish high levels of reserve requirements in U.S. dollars while also adding a risk to participating banks’ statements of financial position, including Interbank. An appreciation of the U.S. dollar poses a risk to us and a systemic risk to the Peruvian financial system because of the levels of U.S. dollar-denominated assets and liabilities in the Peruvian financial system. This risk
33
comes from the potential imbalance that a bank’s clients may experience when borrowing in U.S. dollars and earning in soles. As a result, the SBS has been enacting rules aimed to make banks capable of identifying clients with potential imbalances and establishing reserves if necessary.
Under the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, all financial institutions regulated by the SBS (except for small-business development non-bank institutions) are required to maintain a legal reserve (encaje) for certain obligations. The Central Reserve Bank of Peru may require additional and marginal reserves. The exact level and method of calculation of the reserve requirement is set by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, which has issued different sets of regulations for foreign and local currency-denominated obligations of banks. We cannot assure you that the Central Reserve Bank of Peru will not increase the base rate or impose additional requirements in the future, or that such changes in the regulatory environment will not have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Risks Relating to the Common Shares
There may be a lack of liquidity and market for our common shares.
An active and liquid market for our common shares may not be maintained. Active, liquid trading markets generally result in lower price volatility and respond more efficiently to orders from investors to purchase or sell securities. Liquidity of a securities’ market is often a function of the volume of the underlying shares that are publicly-held by unrelated parties. Our common shares are listed on the Lima Stock Exchange, which is generally a less liquid trading market than the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Moreover, on March 31, 2023, IFS’ shareholders have approved the creation of a share repurchase program for an amount of up to U.S.$100 million of our common shares which is ongoing and has reduced the amount of our common shares available for trading and thus their liquidity.
In addition, investing in securities traded in emerging market countries, such as Peru, frequently involves a greater degree of risk when compared to investments in securities of issuers located in international securities markets with more stable economic, political and/or regulatory conditions and are generally considered being more speculative in nature.
These factors affect the ability of holders of our common to sell common shares at a desirable price and time, which could have a material adverse effect on the price of our common shares. In the event an active and liquid market for our common shares does not develop or is not maintained, the market price of our common shares that could be negatively impacted.
The price of our common shares may be volatile.
The trading price of our common shares may fluctuate substantially and may be higher or lower than the price holders of our common shares pay, depending on many factors, some of which are beyond our control and may not be related to our operating performance. These fluctuations could cause holders of our common shares to lose part or all of their investment in our common shares. The factors that could cause fluctuations include, but are not limited to, the following:
| • | overall price and volume fluctuations affecting the stock exchanges on which our common shares are listed, including financial market volatility as a result of Russia’s continued large-scale military invasion of Ukraine or the military conflicts between Israel and Hamas; |
| • | financial market volatility and market turmoil associated with the failure of two U.S. banks and the emergency sale of Credit Suisse or similar developments in the financial industry; |
| • | significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of banking or insurance company securities generally, which are not necessarily related to the operating performance of these companies; |
| • | actual or anticipated changes in our earnings, fluctuations in our operating results or the failure to meet the expectations of financial market analysts and investors; |
| • | risks relating to the global economy and the economies of the United States, Peru and the other countries in which we operate; |
| • | investors’ perceptions of the banking and insurance industries in general and our company in particular; |
34
| • | potential differences between our actual financial condition and results of operations and those expected by investors; |
| • | additions or departures of key management personnel; |
| • | announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, divestitures, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; |
| • | increase in interest rates in Peru and the United States; |
| • | reputational issues; |
| • | the operating and stock performance of comparable companies; |
| • | general economic conditions and trends; |
| • | catastrophic events; |
| • | changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretation or principles; |
| • | regulatory changes; |
| • | loss of external funding sources; or |
| • | sales of large blocks of our stock or sales by insiders. |
We may raise additional capital in the future through the issuance of equity securities, which may result in dilution of the interests of our shareholders.
We may need to raise additional capital and may opt for obtaining such capital through the public or private placement of common shares or securities convertible into our common shares. Our articles of incorporation do not provide for preemptive rights for our shareholders in the event of a public or private equity raise, or financing through the issuance of securities convertible into our common shares, such additional funds may dilute the percentage interests of investors in our common shares.
The significant share ownership of our controlling shareholder may conflict with the interests of the holders of our common shares and may have an adverse effect on the future market price of our shares.
As of December 31, 2023, our controlling shareholder (Intercorp Peru) owned, directly and indirectly, 71.44% of our outstanding capital stock (including treasury stock). Actions by Intercorp Peru with respect to the disposition of any of our common shares that it beneficially owns or the perception that such actions will occur, may negatively affect the trading price of our common shares.
In addition, Intercorp Peru has and will continue to have the ability to elect a majority of the members of our board of directors and thus determine our business strategies, as well as determine the outcome of actions that require shareholder approval, including the approval of mergers and other extraordinary transactions and the payment of dividends. The controlling shareholder of Intercorp Peru may have interests that differ from those of the holders of our common shares and may take actions that may be adverse to their interests. The concentration of ownership may also delay, prevent or deter a change in control of our company, could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common shares as part of a sale of our company and might ultimately affect the market price of our common shares.
In addition, we and our subsidiaries engage in numerous related party transactions with companies controlled by Intercorp Peru as well as other affiliated companies. Although Peruvian, Panamanian and Bahamian law regulate the amount of credit exposure our subsidiaries are permitted to have with our related parties, conflicts of interest may arise in the future. See “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions—Related Party Transactions.”
35
Holders of our common shares may have fewer and less well-defined rights than shareholders of a company organized in other jurisdictions, such as the United States.
We are a sociedad anónima (corporation) organized under the laws of Panama. Our corporate affairs are governed by our organizational documents and the laws of Panama. Under such documents and laws, our shareholders, and therefore holders of our common shares, may have fewer or less well-defined rights than they might have as shareholders of a corporation incorporated in other jurisdictions, such as in the United States.
Holders of our common shares may have difficulty enforcing judgments against us, our officers and directors.
We are a corporation organized under the laws of Panama, and the majority of our subsidiaries’ operations are in Peru. Substantially all of our directors, officers and certain of the experts named herein reside outside the United States, and all or substantial portions of our assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for holders of our securities to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons or upon us, including with respect to matters arising under the federal securities laws of the United States, or to enforce against such persons or against us judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or other laws of the United States or any State thereof.
We have been advised by our Peruvian counsel that any final and conclusive judgment for a fixed and final sum obtained against us in any foreign court having jurisdiction in respect of any suit, action or proceeding against us for the enforcement of any obligations assumed under our outstanding securities or this Annual Report on Form 20-F would, upon request, will be deemed valid and enforceable in Peru through an exequatur judiciary proceeding (which does not involve the reopening of the case), provided that (a) there is a treaty in effect between the country where said foreign court sits and Peru regarding the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments or, (b) in the absence of such a treaty, the original judgment is recognized by Peruvian Courts (Cortes de la República del Perú) under such exequatur proceeding, subject to the provisions of the Peruvian Civil Code and the Peruvian Civil Procedure Code, provided further, that the following conditions and requirements are met: (i) the foreign judgment does not resolve matters under the exclusive jurisdiction of Peruvian Courts, (ii) such foreign court had jurisdiction under its own conflicts of law rules and under general principles of international law on jurisdiction, (iii) the defendant was adequately served and was guaranteed due process under the laws of the jurisdiction of the issuing court, (iv) the foreign judgment has the status of res judicata in the jurisdiction of the court rendering such judgment, (v) there is no pending litigation in Peru between the same parties for the same dispute, which shall have been initiated before the commencement of the proceeding that concluded with such foreign judgment, (vi) the foreign judgment is not incompatible with another judgment that fulfills the requirements of recognition and enforceability established by Peruvian law unless such foreign judgment was rendered first, (vii) the foreign judgment is not contrary to public order (orden público) or good morals (buenas costumbres), (viii) it has not been proven that such foreign court denies enforcement of Peruvian judgments or engages in a review of the merits thereof, (ix) the judgment has been (a) duly apostilled by the competent authority of the jurisdiction of the issuing court, in case of jurisdictions that are parties to the Hague Apostille Convention and has not opposed Peru’s accession thereto, or (b) certified by Peruvian consular authorities, in case of jurisdictions that are not parties to the Hague Apostille Convention, or then being a signatory country, opposed Peru’s accession thereto and is accompanied by a certified and officially translated copy of such judgment into Spanish, and (x) the applicable court taxes and filing fees have been paid.
We have been advised by our Panamanian counsel that there is uncertainty as to the enforceability in original actions in Panamanian courts of liabilities predicated solely on the U.S. federal securities laws and as to the enforceability in Panamanian courts of judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States. There is no existing treaty between the United States and Panama for the reciprocal enforcement of foreign judgments of courts outside Panama, including without limitation, judgments of U.S. courts. Panamanian courts, however, have enforced judgments rendered in the United States based on legal principles of reciprocity and comity. We have been advised by our Panamanian counsel that judgments rendered by foreign courts may only be recognized and enforced by the courts of Panama in the event that the Supreme Court of Panama validates such judgment by the issuance of a writ of exequatur. Subject to a writ of exequatur, any final judgment rendered by any U.S. court will be recognized, conclusive and enforceable in the courts of Panama without reconsideration of the merits, provided that: (i) such foreign court grants reciprocity to the enforcement of judgments of the courts of Panama; (ii) the party against which the judgment was rendered was personally served (service by mail not being sufficient) in such action within such foreign jurisdiction; (iii) the judgment arises out of a personal action against the defendant; (iv) the obligation in respect of which the judgment was rendered is lawful in Panama and does not contradict the public policy of Panama; (v) the judgment is properly authenticated by diplomatic or consular officers of Panama or pursuant to the 1961 Hague Convention on the Legalization of Documents; and (vi) a copy of the final judgment is translated into Spanish by a licensed translator in Panama. We have no reason to believe that any of our obligations relating to the shares would be contrary to Panamanian law.
36
The laws of Peru and Panama may not be as favorable to the interests of holders of our common shares as the laws of jurisdictions with which they are familiar. The application of these laws, or any conflict among them, could call into question what and how the laws of each jurisdiction should apply.
In addition, our articles of incorporation contain a general indemnification provision for our officers and directors for any loss, change or payment arising out of any claim or right of action, both individually and on our behalf, against any of them. Directors and officers and their successors and their property will be compensated for and kept safe, during the time devoted to the Company in relation to any of the affairs thereof, from any action, costs, charges, losses, damages and expenses which any of them may incur or sustain by reason of any act or omission done in the performance of their duties, and none of them will be liable for the acts, neglect or omissions of others, even if his signature or action has been provided as internal or external requirement. The indemnity provision does not cover any damage or loss resulting from malice or inexcusable negligence on the part of any of our officers or directors.
Judgments of Peruvian courts with respect to our common shares will be payable only in soles.
If proceedings are brought in the courts of Peru seeking to enforce our obligations in respect of our common shares, we will not be required to discharge our obligations in a currency other than soles. Under Peruvian exchange control limitations, an obligation in Peru to pay amounts denominated in a currency other than soles may be satisfied in Peruvian currency only at the exchange rate, as determined by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, in effect on the date the judgment is obtained, and such amounts are then adjusted to reflect exchange rate variations through the effective payment date. The then prevailing exchange rate may not afford non-Peruvian investors with full compensation for any claim arising out of or related to our obligations under our common shares.
We are subject to different corporate disclosure and accounting standards than those holders of our common shares may be familiar with in the United States.
As a corporation organized under the laws of Panama, our corporate affairs are governed by the laws of Panama. In addition, as our common shares are listed on the Lima Stock Exchange and the majority of our subsidiaries’ operations are in Peru, we follow Panamanian and most Peruvian practices concerning corporate governance and intend to continue to do so. Financial reporting and securities disclosure requirements in Panama and Peru differ in certain significant respects from those required in the United States. There are also material differences among IFRS, SBS GAAP and U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the information about us available to holders of our common shares will not be the same as the information available to holders of shares issued by a U.S. company.
In addition, the Peruvian Securities Market Law, which governs open or publicly listed companies, such as us, imposes disclosure requirements that are more limited than those in the U.S. in certain important respects. Although Peruvian law imposes restrictions on insider trading and price manipulation, applicable Peruvian laws are different from those in the United States, and the Peruvian securities markets are not as highly regulated and supervised as the U.S. securities markets.
We could be considered a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which could result in adverse U.S. tax consequences for U.S. investors.
Based on our current expectations regarding the value and nature of our assets, the sources and nature of our income, relevant market and shareholder data and our current business plans, we believe that we will not be treated as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to our 2023 and current taxable years, and we do not anticipate becoming a PFIC in the future. Characterization as a PFIC could result in adverse U.S. tax consequences to holders of our common shares if they are U.S. investors. Certain elections may be available to mitigate the consequences if we are treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See “Item 10. Additional Information—Taxation—United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Passive Foreign Investment Companies” included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 20-F.
One or more of our subsidiaries could be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
As discussed in more detail in “Taxation—United States Federal Income Tax Considerations,” U.S. investors may face unique U.S. tax issues from indirectly owning interests in a PFIC that may result in adverse U.S. tax consequences to them. See “Item 10. Additional Information—Taxation—United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Passive Foreign Investment Companies” included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 20-F.

If we are unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, our results of operations and the price of our common shares could be adversely affected.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our management is required to report on, and our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
The rules governing the standards that must be met for management to assess our internal control over financial reporting are complex and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation. We can provide no assurance that from time to time we will not identify concerns that could require remediation. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations in the future. If we are unable to conclude that we have effective internal control over financial reporting, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide us with an unqualified opinion regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in subsequent years as required by Section 404, investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could result in a decrease in the value of our common shares.
Failure to comply with Section 404 could also potentially subject us to sanctions or investigations by the SEC, the NYSE or other regulatory authorities.
The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our ability to attract and retain qualified board members or executive officers.
As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company, including costs associated with public company reporting requirements, such as those to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and related rules implemented by the SEC. The expenses incurred by public companies generally for reporting and corporate governance purposes have been increasing and we expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. These laws and regulations could also make it more difficult or costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including director and officer liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. These laws and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as our executive officers and may divert management’s attention. Furthermore, if we are unable to satisfy our obligations as a public company, we could be subject to delisting of our common shares, fines, sanctions and other regulatory action and potentially civil litigation which may adversely affect us.
Our status as a foreign private issuer allows us to follow alternate standards to the corporate governance standards of the NYSE, which may limit the protections afforded to investors.
We are a “foreign private issuer” within the meaning of the NYSE corporate governance standards. Under NYSE rules, a foreign private issuer may elect to comply with the practices of its home country and not comply with certain corporate governance requirements applicable to U.S. companies with securities listed on the exchange. We currently follow certain Panamanian and most Peruvian practices concerning corporate governance and intend to continue to do so. Accordingly, holders of our common shares will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the NYSE corporate governance requirements.
For example, the NYSE listing standards provide that the board of directors of a U.S. listed company must have a majority of independent directors at the time the company ceases to be a “controlled company”. The listing standards for the NYSE also require that U.S. listed companies, at the time they cease to be “controlled companies,” have a nominating/corporate governance committee and a compensation committee (in addition to an audit committee). Each of these committees must consist solely of independent directors and must have a written charter that addresses certain matters specified in the listing standards. Under both Panamanian and Peruvian law, companies may, but are not required to, form special governance committees, which may be composed partially or entirely of non-independent directors. In addition, NYSE rules require the independent non-executive directors of U.S. listed companies to meet on a regular basis without management being present. There is no similar requirement under Peruvian and Panamanian law.
The NYSE’s listing standards also require U.S. listed companies to adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines. In December 2013, the SMV published the new Code of Good Governance for Peruvian Companies. Although we have implemented most of these measures, those principles are not mandatory and therefore we are not legally required to comply with the corporate governance guidelines but are required to disclose whether or not we are in compliance. We are fully compliant with Panamanian corporate law and are part of the Index of Good Corporate Governance (Índice de Buen Gobierno Corporativo) maintained by the Lima Stock Exchange.

If securities or industry analysts do not actively follow our business, or if they publish unfavorable research about our business, the price and trading volume of our common shares could decline.
The trading market for our common shares will depend, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our common shares or publishes unfavorable research about our business, the price of our common shares would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our company or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our common shares could decrease, which could cause the price and trading volume of our common shares to decline.
Future offerings of debt or preferred securities may limit our operating and financial flexibility and may materially adversely affect the market price of, and dilute the value of, the common shares.
If we decide to issue debt or preferred securities in the future or otherwise incur indebtedness, it is possible that these debt or preferred securities or indebtedness will be governed by an indenture or credit agreement or other instrument containing covenants restricting our operating flexibility and limiting our ability to make distributions to holders of the common shares. Additionally, any convertible or exchangeable securities that we issue in the future may have rights, preferences and privileges, including with respect to distributions, more favorable than those of the common shares and may result in dilution to holders of the common shares. Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering or otherwise incur indebtedness will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings or financings, any of which could materially reduce the market price of the common shares and dilute the value of the common shares.
Peruvian corporations, including our subsidiaries, may be jointly and severally liable for any unpaid Peruvian capital gains tax related to the transfer of the common shares.
Peruvian corporations, including our subsidiaries, may be jointly and severally liable for any unpaid Peruvian capital gains tax related to the transfer of shares issued by their foreign holding company.
In accordance with Peruvian income tax laws and regulations, in the case of the direct or indirect transfer by a non-Peruvian resident of shares issued by a Peruvian corporation, the Peruvian corporation whose shares were directly or indirectly transacted will be jointly liable with the non-Peruvian transferor for any unpaid capital gain tax obligations (plus accrued interest and penalties) arising from such sale/purchase, if during any of the 12 months preceding the transaction, inter alia, (i) the non-Peruvian transferor held an indirect or direct interest of more than 10% in the equity of the Peruvian corporation that issued the shares being directly or indirectly transferred, or (ii) the non-Peruvian transferor and the Peruvian corporation that issued the shares being transferred consolidate financial statements , or (iii) the non-Peruvian transferor and Peruvian corporation have had common directors / managers / or administrators that have power of decision in the financial, operational or commercial agreements, or (iv) the non-Peruvian transferor has dominant influence on the decisions of the administrative bodies of the Peruvian corporation, or vice versa. If such a transfer were to occur and the resulting Peruvian capital gains tax were not paid by the transferor, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
| ITEM 4. | INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY |
| A. | History and Development of the Company |
Our legal name is Intercorp Financial Services Inc. and we are organized as a corporation (sociedad anónima) under the laws of Panama since 2006. Our principal executive offices are located at Av. Carlos Villarán 140, 5th Floor, Urbanización Santa Catalina, La Victoria, Lima 13, Peru. Our telephone number is +(511) 615-9011. Our website is www.ifs.com.pe.
We are the majority owner and controlling shareholder of our subsidiaries, Interbank, Interseguro, Inteligo and Izipay, which comprise our banking, insurance, wealth management and payments segments, respectively. We are responsible for coordinating, supervising and establishing their strategy and management policies. In 2007, we conducted an initial public offering of our common shares publicly in Peru and privately outside of Peru. Our parent company is Intercorp Peru, a holding company for a group of companies operating mainly in Peru under the name “Intercorp”. Intercorp Peru’s main subsidiaries include our company and Intercorp Retail. Intercorp Retail acts as a holding company for the retail and real estate operations of Intercorp Peru in Peru. As of December 31, 2023, Intercorp Peru owned, directly and indirectly, 71.44% of IFS’ capital stock (including treasury stock).
39
Interbank is an open-stock corporation (sociedad anónima abierta). Interbank was incorporated in Lima, Peru in 1897 and formerly conducted business under the names “Banco Internacional del Perú S.A.” and “Interbank”. In August 1994, as part of the government’s privatization efforts, 91% of Interbank’s share capital was acquired by Corporación Interbank, which subsequently transferred its holdings in Interbank to Intercorp Peru, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas. After Interbank’s acquisition by Intercorp Peru in 1994, Interbank began conducting business under the name “Interbank” as part of a rebranding and modernization effort, and has become a leading universal bank in Peru. As of December 31, 2023, IFS held 99.30% of the capital stock of Interbank.
Interseguro is a corporation (sociedad anónima) that was incorporated in 1998 by Intercorp Peru, pursuant to an agreement between Intercorp Peru and The Bankers Trust Company (“Bankers Trust”) (at the time the controlling shareholder of Consorcio Nacional de Seguros S.A., the largest insurer in Chile) to benefit from the expansion of the insurance business in Peru. In connection with the sale of Bankers Trust to Deutsche Bank AG in 1999, Bankers Trust’s interest in Interseguro was sold to a group of Chilean investors, and in 2000 Intercorp Peru acquired the portion of Interseguro that it did not own.
On May 31, 2017, we entered into a share purchase agreement with Sura Asset Management Company (“SUAM”) and “Grupo Wiese” to acquire 100% of the capital stock of Seguros Sura S.A. (“Seguros Sura”) and Hipotecaria Sura Empresa Administradora Hipotecaria S.A. (“Hipotecaria Sura”) (the “Sura Acquisition”) for an initial base price of U.S.$268 million. The transaction became effective on November 2, 2017 and the approval by SBS was granted on September 28, 2017. This merger consolidated Interseguro’s leadership in the annuities market, as well as strengthened its position in credit life insurance.
Inteligo was incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Panama in 2006. Inteligo Bank is a corporation that was incorporated in 1995 in The Bahamas and formerly conducted business under the names of Interbank Overseas Ltd. and Blubank Ltd. Inteligo SAB is a corporation (sociedad anónima) that started operations in 1993. On July 18, 2014, the board of directors of IFS approved the acquisition of Inteligo, effective on August 1, 2014. This reorganization entailed the acquisition of 100% of Intercorp Peru’s shares in Inteligo by IFS in exchange for 19.5 million IFS common shares. Inteligo SAB is organized under the laws of Peru, and is licensed by the SMV to operate in Peru and conduct brokerage, custody, portfolio management and advisory services.
Interfondos is a corporation (sociedad anónima) that started operations in 1994. It is organized under the laws of Peru and is licensed by the SMV to operate in Peru and conduct mutual funds and investment funds management services.
In January 2019, we announced the consolidation of our wealth management activities at Inteligo by transferring Interbank’s mutual funds subsidiary, Interfondos, to Inteligo, where asset management is the core business.
In July 2019 we, together with Interbank, Intercorp Peru and a non-related shareholder conducted a SEC-registered initial public offering as a result of which IFS sold 1,150,000 newly-issued common shares and 2,418,754 treasury common shares (including shares sold by Interbank), Intercorp Peru sold 2,531,246 common shares and the non-related shareholder sold 3,000,000 common shares. In addition, the underwriters partially exercised their option to purchase 1,350,000 additional shares, which resulted in the purchase of 1,186,841 newly-issued common shares.
While Interbank has owned 50% of PMP and its subsidiary Izipay for more than a decade, in April 2022, we acquired the remaining 50% ownership interest of PMP and its subsidiary Izipay, consolidating such subsidiaries into our corporate group and creating our payments segment.
Since 2008, we have delivered returns for our shareholders supported by a strong bottom-line generation. In 2022, we paid U.S.$202.0 million in dividends based on 2021 results. In 2021, we paid U.S.$88.9 million in dividends based on 2020 results. Furthermore, in November 2021, IFS agreed to distribute U.S.$75.0 million in extraordinary dividends, which were paid in December 2021 and based on retained earnings. In 2023, we paid U.S.$136.2 million in dividends based on 2022 results. In April 2024, we will pay U.S.$ 115.4 million in dividends based on 2023 results. In addition, our market capitalization has increased from U.S.$1.2 billion in 2007 to U.S.$2.5 billion as of December 31, 2023, based on a price of U.S.$21.95 per share, as reported by the NYSE on the same date.
On March 31, 2023, IFS’ shareholders have approved the creation of a share repurchase program for an amount of up to U.S.$100 million of our common shares. For details on the repurchases, see “Item 16E – Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers.”
We also continue to make significant digital and physical infrastructure capital expenditure investments in our different segments. For a description of our capital expenditures, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Expenditures Program”.

| B. | Business Overview |
Overview
IFS is a leading provider of banking, insurance, wealth management services and payments for retail customers and commercial clients in Peru. Our purpose is to empower all Peruvians to achieve financial well-being. We have built a financial platform that is very focused on areas with a unique combination of our own key capabilities, coupled with potential for growth and profitability. We strive to (i) become the leading digital financial platform to provide profitable solutions with a clear strategic focus on key businesses, (ii) provide the best digital experience based on operational excellence and (iii) develop analytics, AI capabilities and the best talent as our competitive advantage.We manage our business in four segments, banking, insurance, wealth management, and payments, which complement each other and represent diversified sources of revenue. Our banking segment operates through our subsidiary Interbank, which is the second largest provider of consumer loans in Peru, according to the SBS. Interbank provides a full range of retail banking and commercial banking products, and services to individuals, large companies, and small and medium enterprises. Our insurance segment operates through our subsidiary Interseguro, which is the leading provider of annuities in Peru by premiums and one of the leading life insurance companies in the country according to the SBS. Interseguro provides a wide range of retirement, savings, life, unemployment and other insurance products mainly to retail customers. Our wealth management segment operates mainly through our subsidiaries Inteligo Bank, Inteligo SAB and Interfondos, which together provide wealth management, private banking, financing, brokerage, advisory and other investment services mainly to high-net-worth individuals. Finally, with our acquisition of the remaining 50% ownership interest of PMP and its subsidiary Izipay in April 2022, we have created our payments segment, through which we provide an end-to-end digital ecosystem of financial services and technology solutions to enable consumers, individual entrepreneurs, micro-merchants, small and medium-sized enterprises (SME), in Peru, make and process payments in a safe, seamless, digital, mobile first and affordable manner.
As of December 31, 2023, Interbank’s digital platform and distribution network provide to its 6.1 million customers, as well a potential market of more than 33.7 million Peruvians (total population of Peru), including an employed population of 17.2 million and 3.3 million businesses, with access to its products and services and a distinctive and convenient customer experience.
Our key strategic priority is to achieve digital excellence for our customers by providing them with a world-class, flexible and secure digital platform. We believe our digital transformation is vital to our continued growth and profitability, and for this reason we have been investing in developing the capabilities necessary to offer digital products and services to our customers. We aim to allow our customers to have a 100% digital relationship with us in an efficient and secure manner. We have also streamlined our physical presence by reducing the number of branches by approximately 47% since its peak in 2016, focusing on educating our customers in the use of our digital platform. We have substantially increased migration of low-value-added transactions to more efficient digital channels, and we have increased sales of products to existing customers, as well as increased new customer acquisition of which 53% are being acquired digitally or “born-digital” as of December 31, 2023.

| (2) | Dividends are declared and paid in U.S. dollars. Except for declaration and payment of extraordinary dividends, dividends declared for fiscal year 2023 will be paid in 2024, dividends declared in 2022 and 2021 were paid in 2023 and 2022, respectively; and amounted to U.S.$136.2 million and U.S.$202.0 million, respectively. See “Item 8. Financial Information—Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information—Dividends and dividends policy”. |
| (3) | Amounts stated in U.S. dollars as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 have been translated from soles at the exchange rate of S/ S/3.709 = U.S.$1.00. |
| (4) | Our consolidated financial information for 2022 was restated as a result of the first adoption of IFRS 17. We have not restated the comparative financial information for 2021 which is presented on an IFRS 4 basis, as previously reported. See Note 3.2 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements. |
As of December 31, 2023, we had total assets of S/89.6 billion (approximately U.S.$ 24.2 billion), total gross loans of S/48.2 billion (approximately U.S.$ 13.0 billion), total deposits and obligations of S/49.2 billion (approximately U.S.$ 13.3 billion) and shareholders’ equity of S/10.0 billion (approximately U.S.$ 2.7 billion).
For the year ended December 31, 2023, our consolidated net profit was S/1,079.3 million as compared to S/1,678.1 million in 2022. Net profit deteriorated in 2023 mainly due to an increase of more than two-fold in impairment loss on loans, net of recoveries and 4.7% in other expenses. We operate the following four business segments:
| • | Banking: Interbank is the second largest provider of consumer loans (retail loans other than mortgages) in Peru with a 22.2% market share in terms of total gross consumer loans outstanding as of December 31, 2023, according to the SBS. Interbank is the largest provider (among non-government owned banks) of payroll deduction loans to public sector employees with a 21.7% market share as of December 31, 2023, according to the SBS. Additionally, it is the second largest bank in Peru in terms of total consumer loans, the third in total deposit and the fourth in terms of outstanding retail mortgages, commercial lending and total assets, according to the SBS. Interbank has built one of the most convenient and extensive retail banking distribution networks in Peru including: online banking, mobile applications, 153 financial stores, 1,666 ATMs and 7,163 correspondent agents (including its external network of agents), as of December 31, 2023. Moreover, Interbank has developed state-of-the-art and user-friendly digital platforms to better serve its client’s needs. |
As of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, Interbank represented 76.4% of our total assets.
For the 2023 fiscal year, Interbank declared a dividend of S/405.2 million (or, approximately U.S.$ 109.2 million) of which S/402.4 million (or, approximately U.S.$ 108.5 million) will be paid to IFS, which represents 69.4% of total dividends to be received by IFS.
With a significant focus on the emerging middle class, Interbank has a higher percentage of retail loans, which account for 56.0% of its total loan portfolio, compared to the banking system of 39.1% as of December 31, 2023.
Interbank’s CAGR in gross loans, and deposits and obligations between 2019 and 2023 was 6.6% and 6.7%, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2023, Interbank reported a profit of S/856.1 million attributed to the increases of impairment loss on loans, which was partially offset by increases of 12.6% in net interest and 2.0% in net fee income from financial services. For the year ended December 31, 2023, Interbank’s ROE was 11.2%.
| • | Insurance: Interseguro is the leading provider of annuities (excluding private annuities) in Peru, with a 27.9% market share as measured by total premiums collected during 2023, according to the SBS, and is one of the leading life insurance companies in Peru. In addition, Interseguro offers private annuities and individual life insurance, as well as low premium retail insurance products, including credit life, mandatory traffic accident insurance (“SOAT”), car insurance and credit card protection insurance, through a comprehensive multi-channel distribution platform which includes Interseguro’s sales force, which is a key component of Interseguro’s sales. Interseguro also distributes through Interbank, brokers and its own digital channels. |
According to the SBS, in 2023, Interseguro was the largest insurance company measured by long term reserves, driven both by organic growth and the acquisition of Seguros Sura in November 2017, which both improved its ROE and doubled its asset size.
As of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, Interseguro represented 17.0% of our total assets.
For the 2023 fiscal year, Interseguro declared a dividend of S/150.0 million (or, approximately U.S.$40.4 million), which represents 25.9% of total dividends to be received by IFS. For the year ended December 31, 2023, Interseguro’s net profit was S/315.1 million and its ROE was 25.6%.
42
| • | Wealth management: Inteligo is a provider of wealth management services, which includes banking, financing, brokerage and investing activities for high-net-worth individuals through three operating subsidiaries: Inteligo Bank, Inteligo SAB (brokerage) and Interfondos (mutual funds). |

For the 2023 fiscal year, Inteligo declared a dividend of U.S.$ 7.5 million, which represents 4.8% of total dividends to be received by IFS.
Inteligo’s CAGR in assets under management was 6.1% between 2019 and 2023. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2023, Inteligo’s net profit was S/36.2 million and ROE was 4.0%.

Market Opportunity
We believe that the potential growth of the Peruvian economy, the expanding middle class, the growth of private wealth creation in Peru, the low penetration of financial services and the well-capitalized and profitable Peruvian financial system offer significant opportunities to accelerate our digital transformation and growth in deposits and loans, enabling us to efficiently acquire and serve more clients, while providing distinctive and convenient customer service and greater access and inclusion to financial services to previously underserved Peruvians.
Solid macroeconomic fundamentals
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic led to a GDP contraction of 10.9% in 2020 in Peru (compared to contractions of 7.3% in Colombia, 6.1% in Chile, 8.7% in Mexico, 3.3% in Brazil, 7.8% in Ecuador, 6.3% in Uruguay, 0.8% in Paraguay, 8.7% in Bolivia and 9.9% in Argentina). Peru’s GDP growth rate was 13.4% in 2021 (compared to growth rates of 11.0% in Colombia, 11.7% in Chile, 5.8% in Mexico, 5.0% in Brazil, 4.2% in Ecuador, 5.3% in Uruguay, 4.0% in Paraguay, 6.1% in Bolivia and 10.7% in Argentina). In 2022, Peru’s GDP increased 2.7% (compared to growth rates of 7.3% in Colombia, 2.4% in Chile, 3.9% in Mexico, 2.9% in Brazil, 2.2% in Ecuador, 4.9% in Uruguay, 0.1% in Paraguay, 3.5% in Bolivia and 5.0% in Argentina). For the year ended December 31, 2023, Peru’s GDP contracted by 0.6% (compared to growth rates of 0.6% in Colombia, 2.9% in Brazil, and 3.2% in Mexico).
The Peruvian government’s prudent management of the economy, conservative fiscal policy, coupled with the Central Reserve Bank of Peru’s cautious management of inflation and international reserves have contributed to economic development, increased internal consumption and strong macroeconomic fundamentals, including low levels of public debt, low inflation, low fiscal deficit and high levels of international reserves. However, 2022 continued to be characterized by global inflationary pressures that have resulted in an inflation rate above the Central Reserve Bank of Peru’s target and led to higher inflation expectations for 2023. During 2023, the tightening of monetary policy resulted in a trend of lower inflation, and Peru had a rate of 3.2% for inflation during the year. In its most recent forecast as of December 22, 2023, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru has estimated for Peru a 2.3% inflation rate for 2024 and a real GDP growth of 3.0% for 2024.
Nevertheless, Peru’s strong track record of macroeconomic policy credibility, consistency and ability to adapt to changes has helped it to achieve investment grade ratings of Baa1 by Moody’s Investor Service (“Moody’s”), BBB by Fitch Ratings Ltd. (“Fitch”) and BBB by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (“S&P”) as of December 31, 2022. However, in December 2022 and January 2023, S&P, Fitch and Moody’s have changed Peru’s credit outlook to negative from stable due to higher political risk.
46
Evolution of the middle class and affluent population
The core of our customer base is Peru’s middle class and affluent population. According to the World Bank, GDP per capita in U.S. dollars has grown from U.S.$5,194 in 2010 to U.S.$7,125 in 2019 but retreated to U.S.$6,304 in 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, 2022 showed a recovery to U.S.$7,125, according to the World Bank.
For 2023, Peru had a total population of 33.7 million according to the Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Investigación (INEI), and according to the Asociación Peruana de Empresas de Investigación de Mercados (APEIM), Peru’s middle and upper socioeconomic segments (segments A, B and C) have remained stable representing 42.1% of the population by 2023, compared to 42% in 2010. This information however may be impacted by the current challenging economic conditions in Peru during 2023. We believe that a growing middle class and affluent population creates a greater need for financial services, particularly for increasingly sophisticated banking. These growing socioeconomic segments in the long term support growth and profitability across our business.
Low financial services penetration
We believe that growth potential in Peru’s financial services sector continues to be significant. Despite the sustained recent growth of 5.2% CAGR in total gross loans between 2019 and 2023, banking penetration in Peru, measured as the ratio of loans-to-GDP, was 35.0% as of December 31, 2023, according to the SBS and the Central Reserve Bank of Peru. This represents a decline over the 38.0% registered as of December 31, 2022 and is mainly explained by the base effect resulting from lower balances of Reactiva Perú loans in 2023 as compared to 2022. Similarly, according to industry sources, insurance penetration in Peru, measured as the ratio of premiums-to-GDP as of December 31, 2023, is estimated to be 2.0%, which is lower than the average ratio of 3.0% for the group of peer countries in Latin America, and less than the ratio of 3.8% for Chile.
Well-capitalized financial system
As a result of sound regulation and prudent management, the Peruvian financial system is well-capitalized, according to figures published by the SBS. Gross loans in the Peruvian banking system (measured in soles) have grown at a CAGR of 5.2% between December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2023, while the system’s asset quality has remained within healthy levels with a ratio of past-due loans as a percentage of total gross loans of 4.3% and a ratio of impairment provisions for loans as a percentage of past-due loans of 2.9% as of December 31, 2023, according to the SBS. Capitalization of the Peruvian banking system has consistently been well above regulatory requirements with a total capital ratio of 16.4% as of December 31, 2023, according to the SBS. Interbank’s capitalization ratio was 15.5% and Interseguro’s regulatory solvency ratio was 127.1%, according to the SBS as of December 31, 2023. Furthermore, Peru’s banking industry has been historically profitable, with a 14.4% ROE for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Development of new technologies and distribution channels
There are many technological trends currently impacting the financial services industry worldwide. For example, the penetration of cell phones, Internet and the 5G mobile network, the ability to process large quantities of data through big data, cloud and machine learning, and the opportunity to utilize robotics and artificial intelligence. As a result, many large banks have started digital transformations with large increases in their level of technological investments and are working on developing their product offerings.
Due to improved technology, banks are now able to offer a better value proposition to their customers that include better solutions with features in our digital platforms tailored to the customer’s needs, contextual banking (whereby the customer is offered a connected banking experience, including tailored product offerings), enhanced 24-hour customer support and access and faster approval and response times, all at a lower per capita cost. Additionally, banks are now able to reach a broader base of customers both in terms of income levels and geographic locations and will be able to gradually offer them more products and services and make them a part of the banked segment of the Peruvian population, which constitutes a very important growth opportunity in the country.
Competitive Strengths
We have established a premier financial group with leading market positions in each of our primary business segments. We believe that our market share, focus on targeted and profitable segments, scale and highly recognized and trusted brands, combined with adoption of innovative technologies, a well-structured digital platform and increasing integration across our business segments, strongly position us to capitalize on the future expansion of the Peruvian economy.
47
Leading financial services provider focused on retail customers and highly attractive businesses
We target retail customers and growing and profitable businesses in Peru. We have highly recognized and trusted brands in each of our segments, such as Interbank in banking, Interseguro in insurance, Inteligo in wealth management and Izipay in payments. Within our banking segment, Interbank focuses primarily on retail banking, where we believe we can obtain higher profitability, with 56.0% of its loan portfolio constituting retail loans, compared to 39.1% for the Peruvian banking system, as of December 31, 2023, according to the SBS. Interbank is the second largest provider of consumer loans among banks in Peru, with a 22.2% market share as measured by gross consumer loans as of December 31, 2023, compared with 24.7% for BCP, 14.5% for Scotiabank and 16.8% for BBVA. Interbank is also the largest privately-owned bank provider of payroll deduction loans to public sector employees, with a 21.7% market share by payroll deduction loans, in each case as of December 31, 2023.
We believe that our focus on the retail market has allowed Interbank to obtain a higher profitable business than the banking system on average. This higher profitability is driven by a balanced consumer loan portfolio where two of our most profitable products are credit cards and payroll deduction loans. Interbank has the highest net interest margins when compared to the three largest banks in Peru, due to its higher weighting in retail banking and consumer loans when compared to its peers. Low delinquency rates on our payroll deduction loans reduce the overall credit risk exposure of our consumer loans portfolio.
Interbank’s gross financial margin to average earning assets was 5.5% as of December 31, 2023, 60 basis points higher than December 31, 2022. Interbank’s commercial banking business serves a range of clients spanning large corporates, mid-corporates and small-sized and medium-sized companies (“SMEs”). Interbank continues to focus on increasing our market share in mid-corporates and SMEs while maintaining our large corporate business with a profit-oriented approach. We believe that these segments will continue to provide additional growth opportunities in the coming years. Moreover, Interbank’s overall commercial loan portfolio provides us with a lower risk component that balances its total loan portfolio.
We believe that Interseguro provides us with a fast-growing and profitable business. In our insurance segment, Interseguro is the leading provider of annuities in Peru, despite the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic and political uncertainty in Peru during the last three years, with a market share of total annuities (excluding private annuities) of 27.9% as measured by premiums collected for the year ended December 31, 2023, according to the SBS. We focus on the middle class and affluent population in Peru, a segment we believe is substantially underpenetrated in insurance services. During April 2016, the Peruvian Congress enacted a law that allowed retirees to withdraw up to 95.5% of their accumulated capital in cash in their mandatory pension account upon retirement, resulting in a significant reduction of retirement annuities sold by Peruvian insurance companies, including Interseguro. In this context, in order to keep its position as a leading provider in annuities, in 2016, Interseguro launched its private annuities product which allows retirees to receive a fixed income either for life or a fixed period. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, most of the customers of private annuities and their funds originate from retirees who choose to buy a product from an insurance company rather than from a private pension fund. Interseguro is also a leading provider of life insurance and we believe this market provides an additional opportunity for growth. Finally, the company’s digital channels are taking a leading role inside the company’s structure.
Within our wealth management segment, we believe Inteligo is well positioned to capture an increasing share of the number of high-net-worth clients. Inteligo’s CAGR in assets under management was 6.1% between December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2023. We believe that both Inteligo’s position as a provider of tailored wealth management services and its ability to provide its customers with both local and international investment products will help increase its share of wallet among high-net-worth individuals, while delivering high levels of growth and profitability.
Within our payments segment, we believe Izipay is built on a strong foundation designed to drive growth and differentiate us from our competitors. We believe that our competitive strengths include (i) our payments platform connecting merchants and consumers enables Izipay to offer unique end-to-end product experiences while gaining valuable insights into how customers use our platform as well as providing for digital and POS transactions while being both technology and platform agnostic; (ii) our national scale which helps us to drive organic growth, as shown by the increase of total merchant in Peru from 0.7 million in April 2022, when Izipay became our consolidated subsidiary, to 1.3 million as of December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2023, Izipay processed S/57.3 billion in monetary transactions; and (iii) the building and strengthening of the brand Izipay.
Track record of sustained growth supported by our strong and growing market share and high profitability
Our strong track record of growth is supported by our increased market share, improvements in efficiency, and high profitability across our business segments. At Interbank, we have gained significant market share over the years. Our market share in total gross loans has increased from 9.4% in 2007, 11.1% in 2015, to 13.3% in 2023, while our market share in total deposits has grown from 9.3% in 2007, 12.1% in 2015, to 13.5% in 2023. Interbank is focused primarily on retail banking because it believes that it presents significant growth opportunities and higher profitability. In retail banking, Interbank’s outstanding retail loans, including consumer and mortgage loans, increased 7.9% between December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023, as compared to the 6.3%

increase registered for the Peruvian banking system, according to the SBS. Interbank’s market share was 22.2% in consumer loans in December 2023, the second largest in the market. In the same period, Interbank has held a strong position across retail products, with market share of 18.8% and 19.1% of total retail loans in Peru as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023, respectively, according to the SBS. With respect to mortgage loans in Peru, Interbank’s market share increased from 15.4% as of December 31, 2022 to 15.5% as of December 31, 2023, according to the SBS. Interbank’s annualized ROE for the year ended December 31, 2023 was 11.2% and its annualized ROA for the year ended December 31, 2023 was 1.3% below the banking system. As a result of the economic impact of the pandemic, in addition to public health measures, the Peruvian government adopted measures to generate monetary and fiscal stimulus and alleviate the financial stress on households and companies, including the provisions for partial withdrawals from CTS accounts, as well as partial withdrawals from the pension fund accounts, loan rescheduling measures and a S/60 billion credit guarantee program (“Reactiva Perú”). In this context, our participation in the Reactiva Perú program allowed us to start new business relationships with clients from the mid-corporate and SME segments. Although from 2019 to 2023 the commercial banking division at Interbank also grew faster than the Peruvian banking system, Interbank’s as repayment of Reactiva loans accelerated in line with the economic recovery, our outstanding commercial loans declined 1.9% between December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023, as compared to the 6.1% decrease registered for the system, according to the SBS.
Interseguro’s positioning in the industry increased, with market shares in annuities by premiums (excluding private annuities) of 22.7% in 2007, 24.5% in 2015 and 27.9% in 2023. Additionally, during the past five years Interseguro’s market share in the individual life insurance policies in Peru has grown from 10.3% in 2019 to 17.4% in 2023. During the period spanning from 2019 to 2023, Interseguro’s ROE averaged 22.5% compared to 17.4% for the Peruvian insurance industry, both according to the SBS. Interseguro’s ROE was 25.6% for the year ended December 31, 2023, according to the SBS.
Inteligo’s assets under management grew at a CAGR of 6.1% between 2019 and 2023. Similarly, net profit declined between December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2023, due to negative mark-to-market valuation of the proprietary portfolio. Inteligo’s ROE averaged 5.7% for the three-year period ended December 31, 2023. Inteligo’s ROE was 4.0% for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Izipay’s total monetary transactions reached S/57.3 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023. Izipay is one of the leaders in the physical card payment business in Peru.
Digital financial services platform with rapidly increasing levels of adoption
Interbank is working hard to reshape the banking space in Peru, creating a new digital experience driven on convenience and simplicity. Although Interbank believes physical channels are still necessary in an underpenetrated financial system like Peru’s, its digital platform has substantially increased its customers’ interactions with Interbank and provided it with new business opportunities to build on consumer loyalty and cross-sell services, as well as accelerate new customer acquisition and inclusion of previously underserved segments of the population, including individuals, entrepreneurs and micro-business.
Interbank’s agile digital solutions framework has allowed it to effectively capture the opportunities resulting from increased digitalization and changes in consumer behavior since the COVID-19 pandemic. Interbank has a broad and evolving offering of digital products and services for existing and new clients, enabling them to get the products and services they want, when they want them, and how they want them. In 2021, we launched digital payments and credit solutions such as the capability to pay with quick response codes (“QR Codes”) and access credit card information for online purchases, as well as the ability to apply and obtain personal loans and credit cards directly through Interbank’s mobile application.
Interbank believes its digital platform is one of its competitive advantages and it has driven an increase in its market share. The migration of customer interaction from physical channels, like financial stores and contact centers to digital channels, continued to grow in 2023. In December 2023, 90.2% of the customers who interacted with Interbank did so digitally, up from 87.3% in December 2022. Similarly, as of December 31, 2023, we have identified 2.5 million customers as digital customers, as compared to 2.2 million customers or an increase of 14.9% compared to 2022. Furthermore, digital customer acquisition, or clients that were ‘born digital’, reached approximately 48,300 users as of December 31, 2023, or 53% of new individual retail clients, while self-service transactions increased from 77.3% in 2022 to 82.2% in 2023.
In line with our digital strategy, our digital sales accounted for 63.0% and 63.6% of total sales that took place in the months of December 2023 and December 2022, respectively. Similarly, digital credit card sales, accounted for 37.2% and 30.8% of total credit card sales in the months of December 2023 and December 2022, respectively. Digital saving accounts sales have also experienced an upward and sustained trend, representing 71.7% and 69.1% of total saving accounts sales in the months of December 2023 and December 2022, respectively. Likewise, the number of digital self-service retail customers increased significantly, representing 82.2% of our total customers as of December 2023, compared to 77.3% as of December 2022.

In commercial banking, Interbank developed its digital capabilities for SME and corporate clients, by (a) enhancing our value-added proposition and features in its digital platforms and (b) improving the performance and cybersecurity of its systems. Interbank also believe that the upgrades to core platforms for business banking during 2023 should enhance its performance and allow it to create and launch new products and features on a faster basis.
Moreover, in January 2020, Interbank, in collaboration with BBVA and Scotiabank, launched Plin, which consists of a shared directory to enable person to person (“P2P”) and person to microbusiness (“P2MB”) payments among enrolled customers of any of the participant institutions using the customers’ cellphone numbers or individual QR codes as identifiers. These payment capabilities are available in real time and 24/7 and make payments which are instantly available to the recipient of the payment. In 2023, the amount of total enrolled users in Plin grew from 9.8 million to 14.2 million. As of December 31, 2023, our share of Plin enrolled users increased from 44.6% to 46.0%.
The Central Reserve Bank of Peru has encouraged an integration of Plin with Yape, another digital wallet available in Peru, created by the Banco de Crédito del Peru. The first phase of interoperability among these digital wallets and among banks in Peru has started in April 2023, and it increased the payment capabilities between accounts of different digital wallets and their use by customers. The increase in interoperability assists the inclusion of more Peruvians into the financial system, reducing the use of cash, which continues to be high in Peru, while increasing the use of Interbank’s own payment solutions. The number of transactions operated by Interbank, has increased to 29.1 million in December of 2023 compared to 8.8 million in April of 2023 (pre-interoperability).
In 2021, Interbank accelerated the growth of Tunki, its mobile application targeting unbanked and underbanked consumers and micro-merchants focused on P2P and P2MB transactions In May 2023, Interbank combined Tunki with the payment solutions of Izipay to launch IzipayYa, a solution targeting micro-merchants with interoperable QR codes and same-day availability of cash. IzipayYa aims to be the preferred solution for merchants for their payment collections through a comprehensive value proposition designed specifically for this segment. As of December 31, 2023, the number of merchants Interbank serves with IzipayYa was 747 thousand compared to 554 thousand served by Tunki as of December 31, 2022.
In 2022 and 2023, Interbank focused on two key aspects of the business: (i) increasing the number of active clients (those that receive at least one payment during that month), and (ii) increasing the amount of funds in clients’ checking accounts thus increasing deposits and improving its revenue sources.
Pursuing Interbank’s first main goal, it focused not only on maintaining its fast growth, but also on growing its activities with the right kind of merchants, those that are more likely to remain active over time and receive a flow of income payments that allows Interbank to build up its revenue streams and reduce its acquisition costs. With that purpose in mind, Interbank built a simple, faster and secure onboarding either through digital acquisition or through physical channels, assisting merchants, service providers or other customers to accept digital payments. During 2022 and 2023, Interbank built a full funnel strategy to be ever present in the mind of its target customers, which included, among other initiatives, the creation of a social media content strategy, mainly in form of short videos (reels), that keep its audience engaged.
During 2023, in order to increase the number of active clients, Interbank also implemented artificial intelligence-based models in order to predict the kind of merchants that would be more likely to use its payment solutions.
Pursuing Interbank’s second goal of increasing deposits, it focused on streamlining its tools and systems, aiming at the simple use of money by its clients. In 2022, Interbank trimmed certain features of its app, emphasizing its most relevant features, particularly those related to digital wallets. As a result, Interbank noted that its merchant clients increasingly used funds for digital payments (Plin), instead of withdrawing it. In 2023, Interbank focused its product development efforts to meet demands that are specific to the merchant segments such as the universal QR code that accepts payments from all digital wallets in Peru. These actions boosted the balance in its digital wallets and commercial accounts.
Convenient and innovative nationwide omni-channel distribution network with a distinctive customer-oriented approach
We believe that Interbank’s convenient and innovative nationwide retail distribution network together with a dedicated sales force and financial advisors, allow it to better reach its customers, and this combination has differentiated Interbank from its competitors. Interbank has one of the most convenient and extensive retail banking distribution networks in Peru and is currently present in almost all of Peru’s regions. Its focus on digital transformation allows it to help its customers to interact with the bank in an easier and more efficient way and allows customers to migrate from the use of physical infrastructure to digital platforms. For instance, Interbank has shifted monetary transactions operated through its branches to digital channels. Total monetary transactions have been increasing at a CAGR of 20.2% from 2019 to 2023 driven by monetary transactions through Interbank’s mobile and internet banking channels, which have increased at a 53.7% CAGR for the corresponding period, even though monetary transactions through its financial stores have been decreasing at a CAGR of 21.3% from 2019 to 2023. Interbank believes this optimization of its distribution footprint has enabled it to reach its clients more efficiently, allowing them to perform transactions when and how they want to, at lower marginal costs for Interbank.

Interbank has built a convenient omni-channel distribution network in Peru, serving over 6.1 million customers. As of December 31, 2023, Interbank had 153 financial stores and operated one of the largest ATM network in Peru with 1,666 ATMs, which includes one of the largest out-of-branch ATM network (under its Global Net brand). Interbank has the largest number of financial stores inside supermarkets in Peru. Moreover, with the intention of providing underserved customers with more convenient services, Interbank operates a network of correspondent agents, called Interbank Agentes. The correspondent agent concept consists of providing third-party commercial establishments with low-cost electronic terminals which allow Interbank’s customers to perform basic cash-based operations such as cash withdrawals, credit card and bill payments, and deposits at a lower marginal cost to Interbank relative to transactions performed in its financial stores. As of December 31, 2023, Interbank had 7,163 correspondent agents (including its external network).
Since 2013 and in line with Interbank’s strategy, it has implemented a profitability model for financial stores and ATMs which ranks them according to certain profitability metrics relevant to each distribution channel. This has allowed Interbank to identify the less profitable units in order to close them and to prioritize new openings in more strategic locations with higher demand for value-added financial services. As a result, the number of financial stores has decreased by 44% to 153 as of December 31, 2023 from 272 in 2017, while the productivity of financial stores, measured as the volume of retail deposits sold per branch, has increased. Likewise, Interbank’s market share in retail deposits by individuals grew from 12.6% as of December 31, 2017 to 15.1% as of December 31, 2023. Additionally, the number of ATMs has decreased to 1,666 as of December 31, 2023 from 2,052 as of December 31, 2017.
Interseguro offers and sells its annuities and individual life insurance products through its own dedicated sales force to ensure the delivery of high-quality service and advice to customers. Interseguro’s specialized sales force is trained to provide a differentiated service for various customer types. As of December 31, 2023, Interseguro employed 87 agents exclusively dedicated to selling annuities and 619 agents to selling life insurance products. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Interseguro retooled its sales force to provide customers with a 100% remote assistance and digital operation. Prior to the pandemic, sales in annuities and life insurance products were only conducted in-person, but digitalization of these sales was accelerated.
In addition to its own sales force, Interseguro leverages on the retail distribution capabilities of Interbank and those of Intercorp and of Intercorp Retail to offer simple low-cost premium insurance products, such SOAT, travel insurance, life insurance, card protection, credit protection and low-cost health insurance.
Inteligo has developed a proprietary financial advisory model that has been a key pillar in sustaining its growth. The model considers the financial objectives of its customers and emphasizes risk analysis and continuous monitoring with portfolio rebalancing. Along with this, Inteligo has been able to successfully serve its customer base in order to deliver tailored products and advice.
Izipay has built and developed a well-recognized trusted brand. Izipay’s communication and marketing efforts play an important role in building brand visibility, usage and overall preference among customers. Also, Interbank’s and Intercorp Retail existing clients represent a sizable opportunity to cross-sell products and services with relatively low incremental marketing and advertising expenses for those entities. We believe that Izipay’s range of services, many of which can be used for both business and personal needs, represents an opportunity to further increase engagement with its existing clients. Our subsidiaries plan to continually invest in product development to maintain and increase the attractiveness of their products and services.
Prudent risk management resulting in high asset quality, strong liquidity and high investment returns
Risk management has been and will continue to be a primary focus of our operations and at the center of our culture. Our experienced risk management teams focus on monitoring and managing risks across all business areas, including credit, market, liquidity and operational risks, among others. We believe our risk management expertise has allowed us to achieve strong asset quality and high investment returns. Our prudent management has allowed us to build up sufficient capital to allow us to grow strategically, invest in opportunities and pay dividends to our shareholders.
Interbank’s underwriting procedures are based on strong analytics and proprietary models. Additionally, Interbank’s investments in technology and improvements in its ability to process and apply data have enriched its risk models and enhanced their accuracy and predictiveness. Interbank’s credit risk policies are approved by its risk committee and board of directors. The deterioration of the macroeconomic conditions in Peru in 2023, particularly in the second half of the year, has led to higher provision requirements as well as lower provision recoveries, an increase in non-performing loans and a slowdown in the origination of new loans due to more stringent lending requirements that Interbank has put in place. Interbank’s loan provisions have also been impacted amidst higher risk in consumer loans as confirmed by expert judgment. During the last two years, the expert judgement for the constitution of provisions considered the possible impact of the “El Niño” event and the political and economic uncertainty in Peru in
51
such analysis. However, despite Interbank’s concentration in retail loans, which tend to have higher levels of delinquency, Interbank’s past-due loans as a percentage of total gross loans ratio as of December 31, 2023 was 3.5%, lower than the 4.5% average of the three largest banks in Peru. As of December 31, 2023, Interbank’s past-due loans coverage ratio was 148.7%, as compared to the average for the Peruvian banking system of 144.6%, according to the SBS.
Interbank’s total capital ratio, which is calculated as its regulatory capital divided by its risk-weighted assets, was the third compared to the other three largest banks as of December 31, 2023. As of that date, Interbank’s total capital ratio stood at 15.5% as compared to 16.4% for the Peruvian banking system, according to the SBS. The minimum total capital ratio required by Peruvian banking regulations was 9.0% as of December 31, 2023 In addition, financial institutions must meet additional capital requirements related to conservation, economic cycle and market concentration risk buffers and an additional capital requirement which depends on certain levels of loan concentration in each institution (individual, sectorial and geographical). Interbank’s total additional capital requirement for buffers and additional risks amounted to 2.1% as of December 31, 2023, with a total requirement of 11.1%, well below Interbank’s total capital ratio of 15.5%. Additionally, Interbank’s core equity (“Tier 1”) ratio was 11.8% as of December 31, 2023, above the regulatory requirement. As part of the implementation of the Basel III standards, the SBS has issued several regulations to increase gradually the minimum total capital ratio for financial institutions in Peru until 2026, and Interbank expects to be in compliance with such regulations.
Interseguro’s investment team and its investment management approach have achieved a 6.36% investment return for the year ended December 31, 2023, while maintaining prudent levels of risk and following the SBS risk guidelines. In spite of the gradual reduction in global inflation, volatility in financial markets persisted. Accordingly, Interseguro’s investment strategy was focused on identifying and reducing potential risks in the portfolio and looking for assets of solid companies with strong credit metrics.
Inteligo’s lending services are offered through Inteligo Bank to complement its wealth management business. The decision to make loans to wealth management customers only results in Inteligo’s loan portfolio being fully collateralized by its customers’ assets. Regarding the management of capital, Inteligo Bank’s capitalization ratio, which is calculated as Inteligo Bank’s regulatory capital divided by its risk-weighted assets, was 17.4% as of December 31, 2023, above the minimum capitalization ratio required by the Central Bank of Bahamas of 12%.
Izipay demands a letter of guarantee from payment facilitators, so as to partially cover payment defaults. By doing so, Izipay prevents merchants that are listed by OFAC in its Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List, as well as any merchants that have breached competition, fraud or brand recognition rules enforced by the Peruvian Antitrust Authority (Instituto Nacional de Defensa de la Competencia y de la Protección de la Propiedad Intelectual – “Indecopi”) from signing up to its services.
Diversified funding base with strength in retail deposits
IFS has a competitive funding structure. We have access to diverse sources of funding, including deposits and debt securities placed in local and international capital markets. The majority of Interbank’s funding comes from low-cost customer deposits, which demonstrates its customers’ trust in the Interbank franchise and enables it to achieve attractive lending spreads. At Interbank, as of December 31, 2023, 78% of its total funding base was comprised of deposits. Interbank’s deposit base is broad and diversified, which provided Interbank with an average cost of funding of 3.9% for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2.4% for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Interbank has been a significant player in the Peruvian banking industry with a market share of demand, savings, and term deposits of 11.0%, 16.1%, and 13.4%, respectively, as of December 31, 2023, according to SBS. Moreover, our strategic focus on retail has allowed Interbank to gain market share in retail deposits over the years reaching 15.1% as of December 31, 2023 as compared to 12.8% as of December 31, 2016, providing Interbank with a healthy funding base.
Interbank’s competitive advantage in the retail segment, over the last two years, was attributable to an increase in its clients’ liquidity as a result of (i) partial cash withdrawals from deposits for severance indemnity (compensación por tiempos de servicio) systemwide and the private pension system, (ii) commercial deposits related to unused funds from the Reactiva Perú program, and (iii) the widespread adoption of a “savings” mindset, all as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Experienced management team with proven ability to foster a merit-based culture and a highly motivated work force
We believe that the strength of our senior and middle management team has enhanced and will continue to be a key driver of our successful business model. In order to achieve our transformational goals, we are introducing new capabilities required to excel in today’s world. We benefit from an experienced, diverse and talented management team. Most of the members of our senior management have held management positions with other major financial institutions in the United States, Latin America and Europe, bringing relevant knowledge and experience to our company.
52
We are focused on attracting, developing and retaining highly qualified personnel and believe that a merit-based culture that emphasizes teamwork enables us to maintain a motivated workforce that delivers high-quality service. Interbank is the only Peruvian company that has been chosen by the Peruvian Great Place to Work Institute as one of the 20 best places to work in Peru for the past 20 consecutive years. In the most recently available rankings, Interbank was ranked as follow: #3 Great Place to Work in Latin America (in 2022), #4 Great Place to Work in Peru in 2023, #5 Great Place to Work for women in Peru in 2023, #6 Great Place to Work for sustainable management in 2023, #2 Great Place to Work for millennials in Peru in 2022, #2 Great Place to Work from home in Peru in 2023, and #6 Great Place to Work for diversity and inclusion in Peru in 2022. Furthermore, Interbank achieved first place in Merco Talento 2023, a ranking that evaluates the capacity of attracting and retaining talent. Similarly, Interseguro was selected as the tenth best company to work for Peru in the large-size category (2023) by the Peruvian Great Place to Work Institute. Inteligo’s three subsidiaries located in Peru (Inteligo SAB, Inteligo Peru Holdings and Interfondos) participated together under the name “Inteligo Group Peru” and Inteligo Group Peru was selected as the ninth best company to work for in Peru in the category of companies with less than 250 employees in 2023. Inteligo Bank’s branch in Panama began participating in the Great Place to Work Institute survey in 2014 and since 2015 has been ranked among the top 10 companies in Panama. Similarly, Izipay, as a financial services and payments technology platform that enables digital payments and simplifies commerce experiences, competes for top talent in Peru and the region. We believe that a strong culture focused on employee experiences that enables advancement, learning, and individual career insights is essential to the successful acquisition, development, and retention of diverse talent. To that end, since its acquisition, we have implemented programs at Izipay focused on inclusive hiring practices, enriched virtual new hire experiences, individual coaching and mentorship programs, and ongoing learning opportunities.
Increasingly integrated business platform with synergy potential supported by a strong parent group
Since the introduction of our insurance, wealth management and payments operations alongside our banking operations, we have strived to share and leverage key resources and capabilities across all four segments, which has resulted in enhanced revenues.
Our banking operations remain our core competency that binds together all our operations, while our insurance and wealth management operations are expected to continue supporting our growth. We believe that our continuous efforts to better integrate our four segments, combined with our focus on digital transformation, our existing distribution channels, experience and knowledge of our customer base and the Peruvian market, is a significant competitive advantage.
Furthermore, our parent company, Intercorp Peru, is one of Peru’s largest economic conglomerates, with activities spanning financial services, retail, education and real estate, among others. In 2023 and 2022, Intercorp Peru’s businesses generated U.S.$10,400 million and U.S.$9,846 million in revenue, respectively. We believe that being part of this group gives us a competitive edge, because of the group’s deep knowledge of the Peruvian consumer, extensive focus and know-how in the Peruvian retail market, highly visible in-country presence and rapid decision-making capabilities. Intercorp provides significant synergy and cross-selling opportunities for IFS. For example, starting in 2018, we, jointly with Intercorp Peru, launched an effort to strengthen our presence and commercial efforts in seven of Peru’s main regions: Arequipa, Cusco, Trujillo, Chiclayo, Ica, Huancayo and Piura, by leveraging on Intercorp’s already established network.
Also, with the acquisition of the remaining 50% equity interest in Izipay in April 2022, we expanded our capacity to cross-sell products and services and benefit from synergies across all our segments, providing a unique value proposition to our customers.
Analytical excellence as a tool to become the company with the deepest knowledge of Peruvians
We aim to have the deepest understanding of Peruvians, both individuals and companies, as we believe that a deep knowledge of our current and potential customers’ characteristics and adapting to their behavior is important to better serve them, and to offer them the best solutions according to their needs and risk profile.
In order to keep strengthening our advanced analytical capabilities across all of our business segments, in the beginning of 2023 we implemented a centralized Analytics Center of Excellence (“ACoE”). This newly appointed team aims to establish a shared vision and strategy, best practices, talent development and governance around the use of data and analytics, as well as to promote a data-driven mindset throughout the organization.
Our analytics vision is to anticipate needs and offer solutions through personalized, real-time experiences for each customer and potential customer, at scale. We are building upon three pillars to execute our aspiration:
| • | Governed and easily available data in a hybrid data hub from diverse and non-traditional data sources that provide rich insights, dashboards for decision making and data streaming capabilities for timely activation. |
53
| • | Advanced analytics to anticipate preferences, needs and risk, including real-time decisioning. These analytical efforts include a special focus on better understanding the self-employed segment of the population, which constitute a significant opportunity for financial services given the current low penetration levels. We are working on alternative risk profile models for new customer acquisition. |
| • | Personalized and real time delivery of communications and campaigns through end-to-end contextual journey orchestration, allowing us to substantially improve our effectiveness and efficiency. |
Technological evolution is a key enabler to our strategy. We have well consolidated data infrastructure, including cloud-based services with automated and reusable variables, model processing, machine-learning operations (“MLOps”) and world class marketing technological tools for real-time data activation. Additionally, we are adopting what we consider to be market best practices to ensure compliance with the personal data privacy policy and we have bolstered our investments in cybersecurity as we believe it is fundamental to provide a secure platform to be able to continue with our digital transformation.
The ACoE is also focused on attracting and developing highly skilled transformational and analytical talent that will accelerate our journey towards becoming a fully data-driven organization. This involves designing and communicating an attractive value proposition for talent, as well as continuous upskilling and training.
We are confident that our focus on analytical excellence will allow us to better serve Peruvians and accelerate value-creation.
Attracting and retaining skilled workers with a unique values-based culture, focusing on the development of our employees.
At Interbank, organizational culture is based on the following six values: integrity, collaboration, courage, innovation, passion for service and sense of humor. These values give way to a work environment with a culture that inspires, sets it apart, and allows each employee to reinforce their sense of pride. Accompanied by a culture based on performance recognition, this makes Interbank recognized among the best Peruvian and Latin American companies in all our main segments by the Great Place to Work Institute and in the categories of women, diversity and inclusion. Also, for the second consecutive year, we achieved the 1st place in the Merco ranking of the best companies to attract and retain talent in Peru.
Interbank provides the necessary tools for its employees to become protagonists of their development, based on its “Evoluciona” model composed of three pillars: Experience (70%), Support (20%), and Learning (10%); seeking to provide the tools that allows employees to enhance their development. To implement initiatives to achieve these internal goals, such as opportunities, checkpoints, and learning tools based on the fronts of upskilling and reskilling under the pillars of Data, Digital, and Soft Skills, developing programs such as “Beca 23”, Interbank’s first Level Up reskilling program, Academies for Legal, Finance, Risk, MDC , and on the path to continue to cultivate a digital mindset, we combined our Analytics Expo with the “FerIA”, an event meant to showcase the AI initiatives deployed at Interbank.
Strategies
Our purpose is to empower all Peruvians to achieve financial well-being. By doing so, we believe that we can help our clients to access the same opportunities to build and strengthen their financial futures. We strive to (i) become the leading digital financial platform to provide profitable solutions with a clear strategic focus on key businesses such as payments, consumer financing, wealth management and life insurance, (ii) provide the best digital experience based on operational excellence as a differentiator and (iii) develop analytics, AI capabilities and the best talent as our competitive advantages.
To achieve these goals, we continue working on five main pillars:
| • | driving continuous innovation to identify new potential revenue streams through acceleration of current business, business transformation and new market niches opportunities; |
| • | developing a resilient, secure and scalable technology platform for current and future growth; |
| • | becoming an AI-driven organization enhancing our risk and commercial management skills, with deep understanding of Peruvians and consumer preferences; |
| • | attracting and developing the best talent within our remote-fist framework within an agile organization; and |
| - | becoming a leader in sustainable operations within our segments in Peru. |

Grow with strategic focus on key businesses
We have built a financial platform that is focused on areas with a unique combination of our own key capabilities, coupled with potential for growth and profitability through the following four main subsidiaries: Interbank, a universal bank with strategic focus on retail banking; Interseguro. an insurance company focused on life and annuities; Inteligo, an advisory firm for the emerging wealthy; and Izipay, the pillar for building our payments ecosystem.
Interbank is a universal bank with strong market share in retail and a strong focus in consumer finance, which represents 62.4% of our retail loan portfolio, compared to 53.7%within the Peruvian Banking system as of December 31, 2023, according to data from SBS. Continuously improving its value proposition for different customer segments including improvements to products such as accounts, payments and financing. Interbank has developed several digital features and products to serve different customer needs, such as: the loyalty program Interbank Benefit, payment and merchant financing solutions, the budget tool Mis Finanzas and the digital savings account Piggybank. In order to ensure we deliver customer-oriented products and drive continuous innovation, these solutions have been designed together with our innovation lab LaBentana. Interbank has a goal to grow its retail deposits at a faster pace than that of the Peruvian banking system while optimizing its physical distribution channels. As part of this optimization, the number of financial stores has been reduced by over 47% as of December 31, 2023 from its peak in 2016. Moreover, its expertise and digital strategy in retail banking has allowed us to identify and address main demands from our customers, while increasing profitability, growing customer base, raising cross-selling and boosting operating leverage.
Within commercial banking, Interbank’s priority is to be the preferred bank for Peruvian businesses with a strong focus on profitability. In this context, the value proposition for commercial clients is based on (i) delivering customer oriented digital solutions, (ii) building long lasting relationships, (iii) developing strong expertise in relevant sectors, and (iv) having a fast decision-making process. Interbank wants to create value for its customers by becoming their transactional bank, connecting and collaborating with their suppliers, customers, employees and communities, co-creating products and services, all focused on their own ecosystem. With the aim of providing the best self-service and automated credit experience for commercial clients, Interbank offers a 100% digital journey focused on cash management solutions such as Cuenta Negocios, merchant financing, sustainable loans, and easy and transparent ways of managing payments, such as Cobro Simple, Cuenta Sueldo and through Izipay.
In our insurance segment, Interseguro is strategically focused on life insurance, which has had a fast growth in recent years. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the premiums earned from life insurance customers represented 86.7% of Interseguro’s total premiums earned, compared to the average of 51.9% of life insurance premiums earned over total premiums earned in the industry in 2023, according to data from SBS. Within our life insurance practice, Interseguro focuses on annuities, individual life and retail insurance, directing its efforts towards an end-to-end experience in its customers’ journey, from the issuance of an insurance policy to the after-sale services offering to clients. In this context, Interseguro’s digital offering is gaining relevance. As an example, digital mandatory auto insurance (Seguro Obligatorio de Accidentes de Tránsito, or “SOAT”) policies accounted for 72.7% of total SOAT sales in December 2023. Additionally, after-sale offerings are expected to become a virtual self-service experience, with the aim of ensuring customers a simple and positive interaction with us, leading to positive developments in digital indicators.
In our wealth management segment, Inteligo’s primary focus is to preserve and enhance the wealth created through people’s careers and lifetime. The approach is focused on its value proposition, offering digital onboarding and products and services by segment, with a 360-degree view of its customers. To acquire depth knowledge of the needs of its customers, Inteligo cultivates a culture of closeness with them, while also leveraging the wide array of financial products that can be offered through its subsidiaries, as well as through IFS’ platform. In this context, we have been able to achieve good financial results through a low-intensity capital business model uniting cost efficiencies and diversified sources of revenues over the years, as we complement our products and services across all IFS’ business segments.
Finally, in our payments segment, Izipay is a key player to our goal of creating a powerful profitable payments ecosystem in Peru. Izipay is a payments company and provider of products and services related to payments acquirer, a correspondent bank and a credit cards processor. Izipay is the leader in the physical card payment business in Peru. At Izipay, we are growing our core business by increasing adoption of our digital payment methods, while increasing synergies with our other segments.
We strive to provide solutions to address the payment needs of people and companies by creating a payment ecosystem that seeks to build a strong bond with our customers, focusing on five pillars: (i) growing number of customers and transactional volumes by extending merchant coverage, improving customer experience and banking the unbanked, (ii) replacing cash by banking unbanked Peruvians, through our open APIs that allow partners to access our account opening and basic financial-transaction services, (iii) scaling up e-commerce initiatives such as those related to marketplace and our Buy Now Pay Later solution, “Divídelo,” (iv) creating new consumer finance product offerings, and (v) offering financing and aggregated services to merchants.
55
Moreover, our payments ecosystem benefits from having strong solutions on both ends of the market. On the retail customer side, our affiliate Izipay has a strong market share, as well as knowledge of the traditional and digital card payments. On the merchant side, Izipay strengthens our value proposition for micro-merchants through IzipayYa. It also complements Interbank’s financing solution, while our shared directory Plin allows us to interact with customers from other banks and serves as a bridge between retail customers and micro-merchants. This wholesome ecosystem also allows us to scale up our other initiatives such as our e-commerce solutions, our marketplace Shopstar and the Buy Now, Pay Later solution Divídelo.
We aim to become the preferred option for our individual, commercial and merchant customers and to help them achieve financial well-being and growth by understanding and anticipating their needs, as well as by offering financial solutions that can be deployed at every contact point with the clients, including in-person and digitally, in real time. We believe that maintaining a trustworthy and transparent relationship with our customers, together with the superior, simple, mobile, agile and personalized experience that we offer, brings us closer to this goal. Our highly recognized and trusted brands in each of our segments (Interbank in banking, Interseguro in insurance, Inteligo in wealth management and Izipay in payments) are a testament to our focus on this objective. Our subsidiaries are leaders in their respective industries and, by focusing on our strengths, values and solid relationships, we plan to continue evolving and growing.
Create a powerful and profitable payments ecosystem
In May 2023, Tunki plus Izipay combined to launch IzipayYa, a solution targeting micro-merchants with interoperable QR codes and same-day availability of cash. IzipayYa aims to be the preferred solution for merchants for their payment collections through a comprehensive value proposition designed specifically for this segment. As of December 31, 2023, the number of merchants using IzipayYa was approximately 747 thousand compared to approximately 554 thousand merchants that used our Tunki solution as of December 31, 2022.
Plin is a P2P and QR code payment solution which interacts with multiple financial institutions and serves as a bridge between the banked and the unbanked through cell phones, as services may be conveniently accessed through the Interbank app. These payments are offered around-the-clock and are commission-free to all enrolled customers. Interbank is currently one of nine financial institutions that are Plin’s partners. The Central Reserve Bank of Peru has encouraged an integration of Plin with Yape, another digital wallet available in Peru, created by the Banco de Crédito del Perú. The first phase of interoperability among these digital wallets and among banks in Peru has started in April 2023, which increased the payment the use of digital payments between users. The interoperability assists the inclusion of more Peruvians into the financial system, reducing the use of cash, which continues to be high in Peru, while increasing the use of our own payment solutions. The number of monetary transactions sent through Plin, the platform operated by Interbank, has increased to 29.1 million in December of 2023 compared to 8.8 million in April of 2023 (pre-interoperability).
We have also been working on our merchant financing solution with immediate disbursement that allow small merchants to access working capital loans they need to grow their businesses quickly and easily. Our value proposition consists of a 100% digital solution, with suitable repayment options, tailor-made credit, flexible T&Cs, while promoting financial inclusion.
Divídelo is the name of our Buy Now, Pay Later solution which is already connected to over 120 e-commerce businesses in Peru and growing.
Shopstar is an online marketplace aiming to become the preferred e-commerce option for IFS customers and a sandbox to evaluate some of our initiatives such as Divídelo. It was created from the insight that many of our customers were not comfortable buying on e-commerce but would be willing to try it in a platform that was supported by Interbank. As of December 31, 2023, Shopstar had approximately 142 thousand users.
Furthermore, we believe Izipay will strengthen our strategic and competitive positioning in the payments landscape in Peru and will allow us to explore new sources of growth and monetization opportunities. Moreover, it represents additional potential for merchant financing and additional services for merchants, complementing its value proposition with some existing synergies with our banking business and its products suite. We are currently building and testing the use of Izipay solutions to our banking merchant clients and their micro-loans, providing significant cross-selling opportunities and enhancing customer loyalty.
Create the best digital experience based on operational excellence
We want to deliver a seamless and superior experience to our customers, while becoming more relevant to them. We believe that acting on these goals will allow us to more effectively serve our customers, enabling them to get what they want, when they want it, and how they want it. We believe that the key to ensure that our customers will have the best experience when interacting with us is to create unique experiences throughout their customer journey, including customer acquisition, on-boarding, customer development to earn loyalty, and during retention stages. We have been implementing various initiatives to improve the customer relationship cycle.
56
We seek to build entirely digital solutions for the customer journey and accelerate the growth of our customer base by creating innovative and distinctive tools that deliver financial solutions to people, micro-merchants and all types of business in an accessible and efficient way, throughout all our business segments.
At Interbank, we have built a seamless digital customer journey with teams dedicated to improve each step of the customer experience. We believe that a strong on-boarding leads to higher engagement from customers while an increase in engagement will create a tangible higher NPS and lower churn.
Within retail banking, Interbank is focused on expanding the products and self-service interactions, continuing to foster the adoption of digital channels by customers, adding new features according to their needs, and ensuring that interactions with them are safe and secure.
With this purpose, several high impact digital solutions have been developed based on customer preferences and needs. These solutions have been designed together with our innovation lab LaBentana based on deep understanding and research, though a co-creation process with our banking customers. We have decided to make all solutions available in our Interbank App, which we strongly believe to be our most valuable channel in our relationship with our customers going forward, considering the decrease of in-person interaction. Over the year 2023, the percentage of financial transactions performed on Interbank’s branches over the number of total transactions has continued to decrease, declining 7.9% compared with the percentage of transactions performed in-person during the year 2022. In contrast, retail digital sales have increased and accounted for 63.0% as of December 2023.
Through our banking physical channels, we continue to focus on providing a superior customer experience and are improving productivity and efficiency through digital processes, tools and more advanced analytics. Additionally, we continue to invest in educating our banking customers to encourage the use of digital and other channels. Deposits, withdrawals, bills and credit cards payments are being redirected to other more convenient and cost-efficient channels.
Within commercial banking, Interbank is working on a radical simplification of its products and processes together with digitalizing each point of contact with the bank. Moreover, one of the most important points of contact for its clients is the post sales division, where inquiries, claims and any operational issues that customers might have, are solved using channels like WhatsApp for businesses or the virtual chatbot.
Regarding commercial banking cash management platform, it has three types of client groups based on sales volume, which allows us to employ different strategies accordingly. For large corporations, efforts are focused on generation of fees from cash management and corporate finance; for medium-sized companies on growth, productivity and cash management; and for small companies on sustainable growth and productivity with strong support from analytics and collection. For small businesses, since its introduction in August 2018, Interbank’s Cuenta Negocios, an account that can be opened 100% digitally, has grown to 201,500 accounts as of December 31, 2023.
At Interseguro, we want to be the preferred and most convenient digital insurance company, using active listening mechanisms to improve customer experience and be characterized as a data driven organization to gain a competitive advantage against our peers. In this sense, the digital journey started with the launch of the online sale of SOAT in 2016 and continued with the sale of new digital products such as travel insurance, car insurance and individual life insurance. In addition, Interseguro accelerated the digitalization of its sales of annuities and life insurance products. For instance, Vida cash, a 100% digital life insurance, has been gaining relevance in the life insurance business from being inexistent years ago to represent more than 17% of premiums from Individual Life policies outstanding in Interseguro as of December 31, 2023.
At Inteligo, we focus on offshore wealth management services and have launched a digital platform that allows on-boarding, financial planning, and advisory and execution services to be part of our digital customer journey. Moreover, our value proposition is centered on giving what we consider to be the best investment advice possible and to be able to do so, we maintain relationships with our customers to acquire in depth knowledge of their needs. Apart from being knowledgeable about our customers’ needs, we believe we can be more responsive as a result of a horizontal organizational structure and entrepreneurial mindset. Additionally, our competitive edge is adapting to the changing needs of our customers to give them agile solutions.
Some examples of our new digital product suite is “Erni App”, a product aimed to digitally fulfil client needs for our mutual funds business, or “Octopus”, our in-house digital distribution platform that enables us to deliver automated digital insights across different channels
57
Izipay’s approach is focused on providing a best in-class customer experience and expanding our value proposition for merchants and consumers by partnering with merchants to grow and expand their business online and in-store, and providing consumers with simple, secure, and flexible ways to manage and move money across different markets, merchants, and platforms and simplifying their shopping experiences. The investment in software development enabled the launch of the integrated payment gateway, Punto Web 2.0, to accept transactions via card, QR, and Apple Pay. Additionally, we launched Tap to Phone within the Izipay app, made available for all brands, and integrated QR functionality into IzipayYa. As of December 31, 2023, the number of Izipay merchant accounts in Peru was 1.3 million compared to 1.1 million as of December 31, 2022.
We will continue to focus on our digital transformation to enhance efficiency through the automation of internal processes and the use of technology. Our goal is to be more efficient while utilizing fewer resources in our customer interaction.
Resilient, simple and scalable technology
To achieve all of the above, we believe that building a scalable, flexible, trustworthy, stable and secure technological platform is essential. We believe that we have deployed the key initial investments necessary to scale our platform and are committed to continue to improve it by maintaining and updating our current levels of investment in technology.
Interbank’s IT strategy is focused on working in collaboration with open technological platforms to transform our operations supporting the digital approach. Its focus is based on four main areas of work: (i) resilience, (ii) world class end to end security, (iii) modern architecture and (iv) modular IT architecture and lightweight banking mobile application. Our modular and lightweight digital banking solutions display our evolution in digital banking which accelerates time to market and accessibility. What we refer to ‘resilience’ is maintaining up-to-date critical core applications and high performance and stability of Interbank’s technological platforms. Interbank’s ‘world-class end to end security’ goal is to have the adequate equipment, processes and tools that allow us to operate in a safe environment on a daily basis with a comprehensive security approach. Interbank’s “modern architecture” refers to the upgrading of the main applications towards cloud native versions and the evolution of the cloud operation governance model, as well as laying the foundation to safely scale artificial intelligence at Interbank.
In this context, Interbank continuously invests in the update of core applications while additional effort and resources are invested in the digitalization and transformation of processes and channels in order to provide an entirely digital experience to all customers. Moreover, Interbank has increased the number of teams within its agile digital solutions framework, allowing it to substantially decrease time-to-market and to develop more innovative ideas.
Additionally, during the years 2022 and 2023, Interbank and our other subsidiaries have bolstered our investments in cybersecurity as we believe security is essential for our platform to continue to enable our digital transformation. General-purpose technologies have also been implemented to our operations to mitigate cybersecurity risks and these controls are constantly evolving and being aligned with industry trends.
We strongly believe that our IT strategy will allows us to deliver high standards of cybersecurity and compete with high performing players in the region, including financial incumbents and digital disruptors.
Develop an AI-driven organization
Interbank’s analytics vision is to have a fully deployed online customer management system which relies on real-time data, cloud processing, automated and reusable variables, real-time decision and actions, and an integrated infrastructure to support these new processes.
Our advanced analytics capabilities are being enriched with new sources of data and new tools that technology offers, such as cloud, real-time decision, machine learning, deep learning, artificial and continuous intelligence and big data. Interbank aims to have a deep understanding of the habits of Peruvians, both individuals and companies, as it believes that a deep knowledge of our current and potential customers’ characteristics and adapting to their behavior is important to better serve them, and to offer them the best solutions according to their needs and risk profile.
In this context, at Interbank, our goal of deepening our understanding of Peruvians focuses on three strategic areas: (i) marketing analytics, (ii) risk, and (iii) collections all of these empowered by the adoption of artificial intelligence.
In marketing analytics, Interbank aims to anticipate the needs of our customers with personalized and timely solutions. We are focused on improving time-to-market, as well as increasing the number of personalized offers with further customer engagement.
Secondly, the ability to assess customers’ risk profile in the correct manner, together with a balanced portfolio approach, has allowed Interbank to grow in healthy manner. The bank is focused on improving its assessment, through more and better models and using as much information as possible. Furthermore, we have been able to deliver contextual credit offers digitally in real and near real time which allows us to maximize the relationship with strong credit customers, while generating a sense of togetherness and loyalty.
58
Finally, Interbank also applies advanced analytics to improve its debt collection process, creating an efficient, digital and empathetic experience. As for example, machine learning models have allowed the bank to improve contestability and response, as well as the contact with its customers. This has been important to develop a self-service environment that gives our banking customers flexibility in an easy and empathetic manner.
Investments in technology represent the pillar of this strategic initiative, and Interbank is working in a variety of areas to achieve this goal, including data and infrastructure, advanced marketing analytics, and risk profiling and pricing models, as well as improving our CRM capabilities, including contextual marketing. With the support of its team of data scientists, Interbank centrally designs and distributes most of its sales campaigns, has substantially improved its campaign effectiveness and is currently employing real-time decision making on certain campaigns. This combination of investments has helped make the bank more dynamic and able to approach customers in real time, by offering easy-to-understand information and agile and transparent processes that generate trust in us.
These efforts also include different actions undertaken to have a better understanding of the self-employed segment of the population, which constitute a significant opportunity for financial services given the current low penetration levels. In addition, Interbank is working on alternative risk profile models for new customer acquisition using new sources and non-traditional sources of data.
Through analytics, we are working to become the digital ally in hearts and minds of Peruvians, as well as to establish best practices and governance around the use of data and analytics initiatives, promoting a data-driven mindset throughout the platform. Such initiatives are assisted by the Analytics Center of Excellence (ACoE), which was implemented at the beginning of 2023.
Attract and develop the best talent within our remote-fist framework in an agile organization
We believe that a motivated workforce leads to high-quality customer service, which leads to satisfied customers and better results. Our commitment to fostering a motivated workforce and performance-based culture is demonstrated by recently being ranked among the top Peruvian and Latin American companies in all our core segments by the Great Place to Work Institute and recently also in the specific rankings for women and millennials.
At Interbank, teams are dedicated to nurturing a culture based on six core values, which we believe is one of the most important drivers to lead high-quality teams who develop in a safe environment. Moreover, it allows the teams to cultivate an innovative culture, and as a result, the creation and improvement of our products and services. We also believe that diversity makes us stronger and enhances our innovation. For this purpose, Interbank has introduced a series of initiatives such as Expo Analytics, #LaFerIA, LaBentana Talks, as well as Innovation Day at Intercorp Peru level. In addition, training programs including the Agile Academy, Tribk, and the Commercial Trainee program have also been created.
Our overarching goal is to attract and retain the best talent worldwide, as it is considered the main pillar. At Interbank, this is possible because its flexible remote work framework ERES, which is considered a competitive advantage in the context of digital financial services and which allows us to stay connected while achieving our goals wherever we are. Our ERES framework has allowed us to attract regional talent in key positions, being an advantage to achieve our strategy.
Furthermore, Interbank continues building on the pillars of our corporate culture: leadership, horizontality and growth. They help us promote an environment of transparency, openness, and personal and professional development, especially in aspects such as data, digital and soft skills. Additionally, it aims for the balance between organizational agility and culture to generate more value in the business and engagement in our teams.
Interbank is also focused on developing new capabilities in response to our digital transformation goals, by refreshing and upgrading the skills and abilities of its workforce, through programs such as Level Up. This program provides talent with training in new and different skills so they can be ready to have new and transformational roles in our group.
Interbank, Interseguro, Inteligo and Izipay will continue their efforts to attract, develop and retain highly qualified personnel and to maintain a performance-based culture that emphasizes teamwork to keep a motivated workforce that delivers high-quality service and strong results.

Our Approach to Sustainability
Sustainability is key to how we conduct our business, and we recognize that sustainability is not only an engine for growth but also a differentiating attribute in our relationship with our stakeholders. The responsible management of sustainability matters is central to our culture and anchored on our purpose, our sustainability statement incorporates a future building approach: “We are side by side with Peruvians so they can reach their dreams, today and build their future”.
We recognize the vital role we play in the transition to a more sustainable world. We also recognize the great opportunity to positively impact the climate in which we develop our activities. In this sense, to strengthen our business model and with a long-term view in mind, we seek to consolidate ourselves as an institution that incorporates responsible business practices into our operations and in our relationship with our stakeholders to promote the sustainable development of Peru. Sustainability is a company-wide responsibility. Our vision and principles are put into practice in our daily operations and activities. Our sustainability strategy considers the major global challenges, macro trends, and our business goals.
We incorporate our sustainability vision into our management and culture, through a set of corporate policies and standards, ongoing management of social and environmental risks and opportunities, and active engagement with our various stakeholders. Thus, we are expanding our offering of financial solutions to support our customers making positive social and environmental impacts as well as supporting our customers in the transition to a less carbon-intensive economy. These solutions aim to serve individuals, entrepreneurs, and large corporations and are complemented by financial literacy programs.
Our responsible business model
At IFS, our responsible business model is ingrained into our purpose of empowering all Peruvians to achieve their financial well-being. We believe that the well-being of our business aligns with that of our clients and community in general, and that the only way Peruvians will be able to truly develop is if they have a prosperous country, now and in the long-term.
We acknowledge the key role that the financial sector plays in the transition to a more sustainable economy, thus we incorporate environmental, social and governance criteria in the way we approach our business. Furthermore, we know that operating as a responsible business is a driver of growth and a differentiating attribute in our relationship with our stakeholders.
At IFS, each subsidiary is responsible for identifying sustainability-related opportunities and risks. Even though our sustainability strategy is embedded in each subsidiary’s daily operations, each of them operates independently while in coordination with the general guidelines issued by our Chief Sustainability Officer and Board of Directors.

Pursuant to IFS’ Sustainability Policy, the Board of Directors supervises the application and implementation of such policy within each subsidiary. For such purposes, the following governance measures were put into place:
| • | The Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO), appointed in March 2022, is responsible for overseeing the implementation of the sustainability strategy in coordination with all four subsidiaries to ensure their alignment with the Sustainability Policy, and the alignment with any with other related guidelines established by the IFS Board of Directors. The CSO presents the results of this strategy once a year to the Board of Directors. |
| • | One Sustainability Leader at each subsidiary is responsible for the management and implementation of the Sustainability Policy and guidelines in each of them with the permanent support of the Chief Sustainability Officer and the subsidiary`s Board of Directors, as well as IFS` Board of Directors. |
| • | An Executive Sustainability Committee, composed by composed by IFS CEO and by each of the four CEOs, one per subsidiary, is responsible for deciding strategic priorities, allocating resources, assigning responsibilities and overseeing the implementation of initiatives at executive level. |
Through its sustainable finance strategy, IFS offers new financial instruments that will facilitate the transition to a low carbon economy and stimulate sustainable development. From August 2021 to December 31, 2023, we generated ESG-related loans for up to U.S.$195.7 million. In August 2023, we published our Sustainable Financing Framework verified by a second party opinion issued by Standard & Poor’s which has been a key achievement that builds towards our sustainable finance roadmap.
In 2023, IFS participated in S&P Global’s Corporate Sustainability Assessment and reached a score of 61 points, reaching the 92nd percentile and being included in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook for 2024 for the first time. We promote the adoption of voluntary commitments that go beyond legal obligations in our subsidiaries and are aligned with global sustainability standards, such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations and the UN Global Compact, among others. Our main sustainability efforts include actions in three areas:

Interbank offers its retail customers two major credit cards: VISA and American Express. Interbank has an exclusivity agreement with American Express for its Centurion line of credit cards in Peru. Interbank also offers credit cards with different value propositions catering to each customer segment.
Interbank was the first bank to launch Google Pay, in November 2023. Android clients can now enroll both cards (debit and credit) on their digital wallet through the Interbank application. In December 2023, Interbank reached 54 thousand registered customers and 16 thousand active customers per month. Another milestone reached by Interbank in August 2023, was the commercial agreement that Interbank closed with Hiraoka (a major retail seller of electronics and technology in Peru). With this partnership, the market share of Interbank within the Peruvian market for issued credit and debit cards grew from 17% to 27% and 12% to 13%, respectively.
In November 2019, the SBS issued SBS Resolution No. 5570-2019 which became effective in January 2021. This resolution establishes that the non-revolving financing portion of credit card loans must be presented for regulatory considerations as loans instead of credit card loans. Under SBS GAAP figures, this resulted in a significant reduction to Interbank’s credit card loan balances, market share and a change in its retail loans portfolio mix.
(2) Payroll deduction loans. Payroll deduction loans to public sector employees such as police officers, teachers and army employees, Interbank ranks first among private banks in Peru in terms of payroll deduction loans to public sector employees, with a market share of 21.7% as of December 31, 2023 as compared to 22.3% as of December 31, 2022.
The risk of default under payroll deduction loans is low, because the employer deducts the loan payments from the employee’s salary and makes payments directly to Interbank. Additionally, these payroll deduction loans are legally required to be insured by an insurance company against the death and disability of the borrower. Interseguro provides substantially all of the insurance policies for these loans although customers are free to purchase insurance from other providers.
(3) Personal loans. Personal loans include cash loans, student loans, and collateralized cash loans. Cash loans have a term of up to 60 months and a grace period of up to two months. In addition, collateralized cash loans allow customers to include savings accounts or real estate as collateral, have a term of up to 60 months and a grace period of up to two months.
Mortgage Loans
Interbank offers fixed rate mortgage loans with a typical term of 20 years and a typical down payment of 10% denominated in either U.S. dollars or soles.
Interbank’s mortgage loans outstanding grew at a CAGR of 8.1% between December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2023 compared to a CAGR of 6.5% for the Peruvian banking system in the same period. Between December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023, Interbank’s growth in mortgage loans outstanding was 5.9%, compared to 5.1% for the Peruvian banking system over the same period. For 2022, Interbank’s growth in mortgage loans outstanding was 8.6% with respect to 2021, as compared to 7.6% for the Peruvian banking system over the same period. For 2023, Interbank’s mortgage loan balances amounted to S/9,853.0 million, of which 94.2% were denominated in soles and the remaining 5.8% in U.S. dollars. For the year ended December 31, 2022, Interbank’s mortgage loan balances amounted to S/9,306.2 million, of which 93.1% were denominated in soles and the remaining 6.9% in U.S. dollars.
Interbank also provides residential construction loans to real estate developers. Although these loans are reported within the commercial banking portfolio, they are managed together with retail banking mortgages because of the synergies between the businesses. Financing real estate projects provides Interbank with an opportunity to market mortgage loans to home buyers.
In 2001, the Peruvian government launched the Nuevo Crédito Mivivienda program, a social initiative to promote the construction of low-income housing, of which Interbank is an active participant. As of December 31, 2023, the Nuevo Crédito Mivivienda program had 10,681 outstanding loans, mainly to develop multi-family buildings. The Nuevo Crédito Mivivienda program provides direct funding to match each loan underwritten by banks, as well as credit risk coverage for up to two-thirds of any realized loss. Furthermore, the program subsidizes part of the down payment to the end customer to promote real estate acquisition in the country. In addition, by the end of 2023 the Peruvian government launched the Credit Risk Coverage Service (Cobertura de Riesgo Crediticio – CRC), which allows banks to offer own funding home loans with the possibility to maintain credit risk coverage of up to two-thirds of any realized loss.

Retail Deposits
Interbank offers a wide range of sol, U.S. dollar and euro denominated transactional, savings and investment accounts through one of the largest distribution networks, as measured by total financial stores, ATMs and correspondent agents. These products satisfy key consumer needs and position Interbank as an attractive financial institution for retail customers.
Transactional accounts
Within retail deposits, Interbank offers transactional accounts with different interest rates, maintenance fees and options for accessing funds.
Cuenta Sueldo is a payroll account into which an employer may deposit an accountholder’s salary on a regular basis. These payroll accounts provide debit cards for employees and discounts at restaurants and retailers, among other benefits. Interbank offers these payroll account services to employers in conjunction with other commercial banking products, and also markets directly to employees.
Cuenta Simple is used by customers for their everyday banking needs and does not have a maintenance fee. Transactions are free of charge for up to a certain number of monthly transactions through physical channels. In addition, all transactions and transfers performed through online banking and other electronic devices are free of charge. This transactional account is of low cost for Interbank as most of the transactions are conducted through electronic channels. Customers are also able to receive incoming wire transfers in this account. This account type was used to make available the funds that were permitted to be withdrawn from the private pension funds as a result of the Peruvian government’s COVID-19 relief measure to provide liquidity to individuals.
Savings accounts
Interbank offers savings accounts with a variety of interest rates, maintenance charges and options for alternative access channels, such as ATM cards, and free online and mobile access.
Cuenta Millonaria is Interbank’s flagship savings account, which may be denominated in soles or U.S. dollars. The Cuenta Millonaria account allows accountholders to participate in sweepstakes to win prizes such as apartments, cars, courses of studies, among other prizes. Cuenta Millonaria also offers an interest rate and free unlimited transactions through electronic channels.
Cuenta Super Tasa offers special interest rates based on clients’ account balances and free unlimited transactions through electronic channels.
Alcancía Virtual is a digitally-enabled feature of a transactional or payroll account in either soles or U.S. Dollars, which encourages Interbank’s customers to save. This virtual piggy bank allows customers to easily transfer or “swipe” in certain amounts from other accounts to their piggy bank, as well as to create up to 3 different categories in order to organize their savings. The funds allocated to the piggy bank are not subject to maintenance fees and benefit from higher rates than those applied to the associated transactional account. Amounts in customers’ piggy bank do not show as funds available for ATM withdrawals or for debit card purchases. As such, money deposited in piggy bank accounts improve Interbank’s funding base. Customers retain full flexibility to transfer any funds in their piggy bank account to their transactional accounts through mobile banking or online banking.
Investment accounts
Interbank offers time deposits, certificates of deposit (“CDs”) and CTS accounts denominated in soles, U.S. dollars, and euros (only for time deposits), to customers who may or may not have a checking or savings account with Interbank.
Interbank offers time deposits and CDs, with maturities ranging from 31 days to one year. Time deposits with maturities of 31 days or more may be opened with a minimum initial balance of S/2,000, U.S.$1,000, or EUR 1,000. Time deposits with maturities ranging from five years to 10 years are only offered in soles and can be opened with a minimum initial balance of S/50,000.
CTS accounts are severance accounts that employers must open for the benefit of their employees pursuant to Peruvian law. Employers must deposit into these accounts twice a year (in May and November) an amount equal to one half of an employee’s month salary. Employees may withdraw from their CTS account any amount exceeding the sum of such employee’s four months’ salary calculated based on the most recent monthly salary.
Commercial Banking
Interbank’s commercial banking is organized in three business units: (1) corporate; (2) medium-size businesses and (3) small businesses.
64
As of December 31, 2023, Interbank was the fourth largest bank in terms of commercial loans outstanding, with a total commercial loan portfolio amounting to S/20.6 billion, representing a 9.6% market share, while its past-due loan ratio stood at 3.0%, the lowest among the largest four banks in Peru.
The following charts show Interbank’s and the Peruvian banking system’s commercial gross loans breakdown according to the SBS as of December 31, 2023:
Source: SBS.
According to the SBS, in general terms, corporate loans are loans offered to companies with annual sales exceeding S/200.0 million in the previous two years; large loans are offered to companies with annual sales between S/20.0 million and S/200.0 million in the previous two years, medium loans are offered to companies with a total debt in the Peruvian financial system above S/300,000 in the last six months that cannot be classified as corporate or large companies; small size loans are offered to companies with a total debt in the Peruvian financial system between S/20,000 and S/300,000 in the last six months; micro-company loans are offered to companies with total debt in the Peruvian financial system no higher than S/20,000 in the last six months.
Corporate Banking
Interbank’s corporate banking unit is primarily responsible for providing services to companies with annual sales exceeding S/100.0 million or are part of a large economic group. Interbank’s corporate banking unit provides investment banking, structured finance and other sophisticated banking products to meet the needs of its target clients. Furthermore, Interbank focuses on developing a relationship with each client and promoting fee-related and low-risk products, such as supply chain financing, collections, transfers and foreign exchange services, all tailored to meet the particular requirements of each client.
Medium-Size Business Banking
Interbank’s medium-size business banking unit offers many of the same products as those of the corporate banking unit mainly to medium-size enterprises with annual sales between S/3.0 million and S/100.0 million. The unit primarily provides Interbank’s clients with working capital loans secured by accounts receivable and other products, including financing for medium and long-term investment programs. Medium-size businesses also constitute an important source of deposits.
Medium-size enterprises in Peru generally do not have access to financing through local or international capital markets or to term loans from foreign banks. Interbank expects to capitalize on the significant growth opportunities in this sector and to profit from the margins that it offers when taking into account the reasonable degree of risk involved. We believe that this sector will continue to grow along with the Peruvian economy.
Small Business Banking
Interbank’s small business banking unit serves companies with annual sales between S/500,000 and S/3.0 million. Interbank offers working capital loans, fixed asset financing, revolving lines of credit and transactional accounts to small businesses. Interbank has invested in building an experienced team and developing a strong IT platform, with online and automated processes to better serve these customers.
65
Main Commercial Banking Products
Medium-Term Loans. Interbank offers term loans, which are loans with tenors over 1 year and with average duration of 3.2 years. These loans are usually collateralized with mortgages and/or other assets in order to secure the credit facility. Furthermore, Interbank earns structuring fees from these transactions.
Leasing. Interbank provides financial leasing including commercial real estate, vehicles, machinery and other goods. At the end of the term of a leasing agreement, the customer has the option to purchase the leased assets.
In recent years, the growth in Interbank’s leasing business has been driven by economic growth and related private sector investments. We expect this trend to continue in the future. Furthermore, Interbank is actively pursuing leasing and financing opportunities for machinery and equipment to grow its leasing business.
Cuenta Negocios. The only 100% digital current-account for businesses in the Peruvian market. This account can be opened by customers following a very simple process, with no physical documentation required. Cuenta Negocios is the principal client acquisition tool in Interbank’s commercial banking business. It also supports many other of Interbank’s products, such as factoring.
Cash management. Interbank offers products and services that strengthen its relationship with clients, build loyalty and reduce costs by using electronic channels and by increasing fee income. Services managed by this unit include collection services (automated trade bill collection), automated payments (payroll and payments to suppliers) and digital banking and cash management. Interbank earns fees from cash management services by charging its clients a fixed fee and a variable fee based on the volume and frequency of the transactions.
Trade finance. Interbank provides short-term loans for trade, funded with internal resources or with credit lines from foreign banks. In addition, the trade finance unit offers medium-term credit lines using funds granted by international commercial banks and foreign governmental institutions. The trade finance unit also earns fees by providing customers with letters of credit, international collection and foreign exchange services.
Interbank intends to take advantage of the growing importance of China in Peru’s foreign trade activities by facilitating trade and investment between the two countries. In 2007, Interbank established a commercial representative office in China in order to provide financial services to Peruvian and Chinese companies wishing to trade in either market.
Supply Chain Financing. Interbank’s electronic factoring products enable Interbank’s clients to pay in advance and at a discount to their suppliers. Interbank has a 100% digital-platform for the onboarding of new providers. New customers can also open a Cuenta Negocios during that same process.
Treasury and Institutional
The main activities of Interbank’s treasury and institutional business line include treasury and institutional banking, as well as securitization services through Internacional de Titulos Sociedad Titulizadora S.A. (“Intertítulos”).
Treasury
Interbank is an active participant in the money and foreign exchange trading markets in Peru. Its money market desk plays an active role in the sol and foreign currency short-term money markets. In addition, the money market desk participates in the auction of certificates of deposit issued by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru. Interbank’s proprietary trading activities focus on foreign exchange trading and short-term investments in securities, which primarily include certificates of deposit of the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, Peruvian global bonds and sovereign debt instruments.
Institutional Banking
Interbank’s institutional banking unit serves primarily non-profit public and private organizations, international entities, educational institutions, nongovernmental organizations and local financial institutions. As of December 31, 2023, the institutional banking unit had more than 760 clients, S/7.1 billion in current account deposits and S/5.2 billion in time deposits, accounting for 12.7% of Interbank’s total deposits.
66
Interbank’s institutional banking unit is strategically important as it provides the bank with a stable and low-cost deposit base, as well as opportunities for fee income generation. Its clients require mainly transactional products, such as digital banking, collection services, automated payroll payment services and investment management. Interbank’s strategy is focused on building customer loyalty with these clients by offering customized services at competitive rates and by providing high-quality customer service.
Securitization Services
In addition, Interbank provides securitization services through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Intertítulos, which is regulated by the SMV. Intertítulos, acting as a trustee, enables its clients to issue securities in order to obtain funds directly from financial markets.
Distribution Channels
Interbank has built and developed one of the best omni-channel platforms that combine physical and digital presence, serving over 5.9 million customers as well as non-customers across Peru.
In terms of physical presence, Interbank has developed a highly convenient network. As of December 31, 2023, Interbank had 153 financial stores and operated 1,666 ATMs, one of the largest ATM network in Peru and the largest out-of-branch ATM network. Interbank has the largest number of financial stores within retail locations in Peru. Interbank has 110 financial stores in the aggregate across Plaza Vea, Vivanda and shopping malls. Moreover, with the intention of offering greater convenience as well as providing underserved customers with greater access to financial services, Interbank operates a network of 7,163 correspondent agents (includes external network) as of December 31, 2023, known as Interbank Agente.
In terms of online channels, Interbank provides any customer or non-customer with the option to have a completely digital experience with the bank, from acquisition and onboarding to the use of its financial products. Its website has a strong commercial focus and manages the bank’s digital acquisition of new customers. Its online banking and mobile application give customers immediate access to its day-to-day transactions and after-sales services and uses those interactions to capture cross-sell opportunities. Furthermore, Interbank has developed other channels that serve specific segments or customer needs. For example, a separate website that serves customers under the Interbank Benefit loyalty program, and “Cuenta Sueldo” is a mobile application for payroll account customers that gives access to discounts and benefits.
The following table shows the number of monetary transactions of each distribution channel:

Financial Stores
As of December 31, 2023, Interbank had 153 financial stores in Peru. After peaking 290 financial stores in 2016, the number of financial stores decreased mainly due to the success in transferring basic transactions from the stores to more efficient channels, the use of online banking and mobile applications, and process improvements. However, Interbank maintains the fifth largest network of financial stores among Peruvian banks, covering 23 of Peru’s 25 regions. A large number of the financial stores are located in convenient, high traffic areas, such as supermarkets and shopping malls, to maximize client coverage.
In May 2013, Interbank introduced “Imagine” financial stores, a concept jointly developed with IDEO, a design and innovation consulting firm. “Imagine” fosters a more pleasant and inviting environment to Interbank’s customers and is designed to educate customers on the use of electronic channels in order to migrate low value transactions to more efficient channels, while continuing to capture new customers and exploit cross-selling opportunities. Imagine has set new service standards in the industry and many of its elements have been adopted by Interbank’s main competitors.
In July 2020, Interbank introduced an evolution of the “Imagine” concept, “Xperience”. “Xperience” enables customer to perform digital transaction in stores and also reinforces the role of digital education. This concept was developed into two store models, “Express” and “Universal”. “Express” stores are located inside retailers and they are the first cashless stores, focused on education and new customer acquisition. “Universal” stores transform Interbank financial stores by creating a physical-digital area at the entrance of the store that is specifically dedicated to offer digital solutions to its customers and non-customers. These new stores have offered new and existing customers an assisted onboarding process onto its digital channels. In 2023, 46.5% of new digital users utilized the onboarding process offered at Interbank’s financial stores, which resulted in increased customer satisfaction level by 3 percentual points compared to the traditional model and increased assisted digital sales to represent to 38% of sales per store, 8 percentual points higher than the traditional model.
The following chart illustrates Interbank’s financial stores evolution according to the SBS.
ATMs
Interbank’s strategy is to offer its customers increased convenience and as of December 31, 2023, had one of the largest ATM network in Peru with 1,666 ATMs located across Peru. Although this number represents a reduction from the 2,159 ATMs in 2016, the streamlining of the network has allowed Interbank to relocate ATMs to higher convenience locations as well as invest in renewing and upgrading its equipment, while monetary transactions kept growing year-over-year in this channel. The reduction of the network in 2019, responds to Interbank’s decision to discontinue the operation of 359 coin-dispensing ATMs, migrating those transactions to more efficient channels like regular ATMs or correspondent agents.
As of December 31, 2023, 1,666 ATMs make up one of the largest out-of-branch networks in Peru, as reported by ASBANC. The ATM channel is one of the largest channels in Peru in terms of monetary transactions, with a20% share and has advanced features, including cardless withdrawals, and the ability to receive cash deposits, bill and credit card payments in cash or via debit card, as well as disburse payroll advances. To offer this increased convenience in an efficient way, Interbank operates under the Global Net brand which is also a business line that provides ATM services to other financial institutions in Peru and acquires ATM transactions for all major global brands, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, JCB, Union Pay, Diners and Discovery.
68
The following chart illustrates the evolution in number of Interbank’s ATMs according to ASBANC.
Correspondent Agents
This channel operates under the Interbank Agente brand and consists of providing traditional merchants, for example, warehouses, pharmacies, low-cost electronic terminals that allow customers to carry out basic cash transactions, such as withdrawals, deposits and utility bill payments. In order to accelerate and broaden geographic coverage, Interbank incorporated external correspondent agents, which currently represent 56% of the total correspondent agents, expanding its network from more than 5,778 as of December 31, 2021 to 7,163 as of December 31 2023. We believe that Interbank’s focus on migrating low-value cash transactions from stores to more efficient channels contributed to have 2.9 million transactions in this channel.
The following chart illustrates the evolution of Interbank’s correspondent agents according to Interbank’s information.
Mobile Banking
Interbank has developed a robust digital ecosystem that allows its customers to fulfil their financial needs and goals with a 100% digital experience. Its objective is to provide a journey which does not require physical contact so that its clients do not need to physically visit a branch or contact the call center, unless the customer chooses to do so. Interbank offers digital banking to its new and existing customers through its website and its mobile application. In December 2023, Interbank had more than 2.7 million monthly active users and registered over 21.5 million monetary transactions as well as 180.1 million non-monetary transactions. Its mobile application was the highest rated in the Google Play Store among the four largest banks in Peru. In addition to its website and mobile banking channels, Interbank has also developed other digital solutions that address specific customer segments or needs such as Interbank Benefit, a loyalty program, and Cuenta Sueldo APP, where our payroll account customers can access special discounts and benefits. Furthermore, in 2019, Interbank launched Crédito por Convenio APP, which services Interbank’s public sector payroll deduction loan customers.
Interbank’s website provides general information about the bank and its products and services and has a commercial orientation, allowing non-customers to acquire credit cards and loans or open a savings or transactional account.
Interbank’s mobile banking is available to existing customers and its services include: (i) transactions: account balance and transaction inquiries, transfers between accounts to Interbank and other local and international banks, credit card, bills and loan
69
payments, mutual fund investments and cardless ATM withdrawal requests; (ii) after-sales services: lock your card, enable or disable card usage online or abroad, turn on notifications for card usage, mobile transactions and/or ATM withdrawals and divide card transactions into installments; (iii) product cross-sell: credit cards, credit card line extension, pre-approved loans, savings accounts and insurance products; and (iv) personal financial management tools: view your credit score and tips to improve it, spending, creating a budget. Furthermore, as part of its strategy to enhance the digital experience and incentivize its customers to migrate to digital channels, Interbank has digital-only services, such as access to the loyalty program “Interbank Benefit”, the digital savings account “Piggy Bank”, the personal financial management tool Mis Finanzas and a personalized credit score based on customers’ financial behavior.
Increased monthly usage of digital solutions among customers is key to Interbank’s strategy as mobile banking customers interact monthly more than eight times the amount that branch customers do, have lower transactional costs and have a better net promoter score and churn indicators as of December 31, 2023.
Furthermore, in December 2023, 75.3% of Interbank’s retail customers that interacted with the bank through any channel were digital customers, that is, customers that also access Interbank’s services though internet and mobile banking, while monetary transactions in this channel grew by 3.4% from December 2022 to December 2023.
Contact Center
Interbank seeks to prioritize the self-service of its clients, offering the help of service advisors 24/7 who can meet the needs of customers. Interbank’s strategy focuses on delivering first contact solutions, generating value in each contact.
Additionally, we seek to generate value in each touch point, with products and benefits to improve customers’ experience and thus their relationship with the bank. In May 2020, Interbank launched their service bot “AVI” offered through the WhatsApp platform. During 2023, Interbank focused on continuing to grow this channel, reaching 327,000 average monthly interactions, approximately 195,000 of which were self-assisted in December 2023, compared to 131,000 self-assisted interactions in December 2022.
Interbank has a state-of-the-art contact center, which managed an average of over 579,000 assisted interactions per month in 2023, answering inquiries from clients, offering assistance and information, and selling new products to customers. Interbank has a dedicated telephone sales force of 245 employees as of December 31, 2023, which sells credit cards and short loans. The dedicated sales force is a key resource for customer acquisition and for Interbank’s up-selling and cross-selling campaigns.
COVID-19 Measures
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared Covid-19 a global pandemic, which resulted in several restrictive measures. Since May 2020, the gradual resumption of economic activities began, according to the measures stablished by the Government considering that in the first semester of 2022, the economic activities reached levels before the pandemic. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the MEF, Central Reserve Bank of Peru and the SBS issued several resolutions aimed to alleviate the impacts of the pandemic. Interbank offered various payment rescheduling options to its clients to help them overcome the major economic shock related to the pandemic and the lockdown measures implemented by the government. These rescheduling options refer to the following three schemes:
| • | Unilateral: loans proactively rescheduled by us on a portion of the loan balance, in consideration of the client’s debt burden. |
| • | Partial rescheduling: loans rescheduled at client’s request on a portion of the loan balance. |
| • | Structural: loans proactively rescheduled by us or at client’s request over the entire loan balance. |
The rescheduling of loans could involve modifying payment schedules, granting grace periods, and lowering interest rates, among other measures. In 2023, Interbank continued to support customers that requested additional relief for their rescheduled loans under the Reactiva Perú program, on a case-by-case basis.
Special provisions as a result of social unrest and climate phenomenon
On December 7, 2022, Peruvian former President Pedro Castillo announced his intention to dissolve the Peruvian Congress and to intervene in, among others, the Peruvian judicial branch and Superior Court. Mr. Castillo’s actions were deemed to constitute an attempted coup, which led to his impeachment and arrest. According to the Peruvian Constitution, Mr. Castillo was succeeded by his then vice-president, Dina Boluarte. Following Mr. Castillo’s impeachment, a wave of protests in support of Mr. Castillo erupted across the country, which led President Boluarte to declare a state of emergency across several regions in Peru on December 12, 2022. Protests continued until March 2023.
70
In that context, the SBS approved a series of measures to reschedule retail loans that had been affected by the protests and social unrest in Peru, similar to those implemented to minimize the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Pursuant to Oficio Multiple N° 54961-2022, issued on December 22, 2022, the SBS established exceptional measures applicable to retail loans, allowing financial institutions to amend contractual conditions without characterizing them as refinanced loans as long as the amended loan complied with certain loan characteristics.
Additionally, through Oficio Múltiple N° 12174-2023, issued on March 10, 2023, the SBS established exceptional measures applicable to retail clients according to the geographic scope determined by each financial company and prior analysis of the level of impact on its portfolio of debtors, allowing the entities to amend the contractual conditions of the different types of loans for retail debtors, without such amendment being considered a refinancing provided certain criteria was complied with.
Lastly, due to the high uncertainty caused by the intensity of the “El Niño” phenomenon, in 2023 we have had to increase our monitoring of the performance results of our retail and commercial clients and make subsequent adjustments of expected loss to our model, which in turn creates a certain level of uncertainty in the estimation of expected losses on loans.
Information Technology Unit
Interbank continuously invests in new technology and the maintenance of its existing equipment and infrastructure in order to improve its value proposition to its customers, increase its efficiency and support business growth.

Insurance Segment
Overview
Interseguro is an insurance company that caters to Peru’s growing middle class. Interseguro is focused on annuities and life insurance. Life insurance is the fastest growing insurance market segment in Peru, which is driven by individuals seeking life protection with savings options. Interseguro has been the leader in the Peruvian annuities (excluding private annuities) segment since 2010, with market shares in terms of premiums of 27.9% and 30.0% for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
For the four-year period ended December 31, 2023, Interseguro’s ROE averaged 25.6% compared to 22.9% for the Peruvian insurance industry. For the year ended December 31, 2023, Interseguro’s premiums (excluding disability and survivorship annuities gross premiums) increased 12.8% as compared to 2022, according to the SBS, related to higher sales as a result of a growth of individual life and retail insurance market. During 2023, the survivorship annuities market decreased 39.2% compared to 2022 due to annuities market contraction. This led to Interseguro annuities sales, with survivorship premiums going from S/411.2 million in 2022 to S/231.7 million in 2023, a decrease of 43.7%. For the year ended December 31, 2022, Interseguro’s premiums decreased 4.9% as compared to 2021, according to the SBS, related to lower sales as a result of worse annuities market conditions.
Interseguro intends to leverage its leading position in annuities, as well as Intercorp Peru’s and Interbank’s retail distribution capacity to continue capturing growth opportunities in the insurance industry. In addition, Interseguro expects to continue developing new products to satisfy increasing demand for insurance products by middle class families in Peru.
The growth of annuities is expected to accelerate as the number of Peruvian private pension system affiliates and the Peruvian salaries average increases. From 2010 to 2023, the growth of Peruvian private pension system affiliates was 100%, according to the SBS, and the annual average growth of Peruvian salaries from 2010 to 2023 was 4%, according to INEI. In Peru, employees may choose to accumulate their mandatory retirement contribution in the public or the private pension system. Under the mandatory private pension system, a retiree has the option of converting the capital accumulated in a personal account maintained with an AFP into an annuity offered by a life insurance company, such as Interseguro. In addition to retirement annuities, Interseguro also offers disability annuities to members of the Peruvian private pension system who have been declared permanently or partially disabled. Moreover, Interseguro offers survivorship annuities to beneficiaries of deceased members of the system. Once an annuity client chooses an insurance company, the decision is irrevocable. Besides private pension system annuities, Interseguro offers private annuities, a product that was launched in 2016 and that is sold to any owner of private funds and is not restricted to members of the system and their accumulated capital. This product is aimed at retirees that choose to withdraw the 95.5% of their pension funds and are looking for an option to capitalize such funds.
Interseguro also offers traditional life insurance products, as well as low-cost premium retail insurance products, including credit life, SOAT, credit card protection insurance, among others, mainly sold through Interbank and Intercorp Peru’s complementary channels, as well as digital channels. Interseguro’s life and retail insurance business lines have grown significantly over the last five years. As of December 31, 2023, Interseguro was the third largest consolidated insurance company and the fifth largest life insurance company in Peru in terms of premiums. In addition, in terms of the size of its portfolio, Interseguro was the second largest insurance company in Peru as of December 31, 2023.
For the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, Interseguro’s net results were net profit of S/292.1 million (U.S.$ 78.7 million) and net profit of S/255.5 million (U.S.$68.8 million). As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, Interseguro had shareholders’ equity of S/438.1 million (U.S.$ 115.2 million) and S/364.5 million (U.S.$98.1 million), respectively. Interseguro’s ROE for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was 86.2% and 92.4%, respectively, while ROA was 2.0% and 1.8%, respectively.
For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, Interseguro’s net profit under SBS GAAP were S/315.1 million and S/202.8 million, respectively. The increase in Interseguro’s net profit under SBS GAAP for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to 2022 was primarily a result of S/55.9 million increase in net gain of financial investments. According to the SBS, as of December 31, 2023, Interseguro had shareholders’ equity of S/1,338 million as compared to S/1,186 million for 2022. Interseguro’s ROE under SBS GAAP for the year ended December 31, 2023 was 25.6%, as compared to 16.9% for the year ended December 31, 2022. According to the SBS, for the year ended December 31, 2023, Interseguro was the second most profitable insurance company by ROE, when compared to the five other largest insurance companies in Peru.

Annuities
An annuity is a type of insurance policy that, in exchange for an initial lump sum payment, provides regular monthly payments. Interseguro offers three types of annuities: soles, U.S. dollars and soles indexed to CPI, adjusted by 2% per year.
There are two groups of annuities: (i) Regular Retirement Annuities are the annuities sold under the Peruvian private pension system, and (ii) Private Annuities which include the Renta Privada product. In Peru, employees may choose to deposit their cumulative contributions in the public or the private pension system. Under the private pension system, upon retirement, a retiree has the option of converting the capital accumulated into a personal account maintained with an AFP, collecting 95.5% of their accumulated capital or converting the capital into an annuity offered by an insurance company, such as Interseguro.
74
In 2016, following the enactment of Law No. 30425, retirees are allowed to withdraw up to 95.5% of their accumulated capital in cash upon retirement. As a result, there was a significant reduction of annuities sold by Peruvian insurance companies, including Interseguro. In order to maintain the leadership in annuities, Interseguro launched Private Annuities. This product allows retirees to receive a fixed income either for life or temporarily. Interseguro was the first insurance company to introduce this type of product to the market in response to the new law. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, most of the clients of Private Annuities and their funds originate from retirees that choose to withdraw the 95.5% of their pension funds.
In addition to Regular Retirement Annuities and Private Annuities, Interseguro also offers disability annuities to members of the Peruvian private pension system who have been declared permanently or partially disabled before reaching retirement age and thus unable to access a sufficient pension and survivorship annuities for beneficiaries of deceased members of the system.
The following table shows Interseguro’s Annuity Gross Premiums by type from 2019 to 2023.

Interseguro’s annuities products include:
Regular Retirement Annuities
Retirement. The retirement annuity product is directed to members of the Peruvian private pension system who are 65 years of age or older and retiring. This product represented 0.4% of annuities sold by Interseguro for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to 0.3% for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 0.4% for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Early Retirement. The early retirement product was offered to members of the Peruvian private pension system who are not yet 65 years of age, but who are permitted to have access to their Peruvian private pension system accounts if the savings in such accounts allow for a pension of at least 40% of the average last 120 months’ compensation. The early retirement annuity products represented 0.0% of annuities sold by Interseguro for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to 0.0% for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 0.1% for the year ended December 31, 2021. Peruvian law was modified and since May 2019, in order to access this product, men must be at least 55 years old and women 50 years old. This change is intended to fill a loophole in the law that allowed affiliates to deliberately increase their funds with additional deposits, in order to access early retirement and withdraw 95.5% of their total pension funds, regardless of age. This modification closing the loophole should positively impact the annuities market slightly, as it helps in retaining affiliates in the private pension system for longer
Special Early Retirement. The special early retirement product was offered until December 2018 to members of the Peruvian private pension system who are 55 years of age or older and male, or 50 years of age or older and female, and are retiring and have not been contributing to the Peruvian private pension system for at least 12 months. Since May 2019, Peruvian law established that this regime is permanent and in order to access this product, if a retiree receives income during the period in which they have not been contributing, total income must be less than or equal to seven UIT (Unidad Impositiva Tributaria).
75
This product is more flexible than the standard early retirement annuity product. The special early retirement annuity product represented 0.0% of annuities sold by Interseguro for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to 0.0% for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Private Annuities. The Private Annuities product was launched in 2016 allowing the recovery of Interseguro’s premiums and collections from the effects of the Law No. 30425, enacted in 2016. This product can be sold to any owner of private funds and is not restricted to members of the system and their accumulated capital. The annuity can have any duration and the lump sum invested can be partially or totally repaid at the end of the annuity, if it has one. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, most of the clients and their funds come from retirees that chose to withdraw 95.5% of their accumulated capital. Private Annuities represented 32.4% of annuities sold by Interseguro for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to 26.9% and 32.9% for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Disability and Survivorship Annuities
Disability and Survivorship. Under Peruvian law there is a mandatory insurance coverage for all members of the pension system paid monthly in addition to their contribution. In case a member has been declared permanently or partially disabled, or deceased while having legal beneficiaries, this insurance completes the accumulated capital as if the individual had worked until retirement age, allowing a better pension when applying for the retirement. While this insurance is not an annuity, it is closely related to the one we describe next. Disability and survivorship represented 1.6% of annuities sold by Interseguro for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to 1.3% and 1.0% for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The SBS conducts a Dutch auction every two years inviting insurance companies to bid to determine which insurance company will be the provider for this insurance in a two-year period. Interseguro was successful in the 2015 auction, and as a result of the merger with Seguros Sura, they were also a provider for 2017. Interseguro participated in the auction for the 2021-2023 years but were not successful; they expect to bid again at the next auction. Although this will represent a decrease in gross premiums in the following years, Interseguro ceded almost 100% of disability and survivorship gross premiums; therefore, the effect on net profit is minimal.
Disability and Survivorship Annuities. The disability and survivorship annuity product is offered to members of the Peruvian private pension system who have been declared permanently or partially disabled and to beneficiaries of deceased members of the Peruvian private pension system. This annuity is offered in conjunction with the disability and survivorship mandatory insurance. Disability and survivorship annuity products accounted for 65.6% annuities sold by Interseguro for the year period ended December 31, 2023 as compared to 71.5% and 65.7% for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
All retirement annuities sold under the Peruvian private pension system offer monthly payments for the life of the policyholder and thus the initial lump sum is never recovered. A retiree’s joint choice of an insurance company, currency denomination and retirement modality is irrevocable.
Product differentiation is limited in the Peruvian annuities sector, as product features are regulated by the SBS. The market position of each insurance company is driven instead by its sales strategy and quality of service. Interseguro’s sales strategy, consisting of providing ongoing sales force training, and implementing innovative control and management mechanisms, has permitted Interseguro to be the market leader in the annuities sector over the past four years, with an increasing advantage over the second largest market participant.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, Interseguro’s market share by annuity premiums (including Private Annuities and excluding Previsional Insurance) was 18.9%, nearly 3.1 basis points higher than its next competitor’s market share.
Retail Insurance
Interseguro offers simple, low-cost premium products targeted to middle class families and sold mainly through Interbank financial stores, as well as channels owned by Intercorp Peru, including Intercorp Retail points of sale (Plaza Vea and Oechsle) and digital channels. In 2016, Interseguro expanded its retail insurance portfolio with an online sale for the launch of the digital SOAT and in 2018, with travel insurance and vehicle insurance.
Interseguro offers the following retail insurance products:
Credit Life Insurance. The credit life insurance product protects against death or disability of the insured and is designed to pay the debt owed by a customer to the financial institution. This product is available for mortgages, credit cards and personal loans. Credit life insurance represented 59.7% of total retail insurance premiums assumed by Interseguro for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to 57.6% and 55.1% for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
76
Debit and Credit Card Protection Insurance. The debit and credit card protection insurance product protects the insured against financial loss, medical expenses for hospitalization or accidental death as a result of theft, assault and abduction. Debit and credit card protection insurance represented 15.2% of total retail insurance premiums assumed by Interseguro for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to 6.7% and 8.2% for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
SOAT (Seguro Obligatorio de Accidentes de Tránsito). The SOAT product protects against the risk of death or injury to occupants and third parties involved in an automobile accident. The SOAT product is mandatory, and coverage is limited to cover personal injury, excluding any physical damage to the vehicle. The SOAT product accounted for 14.3% of total retail insurance premiums assumed by Interseguro for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to 14.4% and 20.1% for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Vehicle Insurance. The vehicle insurance coverage includes damage to vehicles due to traffic accidents, total loss, theft, fire, nature risks, strikes or vandalism and civil liability for occupants and third parties. Occupants’ damages such as permanent disability, healing expenses, funeral expenses and death are also covered. In addition, this insurance includes replacement drivers, cranes and mechanical assistance, among others. Vehicle Insurance represented 3.7%, 5.2% and 4.2% of total retail insurance premiums assumed by Interseguro for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Loan Protection Insurance. The loan protection insurance covers a specific number of payments of a loan in case the insured loses his job. Loan protection insurance accounted for 3.1% of total retail insurance premiums assumed by Interseguro for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to 4.8% and 5.0% for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Extended Warranty. The extended warranty product extends the product’s original warranty period by about 12–24 months. Extended warranty product accounted for 0.1% of total retail insurance premiums assumed by Interseguro for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to 2.3% and 3.3% for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Others. The other products category protects against personal accidents. Other products accounted for 4.0% of total retail insurance premiums assumed by Interseguro for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to 10.2% and 8.4% for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Individual Life
Although the individual life insurance market remains relatively small in Peru, the market has grown at a CAGR of 4.6% between December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the individual life insurance market increased 11.3% as compared to 2022, primarily due to the recovery of the Peruvian economy and digitalization of sales processes which boosted sales of individual life products.
Interseguro offers a variety of individual life insurance products, providing a wide range of coverage for the length of a policyholder’s life. Most of Interseguro’s products also provide savings features.
Interseguro’s strategy in individual life insurance consists in adapting its products to the emerging Peruvian middle class, developing a highly trained sales force, achieving high standards of sales efficiency and leveraging digitalization to increase sales of life insurance. For the year ended December 31, 2023, Interseguro positioned itself as the third largest participant in the individual life insurance market, with a 17.4% market share by individual life premiums, according to the SBS.
Sales Force
Interseguro markets its annuities and individual life insurance products through its own dedicated sales force both in Lima and across Peru’s provinces, without a third-party intermediary. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Interseguro retooled its sales force to provide customers with a 100% remote assistance and digital operation. Prior to the pandemic, sales in annuities and life insurance products were only conducted in-person, but digitalization of these sales was accelerated.
In annuities, Interseguro employed 87 agents, 41 in Lima and 46 outside of Lima as of December 31, 2023. Each salesperson receives continuous training through a multiple-level program, which includes training in macroeconomic background, financial statement analysis, investment policy, marketing techniques and time management. In addition, Interseguro’s annuity sales agents specialize in the sale of different types of annuity products. As a result, Interseguro’s sales force is trained to satisfy each customer’s needs.
In life insurance, Interseguro employed 619 agents, 418 agents in Lima and 201 agents outside of Lima, as of December 31, 2023. In addition, Interseguro employs servicing agents with the aim of servicing existing life insurance policies. We
77
believe that constant training develops effective sales techniques and the skills to assess customer needs, which we believe is one of Interseguro’s critical competitive advantages. Interseguro has a specialized team focused on setting a training curriculum for each salesperson in the first three years with the company as well as in assigning a mentor to each new recruit.
As of December 31, 2023, Interseguro works with three brokers nationwide to offer SOAT. Interseguro also works with insurance brokers to sell SOAT to increase coverage in Peru with limited capital investment. As of December 31, 2023, the brokerage channel accounts for approximately 13.8% of Interseguro’s total SOAT sales.
Strategic Partners
Interseguro offers its retail insurance, such as credit life insurance, debit and credit card protection insurance, loan protection insurance, SOAT and extended warranty through non-traditional channels, including partnerships with Interbank and Intercorp Retail.
Through its partner companies, Interseguro reaches a large number of customers, offering a convenient and reliable payment mechanism. This distribution network represents one of Interseguro’s strongest competitive advantages, as it allows for a broad insurance product offering through several points of sales.
Interseguro’s retail insurance division used the following distribution channels to sell its products as of December 31, 2023:

Investments and Investment Management
Investment Portfolio
Interseguro invests the insurance premiums yet to be paid out in claims in its investment portfolio, based on a policy of capital conservation and adequate diversification.
The main objective of Interseguro’s investment portfolio is to cover its future payment obligations, associated mainly with its annuities business. Interseguro maintains a conservative asset liability management approach, matching its obligations by currency and maturity. Interseguro’s portfolio focuses on investment grade fixed-income instruments in U.S. dollars, soles and inflation linked notes, mitigating interest rate, inflation, and currency risks. Interseguro’s obligations consist of technical obligations related to annuities that are sold at a fixed interest rate, thus Interseguro prioritizes the investments on fixed income securities that hedge such obligations. Based on Interseguro’s investment strategy, its portfolio shows asset sufficiency to cover insurance liabilities at a currency, duration, inflation and interest rate levels that hedge against volatility in these factors.
Given that the Peruvian market offers a limited range of long-term investment instruments, Interseguro has sought to increase its investments outside of Peru and explore alternative investments in the local market, such as real estate projects.
Interseguro is required to comply with the following investment management principles according to the SBS:
| • | Security Principle. Based on the protection and preservation of the economic value of assets over time. |
| • | Liquidity Principle. Consist of the availability of an asset to be converted into cash at the required time and without significantly affecting its value. |
| • | Diversification Principle. Based on the set of assets that contribute to the diversification of the risk factors of the portfolio and reduction of the potential impact of adverse effects. |
78
| • | Parity Principle. Parity between the characteristics of the asset and the obligations that it supports. These features include the term or horizon, the degree of liquidity or enforceability, currency, volatility in valuation, predictability and timing of flows, among others. |
| • | Profitability Principle. Based on generation of returns that would cover at least the commitments offered to policyholders. |
Additionally, as established by the investment regulation of insurance companies, Interseguro must meet its technical obligations. As part of the coverage of the technical obligation proceeds, Interseguro must follow the investment management principles established in the regulation and comply with the eligibility requirements of its investments by type of assets.
Regarding the investment eligibility, to consider an asset as eligible, it must not be affected or be subject to any precautionary measure. The custody agreements of the eligible investment must not contain any clause that allows use of such assets as collateral to back other company obligations and that there are no other measures that limit the free transfer of the assets. Furthermore, eligible investments must comply with certain investment limits, by issuer, economic group, asset and foreign issuers. In addition, assets rated in categories below the investment grade cannot be considered as an eligible investment.
Interseguro’s investment management complies with the limits and requirements indicated in the regulation in order to minimize non-eligible investments and comply with the coverage of its technical reserves, minimum solvency capital required and guaranty fund.
As of December 31, 2023, Interseguro’s investments amounted to S/14,051.4 million, of which S/12,018.2 million and S/735.0 million were fixed income securities, and equity securities and fund investments, respectively, as compared S/12,582.8 million, of which S/10,544.5 million and S/750.5 million were fixed income securities, and equity securities and fund investments, respectively, for 2022. As of December 31, 2023, investments in real estate projects were S/1,298.2 million (approximately U.S.$350.5 million) as compared to S/1,287.7 million (approximately U.S.$337.6 million) for 2022.

Business Lines

Payments acquirer
Izipay offers merchants an end-to-end payments solution that provides authorization and settlement capabilities, helping merchants connect with their customers, process exchanges and returns, and manage risk. This is Izipay’s main activities, accounting for most of its revenues.
For its payments acquirer activities, Izipay generates revenue from credit, debit and prepaid card transactions by charging a merchant discount rate, or MDR, a commission withheld by Izipay from the transaction value paid to the merchant. The transaction amount, less the MDR, is credited to the merchant’s account. Izipay’s MDR pricing model is standardized, easy to understand and transparent. It also offers customized MDR pricing for certain merchants who process large payment volumes.
Correspondent Banking

For its correspondent banking activities, Izipay earns revenues primarily from fees of financial and administrative transactions and fees for each exclusive POS terminal installed.
Credit Card Processing
Izipay uses world-class software (Credit Management Systems) to provide its services. Through this system, we can manage the credit and prepaid card accounts of our clients, who are mainly financial institutions, which allows them to control credit card balances, issue account statements, calculate payment schedules, among other functions.

86
COMPETITION
We face intense competition in all of our segments, which can affect our margins, growth and profitability.
Peruvian Banking System and Competition
During the 1990s, the Peruvian economy underwent a major transformation, from being a highly protected and regulated system prevailing in the 1980s to a free-market economy. During this period, protectionist and interventionist laws and policies were gradually dismantled to create a liberal economy dominated by the private sector. Similarly, the Peruvian financial industry underwent deep structural changes that resulted in a significant expansion of credit. From 1993 to 1998, performing loans in the Peruvian financial system grew at a five-year CAGR of 45.9%, and banking penetration in Peru, measured as the ratio of loans-to-GDP, rose from 10.2% to 26.4% according to the SBS.
In 1998, the rise in international interest rates that followed the Russian default led to large outflows of capital from Peru, resulting in a 15.8% depreciation of the sol. The strong depreciation of the sol, coupled with the strong dollarization of the Peruvian Banking system prevalent at that time (81% of the loans were denominated in U.S. dollars) led to a sharp deterioration of the Peruvian banking system’s loan portfolio quality and to a contraction in total loans. Past-due loans in the system peaked at 9.4% of total gross loans as of January 31, 2000, resulting in increased provisions and large capital losses for financial institutions.
However, from 2001 onwards, as macroeconomic conditions improved, the general banking industry indicators in Peru began also to improve. Past-due loans dropped from 9.0% of total gross loans as of December 31, 2001 to 3.7% as of December 31, 2004, and loan reserves over past-due loans increased from 118.9% as of December 31, 2001 to 176.5% as of December 31, 2004 according to the SBS.
From 2005 to 2008, fostered by a steady and sustained improvement in Peru’s macroeconomic indicators, credit expanded again, with performing loans growing 25.2% in 2005, 18.0% in 2006, 34.7% in 2007 and 38.2% in 2008. The global financial crisis that started in late 2008 temporarily reduced credit growth as performing loans remained flat in 2009. Growth returned following the crisis, with the banking system in Peru experiencing a significant expansion of credit from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2013. During this period, gross loans in the Peruvian banking system grew at a five-year CAGR of 13.0% and banking penetration in Peru, measured as the ratio of loans-to-GDP, rose from 24.8% to 30.4%, according to the SBS and the Central Reserve Bank of Peru.
From December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2023, the banking system in Peru continued to grow steadily, with gross loans expanding at a four-year CAGR of 5.2%, according to the SBS. A significant part of the growth experienced by the Peruvian financial system since 2017 has been generated by the retail banking sector. Retail loans (including consumer loans and mortgages) grew at a four-year CAGR of 6.8% for the period ended December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, approximately 39.1% of the Peruvian banking sector’s total loans were retail loans, down from higher than the 36.8% as of December 31, 2019.
According to the SBS, the total number of credit cards issued by the Peruvian Banking system as of December 31, 2023 was approximately 6,366 million. For the period ended December 31, 2023, the Peruvian banking system’s credit card loans four-year CAGR was positive 2.8%, while credit cards loans increased 11.5% between December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023 as a result of economic growth and increased consumer spending.
Mortgage loans in the Peruvian banking system grew at a four-year CAGR of 6.5% for the period ended December 31, 2023 and 5.1% between December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023. A responsible macroeconomic approach, high housing demand and the promotion of housing programs over the past five years have been the main drivers of mortgage loan growth in Peru and are expected to continue fueling mortgage lending.
Despite this growth, the Peruvian banking system remains underpenetrated in comparison to the banking systems from the group of peer countries in Latin America. As of December 31, 2023, Peru’s loans-to-GDP ratio was 35%, less than half the ratio of 83% for Chile. The Peruvian banking system is highly concentrated in a small number of relatively large participants. The four largest banks accounted for 83.4% of total gross loans and 82.2% of total deposits in the system as of December 31, 2023. Furthermore, foreign banks play a significant role in the Peruvian financial system. As of December 31, 2023, BBVA and Scotiabank, two of the four largest banks in the system, which accounted for a combined 36.3% of total gross loans and 32.8% of total deposits, according to the SBS, were under foreign control. Although other major global banks such as BNP Paribas, Standard Chartered, Intesa, BankBoston, HSBC and Deutsche Bank have ceased operations in Peru over the past 15 years, other foreign banks have entered or have shown interest in entering or increasing their exposure in the Peruvian market.
The Peruvian banking system’s net income CAGR from 2019 to 2023 was 0.4%, reaching S/9,266 million in 2023.

As of December 31, 2023, the banking system cost of risk and past due loan (“PDL”) ratio stands at 2.4% and 4.3%, respectively.
Innovation across Peru’s financial system is shifting banks focus to digital transformation, as consumers increasingly prefer digital transactions. According to ASBANC (Asociación de Bancos del Perú), Peru presents itself as a market with high potential for fintechs because of the substantial percentage of people and small/medium size enterprises that do not have access to the financial system. Fintech companies are not just competitors but can also act as potential strategic partners for banks; these companies have a suitable environment to mature for several reasons: a high level of mobile phone penetration; a rising use of digital services and the relatively low cost of technology.
Interbank is currently the fourth largest bank in Peru, as measured by commercial lending and total assets and third largest bank, as measured by retail lending and total deposits, as of December 31, 2023, and has faced strong competition, including increased pressure on margins, primarily as a result of the presence of commercial banks in the Peruvian market with substantial capital, technology and marketing resources, as well as from Peruvian pension funds that lend to Interbank’s current and potential commercial customers. This increased competition has affected the average interest rates that the Peruvian banking system has been able to charge its customers. Despite being the fourth largest bank in Peru, Interbank continues to be strongly positioned in the consumer sector, being the second largest bank in gross consumer loans as of December 31, 2023, according to the SBS.
The following tables show Interbank, the rest of the Peruvian banking system and their respective market shares as of December 31, 2023.

Fintech Landscape
In recent years, fintech entities have gained global relevance in financial services, with a focus on financial inclusion, payments solutions for individuals and companies, lending activities, insurance and investment needs. According to the CB insights, investments in fintechs on a global basis decreased between 2022 and 2023, while fintech-related investments in Latin America decreased 68% over the same period. In this region, investments in fintech entities have mostly targeted companies in countries like Brazil, Mexico and Colombia, which have critical mass populations. However, in Peru, partnerships between traditional financial institutions and fintech entities have started to occur, which we expect will expand opportunities to share competitive advantages and result in mutually beneficial opportunities to better serve current markets or access new ones. In 2021, Interbank scaled its open banking initiative and integrated with several new partners to offer its financial services through new channels. For example, Interbank announced a partnership with Kambista, a Peruvian fintech which allows users to exchange U.S. dollars to soles through an online currency exchange platform.
Peruvian Insurance Industry and Competition
The Peruvian insurance industry is well-capitalized, with a solvency ratio (patrimonio efectivo / requerimientos patrimoniales) of 130% under Peruvian SBS GAAP as of December 31, 2023, and operates under a well-established regulatory framework.
Following the decline of the industry prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, insurance premiums grew at a four-year CAGR of 9.5% for the period ended December 31, 2023. Insurance premiums in Peru reached S/20.3 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023, representing an 8.1% year-over-year increase.
Life insurance premiums represented approximately 51.9% of total insurance premiums in Peru for the year ended December 31, 2023. In April 2016, a new regulation was approved in Peru, allowing pensioners to withdraw up to 95.5% of their retirement funds. While this measure had a negative impact on market size, life insurance annuities have increased at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2019 to 2023.
Growth of the annuities’ segment is expected to resume as the number of Peruvian private pension system’s retirees and their respective average pension balances increase. Currently, Peru’s private pension system covers nine million citizens, 95.9% of whom are under 65 years (legal retirement age). According to the SBS, in 2023, more than 5.4 million people are expected to retire in Peru between the next 10 and 30 years.

Insurtech Landscape
In the last 10 years, advances in technology and data analytics have been accelerating the potential development of insurtechs in different parts of the value chain of the insurance industry. Despite a slowdown in Insurtech M&A activity compared to previous years, the market remains vibrant. Notably, European investors are expanding their horizons beyond the United States and
98
United Kingdom, actively pursuing insurtech opportunities in Europe and Asia. This shift reflects a maturing market where funding prioritizes established players seeking growth investments and strategic acquisitions. This trend is evident in the last decade’s significant funding activity, with Europe and Asia catching up to the US in terms of investment volume. Since 2016, there were 309 deals involving insurtech funding in the United States during this period, in the combined amount of U.S.$ 10.4 billion, while there were 960 deals in Europe, in the combined amount of U.S.$ 10.6 billion, and 65 deals in Asia, in the combined amount of U.S.$1.1 billion.

Our credit card and prepaid processing business line primarily competes with other third-party payment card processors, the card brands, core banking platform providers, independent software vendors and various other firms that provide products and services to payment card issuers in Peru. Banks do not delegate debit card processing, they do it with their internal core system. Our primary competitor in this space is Unibanca.

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION
The Peruvian Financial and Insurance Systems
A substantial part of our activities are conducted through Interbank and Interseguro, our banking and insurance subsidiaries, respectively, operating in Peru. A summary of the Peruvian financial and insurance regulatory framework is set forth below.
General Overview of the Peruvian Financial Regulatory Framework
Peruvian banking regulation follows the standards set by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. Peruvian banks and other Peruvian financial institutions are primarily governed by two banking regulatory authorities: the SBS and the Central Reserve Bank of Peru. The Peruvian Constitution establishes that the SBS’s main function and responsibility is to protect depositors of the Peruvian financial system, while the main function of the Central Reserve Bank of Peru is to preserve monetary stability. In addition, Peruvian banks are subject to certain regulations of the SMV.
The regulatory framework for the operation of the Peruvian financial and insurance sector is set in the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law approved by Law No. 26702, which was enacted in December 1996. The Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law regulates Peruvian financial and insurance companies and private pension funds administrators. In accordance with the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, the SBS is responsible for issuing banking regulations and for monitoring the Peruvian banking financial and insurance sector. The SBS supervises and regulates financial institutions such as commercial banks, financial companies, financial leasing companies, small business financial companies, savings and loan corporations, financial services companies such as trust companies and investment banks, insurance companies, private pension fund administrators and savings and loans cooperatives (other financial institutions such as stock brokerage houses and mutual fund managers are subject to different legal frameworks and to the supervision of the SMV). The SBS became operational in 1931.
Financial and insurance institutions must seek the authorization of the SBS before initiating operations. The SBS has administrative and financial autonomy, and its head office is located in Lima. The current chairwoman of the SBS, María del Socorro Heysen Zegarra, was appointed by former President Kuczynski in August 2016.
In June 2011, the Basel Committee announced the issuance of the Basel III principles. The changes introduced have been designed to be implemented progressively. The SBS, by use of its regulatory attributes, has issued several regulations that seek to adapt the Peruvian financial system to the new Basel Capital Accords.
On December 27, 2021, SBS Resolution No. 3921-2021 amended requirements to cover market concentration risk and gave financial institutions a term of two years to adequate to new requirements. Consistent with certain aspects of Basel III, the SBS issued in 2022, SBS Resolution No. 03953-2022 and SBS Resolution No. 03954-2022 in order to update the methodologies for calculating the individual and sector concentration risk buffers (including regional and economic sector concentration) eliminating the capital buffer requirement for risk appetite and maintaining the requirement for measuring the interest rate risk of the banking book.
In March 2022, the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law was amended by Legislative Decree No. 1531 (which became effective on January 1, 2023) to adapt the regulations applicable to the companies of the financial system, related to the composition of the effective equity to the Basel III principles (including but not limited to the alignment of the capital conservation buffer in the Peruvian regulation to the Basel III principles). In December 2022, the SBS approved six resolutions aimed at adapting the regulatory framework of the financial system more generally to the Basel III principles (including issuance of SBS Resolution No. 3950-2022, which amended the regulation applicable to subordinated debt of financial institutions (Reglamento de Deuda Subordinada Aplicable a las Empresas del Sistema Financiero) (the “Subordinated Debt Regulation Applicable to Financial Institutions”) in order to adjust the application of Basel III standards and to reflect recent amendments to the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law and entered into effect on January 1, 2023, repealing the prior subordinated debt regulation, which had been approved by SBS Resolution No. 975-2016).
Peruvian banks, financial institutions and insurance companies are mainly regulated and supervised by the following administrative institutions:
The SBS
The SBS is the regulatory authority charged with the implementation and enforcement of the requirements contained in the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, and, more generally, with the regulation and supervision of all financial and insurance companies in Peru and, since July 2005, the private pension funds administrators.
101
Its objectives include: (i) protecting the public interest; (ii) safeguarding the financial stability of the institutions over which it has authority; and (iii) punishing violators of its regulations.
Its main responsibilities include: (i) reviewing and approving, with the assistance of the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, the establishment, organization and operations of the institutions it regulates and their subsidiaries; (ii) overseeing mergers, dissolutions and reorganizations of banks, financial institutions and insurance companies; (iii) supervising financial, insurance and related companies from which information on an individual or consolidated basis is required, through changes in ownership and management control (this supervision also applies to non-bank holding companies, such as us and Intercorp Peru); (iv) reviewing the by-laws and amendments thereto of these companies; (v) setting forth criteria governing the transfer of bank shares, when permitted by law, for valuation of assets and liabilities and for minimum capital requirements; (vi) controlling the Central de Riesgos (Bank Risk Assessment Center), to which all banks are legally required to provide information regarding all businesses and individuals with whom they deal without regard to the amount of credit risk (the information provided is made available to all banks to allow them to monitor individual borrowers’ overall exposure to Peru’s financial system); and (vii) supervising the anti-money laundering system through the financial intelligence unit (“UIF,” for its Spanish acronym).
The SBS enforces the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law on an ongoing basis through periodic resolutions. The Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law provides for stringent loan loss reserve standards, brings asset risk weighing in line with the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision guidelines and includes the supervision of holding companies of financial institutions by the SBS.
For the foregoing purpose, the SBS requires banks, financial and insurance companies to report, on a periodic basis, all relevant information necessary for off-site evaluation of its financial performance. The relevant information for off-site evaluation includes audited financial statements on a consolidated basis, board of directors’ reports, auditor’s reports and any other reports which reflect the operation of a bank’s business. Under current practice, such reporting is required on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and semi-annual basis, depending on the nature of the reported information.
The SBS is also responsible for conducting on-site examinations of banks on an annual basis, implementing the provisions of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law and other related legislation, examining all banking and insurance operations, and analyzing the relationship between assets, liabilities, net worth, profit and loss accounts and all other factors affecting a bank’s financial structure.
The SBS has the power to impose administrative sanctions on financial institutions and their directors and employees as a result of any violation of the Peruvian financial and insurance system rules. Sanctions vary from monetary fines to license cancellation. The SBS may also sanction directors and other officers of financial institutions for breach of regulations under the supervision of the SBS.
The Central Reserve Bank of Peru
The Central Reserve Bank of Peru was incorporated in 1922. Pursuant to the Peruvian Constitution, its primary role is to ensure the stability of the Peruvian monetary system and perform the functions common to a central or reserve bank, such as issuing bank notes, implementing governmental monetary policies, regulating the money supply, managing official gold and foreign exchange reserves and managing the interbank cash clearance system. The Central Reserve Bank of Peru exercises its power and authority independently and is responsible for its affairs in accordance with the government’s policies. The Central Reserve Bank of Peru is empowered to determine the inflation target and to adopt a monetary policy in accordance thereof and is also responsible for establishing mandatory minimum liquidity reserves. The Central Reserve Bank of Peru manages Peruvian international reserves and gathers and publishes data on its finances and is also the sole issuer of Peruvian currency.
The highest decision-making authority within the Central Reserve Bank of Peru is its seven-member Board of Directors. Each Director serves a five-year term. Of the seven Directors, four are selected by the Executive Power and three are selected by Congress. The Chairman of the Central Reserve Bank of Peru is one of the Executive Power nominees but must be approved by Congress.
The Central Reserve Bank of Peru Board of Directors develops and oversees monetary policy, establishes reserve requirements for entities within the financial system, and approves guidelines for the management of international reserves. All entities within the financial system are required to comply with the decisions of the Central Reserve Bank of Peru.
In addition, Law N° 29440 (as amended), designated the Central Reserve Bank of Peru as the Peruvian payment system regulatory authority. As such, it has the authority to issue regulation related to the functioning of the Peruvian payment systems. In that role, under Circular No. 024-2022-BCRP, as amended, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru passed rules on the interoperability of payment services. See “— The Peruvian Payment’s System” for a discussion of applicable obligations to the entities participating in the Peruvian payment system.
102
The SMV
The SMV is the Peruvian securities market regulatory authority, attached to the Ministry of Economy and Finance (Ministerio de Economía y Finanzas). The main purpose of the SMV is promoting, overseeing and regulating the securities market, supervising and controlling all individuals and entities that intervene in such market, and enforcing compliance with the provisions of the Peruvian Securities Market Law and its regulations.
Pursuant to Article 29 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, the issued and outstanding shares of Peruvian banks must be registered with the SMV and listed with the BVL. Therefore, according to the Peruvian Securities Market Law and its regulations, listed companies such as banks and insurance companies are required to file with the SMV and the BVL, in Spanish and on a going forward basis, quarterly and annual financial reports.
In addition, these companies are required to disclose to the market in a timely manner (on the same day when the event occurs) all information that investors are reasonably likely to consider material. Specific regulations provide for specific parameters to determine what is considered material information (hechos de importancia).
In March 2014, regulations related to disclosure of material information were amended. By virtue of such regulations, issuers under supervision of the SMV are required to disclose all material information in connection with the issuer of registered securities (such as our common shares) and its activities or securities issued or secured by such issuer which may influence the liquidity or price of such securities.
Also, issuers whose securities are also traded in foreign markets must file with the SMV all information that is required to be disclosed to investors on such foreign market as soon as such information is delivered to foreign regulators.
Banking Regulation and Supervision
Banking regulations and capital adequacy in Peru take into account the recommendations of the Basel Committee. The SBS has adopted the principles and guidelines of Basel II and Basel III. Also, the SBS has mandated a minimum regulatory capital requirement for Peruvian banks and, in accordance with the amendments brought by Legislative Decree No. 1531 to the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law. In 2022, the SBS also issued resolutions that follow the three objectives for Basel III (i.e., increased capital, establishment of liquidity standards and improvement in the quality of capital). However, the implementation of other Basel III principles, such as the net stable funding ratio, have yet to be implemented in Peru. We cannot provide any assurances as to whether or to what extent the SBS may adopt any pending Basel III standards, and whether these standards will be applied exactly as recommended by the Basel Committee.
Since August 2022, the SBS has issued several regulations focused on furthering Basel III compliance, including regulations or amendments to existing regulation related to subordinated debt (SBS Resolution N° 03950-2022), capital requirements (SBS Resolution N° 03951-2022, SBS Resolution N° 03952-2022 and SBS Resolution N° 03953-2022), capital requirements for credit risk market and operational risks (SBS Resolution N° 03954-2022 and SBS Resolution N° 03955-2022).
Capital Adequacy Requirements—Basel III
Under the amended provisions of Article 199 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, and on an unconsolidated basis, the regulatory capital (patrimonio efectivo) may not be lower than 10% of its total weighted assets, the latter being defined as the sum of: (i) the regulatory capital allocated to cover market risks multiplied by the inverse of the overall limit (límite global), (ii) the regulatory capital allocated to cover operational risks multiplied by the inverse of the overall limit (límite global); and (iii) the total amount of credit risk-weighted assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, according to SBS Resolution No. 03952-2022 (as amended from time to time), published on December 27, 2022, the SBS established a gradual implementation schedule (from 8.5% for January—March 2023 to 10% for March 2025 and onward). In addition, the amended provisions of Article 199 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law established that (i) ordinary capital Tier 1 shall be equal or higher than 4.5% of its total weighted assets and (ii) Tier 1 Regulatory Capital shall be equal or higher than 6% of its total weighted assets.
According to the amended provisions of Articles 184 and 185 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law (as amended by Legislative Decree No. 1531), regulatory capital is defined as the sum of: (i) Tier 1 Regulatory Capital; and Tier 2 Regulatory Capital.
Tier 1 Regulatory Capital is comprised of (i) the ordinary equity (which includes common stock and other paid-in capital instruments), capital premiums, dividends, unrealized gains, legal and voluntary reserves, donations and other elements as defined by the SBS and (ii) additional Tier 1 Regulatory Capital, which includes capital instruments, capital premiums and certain subordinated debt, premiums, of the above indicated instruments and other elements as defined by the SBS. Tier 1 ordinary capital is subject to, among others, the following deductions: losses of prior years and of the current year, unrealized losses, any provisions
103
deficit, and goodwill resulting from corporate reorganizations and acquisitions, deferred tax assets, investments in Tier 1 Regulatory securities of other financial institutions, investment in own shares (treasury stock) and others as mandated by the SBS, and additional Tier 1 Regulatory Capital is subject to, among others, the following deductions: holdings, directly or indirectly, of equity and/or subordinated debt instruments eligible for additional Tier 1 Regulatory Capital, which have been issued by the company itself and which are held in treasury and investments in equity and/or subordinated debt instruments eligible for additional Tier 1 Regulatory Capital, issued by companies of the financial system or the insurance system, domestic or foreign and others as mandated by the SBS through general regulations.
Tier 2 Regulatory Capital consists of (i) equity and subordinated debt instruments, not included in Tier 1 Regulatory Capital, that meet the conditions set forth by the SBS, (ii) premiums of the above mentioned instruments, (iii) generic provisions up to 1.25% of the assets and contingencies weighted by credit risk when the standard method is used to determine the regulatory capital requirement for credit risk, and (iv) other elements as defined by the SBS. Tier 2 Regulatory Capital is subject to certain deductions under the law, such as: holdings, directly or indirectly, of equity and/or subordinated debt instruments eligible for additional Tier 2 Regulatory Capital, which have been issued by the company itself and which are held in treasury and investments in equity and/or subordinated debt instruments eligible for additional Tier 2 Regulatory Capital, issued by companies of the financial system or the insurance system, domestic or foreign and others as mandated by the SBS through general regulations.
Banks are required to prepare and submit to the SBS, within the first 15 days of each month, a report analyzing the bank’s assets for the previous month and the total amount of the bank’s regulatory capital. Foreign currency denominated assets are valued in soles at an average exchange rate published by the SBS in effect as of the date of such report. The SBS shall establish the periodicity, format and other pertinent conditions of the reports to be submitted by Peruvian banks. The aforementioned reports must include (i) the equity requirement; (ii) the positions affected by the different risks; (iii) financial statements and other matters considered relevant by the SBS.
As part of the implementation of the Basel III standards, the SBS issued SBS Resolution No. 03950-2022 in December 2022 regulating new dispositions applicable for subordinated debt, in order to update the form of computation in the different levels and sublevels of the regulatory capital, in accordance with the characteristics of each element. This resolution became effective on January 1, 2023 and is applicable to subordinated debt incurred or created as from such date. However, subordinated debt incurred or created prior to its enactment will still be considered in the calculation of regulatory capital.
In addition, SBS Resolution No. 03950-2022 was enacted mainly to reflect the new composition of the regulatory capital. As a result, non-redeemable subordinated debt is taken into account for the computation of additional Tier 1 Regulatory Capital, as opposed to the previous treatment, which allowed its computation as either Tier 1 or Tier 2 Regulatory Capital. Similarly, redeemable subordinated debt becomes part of the computation of Tier 2 Regulatory Capital only.
In accordance with SBS Resolution No. 03952-2022 (as amended from time to time) (which amended the SBS Resolution No. 14354-2009) that became effective on January 1, 2023, the 1,000% factor for risk-weighted assets for intangibles (excluding goodwill), deferred tax assets that originate from operating losses and deferred tax assets that exceed the threshold of 10% of “adjusted total capital” were removed from the computation of regulatory capital. To replicate the deductions established by Basel III, deferred income tax assets net of deferred income tax liabilities arising from temporary differences that do not exceed the threshold of 10% of Tier 1 Regulatory Capital will receive a weighting factor of 250%.
Further Implementation of Basel III Principles
Consistent with certain aspects of Basel III, the SBS issued SBS Resolution No. 03953-2022 and SBS Resolution No. 03954-2022 in order to update the methodologies for calculating the individual and sector concentration risk buffers (including regional and economic sector concentration) eliminating the capital buffer requirement for risk appetite and maintaining the requirement for measuring the interest rate risk of the banking book. Legislative Decree No. 1531 and SBS Resolution No. 03954-2022 aligned the capital conservation buffer in the Peruvian regulation, to the Basel III principles.
Subordinated Debt Regulation
In December 2022, Legislative Decree No. 1531 was further regulated by SBS Resolution No. 03950-2022, which approved the Subordinated Debt Regulation Applicable to Financial Institutions. The Subordinated Debt Regulation Applicable to Financial Institutions provided for two Ordinary Tier 1 Regulatory Capital: (i) Ordinary Tier 1 Regulatory Capital equal to or greater than 4.5% of total risk-weighted assets and contingent liabilities, and (ii) Effective Tier 1 Regulatory Capital which, in its entirety and considering ordinary capital and additional ordinary capital, must be equal to or greater than 6.0%. Moreover, the Subordinated Debt Regulation Applicable to Financial Institutions eliminated Tier 3 Regulatory Capital/Subordinated Debt (i.e., Hybrid Instruments) which were used to cover market risk losses and excluded non-redeemable Subordinated Debt from the computation of Tier 2 Regulatory Capital.
104
With regards to subordinated debt, the Subordinated Debt Regulation Applicable to Financial Institutions made a distinction between two types of subordinated debt: (i) “Tier 1 Non-redeemable Subordinated Debt” (computable to Tier 1 Regulatory Capital only as additional Tier 1 Regulatory Capital) and (ii) “Tier 2 Redeemable Subordinated Debt” (computable to Tier 2 Regulatory Capital). For the purposes of the regulation, non-redeemable debt means that its principal amount is not amortized and generates perpetual periodic return, while redeemable debt means that its principal amount will be redeemed within a specified period of time.
Regulation of Requirement of Conservation, Economic Cycle and Market Concentration Risk Buffers
Moreover, in December 2022, the SBS issued SBS Resolution No. 03954-2022, which approved the “Regulation for the Requirement of Conservation, Economic Cycle and Market Concentration Risk Buffers” (Reglamento para el Requerimiento de Colchones de Conservación, por Ciclo Económico y por Riesgo por Concentractión de Mercado). This new regulation updated the methodologies for calculating the individual and sector concentration risk buffers, in compliance with the Basel III standards, and further regulated article 199 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law. The Regulation for the Requirement of Conservation, Economic Cycle and Market Concentration Risk Buffers describes four types of risk buffers, to be gradually implemented, namely: (i) Capital Conservation Risk Buffer; (ii) Economic Cycle Risk Buffer; (iii) Market Conservation Risk Buffer; and (iv) Combined Risk Buffer.
The Capital Conservation Risk Buffer provides that companies have to accumulate a risk buffer (over the requirements set forth in article 199 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law) to be used when losses have been incurred during periods of stress. The minimum risk buffer established amounts to 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets and contingent liabilities, which is determined based on the methodology described in the Regulation for the Requirement of Conservation, Economic Cycle and Market Concentration Risk Buffers. Non-compliance with the minimum requirement of risk buffers would result in the application of restrictions in connection with (i) the repurchase of shares that qualify as Tier 1 Regulatory Capital, and (ii) the distribution of profits to Tier 1 Regulatory Capital (e.g., dividends), except for distribution of stock dividends charged to the prior year’s earnings (up to 60.0% for deficit less than or equal to 25.0%, 40.0% for deficit greater than 25.0% and less than or equal to 50.0%, 20.0% for deficit greater than 50.0% and less than or equal to 75.0%, deficit greater than 75.0% does not allow distribution).
The Economic Cycle Risk Buffer serves to counteract fluctuations in the economic cycle by recalibrating the marginal weighting factors of credit risk-weighted assets used for the calculation of this buffer based on the Additional Regulatory Capital Requirement Regulation. The operation aspects of the Economic Cycle Risk Buffer can be divided into “accumulation” and “de-accumulation”. Accumulation means that Ordinary Tier 1 Regulatory Capital must be maintained above the minimum requirements of Article 199 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, for the amount resulting from applying the calculation methodology chosen by the financial institution. In cases of non-compliance, restrictions will apply in connection with (i) the repurchase of shares that count towards Tier 1 Regulatory Capital and (ii) the distribution of profits to Tier 1 Regulatory Capital (e.g., dividends), except for distribution of dividends in shares. “De-accumulation” means that the buffer is no longer required and the requirement is equal to zero and accumulated Tier 1 Regulatory Capital can be used to cover the economic cycle buffer requirement. The calculations related to the Economic Cycle Risk Buffer shall be conducted (i) monthly when the rule is activated and the requirement is in force and (ii) at the time when the rule is deactivated and the requirement is not in force.
The Market Conservation Risk Buffer seeks to counteract negative effects on the stability of the system and Peru’s economic activity resulting from the potential financial deterioration of large, highly interconnected, difficult to substitute and highly complex companies. It employs, for the purposes of its calculation, a Market Concentration Risk Indicator that considers aspects related to size, interconnection, substitutability and financial infrastructure, and the complexity of the companies in the financial system. This Risk Buffer applies to (i) banks, (ii) investment banks, and (iii) Peruvian multiple operating companies that are part of a bank’s economic group.
Finally, the Combined Risk Buffer is the sum of the Conservation, Economic Cycle and Market Concentration Risk Buffer requirements. In addition to compliance with each individual buffer, the combined buffer requirement to be covered with additional Ordinary Tier 1 Regulatory Capital must be met. The methodology for its calculation is as follows: (i) Ordinary Tier 1 Regulatory Capital (after covering the requirement set in Article 199 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law) minus (ii) the portion of Ordinary Tier 1 Regulatory Capital that covers the Conservation, Economic Cycle and Market Concentration Risk Buffer. If a company fails to comply with the abovementioned requirements, it may continue its operations, however it may not (i) repurchase its shares that count towards Tier 1 Regulatory Capital or (ii) distribute profits to Tier 1 Regulatory Capital (e.g., dividends), except for distribution of dividends in shares.
105
As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, Interbank is in compliance with the additional regulatory capital requirements approved by the SBS. Interbank is evaluating the impact of such changes to the regulatory capital requirements on its financial results and condition. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, Interbank is fully compliant with applicable capital regulatory requirements, and it expects to continue to comply with such regulatory capital requirements, and does not anticipate such regulatory changes to have a material impact on its solvency.
Liquidity Requirements of Basel III Principles
In December 2012, the SBS approved SBS Resolution No. 9075-2012, requiring a new calculation of the liquidity coverage ratio. The liquidity ratio coverage is a ratio for financial institutions to ensure the maintenance of adequate levels of high-quality liquidity assets (ALAC) that could easily be converted into cash to meet liquidity needs, for a 30-calendar day period, under a stress liquidity scenario. High-quality liquidity assets are defined as assets that are easily and immediately convertible into cash, with minimum or no loss of value during the stress period.
Pursuant to SBS Resolution No. 6694-2015, the SBS defined a plan for the implementation of this ratio. Since January 2019 and moving forward, companies have been required to implement 100% of the liquidity coverage ratio. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, Interbank is in full compliance with all regulatory limits required by the SBS. In addition, Interbank’s alert system monitors any deviations so Interbank may take any preventive measures.
In October 2022, the SBS approved SBS Resolution No. 03296-2022 which incorporated, among others, the operational criteria that the high-quality liquidity assets must meet, as well as the categories of such assets, adjusting the liquidity coverage ratios to Basel III (taking into consideration the particularities of the local market). SBS Resolution No. 03296-2022 became effective on January 1, 2024.
Classification of the Loan Portfolio
According to SBS regulations, the provision for loan losses is calculated and recorded following SBS Resolution No. 11356-2008, which sets parameters to determine the calculation of provisions which is based on formulas and the use of specific percentages over the balances of loans and collateral received. For example, banks must consider certain criteria with respect to the borrower, including securities; credit category; borrower’s liquidity, borrower’s equity and outstanding debt, among others. Also, it requires constitution of generic provisions based on total loan portfolio, including generic provisions on not-impaired loans. The loan portfolio provisions which result from such classification differ materially from the loan portfolio provisions which result from our application of IFRS. For a discussion of our loan portfolio classification policies and the resulting provisions, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—Selected Statistical Information—Classification of our Loan Portfolio and—Impairment Allowance for Loans” and “Note 29.1 Credit Risk” to our audited annual consolidated financial statements.
Beginning on January 1, 2021, the SBS introduced a reporting rule under Peruvian GAAP whereby non-revolving credit card loans must be reported as other non-revolving consumer loans. This change resulted in a reduction in Interbank’s credit card loan balances and an increase in consumer loans in the same proportion as the credit card balances were reduced.
Risk of Over-Indebtedness by Consumer Banking Customers
According to SBS Resolution No. 6941-2008, as amended, banks and other financial entities must adopt a system to manage the risk of over-indebtedness that (a) allows the mitigation of such risk before and after making the loan, (b) permits the performance of a permanent monitoring of the portfolio to identify over-indebted borrowers and (c) includes the periodic evaluation of the control mechanisms being used and of the corrective actions or required improvements, as the case may be. The board of directors of such banks and other financial entities are responsible for (i) establishing and reviewing the policies and proceedings for the identification, measuring, treatment, control, reporting and monitoring of the risk from the level of indebtedness of its consumer banking customers and (ii) causing the management to adopt the necessary measures to monitor and control such risks. In addition, the board of directors must cause the bank and/or financial entity to have an organizational structure that guarantees total independence between the risk and the commercial divisions and that the incentive schemes for employees’ performance does not cause a conflict of interest with risk management policies.
Banks and financial entities that are not able to monitor, control and identify the risk of over-indebtedness are obliged to maintain a special loan loss reserve. Banks and financial entities that comply with the requirements described above are not required to maintain any such specific provision.
Legal Reserve Requirements
Pursuant to Article 67 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, all banks must create a legal reserve.
106
Each year a bank must allocate 10% of its net income to its legal reserve until its legal reserve is equal to 35% of its paid-in capital. Any subsequent increases in paid-in capital will imply a corresponding increase in the required level of the legal reserves to be funded as described above.
Lending Limits
Under Article 206 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, the total amount of direct and indirect credits and financings granted in favor of a person shall not exceed 10% of the bank’s regulatory capital. A person is defined for the purposes therein as a person or group of persons or entities representing a common or single risk.
The SBS has issued special regulations establishing the guidelines that must be followed by banks when determining legal reserves for legal proceedings for past-due loans and foreclosures.
For purposes of Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, a single borrower includes an individual or an economic group. An economic group constituting a single or common risk, according to Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, includes a person, such person’s close relatives and companies in which such person or close relatives have significant share ownership or decision-making capability. According to current regulations, shareholders who own or control directly or indirectly at least 4% of a company’s shares are considered to share common risk with such company. Significant decision-making capability is deemed to be present when, among others, a person or group can exercise material and continuous influence upon the decisions of a company, when a person or company holds seats on the board of directors or has principal officers in another company, or when it can be assumed that one company or person is the beneficial recipient of credit facilities granted to another company.
The 10% limit indicated above may be raised to 15%, 20% and 30%, depending on the type of collateral securing the excess over each limit. For instance, the limit can be extended to 15% when the excess is secured by a mortgage; it may be raised to 20% when the excess is collateralized with securities listed in the Selective Index of the BVL (ISBVL); and it may be raised to 30% when the excess is secured with deposits that are maintained and pledged with the bank.
Other special lending limits must also be taken into account, such as lending to related parties or affiliates (30% of regulatory capital), to local banks (30%), and to foreign banks (from 5% for non-regulated banks to 30% for first category international banks, which may also be raised to 50% when backed by letters of credit). There are other limits that require banks to diversify their portfolio through different types of assets, benefiting liquid and low-risk assets.
Lending to Related Parties
The Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law regulates and limits transactions with related parties and affiliates of financial institutions, on an unconsolidated basis. In 2015, the SBS and the SMV enacted new regulations containing definitions of indirect ownership, related parties and economic groups, which serve as the basis for determining limits on transactions with related parties and affiliates. These regulations also provide the basis for the subsequent development of specific supervision standards of financial institutions and conglomerates formed by financial institutions.
Additionally, pursuant to Article 202 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, the aggregate amount of loans to related party borrowers may not exceed 30% of a bank’s regulatory capital (exceptionally, according to Circular B-2148-2005, as amended, the amount of loans to related parties may not exceed 50% of a bank’s regulatory capital if the excess of 30% is secured by credit letters from foreign financial institutions). For purposes of this test and in accordance with regulations of economic group, related party borrower includes any person or an affiliate of that person holding, directly or indirectly, 4% or more of a bank’s capital stock, directors, certain of the bank’s principal executive officers or other persons in more junior positions affiliated with the bank’s management.
All loans to related parties must be made on an arm’s-length basis with terms no more favorable than the best terms that Interbank would offer to the public.
In addition, under Article 201 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, the total amount of loans extended to directors, officers, employees or close relatives of any such persons may not exceed 7% of a bank’s regulatory capital. All loans made to any single such related party borrower may not exceed 0.35% of a bank’s regulatory capital (i.e., 5% of the overall 7% limit) per each person, including such person’s spouse and relatives. In addition, the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law generally provides that banks may not extend credit to or guarantee the obligations of employees or members of the board of directors, except for home mortgage loans to employees and directors.
107
Consumer Lending
As a general rule, interest rates within the Peruvian financial system are freely determined by the market. However, on March 18, 2021, the Peruvian Congress approved Law No. 31143 (Law that Protects Financial Consumers from Usury) which amended certain articles of the Central Reserve Bank of Peru’s organic law, the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law and Law N° 28587 (Complementary Law to the Consumer Protection Law on Matters of Financial Services) in order to allow the Central Reserve Bank of Peru to establish maximum interest rates, exclusively, for the activities described in literal c) of Article 221 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, which include consumer lending and lending to small and micro enterprises. The application of interest rates above the aforementioned limit constitutes a criminal offense typified as usury under Article 214 the Peruvian criminal code. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, the maximum interest rate is 101.86% for local currency operations and 82.94% for foreign currency operations. These interest rates are expected to be updated on May 1, 2024.
Other changes brought upon by Law N° 31143 provide a wider protection to consumers include the prohibition to capitalize interests and impose penalties or other commissions (in addition to default interest charges) upon default of the consumer. Furthermore, it established that any commissions or expenses charged by financial institutions must involve the provision of services, additional and/or complementary to the operations contracted by users, effectively rendered and which costs are real and provable through a technical report previously reviewed and approved by the SBS.
Country Risk Reserve Requirements
SBS Resolution No. 7932-2015, enacted in December 2015, requires the funding of reserves to cover exposure to country risk, which is defined to include sovereign risk, transfer risk and expropriation or nationalization risk, all of which may affect operations with companies or individuals in foreign countries. The SBS has also established guidelines indicating the procedures and responsibilities necessary for coping with country risk.
Integral Risk Management
Integral risk management is a process intended to identify potential events that can affect banks and to manage those events according to their nature and risk level. In January 2017, the SBS enacted the SBS Resolution No. 272-2017, which replaced SBS Resolution No. 037-2008. SBS Resolution No. 272-2017 (as amended from time to time) contains guidelines for integral risk management of financial institutions and covers all kinds of risks that could affect a banking operation, such as operational, market, credit, AML, liquidity and reputational risks. Furthermore, it introduced various changes, focusing on corporate governance practices including the following: (i) two or more independent directors must be appointed when boards are integrated by six or more members, (ii) a remunerations committee must be formed and (iii) concepts such as ‘risk appetite’, ‘risk capacity’ and ‘risk limits’ have been modeled after the Principles for an Effective Risk Appetite Framework of the Financial Stability Board.
Credit Risk
According to the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, as of July 1, 2009, financial institutions would have been allowed to use the IRB methodology instead of the standardized methodology for calculating their regulatory capital requirement for credit risk, after receiving prior approval from the SBS. However, regulations required for the full implementation of both standardized and IRB methodologies by Peruvian financial institutions were not enacted until November 4, 2009, with SBS Resolution No. 14354-2009.
Under SBS Resolution No. 14354-2009 (as amended from time to time), enacted in November 2009, financial institutions are allowed to use the standardized methodology and, with the prior approval of the SBS, IRB methodologies for calculating their regulatory capital requirement for credit risk. Interbank has not decided if it will request approval from the SBS to adopt the IRB methodology.
In addition, according to SBS Resolution No. 3780-2011 (as amended from time to time), financial institutions are required to implement an organizational structure and certain procedures in connection with control on interest management and strategic needs procedures in order to adequately manage credit risk. SBS Resolution No. 8548-2012, enacted in November 2012, establishes new guidelines for calculation of risk weighted assets for personnel (planilla), credit card and mortgage exposure resulting in more capital requirements for credit risk.
Market Risk
Regulations for the supervision of market risks, enacted in May 1998, require banks to establish internal policies and procedures to monitor these risks, as well as market risk exposure limits. Regulations define market risk as the probability of loss derived from exposure to various classes of commodities, securities, foreign exchange, derivative operations or commercial assets that banks may hold in their portfolio, which may, or may not, be accounted for in their statements of financial position. In June
108
2009, the SBS enacted SBS Resolution No. 6328-2009 (as amended from time to time), which defines the methodology to be applied, and the requirements to be satisfied, to calculate the regulatory capital requirement for market risks under the standard methodology and the IRB methodology.
Operational Risk
SBS Resolution No. 2115-2009 (as amended), enacted in April 2009, defined the methodology to be applied, and the requirements to be satisfied, by financial institutions in calculating their regulatory capital requirement for operational risk under the IRB methodology, the alternative standardized methodology and the advanced methodologies. However, as the advanced methodologies approach was part of the Basel II principles, this alternative was eliminated as part of SBS Resolution No. 03955-2022’s updates in alignment with the Basel III principles because internal operational risk models had failed to adequately reflect the risks. The IRB methodology uses a bank’s gross operational margin as an “exposure indicator,” and its application does not require the prior approval by the SBS. Application of the alternative standardized methodology requires compliance with certain provisions included in SBS Resolution No. 2115-2009 (as amended from time to time) and prior approval from the SBS.
SBS Resolution No. 2116-2009 (as amended), enacted in April 2009, approved the guidelines for managing operational risk, and defined “operational risk” as the possibility of suffering losses due to inadequate procedures, failures of personnel, IT or external events, including, without limitation, legal risks (but excluding strategic and reputational risk). It also established that a bank’s board of directors is responsible for designing the general policies to manage operational risk and that a bank’s management is in charge of implementing such policies. Finally, it provided that each bank is obligated to create a database of all of such bank’s losses due to operational risk, classifying such losses by event.
Model Risk
SBS Resolution No. 00053-2023 (as amended), enacted in January 2023, introduced regulations on how to manage the risks that arise from the use of models to process information in financial institutions. Model risk is defined as the possibility of losses or adverse consequences arising from weaknesses in model development, validation, implementation, use and monitoring. The foregoing resolution further states that model risk can arise from inadequate specifications or methodologies, erroneous estimates, incorrect assumptions, calculation errors, inaccurate, inappropriate or incomplete data, inappropriate, improper or unforeseen use of the model, lack of understanding of the model’s limitations, and inadequate monitoring and/or controls. This regulation will be gradually implemented commencing in June 2024 through May 2026, given the need to properly implement at the operational level adequate tools to assess the risks that are intended to be managed with the models and the categorization of the models used. Financial institutions within its scope, such as the bank, are required to provide the SBS with assessments of their models in accordance with the schedule determined by SBS.
Management of Legal Proceedings
SBS Resolution No. 2451-2021, enacted in August 2021, established minimum procedures for the management, classification, reporting and creation of provisions in relation to legal proceedings. According to this resolution, financial institutions’ boards of directors must approve policies and procedures covering those matters and fulfilling certain minimum requirements as set forth in the resolution. Furthermore, financial institutions must submit reports to the SBS semi-annually with information on all current litigation matters and, in particular, adverse legal proceedings that are classified as “probable”.
The SBS can request, at any time, additional information on any specific litigation matter, make corrections to classifications and provisions when it considers that the legal proceedings present inconsistencies or are insufficiently sustained.
The resolution also amended the Accounting Manual for financial institutions with respect to the accounting treatment of provisions derived from legal proceedings depending on whether they are classified as “probable”, “remote” or “possible”.
Investments in Financial Instruments
Investment in financial instruments by Peruvian banks is restricted to those financial instruments listed in the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, such as equity instruments traded on a stock exchange, debt instruments (to the extent that certain requirements are satisfied), sovereign debt instruments and quotas in mutual and investment funds, among others.
Pursuant to SBS Resolution No. 7033-2012 (as amended from time to time), investments in financial instruments by Peruvian banks shall be classified into any of the following categories: (a) investments at fair value with changes in results (short-term), (b) investments available-for-sale, (c) investments until maturity (long-term) and (d) investments in subsidiaries and affiliates.
On July 2018, the SBS issued SBS Resolution No. 2610-2018, which became effective as of October 1, 2018, and amended the regulation on classification and valuation of investments approved by SBS Resolution No. 7033-2012 and its
109
amendments. The main amendment contained in this resolution is the introduction of standard methodology for the identification of impairment of financial instruments classified as available-for-sale investments and held-to-maturity investments. The annex to this resolution has been amended by SBS Resolution No. 04034-2022, which became effective on December 31, 2022.
Reserve Requirements from the Central Reserve Bank of Peru
Under the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, all financial institutions regulated by the SBS (except for small-business development non-bank institutions) are required to maintain a legal reserve (encaje) for certain obligations. The Central Reserve Bank of Peru may require additional marginal reserves. The exact level and method of calculation of these reserve requirements is set by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, which has issued different sets of regulations for foreign and local currency-denominated obligations of banks. The following liabilities, among others, are subject to the reserve requirement: demand and time deposits, savings accounts, certain obligations, securities, certain bonds and funds administered by the bank. Subject to certain requirements, the regulation excludes mid-term and long-term funding (i.e., more than two years) from foreign financial institutions, other central banks, governments or multilateral lending agencies.
In April 2004, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru began requiring reserves on amounts due to foreign banks and other foreign financial institutions, which were not previously considered obligations.
As of December 31, 2023, the minimum legal reserve requirement for local and foreign currency deposits was 6.0% and 9.0%, respectively. Local and foreign currency liabilities are subject to marginal rates of 25% and 35% for funds that exceed a certain level set by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru. Local and foreign currency borrowings from certain foreign sources with an original maturity of two years or less are subject to a 9% special rate. Financial institutions may satisfy the minimum reserve requirements with funds that they hold in vaults or that they have deposited in their accounts at the Central Reserve Bank of Peru.
Subject to certain requirements, the regulation excludes from the reserve requirement mid-term and long-term funding (i.e., liabilities with a minimum average maturity of more than two years, subject to other conditions) through the issuance of securities.
They must also keep at least 1.0% and 3.0% of their local and foreign currency deposited in the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, respectively. The Central Reserve Bank of Peru oversees compliance with the reserve requirements.
The Central Reserve Bank of Peru also establishes the interest rate payable on reserves that exceed the minimum legal reserve requirement applicable to both local and foreign currency deposits. The current applicable interest rate: (a) for local currency reserves, different from those described below, is the higher of 0.0% or the overnight deposits interest rate, minus 1.95%; and (b) for foreign currency deposits, is the higher of (i) 25.0% of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”) Term SOFR for one month minus 10 basis points, and (ii) the CME Term SOFR rate for one month minus 50 basis points. The applicable interest rate is expected to be periodically revised by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru in accordance with monetary policy objectives. In the past, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru has on numerous occasions changed the deposit reserve requirements applicable to Peruvian commercial banks and both the rate of interest paid on deposit reserves and the amount of deposit reserves on which no interest is payable by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru.
Special provisions as a result of COVID-19 pandemic
On March 6, 2021, the Peruvian government, through Emergency Decree No. 026-2021 (which was in force until July 15, 2021), authorized, on an exceptional basis, the rescheduling of loans guaranteed by the Reactiva Perú program for up to S/16 billion (then increased to S/19.5 billion) to provide greater payment flexibility to the beneficiaries of this program. On May 13, 2022, through Emergency Decree No. 011-2022, the Peruvian government approved a second rescheduling for up to S/10 billion. For debtors with loans between S/750,000 and S/10 million, the program will only be available if such debtors evidence a decrease in sales equal or higher than 30% for the fourth quarter of 2022 in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2019.
More recently, through Emergency Decree No. 029-2023 and the amendment No. 287-2023-EF/15 to the Ministerial Resolution 134-2020-EF/15 (Reglamento Operativo del Programa Reactiva Perú), the Peruvian government granted a new rescheduling for the loans under the Reactiva Perú program to which companies were able to apply until September 30, 2023.
Special provisions as a result of social unrest and climate phenomenon
On December 7, 2022, Peruvian former President Pedro Castillo announced his intention to dissolve the Peruvian Congress and to intervene in, among others, the Peruvian judicial branch and Superior Court. Mr. Castillo’s actions were deemed to constitute an attempted coup, which led to his impeachment and arrest. According to the Peruvian Constitution, Mr. Castillo was succeeded by his then vice-president, Dina Boluarte. Following Mr. Castillo’s impeachment, a wave of protests in support of Mr. Castillo erupted across the country, which led President Boluarte to declare a state of emergency across several regions in Peru on December 12, 2022. Protests continued until March 2023.
110
In that context, the SBS approved a series of measures to reschedule retail loans that had been affected by the protests and social unrest in Peru, similar to those implemented to minimize the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Pursuant to Oficio Multiple N° 54961-2022, issued on December 22, 2022, the SBS established exceptional measures applicable to retail loans, allowing financial institutions to amend contractual conditions without characterizing them as refinanced loans as long as the amended loan complied with certain loan characteristics.
Additionally, through Oficio Múltiple N° 12174-2023, issued on March 15, 2023, the SBS established exceptional measures applicable to retail clients according to the geographic scope determined by each financial company and prior analysis of the level of impact on its portfolio of debtors, allowing the entities to amend the contractual conditions of the different types of loans for retail debtors, without such amendment being considered a refinancing provided certain criteria was complied with.
Lastly, due to the high uncertainty caused by the intensity of the “El Niño” phenomenon, in 2023 we have had to increase our monitoring of the performance results of our retail and commercial clients and make subsequent adjustments of expected loss to our model, which in turn creates a certain level of uncertainty in the estimation of expected losses on loans.
Deposit Insurance Fund
Bank deposits are protected by the Fondo de Seguros de Depósito (Deposit Insurance Fund), against bank failure. Specifically, savings deposit by natural persons, savings deposit accounts maintained by non-profit entities and checking accounts are covered in full up to an amount that is revised quarterly by the SBS. For the period between March and May 2024, the maximum coverage amount is S/122,420 per person per bank.
The Deposit Insurance Fund was established in 1991 and was organized as a private corporation in 1996. The Deposit Insurance Fund’s governing body is led by a representative of the SBS. The additional members are appointed by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (one member), the MEF (one member) and by the banks (three members). SBS provides the necessary administrative members and operational resources for the Deposit Insurance Fund.
The financial resources available to the Deposit Insurance Fund pursuant to the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law include, among others, the original contribution from the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, insurance premiums paid by banks, unclaimed bank deposits (after 10 years) and fines imposed by the SBS for violations of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law.
In addition, the Deposit Insurance Fund may, in extraordinary situations, borrow funds with authorization from the Peruvian treasury, or it may borrow long-term government securities from the Peruvian treasury.
Anti-Money Laundering Rules
Money laundering is considered a criminal act in Peru. A special legal framework was established in April 2002, which follows the 40 recommendations of the FATF, established by the G-7. Since then, this legal framework has been amended in order to improve and increase the efficiency of the Peruvian anti-money laundering system.
Money laundering includes a wide range of serious offenses such as tax evasion, terrorism, drug trafficking, corruption and other criminal activities. A special set of anti-money laundering rules applies specifically to banks, which includes specific rules for customer and employee due diligence and recordkeeping. In March 2008, the SBS enacted additional anti-money laundering provisions, pursuant to which, among other things, banks must establish a set of policies and procedures specifically aimed to prevent asset laundering and the financing of terrorist activities. In November 2008, the SBS modified the anti-money laundering provisions to include, among other changes, the obligations of Peruvian banks to verify that their branches and foreign subsidiaries comply with the anti-money laundering and terrorism financing provisions enacted by the SBS and with the recommendations of the FATF.
On February 17, 2011, the SBS modified current anti-money laundering provisions through SBS Resolution No. 2108-2011, as amended, in order to adapt these provisions to international standards established by the Financial Action Task Force of South America (Grupo de Acción Financiera de Sudamerica, or “GAFISUD”), in relation to due diligence in the identification of clients according to their risk and profile level, among other considerations. On May 14, 2015 and December 6, 2017, the SBS further amended and supplemented the aforementioned provisions through SBS Resolution No. 2660-2015 and SBS Resolution No. 4705-2017 (each as amended). SBS Resolution No. 2018-2011 was replaced by SBS Resolution No. 2891-2018, which became effective on October 1, 2018.
111
The government agency responsible for supervising the anti-money laundering system is the UIF, which was made part of the SBS in July 2007. The chairman of this agency is appointed by the chairman of the SBS. Additionally, Law No. 30424, enacted in April 2016 and which took effect on January 1, 2018, as amended, attributes criminal liability to legal entities when crimes related to money laundering, terrorist financing, bribery (including multinational bribery), tax fraud and customs offenses are committed on its behalf or for its benefit by any legal representative or de facto or de iure executive. Such regulation establishes that criminal liability will be exempted or mitigated if the legal entity has adopted an adequate and suitable prevention model following the criteria and minimum guidelines outlined in Law No. 30424. On January 9, 2019, Supreme Decree 002-2019-JUS (Reglamento de la Ley N° 30424) was enacted and took effect, setting forth further regulations and guidelines related to, among other things, the suitable prevention model to be implemented in accordance with Law No. 30424.
Disclosure of Material Information
All banks that are organized as corporations (the only exception being the Peruvian branches of foreign banks) are listed on the BVL. As a result, they are subject to the disclosure and reporting rules contained in the Peruvian Securities Market Law and the internal regulations of the SMV and the BVL. Banks are also subject to full disclosure and reporting obligations under the banking regulatory framework. See “Regulation and Supervision—The Peruvian Financial and Insurance Systems—The SMV”.
Intervention by the SBS and Liquidation
Pursuant to the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, the SBS has the power to interrupt the operations of a bank in order to prevent, or to control and reduce the effects of, a bank failure. Accordingly, the SBS may intervene in a bank’s business by adopting either a temporary surveillance regime or a definitive intervention regime (“Intervention”) depending on how critical the situation is deemed to be by the SBS. Intervention will be taken upon the occurrence of certain events, including (a) suspension of payments, (b) failure to comply with the restructuring plan during the surveillance regime, (c) regulatory capital is less than 50% of the minimum regulatory capital required (global limit) or (d) deficit or reduction of more than 50% of its regulatory capital in a 12-month period. Less drastic measures, such as (1) placing additional requirements, (2) ordering a capital increase or an asset divesture or (3) imposing a financial restructuring plan, may be also adopted by the SBS when the situation allows for them.
An Intervention may halt a bank’s operations for up to 45 days, and may be extended for a second period of up to 45 additional days, during which time the SBS may institute measures such as: (a) canceling losses by reducing reserves, capital and subordinated debt, (b) segregating certain assets and liabilities for transfer to another financial institution and (c) merging the intervened bank with another acquiring institution. After an Intervention, the SBS will proceed to dissolve and liquidate the bank unless the preceding option (c) was applied.
Beginning on the date on which a resolution of the SBS subjecting a bank to an Intervention regime is issued, and continuing until such Intervention is concluded (which period ends when the liquidation process begins), the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law prevents any creditor of the bank from (a) initiating any judicial or administrative procedure for the collection of any amount owed by the bank, (b) enforcing any judicial decision rendered against the bank to secure payment of any of its obligations, (c) constituting a lien or attachment over any of the assets of the bank to secure payment of any of its obligations or (d) making any payment, advance or compensation or assuming any obligation on behalf of the bank, with the funds or assets that may belong to it and are held by third parties, except for (i) set-off compensation payments that are made between regulated entities of the Peruvian banking and financial sector and insurance industry and (ii) set-off of reciprocal obligations arising from repurchase agreements and operations with financial derivatives entered into with local or foreign financial and insurance institutions.
During liquidation, claims of bank creditors rank as follows:
First order—Labor claims:
| • | 1st Employee remunerations. |
| • | 2nd Social benefits, contributions to the private and public pension system and other labor claims against the bank accrued until the date when the dissolution is declared, retirement pensions or the capital required to redeem those pensions or to secure them by purchasing annuities. |
Second order—Claims for bank deposits and other types of saving instruments provided under the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, in the portion not covered by the Deposit Insurance Fund and the contributions and resources used by such Deposit Insurance Fund to cover the above-described claims for bank deposits and other types of saving instruments.
112
Third order—Taxes:
| • | 1st Claims by the Peruvian social security administration (Seguro Social de Salud del Perú EsSalud) related to health care benefits for which the bank is responsible as employer. |
| • | 2nd Taxes. |
Fourth order—Unsecured and non-privileged credits:
| • | 1st All unsecured and non-privileged credits against the bank, ranked on the basis of (i) the date they were assumed or incurred by the bank whereby obligations assumed or incurred on an earlier date shall rank senior in right of payment to obligations assumed or incurred by the bank at a later date, and (ii) obligations assumed or incurred by the bank on a date that cannot be determined shall rank junior in right of payment to all the obligations comprised in (i) above and pari passu among themselves. |
| • | 2nd The legal interest on the bank’s obligations that may accrue during the liquidation. |
| • | 3rd Subordinated debt. |
Except for the first and second categories under unsecured and non-privileged credits, all claims within an order will be ranked pari passu among themselves. Each category of creditors will collect in the order indicated above, whereby distributions in one order will be subject to completing full distribution in the prior order. Any security interest created before the issuance of the resolution declaring the bank’s dissolution and the initiation of the liquidation process shall survive in order to guarantee the obligation it secures. The secured creditors shall retain the right to collect from the proceeds of the sale of the collateral, on a preferred basis (except with respect to labor claims, savings and deposits, which are privileged claims), subject to certain rules established under Article 119 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law.
Peruvian banks are not subject to the regime of insolvency and bankruptcy otherwise applicable to Peruvian corporations in general.
Insurance Regulation and Supervision
Solvency Requirements and Regulatory Capital
Pursuant to the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, the SBS regulates the solvency margin of Peruvian insurance companies. The solvency margin is based upon calculations that take into account the annual amount of premiums and the medium burden of claims during a specified period (three latest annual periods) prior to the date on which calculation is made.
Insurance companies must also maintain a “solvency equity”(patrimonio de solvencia) which must be higher than (a) the solvency margin, or (b) the minimum capital required by law, or S/8,387,375 in accordance with Circular G-222-2024 for the period between January and March 2024. The required amount of solvency equity is recalculated at least monthly and is adjusted for inflation. If the insurance company has operations subject to credit risk, part of the solvency equity should be segregated for their coverage.
The Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law provides that insurance companies should have at all times a regulatory capital that should not be lower than the solvency equity detailed above.
The regulatory capital of Peruvian insurance companies used to cover its operations may be conformed by: (a) the insurance company’s paid-in-capital, voluntary and legal reserves and premium for the issue of shares; and (b) the computable portion of the subordinate debt meeting SBS requirements that such entity establishes for such purpose. Article 299 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law provides the following procedure for the determination of the regulatory capital eligible to cover insurance risks: (a) sum of the paid-in-capital, supplementary capital premium and the legal and voluntary reserves, as applicable; (b) sum of the profit of previous fiscal years and the agreed capitalization of profits for the fiscal year in course; (c) subtraction of the amount of all the investment in subordinate bonds and shares of diverse nature made by insurance companies in other insurance companies engaged in different lines of business; (d) subtraction of the losses of the previous fiscal years and the fiscal year in course; and (e) subtraction of the goodwill of the company that comes from the reorganization of the company, as well as the goodwill that comes from the acquisition of investments.
Furthermore, insurance companies shall maintain a guarantee reserve from its equity as a guarantee fund, in order to cover risks such as (a) insurance technical risks, and (b) credit risks of certain financial transactions specifically set forth in the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law.
113
Reserves
The Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law provides that insurance companies shall constitute, on a monthly basis, the following technical reserves: (a) for claims, including those that took place and were not reported, past-due capital and income or benefits of the insured parties, with pending liquidation or payment; (b) mathematical, over life or income insurance; (c) for risks in course or non-accrued premiums; (d) for catastrophes and uncertain casualty risks; and (e) for risks of medical health or medical assistance insurance.
Article 67 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law also requires that all insurance companies establish a legal reserve by setting aside 10% of adjusted income before taxes, until the reserve reaches at least 35% of their capital stock.
Under SBS GAAP following the adoption of new mortality tables in 2018 the SBS allowed the adjustment of technical reserves to be spread over 10 years. In contrast, our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, under IFRS, recorded a negative impact of S/144.8 million in our technical reserves due to the aggregate effect recorded in technical reserves on insurance policies issued prior to the date of adoption of the new mortality tables.
SBS Resolution No. 1143-2021 establishes the guidelines regarding the valuation and accounting record of the mathematical reserves for the insurance policies that grant long-term coverage (more than 1 year). As a result of the application of this regulation, Interseguro has recognized an impact for income/private insurance of S/35 million that will be reflected in accumulated results over the next 14 quarters after initial recognition in 2022.
Limit of Indebtedness
Insurance companies may only take credits, in the country or abroad, for a sum not exceeding an amount equivalent to its regulatory capital. In case such limit of indebtedness is surpassed, the insurance company shall submit to the SBS a program approved by its board of directors establishing the measures adopted to eliminate the excess within a term not exceeding three (3) months.
Investment Requirements
Pursuant to the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, the total amount of investments of a Peruvian insurance company shall cover the total amount of technical reserves at all times. For such purposes, technical reserves are defined as the sum of all obligations that an insurance company has vis-à-vis its insured clients plus the solvency equity, the guarantee fund and the regulatory capital for the economic cycle. The assets covering the technical reserves cannot be subject to any pledge, encumbrance or precautionary measure, which limits its free availability.
Peruvian insurance companies are allowed to invest in certain eligible assets such as instruments issued by the Peruvian Central Government, classified corporate bonds and shares, among others. However, in order to balance levels of risk, applicable regulations have imposed a number of limitations to insurance companies with respect to their investments (by issuer, economic group, type of instrument and nationality, among others). In general terms, no more than 15% of the total amount of an insurance company’s technical reserves may be invested in certain instruments (including, among others, stocks and bonds) issued by the same economic group, which may be reduced to 7% if certain additional conditions are met. The investment regulations further specify that investment policies of Peruvian insurance companies shall consider maximum limits by issuer (calculated over the regulatory capital of each company) depending on the type of investment and the insurance industry in which the company operates.
Pursuant to the Investment of Insurance Companies Regulation approved by SBS Resolution No. 1041-2016 (as amended), Interseguro has implemented a plan to reduce its exposure to related parties and comply with the limits established by Article 13 of the Reglamento de Supervisión Consolidada, approved by SBS Resolution No. 11823-2010 (as amended). In addition, Interseguro limits the amount of exposure to the credit risk in any of the issuers of the financial instruments, which it believes enable it to maintain adequate diversification of its financial investment portfolio.
Disclosure of Relevant Information
All insurance companies that are organized as corporations (the only exception being the Peruvian branches of foreign insurance companies) have their shares listed on the BVL. As a result, they are subject to the disclosure and reporting rules contained in the Peruvian Securities Market Law and the internal regulations of the BVL. Insurance companies are also subject to full disclosure and reporting obligations under the insurance regulatory framework. See “Regulation and Supervision—The Peruvian Financial and Insurance Systems—The SMV”.
114
Ownership Restrictions
The Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law establishes certain restrictions on the ownership of a bank and insurance company’s capital stock. Banks must have at least two unrelated shareholders at all times. Restrictions are placed on the ownership of shares of any bank or insurance company by persons that have committed certain crimes, as well as by public officials who have supervisory powers over banks or who are majority shareholders of an enterprise of a similar nature. All transfers of shares in a bank or insurance company must be reported to the SBS by the bank or insurance company.
Transfers involving the acquisition by any individual or corporation, whether directly or indirectly, of more than 10% of a bank or insurance company’s capital stock must receive prior authorization from the SBS. The SBS may deny authorization to such transfer of shares if the purchasers (or their shareholders in the case of legal persons) are legally disabled, have engaged in illegal activity in the areas of banking, finance, insurance or reinsurance, or if objections are raised on the basis of the purchaser’s moral fitness or financial solvency. The decision of the SBS on this matter is final and cannot be overturned in the courts. If a transfer is made without obtaining the prior approval of the SBS, the purchaser may be fined an amount equivalent to the value of the securities transferred. In addition, the purchaser will be required to sell the securities within 30 days, or the fine will double, and the purchaser is disqualified from exercising its voting rights at any shareholders’ meetings and to participate in the distribution of dividends. Foreign investors receive the same treatment as Peruvian nationals and are subject to the same limitations described above.
Risk Rating
The Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law and SBS Resolution No. 18400-2010, enacted in January 2011, require that all financial and insurance institutions be rated by at least two rating agencies (registered with the SBS) on a semiannual basis (updated in March and September, with information as of December 31 and June 30 of each year, respectively), in addition to the SBS’s own assessment. Criteria to be considered in the rating include risk management and control procedures, loan quality, financial strength, profitability, liquidity and financial efficiency. Five risk categories are assigned, from “A,” lowest risk, to “E,” highest risk, allowing for subcategories within each letter.
Intervention by the SBS
Pursuant to the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, the SBS has the power to interrupt the operations of an insurance company to prevent, or to control and reduce, the effects of its failure. Accordingly, SBS intervention may be of two levels, depending on how critical the situation is: a temporary supervision regime or a definitive intervention regime prior to liquidating the bank or insurance company. Intervention will be taken upon the occurrence of certain events including: (1) suspension of payments; (2) failure to comply with the restructuring plan during the surveillance regime; (3) deficit or reduction of more than 50% of its regulatory capital in a 12-month period; or (4) deficit or reduction of its regulatory capital in excess of 50% of its solvency capital.
The intervention regime and the liquidation is the same as the one described above for banking entities. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Regulation and Supervision—The Peruvian Financial and Insurance System—Intervention by the SBS and Liquidation”. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Regulation and Supervision—Investment Requirements” for a discussion of investment requirements and technical obligations.
The Peruvian Payment’s System
The payments segment of our group has been conducted through PMP (in which Interbank holds 50%) even prior to the direct acquisition, on April 13, 2022, by IFS of the remaining 50% in such company. As a consequence of such acquisition, IFS now holds all interest in PMP’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Izipay, which is currently our payments processor and the payments facilitator for our subsidiaries operating in Peru. A summary of the Peruvian payment’s system regulatory framework is set forth below.
Payment processors provide technological services to merchants such as by: (a) capturing transactions through a physical network of terminals or payment platforms; and (ii) routing the transaction to the bank or card networks (such as VISA, or Mastercard) for validation (e-commerce). On the other hand, payment facilitators affiliate merchants to accept payment cards on behalf of an acquirer, specializing in the affiliation of merchants with low sales volume, offering them value-added services. PMP acts as payments processor, but it also provides the acquiring services (i.e. the acquirer is the agent in charge of affiliating merchants so that they accept card payments from consumers through a point of sale (physical or virtual), such as POS or website payment buttons).
General Overview
The regulatory authorities for the payment industry include the Central Reserve Bank of Peru; the Peruvian Antitrust Authority (Instituto Nacional de Defensa de la Competencia y de la Protección de la Propiedad Intelectual – “Indecopi”), the SBS
115
and Data Privacy Authority (Autoridad Nacional de Datos Personales). The Central Reserve Bank of Peru is the governing body of the Peruvian payment systems. The SBS regulates and oversees financial system companies and their financial transactions, including the issuance of cards. The Peruvian Antitrust Authority is the competition authority, which, among other duties, has the power to develop market research to identify potential opportunities for improvement related to the development of conditions of competition for a specific sector and issue recommendations. Finally, the Data Privacy Authority is responsible for the overview of compliance with the law on the processing of personal information.
The Central Reserve Bank of Peru is empowered to supervise and regulate payment systems and to determine when a payment agreement should be recognized as a payment system, and as such should be subject to the supervision and regulation of the Central Reserve Bank of Peru.
Law No. 29440 (as amended) (the “Payments and Settlement Law”) regulates the legal regime applicable to payment systems and securities settlement that have a systemic relevance, as well as to payment agreements (Acuerdos de Pago). If a payment system is recognized as such under the Payments and Settlement Law, the operator of the system will have to comply with applicable regulations, be supervised by the Peruvian Central Reserve Bank and subject to sanctions imposed by it.
The Central Reserve Bank of Peru has approved Circular No. 012-2010-BCRP (as amended) (the “Regulations for the Payment Systems”) which sets the criteria for a payment system to be considered subject to the provisions of the Payments and Settlement Law. Section 5 of the Regulations for the Payment Systems establishes that, in order for a payment agreement (Acuerdo de Pago) to be considered a payment system, the following characteristics shall be considered: (a) the value and number of funds transfer orders and (b) the interrelation of the payment agreement with other systems of importance for the transactions of the Peruvian financial system. As described, the criteria included in the Regulations for the Payment Systems is not quantifiable, but it includes general concepts to provide the Central Reserve Bank of Peru broad faculties to determine whether a payment system could have a systematic relevance. Systemic relevance encompasses institutions whose stress or bankruptcy situation could have a significant negative impact on the financial system and cause a deep and prolonged economic recession.
The payment card system in Peru is regulated by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, since it is recognized as a payment agreement. Currently, the only obligation of acquirers, as part of the payment card system in Peru, is to submit certain information about the nature and volume of their transactions, their functionality and risk control measures. Nonetheless, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru may, in the future, issue new rules, regulations, principles and standards within the payment card system. On the other hand, the participants in the issuing activity are regulated by the SBS in aspects related to security, the handling of fraudulent transactions and the minimum content of contracts between cardholders and card issuers.
As part of its operations, PMP has entered into license agreements with MasterCard and Visa, for which PMP is subject to specific rules and procedures for clearing and settlement of transactions.
Licensing
Service providers (including Izipay), collecting agents or processing agents in the payment industry are not required to obtain prior licenses such as pasarelas de pagos. However, recent regulations imposed certain obligations to such persons (including AML obligations) and required that they register with the Central Reserve Bank of Peru.
Regulation of Payment Services offered by Providers, Payment Agreements and Payment Systems
A special legal framework for the payment’s ecosystem was established in 2022 by the issuance of two key regulations passed by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru: Circular No. 024-2022-BCRP and Circular No. 027-2022-BCRP.
On October 2022, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru issued the Circular No. 024-2022-BCRP (as amended), approving the Interoperability Regulation of Payment Services offered by providers, payment agreements and payment systems. This regulation will allow transactions to be made between all digital wallets that operate in Peru. Specifically, interoperability will allow a user to perform a transfer or digital payment to any person or business, regardless of who operates the digital wallet, functionality or mobile application that is being used, or in which financial institution the user maintains its account.
Such regulation established certain deadlines for entities to start interoperating and meeting the regulation requirements. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, all phases for interoperating have been already implemented by Interbank.
Regulation of Payment Agreements with Cards
In addition, on November 2022, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru issued the Circular No. 027-2022-BCRP, approving the Regulation of Payment Agreements with Cards, which includes the recommendations made by the Indecopi, in order to
116
strengthen competition and provide greater transparency of card payment services, which in turn shall benefit the final users. This regulation establishes the principles and standards that govern payment agreements with cards, the responsibilities and obligations of the administrator, the acquirers and payment facilitators, related to the disclosure on their web pages of exchange rates and discount rates. Likewise, such circular establishes that the entities involved in a payment agreement with cards must register with the Central Reserve Bank of Peru. The regulation became effective on January 1, 2023 and contemplated certain adequacy periods for entities already operating within the Peruvian payment’s ecosystem. As of the date, PMP is duly registered as acquiror and issuing entity, while Izipay is duly registered as payments facilitator, in both cases, before the Central Reserve Bank of Peru.
Anti-Money Laundering Rules
On June 2007, Law No. 29038 set a list of the entities required to comply with anti-money laundering rules, which include debit and/or credit cards processors (such as PMP). On February 2008, the SBS issued SBS Resolution No. 369-2018 establishing a simplified AML system (sistema acotado) which these entities are required to implement, including certain obligations such as the appointment of a compliance officer, the reporting of certain operations, and the implementation of a prevention system, among others.
The government agency responsible for supervising the anti-money laundering system is the UIF, which was made part of the SBS in July 2007. The chairman of this agency is appointed by the chairman of the SBS.
General Overview of the Bahamian Financial Regulatory Framework
The regulatory framework for the operation of the Bahamian bank and trust industry is set forth in the Central Bank of The Bahamas Act, 2020, as amended, and the Banks and Trust Companies Regulation Act, 2020, as amended, and their related rules and regulations and any related guidance or notices issued by The Central Bank of The Bahamas. The Central Bank of The Bahamas licenses and supervises all of the banks and trust companies in The Bahamas. Its objectives include promoting and maintaining monetary stability and ensuring a sound financial system through the effective application of international regulatory and supervisory standards. All banks must adhere to the Central Bank of The Bahamas’ licensing and prudential requirements, ongoing supervisory programs and regulatory reporting requirements, and are subject to periodic onsite inspections. The regulatory framework for the securities industry in The Bahamas is set forth in the Securities Industry Act, 2011, as amended, and the Securities Industry Regulations, 2012. The relevant regulator for the securities industry is the Securities Commission of The Bahamas.
Licensing
Inteligo Bank has been granted a banking license by the Central Bank of The Bahamas and an International Banking License by the Superintendency of Banks of Panama. Under the BTCRA, the Central Bank of The Bahamas may revoke the license of a licensee if: in the opinion of the Central Bank of The Bahamas, the licensee (i) is carrying on its business in a manner detrimental to the public interest or the interests of its depositors or other creditors or (ii) contravening the provisions of Bahamian banking law or any other law, order or regulations made thereunder, or any term or condition subject to which the license was issued, either in The Bahamas or elsewhere; (iii) if Inteligo Bank has ceased to carry on its banking business; or (iv) if Inteligo Bank becomes bankrupt or goes into liquidation or is wound up or otherwise dissolved.
Inteligo Bank’s asset management activities and securities custody and trading activities are subject to supervision by the Securities Commission of The Bahamas. Inteligo Bank holds the following licenses from the Securities Commission of The Bahamas: Dealing as Agent or Principal; Arranging Securities; Managing Securities; and Advising on Securities. Inteligo Bank is licensed to undertake all securities related activities that are ancillary to its banking business.
Banking Regulation and Supervision
Banking regulations on capital adequacy and regulatory framework in The Bahamas take into account the recommendations of the Basel Committee. The Central Bank of The Bahamas has adopted a Basel Implementation Program (the “Program”) and has effectively implemented Pillar I, Pillar II and Pillar III of the Basel II framework. The Pillar I framework focuses on the capital adequacy ratio requirements. Pillar II focuses on the ICAAP (the guidelines in relation to the ICAAP were released in August of 2016), and Pillar III relates to Minimum Disclosures. The Central Bank of The Bahamas has rolled out the capital component of the Basel III framework and in 2017, began to implement other elements namely, the capital buffers, the leverage ratio, the net stable funding ratio and the liquidity coverage ratio. The Bahamas Capital Regulation, 2022 and amended Guidelines for the Management of Capital and the Calculation of Capital Adequacy became effective on July 15, 2022. The Bahamas capital regulations include changes to the methodology for the calculation of risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 capital that could adversely impact Inteligo Bank’s capital adequacy ratio. In 2018, the Central Bank of The Bahamas published two discussion papers focused on minimum disclosures (Pillar III of the Basel II framework) and the net stable funding ratio and the liquidity coverage ratio (main components of Basel III), but following completion of the capital framework, its liquidity is still in the process of being amended.
117
Corporate Governance
The Guidelines for the Corporate Governance of Banks and Trust Companies Licensed to Do Business Within and From Within The Bahamas, issued by the Central Bank of The Bahamas, list the minimum standards that banks must adopt in respect of their corporate governance framework. Generally, the guidelines require the board of directors to develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure (i) the competence and independence of board members, (ii) proper management of strategic, business and process-level risks, (iii) compliance with applicable laws, regulations and guidelines, and (iv) ongoing reporting to the Central Bank of The Bahamas.
Limits on Large Exposures
Pursuant to the Banks and Trust Companies (Large Exposures) (Amendment) Regulations, 2012, no bank shall (i) incur exposures to any individual counterparty or group of connected parties which in the aggregate exceed 25% of the bank’s capital base, (ii) hold non-capital investments in securities of a single issuer which exceed 10% of the bank’s capital base, (iii) incur exposures to its related parties which in the aggregate exceed 15% of the bank’s capital base, (iv) incur exposures to related parties unless approved by the bank’s board of directors and negotiated on an arm’s length basis, or, (v) incur non-exempt large exposures which in the aggregate exceed 800% of its capital base. There are certain exemptions listed in the regulations, and the Central Bank of The Bahamas may also exempt a bank from the exposure limits outlined in the regulations in certain circumstances.
Classification of Impaired Assets
The Guidelines for the Measurement, Monitoring and Control of Impaired Assets, issued by the Central Bank of The Bahamas, provide the Central Bank of The Bahamas’ minimum requirements for the recognition, measurement and classification of impaired assets. An impaired asset is defined as an asset where there is no longer a reasonable assurance of timely collection of the full amount of principal and interest due to a deterioration of credit quality of the counterparty. Banks are required to follow the requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards relating to impaired assets, in particular International Accounting Standards 36 and IFRS 9.
Credit Risk
The Guidelines for the Management of Credit Risk, issued by the Central Bank of The Bahamas, require banks to have a written statement of their credit risk strategy and policies and procedures to implement the strategy. The strategy and policies should be approved by the board of directors and should be consistent with the bank’s degree of risk tolerance, the level of capital available for credit activities and credit management expertise. The Central Bank of The Bahamas endorses the Basel Committee’s Principles for the Management of Credit Risk (September 2000).
Market Risk
The Guidelines on the Management of Market Risk, issued by the Central Bank of The Bahamas, require banks that meet the stated threshold tests to establish sound policies and procedures for the management of market risk, to be supervised and controlled by the board of directors and senior management. Market risk is defined as the risk of losses in on and off-balance sheet positions arising from movements in market prices.
Operational Risk
The Guidelines for the Management of Operational Risk, issued by the Central Bank of The Bahamas, require senior management of a bank, under the approval of the board of directors, to develop and implement an operational risk management framework that explicitly recognizes operational risk as a distinct risk to the institution and aims to effectively manage it. Operational risk is defined as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems from external events. The guidelines are based upon the Principles for the Sound Management of Operational Risk, issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in 2011.
Country Risk
The Guidelines for the Management of Country Risk, issued by the Central Bank of The Bahamas, require banks to have a risk management process that focuses on the broadly defined concept of country risk and addresses certain minimum requirements listed therein. The guidelines reference the Basel Committee’s Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision.
Anti-Money Laundering Laws and Regulations
Money laundering is a criminal act in The Bahamas. The laws of The Bahamas concerning money laundering and combatting the financing of terrorism are contained in the following legislation, as amended: (i) the Proceeds of Crime Act, 2018; (ii)
118
the Anti-Terrorism Act, 2018; (iii) the Financial Transactions Reporting Act, 2018; (iv) the Financial Transaction Reporting Regulations, 2018; (v) the Financial Transactions Reporting (Wire Transfers) Regulations, 2018; (vi) the Financial Intelligence Unit Act, 2000; and (vii) the Financial Intelligence (Transactions Reporting) Regulations, 2001. The Guidelines for Licensees on the Prevention of Money Laundering & Countering the Financing of Terrorism, issued by the Central Bank of The Bahamas, apply specifically to banks and other licensees of the Central Bank of The Bahamas. The guidelines require banks to establish clear responsibilities and accountabilities to ensure that policies, procedures and controls which deter criminals from using their facilities for money laundering or the financing of terrorism, are implemented and maintained, thus ensuring that they comply with their obligations under the law. Banks must have in place sufficient controls and monitoring systems for timely detection and reporting of suspicious activities, proper verification of their customers’ identities, record keeping in accordance with applicable laws, and ongoing education and training for its employees.
The Bahamas has repealed and replaced the Commercial Entities Substance Requirements Act, 2018 with the Commercial Entities (Substance Requirements) Act, 2023 which requires substantial economic presence in The Bahamas for certain Bahamas incorporated or registered entities that conduct relevant activities. A relevant activity includes the business of banking as conducted by Inteligo Bank. Inteligo Bank has made the appropriate registration in order to seek exemption from the main substance requirements under this legislation as it considers itself to be tax resident in another jurisdiction, Panama, despite being a licensed bank in The Bahamas. As a tax resident in Panama, Inteligo Bank would be exempt from the main substance requirements of the Commercial Entities (Substance Requirements) Act, 2023 due to asserted tax residency outside of The Bahamas. If Inteligo Bank is not considered to be tax resident in Panama, or does not fulfill the requirements of the applicable legislation, it will have to enhance its economic and business presence in The Bahamas in order to comply with the Commercial Entities (Substance Requirements) Act, 2023.
External Auditors
The Guidelines on the Relationship between External Auditors of Licensees and the Central Bank of The Bahamas, issued by the Central Bank of The Bahamas, require banks to inform the Central Bank of The Bahamas of the appointment of their external auditors. In addition to listing certain criteria to be used when appointing external auditors, the guidelines also provide examples of facts and matters of material significance that must be reported by an external auditor to the Central Bank of The Bahamas, such as material misstatements in financial statements or evidence of fraudulent activities. The guidelines take into account the aspects of the Basel Committee’s paper, The Relationship Between Banking Supervisors and Banks’ External Auditors (2002).

SELECTED STATISTICAL INFORMATION
The following tables present certain selected statistical information and ratios for IFS for the periods indicated. The following information is included for analytical purposes and should be read in conjunction with the information included in “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” and our audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 20-F. The statistical information and discussion and analysis presented below for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 reflect our consolidated financial position with our subsidiaries, Inteligo, Interbank, Interseguro and Izipay (since the acquisition of the remaining 50% equity interest in PMP and Izipay in April 2022), for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 and their results of operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
Average annual balances are based on five quarterly balances. Nominal average interest rates have been calculated by dividing interest earned on assets or paid on liabilities by the corresponding average annual balances on such assets or liabilities.
As explained in Note 3.2 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements, we have adopted for the first time IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”, effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. IFRS 17 replaces IFRS 4 “Insurance Contracts” for annual periods starting on or after January 1, 2023.
The adoption of IFRS 17 did not change the classification of our insurance contracts. However, it provides a comprehensive accounting model for all types of insurance contracts that provides a more consistent framework for insurers, covering all relevant aspects as recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosures.
We have applied IFRS 17 retrospectively and restated comparative information for 2022. Comparative information for 2021 has not been restated, so it is reported under IFRS 4. The impact of the first adoption of IFRS 17 amounted to S/820.5 million recorded as a reduction of retained earnings in our net equity as of January 1, 2022. For further information on IFRS 17, see Notes 3.2 and 3.7 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements.
We have also adopted the following standards, interpretation, or amendments: (i) in connection with the definition of Accounting Estimates, an amendment to IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors,” (ii) in connection with the disclosure of Accounting Policies, amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” and IFRS Practice Statement 2 “Making Materiality Judgements,” (iii) in connection with Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction, amendments to IAS 12 “Income Taxes,” and (iv) in connection with the International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules, amendments to IAS 12 “Income Taxes.” Such standards, interpretations or amendments have not had a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2022, we adopted the following standards, interpretations, or amendments: (i) in connection with costs of fulfilling a contract, an amendment to IAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets,” (ii) amendments to IFRS 3 “Business Combinations,” (iii) in connection with proceeds before intended use of property, plant and equipment, an amendment to IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment,” (iv) in connection with a subsidiary as a first time adopter, an amendment to IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards,” and (v) in connection with fees in the “10 per cent” test for derecognition of financial liabilities, an amendment to IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments.” Such standards, interpretations or amendments have not had a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2021, we adopted the following standards, interpretations, or amendments: (i) in connection with the interest rate benchmark reform, amendments to IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement,” and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures,” IFRS 4 “Insurance Contracts,” and IFRS 16 “Leases”,– Phase 2; and (ii) in connection with COVID-19 related rent concessions beyond June 30, 2021, an amendment to IFRS 16 “Leases”. Such standards, interpretations or amendments have not had a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Average Balance Sheets, Income Earned from Interest-Earning Assets, Interest Paid on Interest-Bearing Liabilities
The tables below set forth, by currency of denomination, average balances for IFS prepared on a consolidated basis, and, where applicable, interest earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. Except as otherwise indicated, average balances, when used, have been classified by currency (soles or foreign currency (primarily U.S. dollars)), regardless of the domestic or international origin of the relevant balances. In addition, unless otherwise set forth in this Annual Report on Form 20-F, such average balances are based on quarterly balances. Nominal average interest rates have been calculated by dividing interest earned on assets or paid on liabilities by the corresponding average balances on such assets or liabilities.

Changes in Net Interest and Similar Income and Net Interest and Similar Expense: Volume and Rate Analysis
The following table sets forth, by currency of denomination, changes in our interest revenue and expenses between changes in the average volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and changes in their respective nominal interest rates from the year ended December 31, 2023 to the year ended December 31, 2022 and from the year ended December 31, 2022 to the year ended December 31, 2021. Volume and rate variances have been calculated based on movements in average quarterly balances and changes in nominal interest rates, average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities. The net change attributable to changes in both volume and rate has been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

The ratio of allowances for loan losses to average loans was 4.9% in 2023 compared to 4.4% in 2022. The higher ratio was mainly explained by higher allowances for direct loans in addition to growth in the average balance of loans.
Higher allowances for direct loans were explained by increase in provision requirements in consumer loans and mortgages. These effects were partially offset by higher allowances for loans in commercial and small and micro-business loans.

ETHICS AND CORPORATE COMPLIANCE
IFS is firmly committed to promoting a world-class ethics and compliance program (the “Compliance Program”), fostering an ethics-driven compliance culture within its subsidiaries. Thus, IFS has a corporate compliance policy (the “IFS Corporate Compliance Policy”) based on local and US regulations, international best practices, and our principles and values.
The Compliance Program aims to promote corporate policies and procedures of effective internal controls designed to prevent, detect, and report inappropriate conducts, comply with laws and regulations, and mitigate reputational risk to maintain a sustainable business. In addition, this program is enhanced and strengthened by a sanction program and continuous mandatory training for all employees, including tailored training for the board of directors, front office, and compliance team members to prevent misconduct and reinforce compliance policies.
The Compliance Program is led by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”), who reports directly to the board of directors and indirectly to the CEO and is responsible for overseeing the Compliance Program within the organization. Moreover, each subsidiary has a Compliance Officer who reports to the CCO and to their respective board of directors.
The Compliance Program has a risk-based approach, which focuses on mitigating the risk of wrongdoing that could negatively impact our reputation. Our program includes the following policies:
Anti-Money Laundering / Anti-Terrorist Financing (“AML/ATF”)
IFS has implemented a risk-based AML/ATF program according to regulations pursuant to which each subsidiary operates, as well as international standards, and best practices, including the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
In the context of the digital era, we are continuously working on incorporating knowledge-based systems and tools to help us prevent and detect money laundering and financing of terrorism by using customized risk models.
The subsidiaries have implemented their policies and procedures in accordance with the IFS Corporate Compliance Policy and local regulation, approved by their respective boards of directors and reviewed on an annual basis, which includes but is not limited to:
| • | AML/AFT policy and procedures based on risk assessment. |
| • | Due diligence which includes Customer Identification Program (“CIP”), Know Your Customer, and enhanced due diligence (EDD) procedures including monitoring of the OFAC and International Sanctions List. |
| • | Know your employee, vendor, and counterparty policy. |
| • | Annual review of high-risk customers. |
In addition, the AML Compliance Officer of each subsidiary reviews and reports any suspicious transactions to their local regulatory authority when applicable.
Anti-Corruption Program
IFS is committed to conducting its business in accordance with world-class ethics and compliance standards. As part of that commitment, IFS prohibits its directors, officers and employees from making any political contribution on its behalf or its subsidiaries. Our anti-corruption program contains policies and procedures that comply with the local and international anti-corruption laws, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”).
Our program has been designed by understanding IFS’s business model and its risk profile. This program includes, but is not limited to, roles and responsibilities, guidelines, a zero-tolerance policy for any bribery or corruption act, policies regarding gifts, conflicts of interest, donations, and hiring and appointing employees, officers, and directors. The program also integrates mechanisms for reporting violations and outlines corresponding sanctions.
The subsidiaries have implemented their respective anti-corruption programs based on the IFS Corporate Compliance Policy and local anti-bribery regulations.
137
Insider Trading
The IFS insider trading program prohibits any of its directors, officers, or employees who possess material, non-public information concerning IFS or its subsidiaries from engaging in the buying or selling of securities related to the company. Moreover, it forbids these individuals from disclosing such sensitive information to others who might be influenced or encouraged to trade securities based on this undisclosed information.
Consumer Data Privacy Program
In accordance with local regulations and best international practices, IFS is committed to ensuring that any personal data is collected is used and processed in accordance with the purpose for which it has been provided, with the consent of the clients.
This program includes compliance with the legal framework of Law No. 29733 Personal Data Protection Law and its regulation approved by Supreme Decree No. 003-2013-JUS. In addition, the subsidiaries that are subject to this law, have implemented internal controls in accordance with the IFS Corporate Compliance Program.
To maintain accountability and uphold these standards, IFS and its subsidiaries have a sanction program for non-compliance with data protection laws.
Fiscal Transparency
O.C.D.E. Common Report Standard (“CRS”)
IFS and its subsidiaries are CRS compliant. As part of this compliance with CRS, IFS and its subsidiaries regularly provide financial information to their respective tax authorities. This reporting is done periodically according to local regulation, ensuring that the companies disclose relevant financial data as required by the CRS guidelines to maintain transparency and uphold tax regulations.
U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”)
IFS and its subsidiaries are FATCA compliant and are all classified as Reporting Model 1. Intercorp is the leader of the Expanded Affiliated Group.
Dodd Frank
IFS, as a counterparty of U.S. banks for operations with derivatives, must adhere to the Dodd Frank Protocol. Such requirements include the settlement of certain operations through a clearinghouse and adherence to the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) standards to comply, where applicable, with Dodd Frank regulations.
Whistleblower Hotline
IFS and its subsidiaries have implemented a whistleblower hotline that allows employees and stakeholders to report improper conduct, fraudulent practices, violations of internal policies, and unlawful, unethical conduct and any other concerns. These conducts can be reported through the website, e-mail, or phone call, and may be reported anonymously. Moreover, this hotline is managed by a third party to reinforce the confidentiality, anonymity, and data integrity of the complaint. Each subsidiary’s compliance team is responsible for managing the investigations and reports, including but not limited an escalation process up to the IFS’ CEO and/or Audit Committee when allegations are sensitive and/or related to the compliance team or senior management.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
Substantially all of our subsidiaries’ operations are conducted in Peru. Accordingly, our results of operations and financial condition are dependent on economic conditions, consumer spending and investment levels in Peru. During the 1980s, Peru experienced a severe economic crisis and high levels of inflation. Beginning in the 1990s, however, the Peruvian government implemented a series of structural reforms, which helped stabilize the Peruvian economy and foster continued GDP growth, lower
138
inflation and interest rates, more stable currency and significantly improved public finances. Moreover, and as a result of the financial crisis in 2008 and 2009, which was accompanied by a global economic downturn in many decades, the Peruvian economy, while affected, was one of the few economies in Latin America to experience growth in 2009. More recently, the crisis caused by the pandemic COVID-19 impacted economies worldwide, and Peru was not the exception. Peru’s real GDP recovered at a rate of 1.0% in 2009 following the financial crisis and 13.6% in 2021 following the COVID-19 pandemic, supported by the Peruvian government’s stimulus programs.
Nonetheless, the country has experienced a slowdown in recent years, mainly explained by lower domestic demand, as a result of a lower growth in private investment. This slowdown was intensified due to several factors, such as (i) a strong El Niño phenomenon, which adversely affected agricultural production, transportation services, tourism and commercial activity, and resulted in a 1.5% drop in GDP growth in 2017; (ii) corruption scandals related to the activities of certain Brazilian and Peruvian companies in the construction sector, which resulted in suspension or delay of important infrastructure projects during 2018; and (iii) political instability, as Peru has suffered a series of government institutional crises starting in 2018 due to, among other things, several corruption scandals involving prominent political figures. These scandals have resulted in resignations and impeachment of various presidents since then, including most recently former President Jose Pedro Castillo in December 2022 following an attempted coup, as well as investigations of certain members of the judicial system and the public ministry who are now facing prosecution. Despite these factors and continued political corruption scandals, the Peruvian economy continued to outperform its peer countries in 2019, supported by solid macroeconomic fundamentals and strong fiscal and monetary policies.
In 2020, Peru experienced an 11.0% GDP contraction as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and in particular the impact of the lockdown and mobility restrictions implemented by the Peruvian government to contain the spread of the pandemic, which in turn resulted in (i) lower employment, (ii) postponement of investment projects, and (iii) restricted access to goods and services. As a result of the reductions in private consumption and gross fixed investment, domestic demand decreased 9.8% during the year.
At the beginning of 2021, Peru continued to struggle from the effects of the pandemic but started to recover over time as targeted lockdowns decreased and were eventually lifted and the vaccination program accelerated. The recovery was mainly driven by domestic demand-oriented sectors, improved trade terms, higher private consumption, and the base effect of such improvements as compared to 2020. Nevertheless, such improved economic landscape was negatively affected by the uncertainty that arose in the run up to the April 2021 presidential and congressional elections. These political events contributed to a slowdown in GDP growth, volatility of the exchange rate and weakening of the local currency, which in turn also affected inflation. As a result of these factors, the Peruvian GDP grew 13.6% in 2021.
In 2022, political uncertainty and social unrest caused an economic deceleration that drove GDP growth to 2.7%. The most affected sectors included mining, tourism and agriculture. As a result, inflation increased to 8.5% for the year ended December 31, 2022. To curb inflation, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru tightened its monetary policy by increasing the reference policy rate to 7.50% as of December 2022.
In 2023, as a consequence of social unrest and a climatic phenomenon which took place in the first quarter, and of the possible impact of another climatic phenomenon (El Niño) for the first quarter of 2024, the GDP decreased 0.6% in 2023. As a consequence, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru has decreased the reference interest rate to 7.00% and 6.25% as of November 30, 2023 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
The table below sets forth additional details regarding Peru’s recent economic performance.

The Peruvian government’s conservative fiscal policy, coupled with the Central Reserve Bank of Peru’s responsible management of inflation and international reserves has helped Peru maintain its investment grade ratings by Moody’s (Baal), S&P (BBB+) and Fitch (BBB). Peru’s credit ratings are subject to periodic review and may be revised or lowered at any time.
Furthermore, in its most recent forecast as of December 22, 2023, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru has estimated real GDP growth of 3.0% for 2024, as compared to a 0.6% decrease in 2023, a 2.7% increase registered in 2022 and a 13.6% increase registered in 2021.
Interest Rates
In general, increases in prevailing interest rates result in more interest revenue from loans. An increase of prevailing interest rates may, however, adversely affect Interbank as a result of reduced overall demand for loans and greater risk of default by its clients. In addition, relatively high interest rates affect Interbank’s funding costs, and can adversely affect spreads on its loan portfolio if Interbank is unable to pass on the increased funding costs to its clients. On the other hand, a decrease in interest rates can reduce Interbank’s revenue from its loan portfolio. This revenue decrease may be offset by an increase in the volume of loans resulting from higher demand and/or a decrease in Interbank’s funding costs. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, on April 9, 2020, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru took several measures, such as reducing the reference interest rate by 200 basis points from 2.25% to 0.25%. This measure affected both interest income and interest expense.
In May 2021, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru set the methodology to determine maximum interest rates applicable to three types of loans: (i) ordinary consumer credit; (ii) consumer loans equivalent to two UIT (Unidad Impositiva Tributaria”) or less; and, (iii) credit for small and micro businesses, as ruled by Law 31143. Maximum interest rates are to be set at two times the average rate of consumer loans during the period between two and seven months prior to becoming effective. The interest rate cap was first effective for the period between May and October 2021 at a level of 83.4% for loans denominated in soles and 68.4% for loans denominated in U.S. dollars. For the period between November 2022 and April 2023, the interest rate cap was 87.9% for loans denominated in soles and 68.3% for loans denominated in U.S. dollars. For the period between May and October 2023, the interest rate cap was 96.32% for loans denominated in soles and 77.50% for loans denominated in U.S. dollars. For the period between November 2023 and April 2024, the interest rate cap is 101.86% for loans denominated in soles and 82.94% for loans denominated in U.S. dollars. The interest rate cap does not represent a major disruption to Interbank’s results.
Increases in interest rates negatively affect the value of Interseguro’s fixed income portfolio. However, higher rates allow Interseguro to reinvest new annuities at a higher yield. At the same time, increases in interest rates result in an increase in the discount rate Interseguro uses to calculate its reserve requirements, which has the effect of reducing Interseguro’s required technical reserves. Conversely, if interest rates fall, Interseguro’s portfolio will have a lower average interest rate, resulting in Interseguro having to record higher technical reserves.
Similar to Interbank, an increase in prevailing interest rates may adversely affect Inteligo as a result of reduced overall demand for loans, as well as lower interest margins if Inteligo is unable to pass on higher funding costs to its clients. On the other hand, a decrease in interest rates may reduce Inteligo’s revenue from its loan portfolio. Furthermore, a portion of Inteligo’s revenues corresponds to earnings from its investment portfolio and is therefore exposed to interest rates fluctuations that may affect revenue from fixed-income instruments.
Increases in interest rates result in additional interest income from Inteligo’s variable-rate investments, but may also result in capital losses on its fixed-rate investments.
Likewise, increases in interest rates in Izipay result in lower transactional volumes because of higher cost of debt for the customers. Also, in this context, Izipay’s funding strategy may be affected because of higher financial cost.
Inflation
Our performance may be impacted by inflation, because substantially all of our assets are not adjusted for the effects of inflation. During the 1980s, Peru experienced hyperinflation, negative economic growth and substantial currency devaluation. Inflation rates in Peru began to decrease in the 1990s and in the last 14 years Peru had one of the lowest average inflation rates in the region, partly due to the monetary policy implemented by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru and partly due to the conservative fiscal policy of the Peruvian government. In 2002, in order to maintain low inflation rates, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru established an annual inflation target of 2.5% within a range of one percentage point. In 2007, the target was lowered to 2%, within a range of one percentage point. The Central Reserve Bank of Peru has maintained its target inflation range ever since. The inflation rate in Peru, as measured by changes in the Metropolitan Lima consumer price index published by the INEI, was 12.2% in 2018, 1.9% in 2019, 2.0% in 2020, 6.4% in 2021, 8.5% in 2022 and 3.2% in 2023. In its most recent forecast as of December 22, 2023, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru has estimated Peru’s inflation to be 2.3% in 2024.
140
Depreciation and Appreciation of the sol
The sol floats freely against other currencies. Nevertheless, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru participates in the market (buying or selling soles) in order to avoid any large fluctuations in the exchange rate because of the effects that it could have on the Peruvian economy, which remains partly dollarized. Because a significant portion of our subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollars and our consolidated financial statements are prepared in soles, the results reflected in our consolidated financial statements are affected by fluctuations in the exchange rates between the sol and the U.S. dollar.
In 2015, the sol depreciated significantly against the U.S. dollar and remained relatively stable until the beginning of 2020. However, during 2020, the sol rapidly depreciated against the U.S. dollar as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which in 2021 and 2022 continued to depreciate due to political uncertainty in Peru, global market volatility and the rising inflation. In this context, any future changes in the value of the sol against the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations to the extent that our subsidiaries maintain a gap between foreign denominated assets and liabilities.
The Peruvian government adopted a policy to encourage the de-dollarization of the Peruvian economy. This policy included promoting the development of a sol capital market and local currency yield curves. The proportion of outstanding loans in the banking system denominated in U.S. dollars has fallen from 51.0% as of December 31, 2011 to 28.0% as of December 31, 2023, according to figures published by the SBS. The percentage of deposits in the banking system denominated in U.S. dollars was approximately 47.3% as of December 31, 2011 compared to 39.2% as of December 31, 2023. Interbank’s proportion of loans in soles increased from 53.2% as of December 31, 2011 to 73.1% as of December 31, 2023, while deposits in soles increased from 56.8% as of December 31, 2011 to 66.4% as of December 31, 2023.
As of December 31, 2023, 68.3% of Interseguro’s investment portfolio was invested in soles and 31.7% was invested in U.S. dollars. According to Interseguro’s investment policy, it allocates the currency of its investment portfolio to mitigate potential currency volatility between its investment assets and its insurance liabilities as observed since the commencement of the COVID-19 outbreak.
Substantially all of Inteligo’s financial assets and liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Moreover, Izipay’s transactions may be affected by the exchange rate volatility.
Monetary Policy
In April 2010, as a result of significant economic growth, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru began tightening its monetary policy, raising the reference rate. This tightening policy had the goal of mitigating speculative capital inflows and cooling the expansion of credit.
However, since the beginning of 2017, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru started loosening its monetary policy. From January 2017 to December 2020, the reference rate decreased from 4.25% to 0.25%. On March 19, 2020, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru reduced its reference rate by 100 basis points to 1.25%. Furthermore, on April 9, 2020, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru took several measures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including reducing the reference interest rate by another 100 basis points from 1.25% to 0.25%. In response to rising inflationary concerns, in August 2021, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru started tightening its monetary policy, similar to other monetary authorities around the world. In response to concerns about inflation, the United States Federal Reserve has raised interest rates. The Central Reserve Bank of Peru began to increase rates in 2021 from 0.25% to 7.50% in December 2022. Since then, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru has decreased the reference interest rate to 7.00% and 6.75% as of November 30, 2023 and December 19, 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the reference interest rate was 6.25%.
Regulatory Changes
In April 2016, a new law entered in force which allows retirees to withdraw 95.5% of their pension funds as a one-time transaction. As a second stage of this law, in October 2016, retirees were allowed to withdraw their pension fund in several transactions whenever desired. This regulatory change resulted in a 36% yearly contraction for the Peruvian insurance system in purchases of regular and private annuities from 2015 to 2016, according to the SBS. Interseguro was negatively affected by the law, with annuities collected of S/337.8 million in 2016, a 38% reduction compared to 2015.
However, as of December 2022, the annuities market has continued to stabilize as a result of the introduction of private annuities, a type of annuity created to fill the vacuum left by the law. This product, pioneered by Interseguro in October 2016 and soon followed by other providers, helped the industry recover a portion of the lost market. In 2023, private annuities accounted for 6.8% of the premiums collected in 2023 for the insurance industry. For Interseguro, private annuities represented 32.4% of its S/479.2 million in collections in annuities as of December 31, 2023.
141
Subsequent Adjustments to the Expected Loss Model
Due to the risks and uncertainties originated by the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020 and which continued throughout 2021, as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with SEC on April 26, 2021 and in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on April 25, 2022. Additionally, economic and political uncertainty in Peru, rising inflation and global financial market volatility, as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with SEC on April 25, 2023. Interbank assessed whether to include a series of expert judgments with the purpose of calculating the expected loss pursuant to the requirement established by IFRS 9.
We made adjustments to the expected loss model to include in the calculation the effects of the uncertainty and risks generated by current events as of December 31, 2023. In connection with those adjustments, an expert judgment was established to stress test of the probability of default (PD) for loans in Stage 1 and Stage 2 as the result of the “El Niño” phenomenon’s potential impacts in Peru.
Adoption of New Standards and Disclosures
Generally, we have only adopted standards, interpretations or amendments that were effective in each year. Therefore, standards, interpretations or amendments that become effective in 2023 or later have not been early adopted.
As explained in Note 3.2 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements, we have adopted for the first time IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”, effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. IFRS 17 replaces IFRS 4 “Insurance Contracts” for annual periods starting on or after January 1, 2023.The adoption of IFRS 17 did not change the classification of our insurance contracts. However, it provides a comprehensive accounting model for all types of insurance contracts that provides a more consistent framework for insurers, covering all relevant aspects as recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosures. We have applied IFRS 17 retrospectively and restated comparative information for 2022. Comparative information for 2021 has not been restated, so it is reported under IFRS 4. The impact of the first adoption of IFRS 17 amounted to S/820.5 million recorded as a reduction of retained earnings in our net equity as of January 1, 2022. For further information on IFRS 17, see Notes 3.2 and 3.7 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements.
We have also adopted the following standards, interpretation, or amendments: (i) in connection with the definition of Accounting Estimates, an amendment to IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors,” (ii) in connection with the disclosure of Accounting Policies, amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” and IFRS Practice Statement 2 “Making Materiality Judgements,” (iii) in connection with Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction, amendments to IAS 12 “Income Taxes,” and (iv) in connection with the International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules, amendments to IAS 12 “Income Taxes.” Such standards, interpretations or amendments have not had a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. For further information, see Note 3.2 to our audited consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2022, we adopted the following standards, interpretations, or amendments: (i) in connection with costs of fulfilling a contract, an amendment to IAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets,” (ii) amendments to IFRS 3 “Business Combinations,” (iii) in connection with proceeds before intended use of property, plant and equipment, an amendment to IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment,” (iv) in connection with a subsidiary as a first time adopter, an amendment to IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards,” and (v) in connection with fees in the “10 per cent” test for derecognition of financial liabilities, an amendment to IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments.” Such standards, interpretations or amendments have not had a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2021, we adopted the following standards, interpretations, or amendments: (i) in connection with the interest rate benchmark reform, amendments to IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement,” and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures,” IFRS 4 “Insurance Contracts,” and IFRS 16 “Leases”,– Phase 2; and (ii) in connection with COVID-19 related rent concessions beyond June 30, 2021, an amendment to IFRS 16 “Leases”. Such standards, interpretations or amendments have not had a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Critical accounting estimates and judgments
In preparing our audited annual consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), we apply judgment and make estimates and assumptions that may involve significant uncertainty at the time they are made. We regularly reassess those estimates and assumptions, which encompass historical experience, expectations of the future and other pertinent factors, to determine their continuing relevance based on current conditions, and we update them as necessary. Changes in estimates and assumptions may have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, our actual results may differ significantly from our estimates, which could result in significant losses to us or our subsidiaries, beyond what we anticipated or provided for.
142
Key areas involving a high degree of judgment and areas where estimates and assumptions are significant to the consolidated financial statements include:
| • | the calculation of the impairment of the portfolio of loans and financial investments; |
| • | the measurement of the fair value of the financial investments and investment properties; |
| • | the assessment of the impairment of the goodwill; |
| • | determination of terms and estimation of the applicable interest rate for lease agreements; |
| • | the liabilities for insurance contracts; |
| • | the measurement of the fair value of derivative financial instruments; |
| • | the estimated useful life of intangible assets, property, furniture and equipment; |
| • | the estimation of assets and liabilities for deferred income tax; and |
| • | the estimation of provisions for litigation. |
We believe that the judgments, estimates and assumptions we have made are appropriate under the circumstances and that our audited annual consolidated financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the financial positions of IFS as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 in accordance with IFRS.

Our assets were S/89,624.8 million as of December 31, 2023, a 2.4% increase from S/87,482.1 million as of December 31, 2022. This was mainly driven by an increase of 17.3% in financial investments, 2.8% in loans, net of unearned interest and 13.6% in other assets. These factors were partially offset by a decrease of 23.3% in cash, due from banks and an increase of 15.9% in impairment allowance for loans.
The increase in financial investments resulted mainly from higher Central Reserve Bank of Peru Certificates of Deposits (“CDBCR”) and sovereign Bonds. The increase in loans, net of unearned interest was mainly the result of higher retail loans balances at Interbank, which was primarily due to increases in consumer loans and mortgages. This increase was partially offset by lower commercial loan balances due to decreases in short and medium-term lending. The decrease in cash, due from bank and inter-banks funds was mainly due to lower deposits at the Central Reserve Bank of Peru. And finally, the increase in impairment allowance for loans occurred mainly at Interbank.
Our liabilities reached S/79,616.7 million as of December 31, 2023, a 2.0% increase from S/78,055.9 million as of December 31, 2022. This was mainly driven by a 28.3% increase in due to banks and correspondents, 8.7% in insurance contract liabilities, and of 8.2% in other liabilities, partially offset by a decrease of 29.8% in bonds, notes and other obligations.
Our net equity was S/10,008.1 million as of December 31, 2023, a 6.2% increase from S/9,426.3 million as of December 31, 2022, mainly as a result of higher retained earnings.

See Note 3.2 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements. |
Our net profit was S/1,079.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, a 35.7% decrease as compared to 2022. The deterioration in net profit was mainly driven a result of increases of more than two-fold in impairment loss on loans and 4.7% in other expenses. These factors were partially offset by increases of 7.6% in net interest and similar income, 3.6% in net fee income from financial services, 2.8% in other income, in addition to an improvement in insurance and translation results.
145
Impairment loss on loans, net of recoveries increased from S/830.6 million as of December 31, 2022 to S/1,981.8 million as of December 31, 2023 mainly due to the deterioration of the macroeconomic outlook in Peru, social and climatic events that took place at the beginning of the year and provisions as a result of the impact to the retail and commercial portfolio caused by the “El Niño” phenomenon.
The increase in other expenses was mostly attributed to higher expenses across all our business, and the increase in administrative expenses was mainly related to marketing and credit card expenses, and IT services at Interbank.
The increase in net interest and similar was mainly due to an increase of 12.6% in our banking segment, partially offset by decreases of 10.6% and 18.4% million in our insurance and wealth management segments, respectively.
The increase in net fee income from financial services was mainly due to higher commissions across most products and services in our banking segment and higher fees from payments acquirer in our payments segment, where the number of merchants grew 25.0%. However, lower fees from funds management in our wealth management segment partially compensated the positive performance.
Our ROE was 11.3% in 2023, lower than the 19.1% reported in 2022, mainly due to increases in impairment loss on loans, net of recoveries and other expenses, which were partially compensated by increases in net interest and similar income, fee income from financial services, net, and other income.

Banking
Interbank’s net results were profit of S/856.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to net profit of S/1,374.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The main factors that contributed to this result were increases of more than two fold in impairment loss on loans, net of recoveries, and of 1.0% in other expenses. These factors were partially offset by increases of 12.6% in net interest and similar income, 4.1% in other income, and 2.0% in net fee income from financial services. .
Interbank’s ROE was 11.2% for the year ended December 31, 2023, representing lower profitability compared to the 19.8% recorded for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Interest and similar income increased 27.3% due to a 25.4% increase in interest on loan portfolio, a 17.5% increase in interest on financial investment and a 105.7% increase in interest on due from banks and inter-bank funds.
147
Interest on loan portfolio grew S/1,059.3 million, or 25.4%, due to increases of 180 basis points in the nominal average rate and 5.7% in the average volume. The higher average rate on loans, from 9.4% in 2022 to 11.2% in 2023, was due to yield increases in the commercial and consumer portfolios, and mortgages to a lesser extent. The higher average volume of loans was attributed to growth of 13.4% in retail loans, partially offset by a 3.9% decrease in commercial loans. In the retail portfolio, the higher average volume was mainly due to increases of 17.3% in consumer loans and 7.2% in mortgages. The reduction in commercial loans was attributed to decreases of 7.3% in working capital loans and 4.8% in trade finance loans, partially offset by growth of 16.4% in leasing operations.
Interest on financial investments increased S/78.1 million, or 17.5%, due to growth of 60 basis points in the average yield and 4.6% in the average volume. The higher average yield, from 4.2% in 2022 to 4.8% in 2023, was due to higher returns on CDBCR and corporate bonds, partially offset by lower returns on sovereign bonds. The higher average volume was a result of increases in balances of CDBCR and sovereign bonds, partially compensated by lower positions in global and corporate bonds.
Interest on due from banks and inter-bank funds increased by S/164.2 million, or more than two-fold, explained by a 190 basis point increase in the nominal average rate, from 1.3% in 2022 to 3.2% in 2023, partially offset by a 14.2% decrease in the average volume.
As a result of the above, the nominal average yield on interest-earning assets expanded 170 basis points, from 7.2% for in 2022 to 8.9% in 2023.

Interest and similar expense increased 60.0% mainly due to an 83.9% increase in interest on deposits and obligations, and a 110.1% increase in interest on obligations with financial institutions and others, partially offset by a 30.4% decrease in interest on bonds, notes and other obligations.
Interest and fees on deposits and obligations increased S/756.4 million, or 83.9%, explained by a 160 basis point increase in the average cost, from 2.0% in 2022 to 3.6% in 2023, as a result of higher rates paid to institutional, commercial and retail deposits, associated with higher reference rates globally. The 3.0% increase in the average volume was explained by higher balances of institutional and retail deposits, partially compensated by lower balances of commercial deposits.
Interest and fees on obligations with financial institutions and others increased 110.1% for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2023, as a result of a 250 basis point increase in the average cost, from 2.9% in 2022 to 5.4% in 2023, as well as an 11.8% increase in the average volume. The higher average cost was due to higher rates in funding provided by correspondent banks abroad and by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, partially compensated by lower rates in inter-bank funds. The higher average volume was related to higher balances in funding from correspondent banks abroad, COFIDE and inter-bank funds, partially offset by lower funding provided by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru.
Interest on bonds, notes and other obligations decreased mainly due a 27.5% reduction in the average volume, attributable to the maturity and repayment of a senior international bond, as well as local subordinated bonds throughout the year.

Wealth Management
Inteligo’s profit was S/36.2 million in 2023, a positive performance compared to the loss of S/141.4 million reported in 2022. This was mainly attributable to investment portfolio recovery, from reported losses of S/244.5 million in 2022 to S/40.2 million in 2023, due to a lower loss on proprietary portfolio investments held at fair value through profit and loss.
Inteligo’s ROE was 4.0% for the year ended December 31, 2023, a positive result compared to 2022. This was mainly attributable to the recovery of the proprietary portfolio, partially offset by a 18.4% decrease in net interest and similar income, mainly as a result of higher interest expenses, and a 10.5% contraction in net fee income from financial services, due to lower fees from funds management.

Total other expenses increased by S/8.1 million, or 5.6%, for the year ended December 31, 2023 mainly due to higher salaries and employee’s benefits, as well as increased administrative expenses.
Inteligo’s efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing salaries and employee benefits plus administrative expenses plus depreciation and amortization by net interest and similar income plus net fee income from financial services plus other income. Our wealth management segment’s efficiency ratio showed a result of 78.9% for the year ended December 31, 2023 from a not meaningful result for the year ended December 31, 2022, mainly due to positive revenues.
Payments
Izipay’s consolidated revenues and net profit for the year ended December 31, 2023 were S/815.9 million and S/33.1 million, respectively, compared to consolidated revenues of S/595.4 million and net profit of S/41.1 million in 2022, since the date of its acquisition in April 2022. As a reference, for the year ended December 31, 2022, including the period prior to its acquisition, Izipay had consolidated revenues of S/754.3 million and consolidated net profit of S/51.2 million.
The positive performance from Izipay during the year 2023 is mainly explained by a 2.0% growth in net fee income from financial services, in turn attributed to higher income from payments acquirer, as a result of increases in the number of merchants and monetary transactions of 25.0% and 12.6%, respectively. The positive results were partly impacted by a 12.9% increase in other expenses, mainly due to higher administrative expenses given the rise in business activity.
Izipay’s ROE was 14.0% for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to a ROE of 26.7% for the period starting in April 2022, when it became a consolidated subsidiary, until December 31, 2022.

Our assets were S/87,482.6 million as of December 31, 2022, a 2.7% decrease from S/89,953.9 million as of December 31, 2021. This was mainly driven by a decrease of 21.3% in cash, due to from banks and inter-banks funds, 7.2% in financial investments and 1.8% in impairment allowance for loans. These factors were partially offset by growth of 5.5% in loans, net of unearned interest.
The decrease in cash, due to from banks and inter-banks funds resulted mainly from lower deposits at the Central Reserve Bank of Peru. The decrease in financial investments resulted from lower volumes of sovereign bonds, Central Reserve Bank of Peru Certificates of Deposits (“CDBCR”) and corporate bonds. The decrease in impairment allowance for loans occurred mainly at Interbank. The increase in loans, net of unearned interest was mainly the result of higher retail loans balances at Interbank, which was primarily due to increases in consumer loans and mortgages. This increase was partially offset by lower commercial loan balances due to decreases in short and medium-term lending, as well as lower leasing operations, in both cases across all business segments.
Our liabilities reached S/77,436.7 million as of December 31, 2022, a 3.7% decrease from S/80,398.5 million as of December 31, 2021. This was mainly driven by a 16.3% decrease in due to banks and correspondents and inter-banks funds, 11.3% decrease in insurance contract liabilities, and 5.8% decrease in bonds, notes and other obligations.
Our net equity was S/10,046.0 million as of December 31, 2022, a 5.1% increase from S/9,555.4 million as of December 31, 2021, mainly as a result of higher retained earnings.

Our net profit was S/1,670.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, a 7.2% decrease as compared to 2021. The deterioration in net profit was mainly driven by a significant increase of S/449.0 million in impairment loss on loans and decrease of S/363.2 million in other income, an increase of S/421.1 million in other expenses, and a decrease of S/43.6 million in loss due to impairment of financial investments. These factors were partially offset by a S/661.5 million increase in net interest and similar income, an increase of S/313.6 in net fee income from financial services, and lower income tax.
Impairment loss on loans, net of recoveries increased from S/381.6 million as of December 31, 2021 to S/830.6 million as of December 31, 2022 mainly due to more than two-fold, compared to the previous year, in which there was a reversion of provisions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in provision expenses was mainly related to higher requirements in the retail and loan book, partially offset by lower requirements in the commercial loan book, associated with a deterioration of the macroeconomic outlook in Peru. The decrease in other income was mainly due to negative performance in our wealth management segment mainly supported by net gain of foreign exchange transactions and on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss at Interbank.
The increase in other expenses is mainly due to the extraordinary income of S/222.5 million due to Izipay’s acquisition at fair value adjustment of the participation held by Interbank in Izipay, in addition to higher personnel and administrative expenses, as well as higher salaries and employee benefits across all four subsidiaries. The increase in administrative expenses was mainly related to marketing and credit card expenses, and IT services at Interbank.
The increase in net interest and similar income was mainly due to a slightly higher return of the fixed income portfolio at Interseguro and higher interest and similar expenses at Inteligo. This increase was partially offset by an increase in net interest and similar income at Interbank.
The decrease in net fee income from financial services was mainly due to lower fees at Inteligo, partially offset by higher commissions across most products and services at Interbank.
Our ROE was 17.7% in 2022, lower than the 19.3% reported in 2021, mainly due to an increase in impairment loss on loans, net of recoveries and a decrease in other income and net fee income from financial services, partially offset by an increase in net interest and similar income.

The discussion below covers each of our reported segments and corresponds to information before adjustments and eliminations for consolidation, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, in accordance with IFRS.
Banking
Interbank’s net results were profit of S/1,374.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to net profit of S/1,360.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The main factors that contributed to this result were the lower income tax due to the deterioration in profitability, in addition to a 20.2% increase in net interest and similar income, a 17.8% increase in net fee income from financial services and a 14.0% increase in other income. These factors were partially offset by the 119.7% increase in impairment loss on loans and an 8.0% increase in other expenses.
Interbank’s ROE was 19.8% for the year ended December 31, 2022, representing a slight decline in profitability compared to the 21.0% recorded for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Interest and similar income increased 31.3% due to a 25.3% increase in interest on loan portfolio, a 67.8% increase in interest on financial investment and a 289.5% increase in interest on due from banks and inter-bank funds.
The increase in interest on loan portfolio was mainly due to a 150 basis point increase in the average rate, as well as a 4.7% increase in average volume. The higher average rate on loans, from 7.9% in 2021 to 9.4% in 2022, was due to yield increases in both retail and commercial segments. In retail loans rates increased on other consumer loans and mortgages. In the commercial portfolio, rates increased on all types of loans. The higher average volume of loans was attributable to a 14.4% increase in retail loans, partially offset by a 4.1% decrease in commercial loans. In the retail portfolio, average volumes grew due to a 8.6% increase in mortgages, partially offset by a 18.4% increase in the average balance of consumer loans. In the commercial portfolio, the lower average volume was mainly due to a 12.1% decrease in short and medium-term loans, as well as 4.9% in leasing operations, partially offset by a 26.4% increase in trade finance loans.
Interest due from banks and inter-bank funds increased by S/115.4 million, or 289.5%, primarily as a result of 29.8% decline in the average volume and a 110 basis point increase in the nominal average rate. The decrease in the average volume was explained by lower deposits at the Central Reserve Bank of Peru.
The increase in interest on financial investments was primarily the result of an increase in average volumes, and by a 140 basis point increase in the average yield. The increase in the average volume was mainly the result of higher average balances of CDBCR and corporate bonds from non-financial institutions and sovereign bonds, partially offset by lower positions in global bonds and corporate bonds from financial institutions. The increase in the nominal average rate, from 2.8% in 2021 to 4.2% in 2022, was mainly explained by higher returns on all types of securities, especially CDBCR and corporate bonds from financial institutions.
As a result of the above, the nominal average yield on interest-earning assets increased 190 basis points, from 5.3% for the year ended December 31, 2021 to 7.2% for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Interest and similar expense increased 65.4% mainly due to a 143.7% increase in interest on deposits and obligations, and a 46.2% increase in interest on due to banks and correspondents, partially offset by a 4.3% decrease in interest on bonds, notes and other obligations.
Interest and fees on deposits and obligations increased mainly due to a 120 basis point increase in the average cost, from 0.8% in 2021 to 2.0% in 2022 due to higher interest rate environment which resulted in an increase in rates payable on institutional, retail and commercial deposits, partially offset by 2.8% decrease in average volumes across all client segments. By currency, average balances of soles-denominated deposits increased 24.7% while average dollar-denominated deposits increased 29.1%.
Interest and fees on obligations with financial institutions and others increased from 46.2% for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to 2021, mainly due to a 120 basis points decrease in the average cost mainly due to higher rates payable on all types of funding, especially that provided by correspondent banks abroad and inter-bank funds, partially offset by 12.6% decrease in the average volume. The decrease in the average volume was due to lower funding provided by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru and COFIDE.
Interest on bonds, notes and other obligations decreased mainly due to 2.3% decrease in the average volume, mainly attributable to a 10 basis point decrease in the nominal average cost. These effects were mostly attributable to the maturity of local subordinated bonds for S/137.9 million in June 2022.
The average cost of funds decreased 100 basis points, from 1.5% for the year ended December 31, 2021 to 2.5% for the year ended December 31, 2022, in line with the higher implicit cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

Insurance
Interseguro’s profit attributable to shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2022 was S/248.0 million compared to a S/272.7 million profit for the year ended December 31, 2021 mainly due to a S/91.8 million increase in net interest and similar income, primarily due to a S/188.8 million decrease in other income, as well as a S/48.7 million increase in other expenses and for a S/33.2 million lower impairment recovery.

Other expenses increased S/48.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 when compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, mainly due to increases of S/97.3 million third-party commissions, as well as S/3.5 million in expenses related to rental income. These factors were partially offset by a decrease of S/47.4 million in salaries and employee’s benefits.
Wealth Management
Inteligo’s net loss was S/141.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, a reversal from net profit of S/283.5 for the year ended December 31, 2021. This result was mainly attributable to decrease in other income due to weak investment results for the year, and 17.1% decrease in fee income from financial services, in part supported by the effect of a lower foreign exchange results in these two revenue lines.
Inteligo’s ROE was 13.6% for the year ended December 31, 2022, lower than the 23.0% registered for the year ended December 31, 2021. This was mainly attributable to a decrease in shareholders’ equity which in turn was mainly attributed to decreases in accumulated results and the effect on equity of a lower foreign exchange rate due to the appreciation of the sol against the U.S. dollar in 2022 as compared to 2021.

Total other expenses increased S/2.1 million, or 1.4%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 mainly due to a higher number of employees and higher administrative expenses.
Inteligo’s efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing salaries and employee benefits plus administrative expenses plus depreciation and amortization by net interest and similar income plus net fee income from financial services plus other income. Our wealth management segment’s efficiency ratio deteriorated from 31.6% for the year ended December 31, 2021, mainly due to lower revenues, despite the slight increase in expenses.
Payments
Since the date of its acquisition in April 2022, Izipay had consolidated revenues of S/595.4 million and consolidated net profit of S/41.1 million. As a reference, for the year ended December 31, 2022, including the period prior to its acquisition, Izipay had consolidated revenues of S/754.3 million and consolidated net profit of S/51.2 million.
The positive performance from Izipay during the year 2022 is mainly explained by growth in its net fee income from financial services, as a result of higher income from payments due to the increase of the number of merchants served and monetary transactions recorded, which grew 14% and 10%, respectively, during the last quarter of 2022. The positive results were partly
169
impacted by higher administrative expenses attributed to an increase in customer acquisition, as well as higher salaries and benefits to employees, and depreciation and amortization charges given the sharp rise in business activity. Izipay’s ROE was 26.7% for the period starting in April 2022, when it became a consolidated subsidiary, until December 31, 2022.

In our banking segment, our primary sources of funds have traditionally consisted of deposits and obligations, which amounted to S/46,053.6 million as of December 31, 2023.

For a description of the legal reserve (encaje) regulations, see “Item 4.

At times, Interbank has utilized Peru’s short-term interbank loans market to satisfy liquidity needs. The Central Reserve Bank of Peru’s discount window, which makes short-term loans to banks at premium rates, is another potential short-term funding source; although, Interbank has used it infrequently. As part of Interbank’s liquidity management, it sometimes enters into repos on Central Reserve Bank of Peru certificates of deposit, which are a cost and tax efficient source of funds in Peruvian currency.
Amounts due to banks and correspondents and inter-bank funds (including both short and long-term amounts) increased S/2,032.4 million, or 30.1%, to S/8,789.0 million as of December 31, 2023 from S/6,756.6 million as of December 31, 2022, mainly due to a bond maturing and being replaced with the debt due to banks and correspondents.

Interseguro
Interseguro is required to maintain a minimum regulatory capital, also known as solvency equity, pursuant to guidelines issued by the SBS. The capital requirement is the sum of solvency equity and the guarantee fund. Solvency equity is determined by the level of risk and the risk profile assumed by an insurance company in Peru in accordance with SBS regulations. The guarantee fund is equivalent to 35% of solvency equity plus the investment component borne by the company, and 10% of the fair value of real estate. See Note 16(f) to our audited annual consolidated financial statements and “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Regulation and Supervision” in this Annual Report on Form 20-F for a discussion of regulatory capital requirements applicable to Interseguro.

Inteligo Bank
Inteligo Bank is required to maintain a minimum regulatory capital of not less than 12% of its risk-weighted assets, pursuant to the Bahamas Capital Regulations 2022, released by the Central Bank of Bahamas in August 2022. Risk-weighted assets are the sum of (i) the total amount of credit risk weighted assets and indirect loans, (ii) 10 times the regulatory capital allocated to cover market risk, only if the bank’s market risk position is higher than (a) 5% of the total on- and off-balance sheet assets, or (b) U.S.$100 million, and (iii) 12.5 times the regulatory capital allocated to cover operational risk. As of December 31, 2023, Inteligo Bank’s ratio of regulatory capital to total risk-weighted assets was 17.4%.
The following tables present Inteligo Bank’s risk-weighted assets and regulatory capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, according to the current capital requirements of the Central Bank of the Bahamas.

Prior to 2023, the Central Bank of Bahamas required a minimum regulatory capital of not less than 8% of risk-weighted assets and the methodology to calculate the eligible capital did not include deductions of high-risk assets. The capital adequacy ratio reported by Inteligo Bank according to prior requirements was 24.4% and 20.4% as of December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. Using this methodology, the ratio as of December 31, 2023 would have been 22.8%.
In 2018, the Central Bank of The Bahamas published two discussion papers focused on minimum disclosures (Pillar III of the Basel II framework) and the net stable funding ratio and the liquidity coverage ratio (main components of Basel III), but its liquidity framework is still in development.
In Peru, Inteligo SAB is regulated by the SMV, which is responsible for determining the minimum capital requirement for the companies under its supervision. As of December 31, 2023, the capital requirement for brokerage houses is the sum of (i) the minimum regulatory capital required of S/2.5 million; and (ii) the regulatory capital allocated to cover operational risks. As of December 31, 2023, Inteligo SAB held capital exceeding S/24.1 million.
Izipay
In Peru, Izipay is regulated by Central Reserve Bank of Peru but it is not subject to mandatory capital requirements.

Capital Expenditures Program
We have made significant investments and, in particular, in our banking segment. In fact, Interbank has made substantial investments in recent years targeting both digital and physical infrastructure.
Interbank believes that it is building the foundations to capture current and future market opportunities and continue to grow. It has a capital expenditure plan to ensure the accomplishment of its medium-term strategic plan, as it believes that not only operating efficiency and proximity to its customers, but also digital transformation and innovation, are key competitive advantages. We are investing intensely in our transformation and our technology capital expenditures is two times the amount of our investment made in 2015.
178
While we budget for investments across our subsidiaries, Interbank accounts for the substantial majority or our capital expenditures budget. Interbank’s budget for capital expenditures for 2024 is approximately S/278 million. Of this budget, approximately 79% is related to technology expenditures including investments in our digital platform, aligned with technology as a main pillar at IFS. Some of the key technological expenditures include:
| • | significant improvements in our digital platform, including new functionalities aimed to enhance User Experience (UX), in both retail and commercial segments; |
| • | further improvement in advanced analytical capabilities and personalization approach to better understand our customers through data and analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, among others, to enrich our understanding of Peruvian clients and strengthen our data driven organization approach; |
| • | research and development of digital solutions, including products, services, and processes in a fast-changing and competitive environment; and |
| • | strengthen cybersecurity standards to protect our customers. |
Interseguro has invested in technology and projects to support its rapidly expanding operations. It has implemented an operations system in order to support Interseguro’s planned growth in individual life and retail insurance products, a CRM platform, robotic process automation (RPA) to automate processes and look for operational efficiency, in addition to improving such processes and freeing up resources.
Interseguro also has introduced its new 100% digital products and solutions such as life insurance, auto insurance, travel insurance, and SOAT (obligatory insurance for auto circulation). Interseguro has also implemented and digitized the process of analysis of needs for life insurance products, which allows the company to issue insurance policies without a physical application form.
Additionally, Interseguro continues improving business intelligence capabilities such as Datalake which consolidates information from various Interseguro systems to generate a unique customer base for the creation of predictive models (admission, risk, fraud, purchase propensity). The goal is to generate specific insights that support decision-making across various fronts, including information models, machine learning models, among others.
In our wealth management segment, Inteligo SAB and Inteligo Peru Holdings implemented a new core system “SAP Business One” to automate back-office activities like accounting, budgeting and purchasing in 2022. During 2023, Interfondos also implemented “SAP Business One”. Inteligo Bank has continued working on complementing its IT infrastructure and further developing of its technology platform, which will allow it to leverage its existing CRM platform and develop stronger business intelligence capabilities.
In our payments segment, Izipay constantly invests in technology in order to reinforce its network, including POS with Android operative system as well as hardware to increase its capacity and developing software in order to deliver new services to different types of customers. The capital expenditure investment from Izipay for the period 2023 was S/89.6 million.

| D. | Trend Information |
As of December 31, 2023, we had total assets of S/89.6 billion (approximately U.S.$ 24.2 billion), total gross loans of S/48.9 billion (approximately U.S.$ 13.2 billion), total deposits and obligations of S/9.0 billion (approximately U.S.$ 2.4 billion) and shareholders’ equity of S/10.0 billion (approximately U.S.$ 2.7 billion).
Substantially all of our subsidiaries’ operations are conducted in Peru. Accordingly, our results of operations and financial condition are dependent on economic conditions, consumer spending and investment levels in Peru.
Peru has suffered from political instability, with a series of government institutional crises starting in 2018 due to, among other things, several corruption scandals involving prominent political figures, which have resulted in resignations and impeachment of various presidents since then, including most recently former President Jose Pedro Castillo in December 2022 following an attempted coup, as well as investigations of certain members of the judicial system and the public ministry who are now facing prosecution. Despite these factors and continued political corruption scandals, the Peruvian economy continued to outperform
179
its peer countries, supported by solid macroeconomic fundamentals and strong fiscal and monetary policies. At the beginning of 2021, Peru continued to struggle from the effects of the pandemic but started to recover over time as targeted lockdowns decreased and were eventually lifted and the vaccination program accelerated. The recovery was mainly driven by domestic demand-oriented sectors, improved trade terms, higher private consumption, and the base effect of such improvements as compared to 2020. Nevertheless, such improved economic landscape was negatively affected by the uncertainty that arose in the run up to the presidential and congressional elections that took place in April 2021. These political events contributed to a slowdown in GDP growth, volatility of the exchange rate and weakening of the local currency, which in turn also affected inflation. As a result of these factors, the Peruvian GDP grew 13.6% in 2021.
In 2022, Peru had an economic deceleration due political uncertainty and social unrest. This outlook affected directly the mining, tourism and agricultural sectors. As a consequence, inflation remained at 8.5% as of December 2022. To curb inflation, the Central Bank tightened its monetary policy by elevating the reference policy rate to 7.50% as of December 2022. As a result of these factors, the Peruvian GDP grew 2.7% in 2022.
In 2023, the Peruvian GDP declined 0.6%, amidst social unrest, prolonged inflation, and the climate phenomenon known as “Yaku” that occurred during the first quarter. Furthermore, responding to these challenges, and with inflation under control, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru initiated a series of rate reductions in the latter half of the year, culminating in a reference interest rate decrease to 6.75% by December 31, 2023.
The following are the most important trends, uncertainties and events that are reasonably likely to affect us or that would cause the financial information disclosed herein not to be indicative of or have a material adverse effect on our future operating results or financial condition:
| • | Our businesses and prospects rely on a market-oriented economy, and the protests and social unrest in Peru against government economic policies and social inequality, as well as potential political changes may alter the current economic model and business environment. |
| • | Our subsidiaries are subject to extensive regulation and supervision, and changes in existing regulations or the implementation of future regulations. |
| • | The adoption of new international banking and insurance guidelines may cause our subsidiaries to require additional capital and could cause their cost of funds to increase. |
| • | Intense competition from other banking, insurance and financial institutions, and from other players including providers of emerging financial technologies. |
| • | Financial market volatility and market turmoil associated with the failure of two U.S. banks and the emergency sale of Credit Suisse or similar developments in the financial industry. |
| • | Our loans, deposits, asset quality and our profits have all experienced substantial growth, benefitting from growth in the Peruvian economy. However, economic, social and political developments in Peru, including political instability, high profile corruption investigations, inflation and unemployment may cease to support our historically strong growth. |
| • | Our capital and funding requirements as well as our client activity and our clients’ ability to repay loans could be affected by continued adverse developments and market uncertainties relating to climate phenomena and social unrest in Peru, which has resulted in unexpected volatility in equity and credit markets. |

| B. | Related Party Transactions |
In the ordinary course of business, we and our subsidiaries, Interbank, Interseguro, Inteligo and Izipay, engage in a variety of transactions among ourselves and with certain of our affiliates and related parties. All material transactions between us or our subsidiaries and our other affiliates or related parties are evaluated by our senior management and our board in accordance with specific regulations and internal rules applicable to all third-party transactions. These transactions are subject to prevailing market conditions and transfer pricing regulations.
Interbank extends loans to related parties, including its executive officers and directors and executive officers and directors of our affiliates, in accordance with Peruvian law and regulations established by the SBS. According to the SBS, loans to related parties cannot be made on more favorable terms than those offered to the public, with the exception of mortgage loans granted to workers for housing purposes. As a result, all related-party loans have been made in the ordinary course of business, on an arm’s-length basis and on substantially the same terms, including with respect to interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions offered to the public. In addition, related-party loans do not involve greater collection risk nor present other features unfavorable to Interbank as compared to loans offered to the public.
Peruvian law and SBS regulations also set forth limitations on the amount of credit loans that may be extended to related parties based on Article 201 and Article 202 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law. The law establishes that the total amount of loans to be extended to directors, employees and close relatives of any such persons may not exceed 7.0% of the bank’s regulatory capital. All loans extended to any director or employee of the company (including close relatives of such person) may not exceed 0.35% of the regulatory capital (i.e., 5.0% of the overall 7.0% limit discussed above) per each person, including such person’s spouse and relatives.
In addition, under Article 202 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, no loans extended to related parties or affiliates may exceed 30.0% of a bank’s regulatory capital. Under these laws, related-party borrowers include any corporation holding, directly or indirectly, 4.0% or more of a bank’s shares, such bank’s directors, certain of its principal executive officers or other persons affiliated with such bank’s management or any individual or entity that is deemed to have a significant influence in its operations.
Peruvian regulations also set forth limits on the investments of insurance companies with any member of its economic group. Pursuant to SBS regulations, the aggregate amount of investments that Interseguro may have with any member of its economic group cannot exceed 7.0% of its technical obligations, being that any excess will be considered as non-eligible investment.
Furthermore, under Peruvian law, board members and executive officers of Interbank and Interseguro, may not (i) receive loans (in money or goods) from the company unless approved by the board of directors, (ii) use for their own benefit, the company’s assets, services or credits unless approved by the board of directors, (iii) disclose or use, inappropriately, for their own benefit, privileged information, and (iv) participate in any corporate decision that presents a conflict of interest with the company. In all cases, the execution of agreements that involve at least 5.0% of the assets of the company with persons or entities related to directors, managers or shareholders that own, directly or indirectly, more than 10.0% of the share capital requires the prior authorization of the board of directors (with no participation of the director(s) involved in the transaction, if any). In addition, the execution of agreements with a party controlled by the company’s controlling shareholder requires the prior authorization of the board of directors and an evaluation of the terms of the transaction by an external independent company (audit companies or other evaluator to be determined by the SMV).
During 2023, 2022 and 2021, IFS’s directors, officers and key management had been involved, directly and indirectly, in credit transactions with certain subsidiaries of IFS, as permitted by applicable Peruvian laws and regulations that regulate and limit certain transactions with employees, directors and officers of financial entities.

Legal Proceedings
IFS is not involved in any legal or arbitration proceedings which could have a material adverse effect on its financial position.
Interbank is involved in a number of legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its banking activities. Interbank is also a party to a number of legal proceedings related to labor disputes with former employees and tax disputes with the tax authority. For more information on the tax disputes, see Note 17 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 20-F.
Interseguro is routinely involved in legal or arbitration proceedings with respect to liabilities that are the subject of policy claims. These liabilities are taken into account in setting Interseguro’s technical reserves.
PMP and Izipay are involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of their business, however none of those are material.
Inteligo Bank is involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its banking operations.
The two main lawsuits that Inteligo Bank is a party to jointly seek the return of approximately U.S.$8.4 million in redemption payments received by Inteligo Bank in connection with investments in Fairfield, a Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC (“BLMIS”) feeder fund, are the following:
A lawsuit filed on September 2, 2010 by the liquidators of Fairfield Sentry Limited (“Fairfield”), which has since been dismissed by the Bankruptcy Court. The Southern District Court of New York upheld the Bankruptcy Court’s dismissal of the liquidator’s complaint against Inteligo Bank and several other defendants. The liquidator appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and Inteligo Bank’s case has been consolidated with similar cases involving other defendants on appeal. As a result, the Second Circuit’s consideration of Inteligo Bank’s appeal has been delayed while a new related appeal was briefed. All briefing was completed on November 17, 2023, and the Second Circuit will likely hear oral argument in early 2024.The liquidator appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and submitted its briefs on January 6, 2023. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has not ruled on the appeal.
A lawsuit filed on October 6, 2011 by Irving Picard, the Trustee for BLMIS. On December 9, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York denied Inteligo Bank’s motion to dismiss the complaint. On December 15, 2022, an amended version of its memorandum decision was issued rejecting the motion, consistent with the court’s prior rejections of similar motions made by other defendants. On February 10, 2023, Inteligo Bank filed its answer to the complaint. On September 25, 2023, the Court approved a case management plan, and the parties have begun exchanging documents and information as part of the discovery process. Discovery is currently scheduled to end in December 2025. After the close of discovery, the parties will agree with the Court upon a schedule for filing dispositive motions and, if necessary, a trial.
Dividends and Dividends Policy
We are a holding company and, as such, our ability to pay dividends is subject to the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to us.
Our annual dividend is proposed by our board of directors and approved at our annual ordinary meeting of shareholders, in accordance with our dividend policy which for year 2023 consists of distributing to shareholders at least 20% of any profit earned for the relevant year, subject to regulatory capitalization requirements and our financial condition. Dividends are paid to shareholders who held common shares as of the record date preceding the date set for payment of the dividend. The shares go ex-dividend two business days prior to the record date. Dividends are declared and paid in U.S. dollars.
IFS’ ordinary dividends for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were U.S.$115.4 million (S/427.4 million), U.S.$136.2 million (S/511.8 million) and U.S.$202.0 million (S/751.5 million). Furthermore, in November 2021, IFS agreed to distribute U.S.$75.0 million in extraordinary dividends, which were paid in December 2021 and based on retained earnings. Dividends corresponding to fiscal year 2024 will be paid in late April of 2024; while dividends for fiscal years 2022 and 2021 were paid in May of each of 2023 and 2022, respectively. Dividend per share amounted to U.S.$1.00, U.S.$1.18 and U.S.$1.75 for fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Interbank
Interbank’s dividends are proposed annually by its board of directors and are subject to approval by the general shareholders’ meeting. On November 10, 2020, the shareholder’s meeting amended the dividend policy as follows: At least 20% of
202
the distributable profits of Interbank recorded in the fiscal year will be distributed among the shareholders, provided that the following rules are observed: (a) the profit capitalization commitment agreements adopted by the general shareholders’ meeting or by the board of directors (as delegated by the shareholders’ meeting), are not affected, (b) both the legal requirements applicable to Interbank and its appetite for equity growth are satisfied, in accordance with the board of directors’ proposal, and (c) the board of directors deems such distribution to be advisable based on the economic and financial conditions of Interbank and the business environment. In accordance with the foregoing, if during any year any of the aforementioned rules is not satisfied, the general shareholders’ meeting may agree to distribute a lower percentage of dividends than indicated or decide not to distribute dividends for such year. Any dividends would be distributed within sixty calendar days following their declaration and approval at the general shareholders’ meeting. For the fiscal year ended 2023, Interbank declared as dividends approximately 50% of its distributable income (net income minus the required legal reserves which may be up to 10% of net profit). For the fiscal year ended 2022, Interbank declared as dividends approximately 56% of its distributable income (net income minus the required legal reserves which may be up to 10% of net profit). For the fiscal year ended 2021, Interbank declared and distributed as dividends approximately 56% of its distributable income (net income minus the required legal reserves which may be up to 10% of net profit).
Dividends are declared based on Interbank’s financial statements prepared under SBS GAAP. The following table shows Interbank’s distribution of net profit for the three fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 under SBS GAAP.

Trading in the Peruvian Securities Market
Lima Stock Exchange
As of December 31, 2023, there were 249 companies listed on the Lima Stock Exchange. Established in 1970, the Lima Stock Exchange is Peru’s only securities exchange.
Trading on the Lima Stock Exchange is primarily done on an electronic trading system that became operational in August 1995. From the first Sunday of November through the second Sunday of March of each year, trading hours are Monday
204
through Friday (except holidays) as follows: 9:00 a.m.–9:30 a.m. (pre-market ordering); 9:30 a.m.–3:52 p.m. (trading); 3:52 p.m.–4:00 p.m. (after-market sales); and 4:02 p.m.–4:10 p.m. (after-market trading). At all other times, trading hours are from Monday to Friday (except holidays) as follows: 8:20 a.m.-8:30 a.m. (pre-market ordering); 8:30 a.m.–2:52 p.m. (trading); 2:52 p.m.–3:00 p.m. (after-market sales); and 3:02 p.m.–3:10 p.m. (after-market trading).
Substantially all of the transactions on the Lima Stock Exchange are traded on the electronic system. Transactions during the electronic sessions are executed through brokerage firms and stockbrokers on behalf of their clients. The orders must specify the type of security as well as the amount and price of the proposed sale or purchase. The exchange is authorized to halt the trading of certain securities or the whole market, under certain circumstances, for example, when a significant fluctuation occurs with the price of a security, without apparent justification. In this case, the exchange may impose a 15 minutes halt, which may be extended depending on the nature of the event.
Moreover, under the exchange’s market margin rule, when the market price for a particular security reaches a 15% variation (vis a vis the last closing price or proposal, whichever is higher), trading on that particular security is halted for the rest of the session. The exchange may exceptionally authorize further negotiation. The market margin rule is not applicable for securities cross-listed in certain markets, including the United States.

The following is a brief summary of our current material contracts. A copy of each of these contracts has been included as exhibit hereto. See “Item 19. Exhibits.”
205
Irrevocable Proxy Agreement
IFH, representing 77.3% of the voting rights to appoint the majority of the members of the board of directors of Intercorp Peru, has entered into an irrevocable proxy agreement on June 12, 2019 (the “Irrevocable Proxy Agreement”) appointing Carlos Tomás Rodriguez-Pastor Persivale and two members of his family (the “Agents”) as IFH’s agents, acting by majority vote, with respect to any matters relating to IFH’s ownership interest in Intercorp Peru. The initial period of the Irrevocable Proxy Agreement was two years commencing in June 2019 automatically renewable for six-month periods unless otherwise terminated upon 90 days’ notice. On May 20, 2021, the Irrevocable Proxy was renewed and ratified with effectiveness as of June 12, 2021 under the same terms originally agreed, including automatic renewals for six-month periods unless otherwise terminated upon 90 days’ notice. On May 23, 2023, the Irrevocable Proxy was renewed and ratified with effectiveness as of June 12, 2023 under the same terms originally agreed, including automatic renewals for six-month periods unless otherwise terminated upon 90 days’ notice. The renewed Irrevocable Proxy is valid for a two-year period counted from June 12, 2023. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, the Irrevocable Proxy Agreement had not been terminated. “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions—Major Shareholders.”
IFS Indenture
On October 19, 2017 we entered into an indenture among us, The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, and The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Luxembourg Branch, as Luxembourg transfer and paying agent in connection with the issuance of U.S.$300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.125% senior notes due 2027. The use of proceeds was to fund the acquisition of 100% of the capital stock of Seguros Sura S.A. and Hipotecaria Sura Empresa Administradora Hipotecaria S.A. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
| D. | Exchange Controls |
The Peruvian sol is freely traded in the exchange market. Current Peruvian regulations on foreign investment allow foreign equity holders of Peruvian companies to receive and repatriate 100% of the cash dividends distributed by these companies, except for restrictions applicable to companies that have been convicted or have admitted to and/or acknowledged committing crimes against the Peruvian public administration or money laundering or committing equivalent crimes, as set forth in Law No. 30737 (A law that ensures the immediate payment of the compensation to the State in cases of corruption and other crimes), which restricts the transfer of both local and foreign currency abroad. Non-Peruvian equity holders are allowed to purchase foreign currency at free market currency rates through any member of the Peruvian banking system and transfer such foreign currency outside Peru without restriction. Peruvian law in the past, however, has imposed restrictions on the conversion of Peruvian currency and the transfer of funds abroad, and we cannot assure holders of our common shares that Peruvian law will continue to permit such payments, transfers, conversions or remittances without restrictions. In addition, under Panamanian law, there are currently no exchange control restrictions imposed on payments made in U.S. dollars. There can be no assurance, however, that Peruvian and Panamanian laws will continue to permit such payments, transfers, conversions or remittances without restrictions.
| E. | Taxation |
The following discussion summarizes the material Peruvian, U.S. federal and Panamanian income tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of our shares.
This discussion is not a comprehensive discussion of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase our shares and is not applicable to all categories of investors, some of which may be subject to special rules, and does not specifically address all of the Peruvian, U.S. federal and Panamanian income tax considerations applicable to any particular holder. It is based upon the tax laws of Peru, the United States and Panama as in effect on the date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, and to differing interpretations. Holders of our common shares are urged to consult its independent tax advisor about the particular Peruvian, U.S. federal and Panamanian income tax consequences to it of an investment in our shares.
Peruvian Tax Considerations
The following summary of certain Peruvian tax matters as in force on the date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F describes the principal tax consequences of an investment in our common shares or the beneficial interest therein by non-Peruvian shareholders. This summary is not intended to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to make an investment in our common shares or the beneficial interest therein. In addition, it does not describe any tax consequences: (a) arising under the laws of any taxing jurisdiction other than Peru or (b) applicable to anyone different from a non-Peruvian shareholder.
206
For purposes of this section, “non-Peruvian shareholder” means either: (i) a legal entity which has neither been incorporated nor established in Peru, provided that it does not conduct any trade or business through a permanent establishment in Peru or holds our shares or the beneficial interest therein through a Peruvian branch or (ii) an individual who is not a Peruvian tax resident. For Peruvian tax purposes, an individual is deemed to be a Peruvian tax resident if such individual is (a) a Peruvian citizen who has a regular residence in Peru, or (b) a non-Peruvian citizen who has resided or remained in Peru for more than 183 calendar days during any 12-month period. Any change in the residency condition will be effective as of January 1 of the following calendar year in which such conditions are met.
The discussion in this summary is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used or relied upon by any person, for the purpose of avoiding Peruvian taxation, and was written to support the promotion or marketing of this offering. Holders of our common shares should consult an independent tax advisor with respect to the Peruvian tax consequences of participating.
Peruvian Income Tax
Payment of Dividends
Dividends paid by legal entities incorporated in Peru are subject to a Peruvian withholding tax at a 5% rate. Our Peruvian subsidiaries are required to act as withholding agents for any income tax due with respect to dividends on their shares. We have not agreed to assume the withholding payments nor pay additional amounts so that the non-Peruvian shareholder of our common shares or the beneficial interest therein receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.
We are a company incorporated under the laws of Panama, accordingly, dividends paid on our common shares will not be subject to a Peruvian withholding.
Sale of our common shares
As a general rule, under the current Peruvian income tax laws and regulations, proceeds received by a non-Peruvian shareholder on the sale, exchange or disposition of our common shares will not be subject to any Peruvian withholding or capital gains tax, since our common shares are deemed to be issued by a legal entity not incorporated in Peru.
However, capital gains accrued and received by a non-Peruvian shareholder on the sale, exchange or disposition of our common shares will be subject to Peruvian income tax at a 30% rate if such transaction consists of an indirect transfer of shares issued by a Peruvian entity (“Peruvian shares”). An indirect transfer of Peruvian shares takes place in the transfer of the shares of a non-Peruvian entity that owns, directly or indirectly, shares of a Peruvian company provided that the following conditions are met:
| (i) | the fair market value of the Peruvian shares, whether owned directly or indirectly by the foreign parent company, is equal to 50% or more of the fair market value of the capital stock issued by the foreign parent entity at any time during the 12-month period prior to the transfer; and, |
| (ii) | in any 12-month period, 10% or more of the shares issued by the foreign parent company are transferred. |
Applicable regulations provide specific rules to determine the fair market value and cost of the shares and the capital stock issued by the foreign parent entity.
There is a rebuttable presumption that both conditions are met if the foreign parent company whose shares are transferred resides in a low-tax, zero-tax or un-cooperative jurisdiction pursuant to Peruvian legislation.
An indirect transfer of Peruvian shares also takes place in the transfer of the shares of a non-Peruvian entity that owns, directly or indirectly, shares of a Peruvian company provided the aggregate amount of the Peruvian shares being indirectly transferred by the transferor and its related parties in any 12-month period reaches or exceeds 40,000 Tax Units (for fiscal year 2022, one Tax Unit equals S/4,600, for the fiscal year 2023, it is equal to S/4,950, and for the fiscal year 2024, it is equal to S/5,150). This rule applies irrespective if conditions (i) and (ii) abovementioned are not met.
A 5% preferential rate would be applicable on capital gains if (i) such shares are registered with the SMV; and (ii) such sale is performed through trading sessions (rueda de bolsa) of the Lima Stock Exchange.
A further tax exemption was applicable on capital gains obtained by individuals, either Peruvian or non-Peruvian, during 2023 provided (i) such shares were registered with the SMV; (ii) such sale was performed through trading sessions (rueda de bolsa) of the Lima Stock Exchange, (iii) such shares had a stock market presence as of the transfer date (ensuring share liquidity and continuous price quotations); and (iv) the transferor and its related parties had not transferred 10% or more of the aggregate shares issued by the foreign parent company in any 12-month period. This tax exemption applied to all capital gains accrued and received
207
during the year meeting conditions (i) to (iv) abovementioned, regardless of their connection to the transaction, but it was limited to an annual aggregate amount of 100 Tax Units (for the fiscal year 2023, one Tax Unit equaled S/4,950). Therefore, once the capital gains accrued and received during the year meeting conditions (i) to (iv) abovementioned exceed 100 Tax Units, the excess was subject to the 5% preferential rate. Applicable regulations set forth how the 100 Tax Units available to the transferor were applied when having multiple sales during the year, either involving the same shares, other shares or even other securities. This tax exemption expired on December 31, 2023, and no extension has been issued for the fiscal year of 2024.
Value added tax
Dividends resulting from the shares issued by our Peruvian subsidiaries are not subject to Peruvian Value Added Tax (Impuesto General a las Ventas, or “VAT”).
The sale, exchange or disposition of shares issued by our Peruvian subsidiaries is not subject to VAT.
Financial Transaction Tax
Deposits in and withdrawals from accounts held in Peruvian banks or other financial institutions, whether in soles or foreign currency, are levied with a financial transactions tax (“FTT”) at a 0.005% rate. Therefore, FTT will be levied on the price paid for and the dividends resulting from the shares issued by our Peruvian subsidiaries if deposited in or withdrawn from a Peruvian bank or other financial institution, as the case may be.
United States Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following discussion is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of our common shares. Except where otherwise noted, this discussion applies only to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of our common shares that hold such shares as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment). This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “U.S. Code”), its legislative history, existing final, temporary and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative pronouncements by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and judicial decisions, all as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change (possibly on a retroactive basis) and to different interpretations.
This discussion does not purport to address all U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a particular holder and holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding their specific tax situations. The discussion does not address the tax consequences that may be relevant to holders subject to special tax rules, including, for example:
| • | insurance companies; |
| • | tax-exempt organizations; |
| • | dealers in securities or currencies; |
| • | traders in securities that elect the mark to market method of accounting with respect to their securities holdings; |
| • | banks or other financial institutions; |
| • | partnerships or other pass-through entities or arrangements for U.S. federal income tax purposes; |
| • | U.S. Holders whose functional currency for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar; |
| • | real estate investment trusts or regulated investment companies; |
| • | persons that, directly or indirectly, hold 10% or more of our stock by vote or value; |
| • | U.S. expatriates; or |
| • | persons for whom the common shares may form part of a hedge, straddle, conversion or other integrated transaction. |
Further, this discussion does not address the U.S. federal estate and gift tax, the alternative minimum tax, or the Medicare tax on net investment income, or any state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of the common shares.
208
As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of the common shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
| • | an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States; |
| • | a corporation, or any other entity taxable as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; |
| • | an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or |
| • | a trust if (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) the trust has a valid election in effect under current U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. |
If a partnership (or any other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds the common shares, the tax treatment of the partnership and a partner in such partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Such partner or partnership should consult its own tax advisor as to its consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of the common shares.
Except where specifically described below, this discussion assumes that we are not a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Please see the discussion under “Item 10. Additional Information—Taxation—United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Passive Foreign Investment Companies” below.
Distributions
Subject to the discussion below under “Item 10. Additional Information—Taxation—United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Passive Foreign Investment Companies,” distributions of cash or property (other than our common shares, if any, distributed pro rata to all of our shareholders) paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) with respect to our common shares, including the net amount of any tax withheld on the distribution, will be includible in gross income as ordinary dividend income on the date the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives the distribution in accordance with such holder’s regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent that the amount of any distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such excess amounts will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in our common shares and, thereafter, as capital gain. We do not intend to maintain calculations of our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles. Unless and until these calculations are made, distributions should be presumed to be taxable dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As used below, the term “dividend” means a distribution that constitutes a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
A dividend paid in a non-U.S. currency will be includible in the gross income of a U.S. Holder in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the day the dividend is received by the U.S. Holder, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted to U.S. dollars. If a dividend paid in a non-U.S. currency is converted into U.S. dollars on the day the dividend is received by the U.S. Holder, the U.S. Holder generally will not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income. Any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date the dividend payment is included in the gross income of a U.S. Holder through the date such non-U.S. currency is converted into U.S. dollars (or otherwise disposed of) generally will be treated as U.S. source ordinary income or loss. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the treatment of foreign currency exchange gain or loss, if any, with respect to non-U.S. currency received by the U.S. Holder which is not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt.
Dividends paid to corporate U.S. Holders with respect to our common shares will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations under the U.S. Code. Dividends received by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders with respect to the common shares will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at preferential rates if the dividends constitute “qualified dividend income” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Dividends paid on the common shares will be treated as qualified dividend income if (i) the common shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, (ii) the U.S. Holder satisfies certain holding period and other requirements and (iii) we were not, in the year prior to the year in which the dividend is paid, and are not, in the year in which the dividend is paid, a PFIC.
Our common shares are listed on the NYSE, and therefore we expect that the common shares should qualify as readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States.
Moreover, as discussed below under “Item 10. Additional Information—Taxation—United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Passive Foreign Investment Companies,” we believe that we will not be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income
209
tax purposes with respect to our 2023 and current taxable years, and we do not anticipate becoming a PFIC in the future. However, there can be no assurance in this regard because the PFIC determination is made annually and is based on the portion of our assets (including goodwill) and income that is characterized as passive under the PFIC rules and our continued qualification for an exception to the PFIC rules for certain foreign banks and insurance companies.
Subject to generally applicable limitations and conditions under the U.S. Code (including a minimum holding period requirement), any non-U.S. income tax withheld from dividends may be treated as a foreign income tax eligible for credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. Dividends paid on our common shares generally will constitute foreign source income, and for purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit, as “passive category income,” for most U.S. Holders. Alternatively, a U.S. Holder may be able to deduct foreign income taxes paid with respect to dividends on our common shares against its taxable income, assuming such U.S. Holder does not take a credit for any foreign income taxes paid or accrued during the taxable year and certain other conditions are met. U.S. Holders should consult their own advisors concerning the implications of these rules in light of their particular circumstances.
Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of our Common Shares
Subject to the discussion below under “Item 10. Additional Information—Taxation—United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Passive Foreign Investment Companies,” gain or loss realized by a U.S. Holder on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common shares generally will be capital gain or loss and generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if our common shares have been held for more than one year. The amount of gain or loss realized will be the difference between (i) the amount realized on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common shares over (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such common shares, in each case determined in U.S. dollars. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in a common share generally will equal the cost of the common share to the U.S. Holder. Long-term capital gain realized by certain U.S. Holders (including individuals) generally is eligible for favorable rates of U.S. federal income tax. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to significant limitations under the U.S. Code.
Any gain or loss realized by a U.S. Holder on a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common shares generally will be treated as U.S. source income or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Subject to certain generally applicable limitations (including a minimum holding period requirement), any Peruvian, Panamanian or other foreign tax withheld with respect to the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common shares may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. These generally applicable restrictions and conditions include new requirements adopted in U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated in December 2021, and subject to the discussion below, there can be no assurance that any taxes imposed by a non-U.S. jurisdiction will satisfy these requirements. A recent notice from the IRS provides temporary relief from such U.S. Treasury regulations by allowing taxpayers to apply a modified version of the U.S. Treasury regulations for taxable years ending before the date that a notice or other guidance withdrawing or modifying the temporary relief is issued (or any later date specified in such notice or other guidance), provided that the taxpayer consistently applies such modified version of the U.S. Treasury regulations and complies with specific requirements set forth in a previous notice. In the case of a U.S. Holder that consistently elects to apply the modified version of the U.S. Treasury regulations in the manner described in the preceding sentence, any foreign tax on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common shares generally will qualify as a creditable tax. In the case of all other U.S. Holders, the application of these requirements to any foreign tax on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common shares is uncertain and we have not determined whether these requirements have been met. If the foreign tax is not a creditable tax for a U.S. Holder or the U.S. Holder does not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for any foreign income taxes, the U.S. Holder may be able to deduct such foreign tax in computing the U.S. Holder’s taxable income for U.S. federal income tax purposes, subject to applicable limitations and requirements. The rules relating to U.S. foreign tax credits are extremely complex and U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the foreign tax credit limitation rules to their investment in, and disposition of, our common shares.
Passive Foreign Investment Companies
U.S. Holders should carefully consider the discussion below regarding our potential treatment as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
In general, if, during any taxable year of a non-U.S. corporation, 75% or more of the corporation’s gross income consists of certain types of “passive income,” or the average value during the taxable year of the “passive assets” of the corporation (generally, assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income) is 50% or more of the average value of all of its assets, the corporation will be classified as a PFIC under U.S. federal income tax law. Passive income for this purpose generally, among other things, includes interest, dividends, royalties, rents and gains from commodities and securities transactions. Certain exceptions are provided, however, for passive income derived in the conduct of an active business.
210
The PFIC provisions also contain a look-through rule under which a non-U.S. corporation shall be treated as if it received directly its proportionate share of the income and as if it held its proportionate share of the assets of any other corporation in which it owns at least 25% of the value of the stock. Under the look-through rule, we should be deemed to own a proportionate share of the assets and to have received a proportionate share of the income of our principal subsidiaries, including Interbank, Interseguro and Inteligo Bank, for purposes of the PFIC determination. As noted below, the assets and income of Interbank, Interseguro and Inteligo Bank are subject to special rules under the PFIC regime. Further, the PFIC test is performed on an annual basis and it is therefore possible that our PFIC status may change from year to year due to changes in income or asset composition.
Assets and Income of Interbank and Inteligo Bank under the PFIC Rules
The application of the PFIC rules to banks is unclear under present U.S. federal income tax law. Banks generally derive a substantial part of their income from assets that are interest-bearing or that otherwise could be considered passive assets under the PFIC rules. The IRS has issued a notice and has proposed U.S. Treasury regulations that exclude from passive income any income derived in the active conduct of a banking business by a qualifying foreign bank (the “active bank exception”). The IRS notice and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations have different requirements for qualifying as a foreign bank, and for determining the banking income that may be excluded from passive income under the active bank exception. Moreover, the proposed U.S. Treasury regulations have been outstanding since 1995 and may not be finalized in their current form. Our PFIC status may be impacted if and when these U.S. Treasury regulations are finalized.
Because final U.S. Treasury regulations have not been issued and because the notice and the proposed U.S. Treasury regulations are inconsistent in certain respects, Interbank’s, Inteligo Bank’s and (as a result) our status under the PFIC rules is subject to uncertainty. While Interbank and Inteligo Bank conduct, and intend to continue to conduct, a significant banking business, there can be no assurance that they will satisfy the specific requirements for the active bank exception under either the IRS notice or the proposed U.S. Treasury regulations. It is therefore possible that a significant portion of the assets and income of Interbank or Inteligo Bank may be treated as passive.
Assets and Income of Interseguro under the PFIC Rules
While passive income generally includes interest, dividends, annuities and other investment income, the PFIC rules provide that income “derived in the active conduct of an insurance business by a qualifying insurance corporation” is not treated as passive income. A qualifying insurance corporation is a foreign corporation (i) which would be taxable as an insurance company if it were a U.S. corporation and (ii) the applicable insurance liabilities of which constitute more than 25% of its total assets, as determined for financial reporting purposes. Additionally, if a corporation meets the first prong of this test, but not the second, a U.S. Holder can still elect to treat the corporation as a qualifying insurance company if at least 10% of its assets are applicable insurance liabilities and it meets certain alternative facts and circumstances tests. Under these tests, the corporation must be predominantly engaged in an insurance business and the failure to meet the 25% test described above must be due solely to run-off related or rating-related circumstances involving such insurance business. Proposed U.S. Treasury regulations were issued in 2019 that provide guidance about the definitions of “active conduct” and “insurance business.” The proposed regulations were withdrawn in part and subsequent U.S. Treasury regulations were proposed in 2020 that provide explanation of the active insurance income exception as modified under changes to the U.S. Code as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. We expect, for purposes of the PFIC rules, that Interseguro will meet the requirements to be considered a qualifying insurance corporation. No assurance can be provided, however, that changes in Interseguro’s business operations or in the application of U.S. federal income tax law, including the finalization of the proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, will not affect the ability of Interseguro to qualify for the active insurance income exception.
Consequences of PFIC Status
Although the matter is not free from doubt, based on our current expectations regarding our subsidiaries meeting the PFIC exceptions discussed above, the value and nature of the assets of our subsidiaries, the sources and nature of the income of our subsidiaries, relevant market and shareholder data and our current business plans, we believe that we will not be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to our 2023 and current taxable years and we do not anticipate becoming a PFIC in the future. If we are classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our common shares, such a U.S. Holder would be subject to special rules (and may be subject to increased tax liability) with respect to (a) any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of our common shares, and (b) any “excess distribution” made by us to the U.S. Holder (generally, any distribution during a taxable year in which distributions to the U.S. Holder on our common shares exceed 125% of the average annual distributions the U.S. Holder received on the shares during the preceding three taxable years or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares). Under those rules, (a) the gain or excess distribution would be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for our common shares, (b) the amount allocated to the taxable year in which the gain or excess distribution is realized and to taxable years before the first year in which we became a PFIC would be taxable as ordinary income, (c) the amount allocated to each prior year in which we were a PFIC would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and (d) the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of U.S. federal income tax would be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each prior year in which we were a PFIC. In addition, in the event that we are classified as a PFIC, similar rules would apply to “excess distributions” or gains with respect to subsidiary PFICs held directly or indirectly by us (“Lower-tier PFICs”), even if the proceeds are not distributed to our shareholders. A U.S. Holder generally will be required to file IRS Form 8621 if it holds our common shares in any year in which we are classified as a PFIC.
211
A U.S. Holder may be able to mitigate these tax consequences by electing mark to market treatment for its common shares, provided the relevant shares constitute “marketable stock” as defined in U.S. Treasury regulations. Our shares will be “marketable stock” if they are “regularly traded” on a “qualified exchange or other market” within the meaning of the U.S. Treasury regulations. Our common shares are listed on the NYSE, and therefore we expect that our common shares should qualify as regularly traded on a qualified exchange or other market. No assurance can be given, however, that our common shares will be considered regularly traded on a qualified exchange or other market. A U.S. Holder electing the mark to market regime generally would, during any year in which we are treated as a PFIC, compute gain or loss at the end of such year as if the shares had been sold at fair value. Any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder under the mark to market election, including on an actual sale, would be treated as ordinary income, and the U.S. Holder would be allowed an ordinary deduction for any decrease in the value of shares as of the end of any taxable year and for any loss recognized on an actual sale, but only to the extent, in each case, of previously included mark to market income not offset by previously deducted decreases in value. Any loss on an actual sale of shares would be a capital loss to the extent in excess of previously included mark to market income not offset by previously deducted decreases in value. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in shares would increase or decrease by gain or loss taken into account under the mark to market regime.
A mark to market election under the PFIC rules applies to all future years of an electing U.S. Holder during which the shares are regularly traded on a qualifying exchange or other market, unless revoked with the IRS’s consent. A mark to market election under the PFIC rules with respect to shares would not apply to a Lower-tier PFIC, and a U.S. Holder would not be able to make such a mark to market election in respect of its indirect ownership interest in that Lower-tier PFIC. Consequently, U.S. Holders of shares could be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to income of the Lower-Tier PFIC the value of which already had been taken into account indirectly via mark to market adjustments.
A U.S. Holder may in certain circumstances mitigate the adverse tax consequences of the PFIC rules by filing an election to treat the PFIC as a qualified electing fund (“QEF”). However, in the event that we are or become a PFIC, we do not intend to comply with the reporting requirements necessary to permit U.S. Holders to elect to treat us as a QEF.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
Dividends paid on, and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, our common shares that are paid to a U.S. Holder generally will be subject to the information reporting requirements of the U.S. Code and may be subject to backup withholding unless the U.S. Holder provides an accurate taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification or otherwise establishes an exemption. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
In addition, U.S. Holders may be required to comply with certain reporting requirements, including filing an IRS Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets, with respect to the holding of certain foreign financial assets, including stock of foreign issuers, either directly or through certain foreign financial institutions, if the aggregate value of all such assets exceeds U.S.$50,000. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the information reporting rules to our common shares and the application of these reporting requirements to their particular situations.
HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON SHARES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON SHARES, INCLUDING, IN PARTICULAR, THE EFFECT OF ANY NON-U.S. STATE OR LOCAL TAX LAWS.
Panamanian Taxation
The following is a summary of the principal Panamanian income tax consequences resulting from the beneficial ownership and disposition of our common shares by certain persons. This summary is based on the Panamanian Tax Code of 1956, as amended, other applicable tax laws, decrees and regulations issued thereunder, and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, all as in effect on the date hereof, and is subject to any changes in these or other laws, decrees, regulations and interpretations occurring after such date, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary is intended as a descriptive summary only and is not a complete analysis or listing of all potential Panamanian income tax consequences to purchasers of our common shares. The summary does not address the tax treatment of potential purchasers that may be subject to special income tax and withholding rules. The summary is not intended as tax advice to any particular person, nor does it purport to furnish information on the level of detail or with attention to a purchaser’s specific tax circumstances that would be provided by a purchaser’s own tax advisor. Holders of our common shares are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the precise Panamanian and other tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of our common shares.
212
Panamanian Income Tax Structure
Panama’s income tax regime is essentially territorial. Consequently, income tax is levied only upon income or gains derived from income deemed to arise from Panamanian sources, while income not deemed to be Panamanian source income is not subject to Panamanian income taxes.
Taxation of Dividends
In light of the above, dividend income is not subject to income tax in Panama if the profits to which the dividends relate are not Panamanian source income. Moreover, further distributions of dividend income received by the direct shareholders of a Panamanian company to such direct shareholders’ own shareholders are not subject to income tax in Panama. Accordingly, because we are a holding company that does not perform income generating activities in Panama and our income is generated exclusively from activities outside of Panama, dividend payments made with respect to our common shares would not be subject to income tax or withholding requirements in Panama.
The offering and sale of our common shares and the use of proceeds therefrom herein described will all take place outside of Panama, and we do not intend to place, invest or economically utilize in Panama the proceeds that we will receive upon the issuance and sale of our common shares, or to conduct business activities in Panama.
Taxation of Capital Gains
Under the tax principles set forth above, because we generate income only from foreign or non-Panamanian sources, any capital gains realized by a holder of our common shares on the sale or other disposition thereof will be exempt from income or capital gains tax in Panama.
Stamp and Other Taxes
Because we are a holding company that does not perform income generating activities in Panama and our income is generated exclusively from activities outside of Panama, our common shares, and any document containing an agreement providing for the sale or disposition thereof, are not subject to stamp, registration or similar taxes, unless the respective documents shall be used before the courts or administrative authorities of Panama, in which case the stamp tax shall be paid at that time at a rate of U.S.$0.10 for each U.S.$100.00 or fraction of U.S.$100.00 of the face value of the obligations stated therein.
In light of the above, there are no sales, transfer or inheritance taxes in Panama applicable to the sale or disposition of our common shares.
Foreign Investors
Because the gains realized on the sale and disposition of our common shares are not subject to income tax in Panama as indicated above, a person domiciled outside of Panama is not required to file an income tax return in Panama solely by reason of his or her purchase or ownership of our common shares.

RISK MANAGEMENT
Our goal is to attain sustainable long-term growth, through a balance between risk policies and profitability. As a result, our senior management places great emphasis on risk management.
To manage the risks described below, we have a specialized risk management structure, measurement systems and mitigation and remediation processes in place for each of our business segments. We incorporate analytics into our decision-making process and make use of tools and methodologies that allow us to identify and manage risk efficiently.
Banking Segment
Main Types of Risks
The main types of risk inherent in Interbank’s businesses are credit, market, liquidity and operational risk.
| • | Credit risk: probability of loss due to inability or lack of willingness to pay by debtors, counterparts or third parties bound by contractual obligations. |
| • | Market risk: probability of loss in positions on and off-balance sheets derived from variations in market conditions. It generally includes the following risk types: exchange rates, interest rates and prices. |
| • | Liquidity risk: potential inability to meet contractual and contingent obligations, both on- or off-balance sheet, as they come due. |
| • | Operational risk: probability of loss due to inadequate processes, personnel and information technology failures, or external events. |
To manage the above risks, Interbank has a specialized risk management structure, measurement systems and mitigation and remediation processes. It uses different models and rating tools at the client or product level to manage risks. These tools measure and value the risk with a prospective vision, thus allowing the organization to make better risk decisions in the different stages or life cycle of each loan.
These tools are continuously monitored and periodically validated to ensure that appropriate levels of prediction and performance are being maintained and to take corrective action or adjust to the models when needed.
The risk management indicators are continuously reviewed and assessed to identify possible deviations in risk profile with respect to the established risk appetite and apply timely corrective actions as needed. This information is submitted to the Risk Management Committee monthly and to the board of directors periodically.
Credit Risk
The main risk Interbank must manage is credit risk. To mitigate exposure to credit risk and provide adequate risk coverage, Interbank has established the following measures, among others:
| • | policies, procedures, methodologies, models, parameters and expert judgement to identify, measure, control and report credit risk; |
| • | review and assessment of credit risk through specialized units of risk screening, which are independent from Interbank’s Commercial Division, and which assess credit risk prior to loan approvals or prior to the acquisition of specific investments; |
| • | timely monitoring and tracking of credit risk and maintenance of pre-defined tolerance levels; |
| • | compliance with regulatory limits and establishment of internal limits to minimize exposure to debtors and counterparties, such as those related to sector concentration (for loans), by issuer, credit rating and liquidity; |
| • | procedures for the management of loan guarantees. |
Interbank also uses different models and rating tools for each type of client and/or product. Interbank constantly monitors and reviews these tools to ensure that adequate levels of prediction and performance are maintained and if necessary, to adjust or take corrective measures.
215
Through its policies and procedures, Interbank establishes the patterns and mechanisms needed to prevent excessive risk concentration and maintain a diversified portfolio.
Interbank manages its credit risk by means of three main processes: underwriting, monitoring and recovery. These processes are applied accordingly in different business lines.
The underwriting process is fundamentally based on comprehensive knowledge of the client and their economic activity and evaluating their repayment capacity, solvency and credit history. This process uses risk management methodologies and tools, which measures and assesses the quality of the risk to be granted, based on models and automatic rating systems for the admission of credits.
The monitoring process is used for early detection of credit risk to identify clients with potential risks that would affect their ability to pay which can possibly impact the debtor’s credit development. This process uses an integrated system of alerts, which is used to determine whether immediate actions need to be taken.
Actions include preventative, corrective or follow-up measures. This process utilizes systems, models and guidelines to assess the evolution of the debtor’s detected risks and determine their management for standardization or collection.
The recovery process is carried out through a set of coordinated actions for the appropriate and timely recovery of the loans, which aim to minimize losses in exposures with a high credit risk.

Credit approval is determined by the applicant’s repayment ability, which is defined primarily by their cash flow and credit history. The decision whether or not to approve an extension of credit takes into account the applicant’s economic environment, its ability to meet its obligations, collateral, management and the credit ratings assigned to the applicant by other companies of the financial system.
To rate credit risk within the commercial portfolio, Interbank uses a credit risk management system, the Statistical Rating System. This system measures credit risk by classifying companies based on their expected default probability, without considering the facility’s amount, loan conditions or collateral. The Statistical Rating System is supported by a statistical model that predicts default probability from historical default data, based on the company’s qualitative information, financial performance and internal and external credit behavior. Currently, the system is designed to rate companies from our commercial banking business line with at least S/3.0 million in annual sales.
For government entities or project finance, Interbank uses the Weighted Rating System. This methodology considers six different areas: (1) product, demand and industry; (2) shareholders and management; (3) access to credit; (4) profitability; (5) generation of resources; and (6) solvency. The final rating is the weighted sum of these areas.
In the case of financial institutions, Interbank uses an Expert Judgment Analysis Methodology. This methodology considers aspects such as shareholders, management, profitability, solvency, risk rating information, etc.
The Watchlist System monitors clients that have risk potential that needs to be addressed. Based on internal and external alerts, historical financial data and client behavior and market conditions, clients are classified into one of four categories: (1) surveillance; (2) guarantee (increase collateral), (3) reduce exposure and (4) exit or collect.
The Non-Performing Assets Monitoring System monitors the status of non-performing loans and defines categories and related strategies. This system allows Interbank to evaluate which companies are overdue and are struggling to pay their loans and focus recovery efforts on those loans. The recovery portfolio is divided into rescheduled and refinanced credit, judicial recoveries and restructured credit.
Credit risk management includes strategies related to proper recovery of defaulted loans. Depending on whether the recovery strategy is based upon the client’s cash flow or collateral foreclosure, loans are assigned to the recovery division. This division has two units, special credit and judicial recovery. Judicial recovery may include the sale of recovered or foreclosed assets, which are managed by the asset sales unit that oversees selling these assets.

In small business banking, credit approval is determined by the applicant’s credit history and repayment ability, which is in turn determined primarily by the applicant’s cash flow and credit history. Approvals of loans depend on the applicant’s economic conditions, its ability to meet its obligations, collateral, management and the credit ratings assigned by a scoring system applied to new and current clients.
An independent unit is responsible for ensuring proper compliance with risk policies, the methodologies applied in the evaluation of creditors and the performance of scoring models and ensuring that the quality of the portfolio does not exceed risk limits.
Interbank has developed specific risk management tools to respond efficiently to new schemes and constraints that arise in the market for small business banking. Interbank refers to these tools as the Small Business Banking Management and Monitoring Process, which consist of:
| • | Scoring Small Banking Enterprises: is an analysis tool in the credit evaluation process aimed at reducing risk rates and process times and assigning a score to the credit proposal evaluated. |
| • | Indebted Customers Methodology Small Business Banking: identifies customers who have high leverage exposure. |
| • | Field Audit and Monitoring: is used to assess quality by selecting samples of credit loans granted and poor performing portfolios and reviewing supporting documentation, with a final risk report presentation. |
During collection of early stage (1-90 days), Interbank uses collection scores that allow Interbank to define the collection strategy: phone collection, text message collection, mail or personal collection.
Recovery in small business banking occurs in two phases. Early collection is based on and supported by admission risk officers for the first 90 days. During this time, a customer in default is contacted and recovery efforts are made in the form of letters, telephone calls and direct negotiations. After the first 90 days, the defaulted loan is transferred to the Recovery Unit.
Retail Banking

The approval process in retail banking is supported by world class tools, a workflow that includes a parameterized decision-making system, including risk policies and limits, as well as statistical models for all main retail banking products: credit cards, payroll deduction loans, mortgages and consumer loans.
In retail banking, credit approval is determined by the applicant’s repayment ability, credit history and risk profile. An independent unit is responsible for monitoring the performance of the customer’s portfolio, identifying and controlling risk across the customer’s life cycle, keeping track of the performance of credit policies at origination and monitoring behavior in customer management and collections. For this purpose, Interbank uses data mining and cluster analysis, stress testing for likelihood of defaults, vintage and roll rate analysis and credit risk scoring.
During collection of early stage (1-90 days) due loans in retail banking, Interbank uses collection scores that allow it to choose the appropriate collection strategy: phone collection, text message collection, chatbot, mail or personal collection.
Unpaid debts with a 90 day stay are deemed defaulted loans. Depending on whether the recovery strategy is based on the client’s cash flow or collateral foreclosure, loans are assigned to Interbank’s recovery division. The recovery division has two units, pre-judicial and judicial stage of recovery. During the judicial stage of recovery, accounts are assigned to recovery attorneys. Recovery may include the sale of foreclosed assets.
Defaulted loans that are 100% accounted for under loan loss reserves are written-off and managed through external judicial recovery.
Collections and recoveries are undertaken through advanced collection systems from world class suppliers and predictive dialers. The recovery portfolio is segmented into various groups that are divided according to the specific phase of the recovery process. Collections and recovery efforts are made by letters, SMS text messages, IVR (Interactive Voice Response), telephone and personal contact with the customer.
Market Risk
Market risk is the probability of loss due to variations in financial market conditions. The main variations to which Interbank is exposed are: (i) exchange rates, (ii) interest rates and, (iii) prices. Said variations can affect the value of financial assets and liabilities. As part of the risk management system, in certain circumstances Interbank uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate the risk exposure which arises from the variations in interest rates and exchange rates.
219
Exchange Rate
Management sets limits on exposure levels by currency and monitors them on a daily basis. Transactions in foreign currency are accounted for by using exchange rates prevailing on the market.
Interbank manages exchange rates by matching its assets and liabilities, overseeing the global exchange position daily. Interbank’s global foreign exchange position is equivalent to the result of long positions minus short positions in currencies different from the sol. The global foreign exchange position includes spot positions and derivative positions.
Interest Rate
Interest rates continuously fluctuate on the market. These fluctuations affect Interbank in two ways: first, through the change in the valuation of assets and liabilities; and second, though cash flows at repricing. The variation in the valuation of assets and liabilities is increasingly sensitive as the term at which the asset or liability repricing increases. This process consists of the assessment of the repricing periods. On the other side, cash flows are affected when the instruments reach maturity, given that they are invested or placed at the new market interest rates.
The interest rate risk tracking is reported to the Integral Risk Management Committee, as well as the ALCO. The Integral Risk Management Committee approves the various limits applicable to the management of financial instruments. The tracking process is performed by the Division of Market Risk.
An analysis of repricing gaps is performed to determine the impact of interest rate movements on the valuation of assets and liabilities into different time gaps.
The following tables summarize Interbank’s exposure to interest rate risks. Financial instruments are presented at book value, classified by the period of the contract’s interest rate repricing or maturity date, whichever occurs first:

Interbank separates exposures to market risk into two blocks: (i) trading book, which comprises positions in liquid investments, and (ii) banking book, which comprises banking assets and liabilities inherent to the intermediation business whose market risk exposure stems from the changes in the portfolio’s structural positions.
Trading Book
To control and monitor the risks arising from the volatility of risk factors, Interbank has established maximum exposure limits by currency, investment type, Value-at-Risk (VaR) and tolerance to expected maximum loss (Stop Loss), which are monitored on a daily basis. Likewise, reports from the Integral Risk Management Committee and the ALCO are submitted regularly to Interbank’s board of directors.
The validity of VaR calculation is proven through a back-testing proof, which uses historical data to ensure that the model adequately estimates potential losses. Additionally, it calculates risk factor sensitivity, which shows potential portfolio losses resulting from interest rate shocks, exchange rate shocks and price shocks, among others.
As of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, Interbank’s VaR calculated for its trading book, classified by type of risk, was as follows:

Interbank’s VaR decreased from S/2.0 million as of December 31, 2022 to S/1.2 million as of December 31, 2023, mainly due to lower interest rate risk and to a lesser extent foreign exchange risk. The rate risk was reduced due to the exit of Interbank’s treasury position and by lower net positions in forwards.
Interbank’s VaR decreased from S/10.6 million as of December 31, 2021 to S/2.0 million as of December 31, 2022, mainly due to a reduction in volumes of derivatives along with the change from the LIBOR reference rate to the SOFR reference rate.
For the periods presented Interbank did not have back-testing exceptions.
Banking Book
Interbank also holds positions that are not actively traded. These positions include all loan placements and funds raised through Interbank’s intermediation business, as well as certain investments that are not deemed trading.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign exchange rate risk is the risk due to exchange rates movements. Management sets limits on exposure levels by currency and monitors them on a daily basis. Transactions in foreign currency are accounted for by using exchange rates prevailing on the market.
Interbank manages exchange rate risk by matching its assets and liabilities, overseeing the global exchange position on a daily basis. Interbank’s global foreign exchange position is equivalent to the result of long positions minus short positions in currencies different from the sol. The global foreign exchange position includes spot positions and derivative positions.
Liquidity Risk
Interbank’s liquidity risk arises from the potential inability to comply with financial obligations. This risk may arise as a result of diverse events such as the unexpected loss of funding sources or the inability to rapidly settle assets, among others.
Interbank takes short-term deposits and transforms them into longer-term loans, which also increases its exposure to liquidity risk. Interbank keeps a set of deposits that historically represent a stable funding source.
Interbank’s liquidity is managed by the Vice President of Capital Markets, which leads the ALCO. Liquidity risk is overseen by the Integral Risk Management Committee, which defines the risk level that Interbank is willing to take and reviews the corresponding indicators, limits and controls.
Interbank has a set of indicators that establish minimum short-term liquidity and reflect several risk aspects, such as concentration, stability, position by currency, main depositors, etc. The Market Risk Division is responsible for tracking such indicators.
Interbank also assesses medium-term and long-term liquidity through a structural analysis of its funds inflows and outflows on diverse maturity terms. This process allows it to identify, for each currency, the funding sources, how liquidity needs increase and which terms are mismatched. For both assets and liabilities, Interbank makes assumptions for operations without specific maturity dates, including revolving loans and savings. These assumptions also include the estimated obligations arising from contingent liabilities such as guarantee letters or non-used credit lines. Based on this information, necessary actions are taken to maintain the target liquidity levels.
Operational Risk
Operational risk is defined as the possibility of losses due to inadequate processes, faulty personnel, information technology, or external events. To manage these risks, Interbank has established three defense lines:
| • | 1st line: comprises the business and support units, which perform operations directly and are responsible for the operational risks. |
| • | 2nd line: comprises the units of risks, Fraud Prevention, Cybersecurity, the Portal for Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing Prevention (“PLAFT” by its Spanish acronym), among others, which provide for the methodological support for risk management. |
| • | 3rd line: comprises the Internal Audit unit, which conducts an independent review on the operational risk management. |
222
The management of operational risk by Interbank has the following objectives:
| • | to manage risk according to the defined levels of appetite and tolerance; |
| • | to reduce the level of operational losses; |
| • | to monitor, measure and report the main risks identified to their respective units; |
| • | to promote the development and innovation of new products and processes in accordance with the aforementioned objectives; and |
| • | to maintain an optimal level of readiness in case of any interrupting event that may weaken Interbank’s operations, as well as improve its recovery abilities. |
The management of operational risk by Interbank uses the Basel standards as base, and it is constantly being transformed to support Interbank in its process of digital transformation in a manner that is sustainable, streamlined, and straightforward.
Insurance Segment
Interseguro has the following risk management objectives:
| • | protect shareholder value by monitoring that exposure to probable losses does not exceed approved limits; |
| • | protect policyholders so that their rights will not be affected by losses that exceed the value of Interseguro’s equity; |
| • | support the decision making processes in Interseguro, by providing consistent, reliable and timely risk information; and |
| • | promote a successful company culture of risk awareness and informed risk-taking. |
To this end, Interseguro uses tools and methodologies to identify and manage risk efficiently, incorporating analytics into its decision-making process.
Main Types of Risks
The main risks faced by Interseguro are insurance risk, credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, real estate risk and operational risk. Other risks include interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk.
Insurance Risk
As an insurance company, Interseguro is exposed to the risk that the assumptions it employs to price a particular insurance policy, such as the frequency of losses or the severity of losses may be incorrect. Flaws in these assumptions may lead to premium mispricing and the miscalculation of the amount of funds necessary to cover such insurance policy. Particularly, upon the sale of an annuity, Interseguro records a reserve that is calculated on the basis of a market discount rate and mortality data.
Credit Risk
Interseguro holds a large portfolio of debt investments and fixed income securities and is therefore exposed to the risk that the issuer may default on its interest or principal payments. This risk is mitigated through a three-step process. Initially, regulations established by the SBS (1) limit the types of investments Interseguro can make, (2) set minimum credit ratings that securities must have, and (3) limit Interseguro’s investments with respect to a single issuer. Secondly, Interseguro performs a careful analysis on the securities it purchases. Finally, Interseguro’s investment committee, which is comprised of both internal and independent members of its board of directors, is responsible for approving any new investment and periodically reviews Interseguro’s investment portfolio.
Market Risk
Interseguro is exposed to the risk that the value of its investments decreases due to changing market conditions. Market risk drivers include equity prices, interest rates and real estate prices. Interseguro manages this risk by setting limits on individual
223
issuer concentration, on type and liquidity of assets and on deviations from the terms of the technical liabilities they should cover. The risk management unit regularly assesses market risk to verify its alignment to Interseguro’s risk appetite. This assessment includes VaR analysis, contribution and sensitivity analysis of each risk driver and stress tests in different extreme scenarios.
The VaR analysis is a statistical measurement that quantifies the maximum loss expected for the investment portfolio for a period of time and a determined significance level under normal market conditions. For VaR calculation Interseguro uses a historical simulation model, with a 10-day period of time and a 99% significance level. The VaR is calculated for the entire market portfolio, and for market risk factors, such as interest rate, equity price and foreign exchange.
The validity of the VaR calculation is proven through back-testing, which uses historical data to ensure that the model adequately estimates the potential losses. Additionally, Interseguro employs sensitivity analysis to show potential portfolio losses derived from price, foreign currency and interest rate fluctuations.
As of December 31, 2023, December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Interseguro’s VaR calculated for its investment portfolio, classified by type of risk, was as follows:

Between December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023, the value of Interseguro’s investment portfolio in financial instruments increased by more than S/1,458.1 million, which also led to an increase in exposure to market risk represented by the VaR, mainly explained by in interest rate risk and price risk.
Between December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, the value of Interseguro’s investment portfolio in financial instruments decreased by more than S/656.3 million, which also led to a decrease in exposure to market risk represented by the VaR, principally in interest rate risk and price risk.
For the periods presented Interseguro did not have back-testing exceptions.
Interest Rate Risk
The following tables set forth all the assets and liabilities that are sensitive to interest rate movements.
In addition to fixed income investments, Interseguro has almost no interest-bearing assets or liabilities. Consequently, the interest rate risk of Interseguro is already incorporated into the market risk of the portfolio.

Foreign Exchange Risk
Interseguro has mainly assets and liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars. Interseguro manages its foreign exchange rate exposure by matching assets and liabilities by currency.
Liquidity Risk
Interseguro controls its liquidity needs in the short, medium and long term with the application of Asset Adequacy Tests. In simple terms, these are exercises in which the projected flows of the contracted annuities and insurance policies, are compared with the cash flows of the assets allocated for their coverage, and the present value of the surpluses, dynamically calculated, represents the level of liquidity adequacy of Interseguro.
Real Estate Risk
There are two sources of real estate risk. The first is related to the real estate market, which includes property values and lease demand. The second is the possibility of default on leases.
Interseguro manages the risk associated with its real estate market by adapting its current offer and future projects to the new conditions that arises. Interseguro periodically evaluates the financial position of prospective and current tenants to reduce the risk of losing rental income.
Operational Risk
Operational risk is defined as the possibility of losses due to inadequate processes, faulty personnel, information technology, or external events. To manage these risks, Interseguro uses tools for identification, evaluation and treatment of risks similar to the tools used by banks to comply with Basel II. The goals of these risk management tools may be summarized as follows:
| • | reduce operational losses by identifying potential process risks; |
| • | identify operational risk in the development of new products; |
| • | manage control risk and self-assessment of critical processes; and |
| • | monitor and measure operational risk. |
Wealth Management Segment
Inteligo’s risk management policies are guided by an emphasis on maintaining growth that is both sustainable, profitable and aligned to adequate levels of risk. In order to accomplish this, Inteligo has developed analytic tools and methodologies aiming to identify and manage risk efficiently. Inteligo monitors and reviews these tools to ensure that adequate levels of prediction and performance are maintained and, if necessary, to make adjustments or take corrective measures.
In order to manage the above risks, Inteligo has a specialized risk management structure, measurement systems and mitigation and coverage processes.
Inteligo uses different key risk indicators (“KRI”) to measure its exposure to risk factors. These KRI are continuously monitored and reviewed monthly by senior management and quarterly by the Integral Risk Management Committee and the board of directors to identify possible deviations from the stipulated risk appetite and apply timely corrective actions if needed.
Both credit and market risk are the main risks to be managed by Inteligo and, in order to mitigate its exposure and provide adequate risk coverage, it has established the following measures, among others:
| • | policies, procedures, methodologies, and parameters aimed to identify, measure, control and report market and credit risk; |
| • | review and assessment of credit risk through a specialized risk department which is independent from the commercial unit and which assesses all credit risks prior to loan approvals; |
| • | compliance with regulatory limits and establishment of internal limits for concentration exposure to counterparties and financial instruments, such as concentration to industry, issuer, credit rating and type of investment; and |
| • | procedures for the management of loan guarantees. |
226
Through these measures, Inteligo establishes the patterns and mechanisms needed to maintain a diversified portfolio and prevent excessive risk concentration.
Main Types of Risks
The main risks faced by Inteligo are credit risk, market risk, interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, liquidity risk and operational risk.
Credit Risk
In our wealth management segment, only Inteligo Bank is exposed to credit risk. The substantial majority of loans we make are fully collateralized by time deposits or investment securities. Nevertheless, we have implemented strict credit risk management policies, which have contributed to a minimum level of non-performing loans. As of December 31, 2023, only 0.01% of its loan portfolio was classified as non-performing loans.
The following table presents the approval levels required for loan applications by total exposure amount in U.S. dollars.
| Approval levels | Amount | |||
| Board of Directors |
Over U.S.$20,000,000 | |||
| Executive Committee |
Up to U.S.$20,000,000 | |||
| Credit Committee |
Up to U.S.$15,000,000 | |||
| Chief Executive Officer |
Up to U.S.$5,000,000 | |||
| Chief Operating Officer |
Up to U.S.$1,500,000 | |||
| Operations Manager |
Up to U.S.$500,000 | |||
Credit approval is determined by the applicant’s repayment ability, which is determined primarily by the applicant’s credit history and cash flow generation for commercial loans or monthly net profit for retail loans.
The decision whether or not to approve an extension of credit takes into account the applicant’s economic environment, its ability to meet its obligations, collateral, management and character. We developed a credit risk scorecard system, which classifies applicants based on several variables such as leverage ratio, debt service as a percentage of monthly income and collateral quality, among others.
The Risk Unit is responsible for periodical monitoring of our credit portfolio and early detection of possible deviations in the credit performance and financial condition of clients in order to maintain a healthy loan portfolio and take timely and necessary actions to reduce or avoid losses. To this end, the Risk Unit reviews Inteligo Bank’s loan portfolio on a monthly basis and calculates an expected credit loss according to internal models. Additionally, it is responsible for the regulatory classification of all bank customers and appropriate allocation of reserves.
Although Inteligo Bank has a recovery process for the collection of unpaid loans, there have been very few cases of non-performing or defaulted loans.
Market Risk
Market risk is the probability of loss due to variations in financial market conditions. The main variations to which Inteligo is exposed to are: interest rates and market pricing of financial instruments. Said variations can affect the value of Inteligo’s financial assets and liabilities. Exchange rate risk is minimal because of the small exposure to other currencies.
Inteligo Investment Portfolio
In order to monitor the risks within each instrument of its investment portfolio, Inteligo has established maximum exposure limits by individual issuer, investment type and currency that are calculated on a monthly basis.
The main technique used to measure and control market risk is VaR, which is a statistical measurement that quantifies the maximum loss expected for the investment portfolio for a period of time and a determined significance level under normal market conditions. Inteligo uses the historic VaR model for a period of one month with a 99% confidence level. The VaR is calculated for each risk factor (price, interest rate and exchange rate) and investment type (fixed income, equity and alternative investments).
227
Additionally, Inteligo calculates the marginal contribution to VaR of each instrument in the portfolio. The validity of the VaR calculation is verified through a back-testing methodology, which uses historical data to ensure that the model adequately estimates potential losses. Inteligo has also developed a sensitivity analysis to show potential portfolio losses from price variations in its investment portfolio or interest rates fluctuations.
The primary source of Inteligo’s market risk is Inteligo Bank’s investment portfolio, as it represents over 95% of Inteligo’s VaR results. As of December 31, 2023, December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 Inteligo’s VaR, classified by type of risk was as follows:

Inteligo’s VaR decreased S/73.4 million as of December 31, 2023, mainly due to the increase of fixed income assets compared to other assets with greater volatility in the portfolio as well as the sale of specific positions, when compared to December 31, 2022.
Inteligo’s VaR increased S/1 million as of December 31, 2022, mainly due to higher levels of interest rates due to inflationary pressures in the relevant market that affect Inteligo’s fixed income portfolio, when compared to December 31, 2021.
For the periods presented Inteligo did not have back-testing exceptions.
Assets and Liabilities Management
Inteligo holds positions that are not actively traded, including its loan portfolio, customer deposits, and bank loans. These positions are also exposed to interest rate risk, exchange rate risk and liquidity risk.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rates continuously fluctuate on the market. These fluctuations affect Inteligo in two ways: firstly, through the change in the valuation of assets and liabilities; and secondly, affecting the cash flows at repricing dates. The variation in the valuation of assets and liabilities is increasingly sensitive as the term at which the asset or liability repricing increases.
An analysis of the repricing gaps is performed in order to determine the impact of interest rates movements. Said analysis consists of classifying all the interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities in several time ranges according of their repricing date. The impact of the variation in the valuation of assets and liabilities on each range (the repricing gap) is calculated in function of this analysis.
228
The following tables summarize Inteligo’s exposure to interest rate risks. Inteligo’s financial instruments are presented at book value, classified by the period of the contract’s interest rate repricing or maturity date, whichever occurs first:

Foreign Exchange Risk
Exchange rate risk is related to the variation of the positions both on- and off-balance sheet that may be negatively affected by exchange rates movements. Inteligo Bank’s main business is performed in U.S. dollars, its functional currency. Management sets a limit to exposure levels in other currencies and monitors it monthly.
Inteligo SAB uses both soles and U.S. dollars in its trading operations and maintains positions in both currencies. Interfondos manages mutual funds in both soles and U.S. dollars.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk consists of Inteligo’s inability to comply with the maturity of its obligations, thus incurring losses that affect its equity position. This risk may arise as result of diverse events such as the unexpected decrease of funding sources or the inability to rapidly settle assets, among others.
Although Inteligo takes short-term deposits, most of the deposits have historically been renewed or maintained, and consequently they represent a stable funding source. Additionally, the average loan term is less than a year and more than a half of the investment portfolio can be easily liquidated, so liquidity risk is low.
Nevertheless, Inteligo assesses medium-term and long-term liquidity through a structural analysis of its funds inflows and outflows on diverse maturity terms. This process allows it to know the diverse funding sources, how liquidity needs to be increased, and which terms are mismatched. On the basis of this information, the necessary decisions to maintain adequate liquidity levels are taken.
Inteligo Bank’s financial assets include unlisted equity investments, which generally are illiquid. In addition, Inteligo Bank holds investments in closed (unlisted) and open-ended investment funds, which may be subject to redemption restrictions such as “side pockets” and redemption limits. As a result, Inteligo Bank may not be able to settle some of its investments in these instruments in due time in order to meet its liquidity requirements.
Operational Risk
Inteligo manages operational risk through its risk unit, guided by banking best-practices, including Basel II policies. The objectives of the operational risk management are to:
| • | reduce operational losses by identifying potential process risks; |
| • | identify operational risk in the development of new products; and |
| • | manage control risk and self-assess critical processes; |
| • | monitor and measure operational risk. |
Inteligo’s methodology is based on two tools for identifying and measuring risks that calculate the exposure level and facilitates decision-making to mitigate exposures within certain limits of risk tolerance. These tools are risks and controls self-assessment, and collection of loss event.
Inteligo Bank uses the Standardized Approach for operational risk management under Basel III, according to the Central Bank of The Bahamas’ regulation. In recent years, Inteligo launched several initiatives to strengthen the risk culture among the employees.
Payments Segment
Main Types of Risks
The main types of risk inherent in Izipay’s businesses are fraud and operational risk.
To manage the risks mentioned above, Izipay has a specialized risk management structure, measurement systems and mitigation and remediation processes. This structure is used to manage the risks of the organization, establish preventive control mechanisms and mitigate risks constantly. Izipay’s risk management team proposes and implements action plans to mitigate any identified risks.
230
These tools are continuously monitored and periodically validated to ensure that appropriate levels of prediction and performance are being maintained and to take corrective action or adjust the models when needed. The risk management indicators are continuously reviewed and assessed to identify possible deviations in risk profile with respect to the established risk appetite and apply timely corrective actions as needed. This information is submitted to the Risk Committee periodically.
Fraud Risk
In our payments segment, Izipay is exposed to fraud risk due to the sales transactions carried out through its systems are susceptible to potentially fraudulent or improper sales, which may be charged back to Izipay. In order to mitigate this risk, Izipay has around-the-clock transactional monitoring for all transactions made in its acquisition network. Izipay has monitoring tools in real time or close to real time, for the pre-clearing of transactions and for the merchants’ settlement.
Additionally, we work in coordination with the Association of Banks (ASBANC) that notifies us about cases of fraud reported by local issuers in order to take swift action in the mitigation of any damage.
Merchants with irregular activity, bad practices, with cases of fraud reported by issuers, among others, are disaffiliated from our system and included in our blocked list so that they cannot affiliate again to our system.
Our efforts to efficiently prevent fraud aim to protect Izipay from financial loss due to claims or disputes and from reputational damage. In addition, it ensures the proper functioning of the ecosystem of payment industry in Peru.
Operational Risk
Operational risk is the probability of loss due to inadequate processes, personnel and information technology failures, or external events. For Izipay, operational risk also includes risks related to information security, cybersecurity and compliance risks.
Izipay has an operational risk team which, jointly with the personnel responsible for a certain task, unit or department (experts), identifies, measures and treats the risks affecting such unit or department, and carries out adequate risk management to mitigate those risks.
Izipay employs a methodology for the evaluation of operational risks, with a series of activities for risk identification, followed by controls, impact measurement and evaluation of probability so as to calculate the residual risks Izipay is exposed to. It identifies the risks as “moderate,” “high,” “extreme,” and “not acceptable,” determining a different set of actions for each type of risk. The method also assigns a person responsible for the proposed mitigation plan and to monitor its execution.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. We have evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2023.
There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management, under the supervision and with the participation of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS as adopted by IASB and includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS as adopted by IASB, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, effective control over financial reporting cannot and does not provide absolute assurance of achieving our control objectives. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13(a)-13(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2023. In making this assessment, it used the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
EY Peru, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, which is included in this Annual Report on Form 20-F under “Item 18. Financial Statements—Report of independent registered public accounting firm.”
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

| ITEM 16 G | Corporate Governance |
Corporate Governance
As a foreign private issuer, we are subject to different corporate governance requirements than those followed by a U.S. company with shares listed on the NYSE that follow NYSE listing standards. With certain exceptions, foreign private issuers are permitted to follow their home country corporate governance standards.
We are registered with the SMV and although there is no legal obligation to comply with Peruvian corporate governance practices, we are required to report our degree of compliance with Peruvian corporate governance practices for Peruvian publicly-held companies to the SMV. Because we are not subject to Panamanian securities laws as we have not offered any securities in Panama and because general corporate law in Panama does not impose any meaningful restrictions on our corporate governance, a comparison to Panamanian corporate governance practices is not applicable. Additionally, we have adopted a set of additional corporate governance guidelines as contemplated by the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and our articles of incorporation, which include the establishment of:
| • | principles and duties relating to the conduct of our management, including as with respect to confidentiality and conflicts of interest; |
| • | internal accounting controls systems; |
| • | corporate governance guidelines; |
| • | amendments to the audit committee charter; |
| • | a code of business conduct and ethics; |
| • | corporate anti-corruption policies and guidelines, including compliance with the FCPA; and |
| • | amendments to corporate compliance policies. |
Pursuant to Section 303A.11 of the Listed Company Manual of the NYSE, we are required to provide a summary of the significant ways in which our corporate governance practices differ from those required for U.S. companies under the NYSE listing standards. The following is a comparison between our corporate governance policies under Peruvian law and those of the NYSE listing standards.
| NYSE Standards | Our Corporate Governance Practices | |
| Director Independence. A majority of the board of directors must be independent, except in the case of a “controlled” issuer. §303A.01 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual | Our articles of incorporation provide for a minimum of three members for our board of directors. Currently, our board of directors is composed of seven members. | |
| The criteria for determining independence under our corporate governance standards has been defined in accordance with Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. | ||
| Executive Sessions. Non-management directors must meet regularly in executive sessions without management. Independent directors should meet alone in an executive session at least once a year. §303A.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual | Under our articles of incorporation and applicable laws non-management directors are not required to meet in executive sessions without management. | |
235
| NYSE Standards | Our Corporate Governance Practices | |
| Audit committee. An audit committee satisfying the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. §303A.06 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual | Our audit committee complies with the criteria set forth under our “Audit Committee Charter,” the rules of the NYSE and Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act, each as applicable to foreign private issuers. Our audit committee consists of three directors, all of whom are financially literate and one of whom is a financial expert. Our audit committee is fully independent in compliance with NYSE rules and Rule 10A-3(b) of the Exchange Act. | |
| Audit committee additional requirements. §303A.07 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual requires that an audit committee must consist of at least three members, each of whom are financially literate and at least one of whom is a financial expert, and that the audit committee have a written charter outlining the committee’s responsibilities. | Our audit committee complies with the criteria set forth under our “Audit Committee Charter,” the rules of the NYSE and Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act, each as applicable to foreign private issuers. Our audit committee consists of three directors, all of whom are financially literate and one of whom is a financial expert. The three members of the audit committee are independent. | |
| Nominating/corporate governance committee. A nominating/corporate governance committee of independent directors is required. The committee must have a charter specifying the purpose, duties and evaluation procedures of the committee. §303A.04 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual | We do not have a nominating/corporate governance committee. Our board of directors has the power to establish such a committee in the future on the terms it deems appropriate. | |
| Compensation committee. A compensation committee of independent directors is required. The committee must approve executive officer compensation and must have a charter specifying the purpose, duties and evaluation procedures of the committee. §303A.05 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual | We do not have a compensation committee.

As cybersecurity risks increase in both frequency and impact, IFS and its subsidiaries have implemented a cyber resilience strategy designed to protect, identify, and respond to cybersecurity threats, as well as actions for the recovery of technology and operational processes to ensure business continuity in the event of a cybersecurity breach. This strategy includes the implementation of tools, procedures, and teams of cybersecurity experts operating under a management framework based on industry standards such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF), ISO 27001, and PCI DSS. It also considers new industry trends, current regulations, and definitions established by IFS and its subsidiaries. The following is a summary of the cybersecurity risk management and strategy in each of our segments.
236
Banking Segment
Risk management and strategy
While the Cybersecurity Division of Interbank leads the cybersecurity risk management, the function extends across the organization, involving other teams in business, technology, risk, and auditing. Both the strategy and the cybersecurity risk management framework consider business strategy, cybersecurity-related regulations, risk appetite, and the global cybersecurity context.
The cybersecurity risk management framework is designed to establish capabilities and responsibilities at different control layers, including:
Teams, tools, and procedures for the identification, assessment, control, and mitigation of cybersecurity risks;
A governance model that sets the cybersecurity management framework, and provides direction and information to top management for decision-making; and
An independent audit model that supervises the cybersecurity management model definition and execution.
The Cybersecurity Division is responsible for defining methodologies, procedures, and tools for managing cybersecurity risks and for defining policies approved by Interbank’s board of directors. Both Interbank’s board of directors and the executive level are highly involved in cybersecurity risk management, ensuring adequate resource allocation (people, technology, and processes) for this purpose. They also promote the development of a culture around strong cybersecurity habits throughout the organization.
The sophistication of techniques used for attacks, coupled with the hybrid work environment extending the security perimeter to multiple locations and devices, the growing adoption of the cloud, and emerging technologies such as AI, create a challenging and ever-changing environment for cybersecurity management.
Interbank’s strategy to address this environment focuses on strengthening capabilities to provide a secure remote work environment for employees and third parties involved in our operation. Technologies such as Secure Web Gateway (SWG) for web browsing security, Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) for SaaS access, Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) for monitoring cloud instance deployment, and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) on stations and servers, have been implemented. This evolution goes beyond traditional antivirus solutions and is part of an advanced strategy for threat identification and response, known as Extended Detection and Response (XDR). Interbank has also enhanced the software development lifecycle through continuous testing, including various dynamic (SAST), static (DAST), and composition (CSA) testing approaches to ensure the security quality of the services provided to customers. Additionally, the strategy includes strengthening capabilities for preventing data leakage (DLP) as a complement to these actions.
In 2023, Interbank took the following main actions to consolidate its cybersecurity strategy:
Consolidated the evolution of the Security Operations Center (SOC) by selecting a leading company in the provision of these services globally. Achievements of this project include the incorporation of new Network Detection and Response (NDR) technologies as part of our XDR strategy. User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) capabilities were included, along with an approach to automate management and response procedures through Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) technologies;
Strengthened the cyber intelligence and incident response program through new subscriptions to services providing relevant information on the global and local cybersecurity environment;
Implemented new technologies for remote access through a Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) approach;
Redefined the Identity and Access Management (IAM) model and defined a roadmap for its evolution;
Strengthened the structure of the Cybersecurity Division with a 3X growth in capacity, allowing the incorporation of new talents in areas such as third-party risk management, incident response, threat intelligence, support for transformation initiatives, and identity and access management; and
237
Enhanced security mechanisms for digital channels, especially authentication mechanisms for access to these channels, in line with local regulatory provisions.
In 2023, Interbank executed awareness and cybersecurity training actions, including internal campaigns with audiovisual media, informative bulletins, expert-supported talks, security courses, and simulated social engineering attack campaigns. These actions aimed to raise awareness among employees about such threats, measure their ability to detect them, and encourage effective reporting.
During 2023, Interbank did not have any cybersecurity incidents that materially affected it or were reasonably likely to materially affect it.
Governance
Interbank’s board of directors has established oversight committees for cybersecurity risk management, including the Integrated Risk Management Committee and the Information Security and Cybersecurity Committee. These committees monitor the performance of cybersecurity management, provide guidance for policy creation and changes, and make decisions regarding cybersecurity management in the organization. Interbank’s board of directors approves policies and monitors cybersecurity management through reports from these committees. Furthermore, one of Interbank’s directors (Marcia Nogueira de Mello, see “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—Directors and senior management—Interbank—Board of Directors”) has been designated as the director responsible for supervising the efficiency of Interbank’s information security and cybersecurity system since 2023, and periodically evaluates performance, provides guidance, and reports to the board on the state of cybersecurity management at Interbank. This governance model ensures proper cybersecurity risk management and keeps the board informed for a clear understanding of the state of cybersecurity, enabling them to make necessary decisions.
Through the Integrated Risk Committee, which includes board members, the board receives information on the cybersecurity risk exposure profile, state of alignment with the defined tolerance level, and adopted mitigation measures. Through the audit committee, which also includes board members, the board receives information on assessments of the cybersecurity management model and compliance with improvement plans related to these assessments.
The Information Security and Cybersecurity Committee is responsible for aligning the cybersecurity strategy with the business strategy and Interbank’s risk appetite and tolerance objectives. It monitors the development of the defined cybersecurity strategy, stays informed about cybersecurity incidents, and ensures that mitigation actions and lessons learned have been taken. This committee ensures that relevant cybersecurity risks and mitigation actions are reported to the board through defined channels. This committee is composed by:
| • | Alfonso Alejandro Díaz Tordoya. Executive Vice President of Operations and Technology (see “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—Directors and senior management—Interbank—Executive Officers”). |
| • | Gabriela Prado Bustamante. Executive Vice President of Risk Management (see “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—Directors and senior management—Interbank—Executive Officers”). |

Mr Castrillón is also member of the Strategic Security Risk Committee of Association of Banks of Peru (ASBANC, by its Spanish acronym). Mr. Castrillón received a bachelor’s degree in systems engineering from Universidad de Antioquia and he has participated in strategic management and business management programs at Universidad de la Sabana. Additionally, he holds certifications as a Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) and a Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) from the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA). |
Insurance Segment
Risk management and strategy
Interseguro has a framework for comprehensive risk management, including cybersecurity risks. The framework establishes procedures for the identification, assessment, mitigation, and communication of cybersecurity risks.
While the Information Security and Cybersecurity unit is responsible for providing methodological support for cybersecurity risk management and defining control policies and procedures, the function extends across business and support units, which are accountable for the risks. Additionally, an audit layer has been established to independently assess the performance of the defined management framework.
Interseguro’s strategy focuses on the implementation of measures to prevent, detect, respond and recover from cybersecurity threats in a global environment where the materialization of cybersecurity risks continues to increase. These measures have primarily centered around improving identity and access management controls, both in preventive aspects and monitoring activities. Additionally, the governance framework has been strengthened through the updating of information security policies and associated procedures, along with the reinforcement of vulnerability identification processes through red team exercises.
In 2023, Interseguro developed the following main cybersecurity initiatives to further consolidate its posture to face cybersecurity risks:

Significant accounting policies |
| 3.1 | Basis of presentation - |
| 3.2 | Adoption of new standards and disclosures - |
| • | First-time adoption of IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” |
| (a) | Classification and measurement – |
| • | Identifies insurance contracts as those under which the entity accepts significant insurance risk from another party (the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specified uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the policyholder. |
| • | Recognizes and separates in insurance contracts investment components, embedded derivatives and goods or services components from insurance services in insurance contracts, recording them according to other standards. |
| • | Divides insurance contracts into groups for recognition and measurement: |
| • | At the risk-adjusted present value of the future cash flows (fulfillment cash flow, or “FCF”) that incorporates all available information on cash flows in a manner consistent with observable market information. |
| • | An amount representing the unearned profit in the group of contracts (the contractual service margin, or “CSM”). |
| • | Recognizes profit on a group of insurance contracts during each period in which the Group provides insurance contract services, as the Group is relieved of risk. If a group of contracts is expected to be onerous (i.e., generate losses) during the remaining coverage period, the Group recognizes the loss immediately. |
| (b) | Changes in disclosures – |
| • | Amendments to IAS 8 “Accounting policies, changes in estimates and errors”: Definition of Accounting Estimates |
| • | Amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting Policies |
| • | Amendments to IAS 12 “Income Taxes”: Deferred Tax related to assets and Liabilities arising from a single transaction |
| • | Amendments to IAS 12 “Income Taxes”: International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules |
| • | A mandatory temporary exception to the recognition and disclosure of deferred taxes arising from the jurisdictional implementation of the Pillar Two model rules; and |
| • | Disclosure requirements for affected entities to help users of the financial statements better understand an entity’s exposure to Pillar Two income taxes arising from that legislation, particularly before its effective date. |
| 3.3 | Basis of consolidation - |
| • | Power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee); |
| • | Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and |
| • | The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns. |
| • | The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee; |
| • | Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and |
| • | The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights. |
| 3.4 | Summary of material accounting policies - |
| (a) | Foreign currency translation - |
| • | Assets and liabilities at the closing rate at the date of each consolidated statement of financial position. |
| • | Income and expenses, at the average exchange rate for each month. |
| (b) | Interest income - |
| (b.1) | Effective interest rate method - |
| (b.2) | Interest income and similar - |
| (c) | Banking services commissions - |
| • | Fees receivable for credit cards and certain fees receivable for letters of guarantee included in the caption “Other accounts receivable and other assets, net”, represent the Group’s right to an unconditional consideration (i.e., it only requires the passing of time for the consideration payment). This asset is measured at amortized cost and is subject to impairment specifications under IFRS 9. |
| • | Deferred income from commissions for letters of guarantee included in the caption “Other accounts payable, provisions and other liabilities”, represent the Group’s obligation to render services to a customer, from whom the Group has received a consideration (or a due amount). A liability for unearned fees and commissions is recognized when the payment is made or when the payment is due (whichever happens first). Unearned fees and commissions are recognized as income when the Group renders the service. |
| (d) | Insurance contracts – |
| (d.1) | Accounting policies for insurance activities (Policy applicable from January 1, 2023) |
| (d.1.1) | Insurance contracts - |
| (d.1.1.1) | Initial recognition - |
| • | The beginning of the coverage period of the group of contracts, |
| • | The date when the first payment from a policyholder in the group becomes due, and |
| • | For a group of onerous contracts, when the group becomes onerous. |
| • | The fulfillment cash flows, which comprise: |
| • | Estimates of future cash flows. |
| • | An adjustment to reflect the time value of money and the financial risks related to the future cash flows, to the extent that the financial risks are not included in the estimates of the future cash flows. and |
| • | A risk adjustment for non-financial risk. |
| • | The contractual service margin (“CSM”). |
| • | The liability for remaining coverage, which comprises: |
| • | The fulfillment of cash flows related to future services |
| • | The contractual service margin or CSM |
| • | The adjustment rate at market value |
| • | The claims incurred liability, which comprises the fulfillment cash flows related to future services. |
| (d.1.1.2) | Levels of aggregation - |
| • | Product lines and their differentiated management, separating the products by pensions, life, and general insurance, and below them, based on the specific covered risks: savings, risk, annuities, and accidents, among others. There are not separations of risks within the same contract because they are jointly managed. |
| • | Contract limits: differentiating in equal contracts or shorter than one year and longer than four years. |
| • | Individual or collective insurance policies. |
| • | Policy currency: differentiating between policies denominated in different currencies. Currently, the currencies considered are the Sol, the US Dollar, and Sol VAC. |
| • | Funeral expense cover (in currency VAC): a different portfolio is considered because it is understood that its risk management is different from the management of the main risk of the product Annuity (SPP and Private). This criterion is only applicable to funeral VAC of the pensions (SPP and Private). |
| • | The assessment based on the indicated attributes continues to be performed for the new products that may be designed and marketed in the future. |
| • | Groups of contracts that are onerous at initial recognition, if any. |
| • | Groups of non-onerous contracts: Include contracts that at initial recognition have no significant possibility of becoming onerous subsequently and the remaining non-onerous contracts at initial recognition. |
| (d.1.1.3) | Valuation methods - |
| • | Building Block Approach (“BBA”). This method will be applied by default to insurance contracts unless conditions exist to apply any of the other two methods. |
| • | Two BBA variants. The first one will be applied compulsorily if the conditions for it are met, and the second one will be applied optionally if conditions are met: |
| • | Variable Fee Approach (“VFA”) |
| • | Premium Allocation Approach (“PAA”) |
| • | Fulfillment Cash Flows (“FCF”): the fulfillment cash flows are comprised of the following elements: |
| • | Estimation of future cash flows: Weighted estimation by the probability of future cash outflows occurrence minus the future cash inflows from the fulfillment of the contract. It is necessary to consider solely the cash flows that are within the limits of the insurance contract and the attributable acquisition expenses must be included. |
| • | Risk Adjustment (“RA”): Represents the compensation that an entity requires to bear the non-financial risk that arises from the uncertainty over the cash flows regarding their amount and the moment of payment of the future cash flows, and it is calculated in an explicit and separate manner from the cash flows. Likewise, the risk adjustment also reflects the risk aversion degree and the diversification degrees that the entity includes to determine the compensation to bear such non-financial risks. |
| • | CSM: Represents the expected profit from the insurance contracts, which is recognized in profit or loss as the service is rendered. The recognition of the CSM throughout the contract’s life is made in a systematic manner and consistently with the rendering of the service provided by the insurance contract in the future. |
| • | The contractual terms specify that the policyholder takes part in a clearly identified set of underlying elements; |
| • | The entity expects to pay the policyholder an amount equal to a substantial part of the profitability at fair value (market value) of the underlying elements; and |
| • | The entity expects that a substantial part of any change in the amounts payable to the policyholder varies with the change in fair value of the underlying elements. |
| • | In the CSM, market interest is credited. |
| • | In the CSM the difference in the value of the funds of the underlying asset’s funds is adjusted. |
| • | The other components remain the same as the BBA method. |
| • | For contracts longer than one year, the simplification results in a liability for remaining coverage that does not materially differ from that generated by the general model (BBA); or |
| • | The coverage period of the group of contracts is one year or shorter. The criterion that defines the one-year period must be determined according to the contract limits. |
| • | Life: BBA, PAA or VFA, depending on the characteristics and evaluation of the contract |
| • | Pensions: BBA |
| • | General insurance: BBA or PAA, depending on the characteristics and evaluation of the contract |
| (d.1.2) | Reinsurance - |
| (d.1.2.1) | Classification of reinsurance contracts - |
| (d.1.2.2) | Levels of aggregation - |
| • | Product lines and their differentiated management, separating in all cases the proportional reinsurance contracts and the non- proportional reinsurance contracts, and below them, based on the specific covered risks: credit life, “Vida Ley”, accidents, Individual life, retirement, CAT. |
| • | Contract limits, separating in all cases the annual and multi-year reinsurance contracts. |
| • | Materiality criteria, i.e., when there are individual contracts that do not comply with the previously described conditions to be grouped, the Group will have the possibility of grouping them as long as they are run-off isolated contracts with little relevance to the Company. |
| • | The assessment based on the indicated attributes will continue to be performed for the new products that may be designed and marketed in the future. |
| (d.1.2.3) | Reinsurance fee - |
| (d.1.3) | Exchange difference in insurance contract liabilities - |
| (d.1.4) | Recognition of income and expenses - |
| • | Income from ordinary insurance activities: for the decrease in the LRC due to the service rendered in the period. |
| • | Expenses of the insurance service: for losses in the groups of onerous contracts, and reversions of these losses. |
| • | Financial expenses and income for insurance activities: for the effect of the time value of money and the financial risk effect. |
| • | Expenses of the insurance service: for the increase in liability due to claims and expenses incurred in the period, excluding investment components. |
| • | Expenses of the insurance service: for the subsequent changes in the cash flows from the compliance related to claims and expenses incurred. |
| • | Financial expenses and financial income for insurance activities: for the effect of the time value of money and the financial risk effect. |
| (d.1.5) | Expenses attributable to the fulfillment of contracts - |
| (d.1.6) | Contractual Service Margin (CSM) - |
| (d.1.6.1) | Initial recognition |
| (d.1.6.2) | Subsequent valuation |
| (d.1.7) | Loss component |
| (d.1.7.1) | Determination of the loss component at initial recognition |
| • | It shall be allocated exclusively to the LC, until it is reduced to zero. |
| • | It shall be allocated in a systematic manner between the LC and the liability for remaining coverage, excluding the LC (LRC excluding the LC); the changes in the fulfillment cash flows of the LRC. |
| (d.1.7.2) | Subsequent valuation - |
| • | The release of claims and expenses of the LRC expected cash flows. |
| • | Changes in the risk adjustment (RA) recognized in the income for the period. |
| • | Financial expenses and income for insurance activities. |
| (d.1.8) | Risk Adjustment (RA) - |
| • | In portfolios whose provision for LRC is valued by the PAA method. The products that are valued by the simplified PAA method do not require an explicit RI calculation. |
| • | In portfolios whose provision for LRC is valued by the VFA method because the insurance component, and thus the non-financial risks component is not material in this typology of product with direct participation of the insured. |
| (d.2) | Accounting policies for insurance activities (Policy applicable before January 1, 2023) |
| • | Incurred but not reported claims reserves (IBNR): These reserves were calculated and applied at each recording period using the Chain Ladder methodology, which considers past experience based on cumulative claims losses to estimate future claims developments. |
| • | Technical reserves for life annuities and retirement, disability and survival pensions: The Group used the Peruvian mortality tables SPP-S-2017 and SPP-I-2017 (men and women), published by the SBS through Resolution No. 886-2018 dated March 7, 2018, and set the discount interest rate through the Matching Adjustment method plus an illiquidity premium to discount all the pension cash flows. |
| (i) | Gross benefits and claims |
| (ii) | Reinsurance premiums |
| (iii) | Reinsurance claims |
| (iv) | Acquisition costs |
| (e) | Financial instruments: Initial recognition - |
| (e.1) | Date of recognition |
| (e.2) | Initial measurement of financial instruments |
| (e.3) | Day 1 profit or loss |
| (e.4) | Measurement categories of financial assets and liabilities |
| • | Amortized cost, as explained in Note 3.4(f.1). |
| • | Fair value through other comprehensive income, as explained in Notes 3.4(f.4) and (f.5). |
| • | Fair value through profit or loss, as explained in Note 3.4(f.7). |
| (f) | Financial assets and liabilities - |
| (f.1) | Assets measured at amortized cost - |
| • | The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets to collect contractual cash flows, and |
| • | The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding. |
| (f.1.1) | Business model assessment - |
| • | How the performance of the business model and the financial assets held within that business model are assessed and reported to the entity’s key management personnel. |
| • | The risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and, in particular, the way those risks are managed. |
| (f.1.2) | The SPPI test (Solely payments of principal and interest) - |
| (f.2) | Derivatives recorded at fair value through profit or loss - |
| A derivative is a financial instrument or other contract with the following three characteristics: |
| • | Its value changes in response to the change in a specified interest rate, financial instrument price, commodity price, foreign exchange rate, index of prices or rates, credit rating or credit index, or other variable; provided that, in the case of a non-financial variable, it is not specific to part of the contract (i.e., the “underlying”). |
| • | It requires no initial net investment or an initial net investment that is smaller than the required for other types of contracts expected to have a similar response to changes in market factors. |
| • | It is settled at a future date. |
| The Group enters into derivative transactions with various counterparties, such as: interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps, foreign currency options and foreign currency forward contracts. Derivatives are recorded at fair value and carried as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when their fair value is negative. The notional amount and fair value of such derivatives are presented separately in Note 10(b). Changes in the fair value of derivatives are included in net trading income unless hedge accounting is applied. Hedge accounting disclosures are presented in Note 3.4(j). |
| (f.2.1) | Embedded derivatives - |
| An embedded derivative is a component of a hybrid instrument that also includes a non-derivative host contract with the effect that some of the cash flows of the combined instrument vary in a way like a stand-alone derivative. An embedded derivative causes some or all of the cash flows that otherwise would be required by the contract to be modified according to a specified interest rate, financial instrument price, commodity price, foreign exchange rate, index of prices or rates, credit rating or credit index, or other variable, provided that, in the case of a non-financial variable, it is not specific to a party to the contract. A derivative that is attached to a financial instrument, but is contractually transferable independently of that instrument, or has a different counterparty from that instrument, is not an embedded derivative, but a separate financial instrument. |
| Embedded derivatives in financial assets, liabilities and non-financial host contacts, were treated as separate derivatives and recorded at fair value if they met the definition of a derivative (as defined above), their economic characteristics and risks were not closely related to those of the host contract, and the host contract was not itself held for trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss. The embedded derivatives separated from the host contract are carried at fair value in the trading portfolio with changes in the fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of income. |
In the case of embedded derivatives in financial assets, they are not separated from the financial asset and, therefore, the classification rules are applied to the hybrid instrument in its entirety, as described in Note 3.4(e.4). |
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group does not present embedded derivatives in its financial liabilities needed to be separated from the host contract. |
| (f.3) | Financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading - |
The Group classifies financial assets or financial liabilities as held for trading when they have been purchased or issued primarily for short-term profit making through trading activities or form part of a portfolio of financial instruments that are managed together, for which there is evidence of a recent pattern of short-term profit taking. Held-for-trading assets and liabilities are recorded and measured in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in the statement of income. Interest income or expense and dividend are recorded in the statement of income according to the terms of the contract, or when the right to payment has been established. Included in this classification are debt securities, equities and short positions that have been acquired mainly for the purpose of selling them in the short term. |
| (f.4) | Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income - |
The Group applies the category of debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income when both of the following conditions are met: |
| • | The instrument is held within a business model, the objective of which is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets. |
| • | The contractual terms of the financial asset meet the SPPI test. |
Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss in the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortized cost, as explained in Note 3.4(f.1). The expected credit loss calculation for debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income is explained in Note 3.4(h)(iii). When the Group holds more than one investment in the same security, they are deemed to be disposed of on a “first-in first-out” basis. On derecognition, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. |
| (f.5) | Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income - |
Upon initial recognition , the Group occasionally elects to classify irrevocably some of its equity investments as equity instruments at at fair value through other comprehensive income when not held for trading. Such classification is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis. |
Gains and losses on these equity instruments are never recycled to profit even when the asset is sold. Dividends are recognized in the consolidated statement of income as income when the right of the payment has been established, except when the Group benefits from such proceeds as a recovery of part of the cost of the instrument, in which case, such gains are recorded in other comprehensive income. Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are not subject to and impairment assessment. |
| (f.6) | Financial liabilities - |
After initial measurement, financial liabilities, except those measured at fair value through profit or loss; see (f.7), are measured at amortized cost. Amortized cost includes commissions and interest, transaction lost and any other premium or discount. A compound financial instrument which contains both a liability and an equity component is separated at the issue date. |
The Group first establishes whether the instrument is a compound instrument and classifies such instrument’s components separately as financial liabilities, financial assets, or equity instruments in accordance with IAS 32. Classification of the liability and equity components of a convertible instrument is not revised as a result of a change in the likelihood that a conversion option will be exercised, even when exercising the option may appear to have become economically advantageous to some holders. When allocating the initial carrying amount of a compound financial instrument to the equity and liability components, the equity component is assigned as the residual amount after deducting from the entire fair value of the instrument, the amount separately determined for the liability component. The value of any derivative features (such as call options) embedded in the compound financial instrument, other than the equity component (such as an equity conversion option), is included in the liability component. Once the Group has determined the split between equity and liability, it further assesses whether the liability component has embedded derivatives that must be accounted for separately. |
| (f.7) | Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss - |
Financial assets and financial liabilities in this category are those that are not held for trading and have been either designated by Management upon initial recognition or are mandatorily required to be measured at fair value under IFRS 9. Management designates an instrument at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition when one of the following criteria is met: |
| • | The designation eliminates, or significantly reduces, the inconsistent treatment that would otherwise arise from measuring the assets or liabilities or recognizing gains or losses on them on a different basis, or |
| • | The liabilities are part of a group of financial liabilities which are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair-value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy, or |
| • | The liabilities contain one or more embedded derivatives, unless they do not significantly modify the cash flows that would otherwise be required by the contract. |
Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded in profit and loss with the exception of movements in fair value of liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss due to changes in the Group’s own credit risk. Such changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income and do not get reclassified to profit or loss. Interest accrued on assets that must be measured at fair value through profit or loss is recorded using the contractual interest rate. Dividend income from equity instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss is recorded in profit or loss as “Interest and similar income”; see Note 19, when the right to the collection has been established. |
| (f.8) | Financial guarantees and letters of credit - |
| The Group issues financial guarantees, and letters of credit. |
| Financial guarantees are initially recognized in the consolidated financial statements (within provisions) at fair value, which is equivalent to the commission received. Subsequent to initial recognition, the recognized liability is measured at the higher amount between: a) amount initially recognized less its cumulative amortization; and b) an Expected Credit Loss (“ECL”) provision determined as set out in Note 3.4(h)(ii). |
| The commission received is recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the caption “Fee income from financial services, net” on a straight-line basis over the life of the guarantee. |
| Letters of credit are commitments under which, over the duration of the commitment, the Group is required to provide a loan with pre-specified terms to the customer. Similar to financial guarantee contracts, these contracts are within the scope of the ECL requirements. |
| The nominal contractual value of financial guarantees and letters of credit, where the loan agreed to be provided is on market terms, is not recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position. The nominal values of these instruments together with the corresponding ECLs are disclosed in Note 6(d). |
| (f.9) | Reclassification of financial assets and liabilities - |
| The reclassification of financial assets will take place as long as the business model that manages the financial assets is changed. It is expected that this change is very rare. These changes are determined by Management because of external or internal changes and must be significant for the Group’s operations and demonstrable to third parties. Consequently, a change in the Group’s business model will take place only when it begins or ceases to carry out an activity that is significant for its operations. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group has not reclassified its financial assets after their initial recognition. Financial liabilities are never reclassified. |
| (f.10) | Repurchase agreements - |
| Securities sold under repurchase agreements on a specified future date are not derecognized from the consolidated statement of financial position since the Group retains substantially all of the risks and rewards inherent to its ownership. Cash received is recognized as an asset with the corresponding obligation to return it, including accrued interest, as a liability, reflecting the transaction’s economic substance as a loan to the Group. The difference between the sale and repurchase price is recorded as interest expense and is accrued over the life of the agreement using the effective interest rate and is recognized in the caption “Interest and similar expenses” of the consolidated statement of income. |
| As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group did not keep any repurchase agreements. |
| (g) | Modification of financial assets and liabilities - |
| (g.1) | Modification of financial assets - |
| When the contractual cash flows of a financial asset are renegotiated or otherwise modified as a result of commercial restructuring activity rather than due to credit risk and impairment considerations, the Group performs an assessment to determine whether the modifications result in the derecognition of the financial asset. For financial assets, this assessment is based on qualitative factors. |
| When assessing whether or not to derecognize a loan to a customer, among others, the Group considers the following factors: |
| • | Change in the loan’s currency. |
| • | Introduction of an equity feature. |
| • | Change in customer’s credit risk. |
| • | If the modification is such that the instrument would no longer meet the SPPI criterion. |
| In addition, the Group evaluates whether there is a material change based on quantitative factors considering whether the present value of the discounted cash flows under the original effective interest rate and the new conditions differs by at least 10 percent from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial asset. This follows an analogy on the orientation of changes in financial liabilities. This method applies to all contractual changes to financial assets, regardless of the reason for the change. |
| The Group made modifications to its agreements with its customers as permitted by the SBS, through its subsidiary Interbank, and performed an analysis described above. The results derived from this evaluation are recognized in profit or loss in the account “Impact from the modification of contractual cash flows due to the loan rescheduling schemes”, in the caption “Interest income and similar”, see note 19. |
| The Group made modifications of its agreements with clients as requested by the SBS and subsequently performed an analysis to assess whether there were cash flows modifications. The amounts resulting from this assessment were recognized as expenses in the impact of the modification of the contractual cash flows due to the rescheduling in the loan payment schemes in Note 19. |
| (g.2) | Modification of financial liabilities - |
| When the modification of the terms of an existing financial liability is not judged to be substantial and, consequently, does not result in derecognition, the amortized cost of the financial liability is recalculated by computing the present value of estimated future contractual cash flows that are discounted at the financial liability’s original EIR. Any resulting difference is recognized immediately in profit or loss. |
| Regarding the financial liabilities, the Group considers a substantial amendment based on qualitative factors and provided it exists a difference between the present value of the discounted cash flows under the new conditions and the original book value of the financial liability is larger than ten percent. |
| (h) | Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities - |
| (h.1) | Derecognition due to substantial change in terms and conditions - |
| The Group derecognizes a financial asset, such as a loan to a customer, when the terms and conditions have been renegotiated to the extent that, substantially, it becomes a new loan, with the difference recognized as a derecognition gain or loss, to the extent that an impairment loss has not already been recorded. |
| (h.2) | Derecognition other than for substantial modification - |
| (h.2.1) | Financial assets |
| A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have expired. |
| The Group has transferred the financial asset if, and only if, either: |
| • | Has transferred its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset, or |
| • | It retains the rights to the cash flows, but has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement. |
| Pass-through arrangements are transactions whereby the Group retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of a financial asset (the ‘original asset’), but assumes a contractual obligation to pay those cash flows to one or more entities (the ‘eventual recipients’), when all of the following conditions are met: |
| • | The Group has no obligation to pay amounts to the eventual recipients unless it has collected equivalent amounts from the original asset. |
| • | The Group cannot sell or pledge the original asset other than as security to the eventual recipients. |
| • | The Group has to remit any cash flows it collects on behalf of the eventual recipients without material delay. In addition, the Group is not entitled to reinvest such cash flows, except for investments in cash or cash equivalents including interest earned, during the period between the collection date and the date of agreed revision with the eventual recipients. |
| • | The Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or |
| • | The Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. |
| (h.2.2) | Financial liabilities |
| (i) | Impairment of financial assets - |
| (i) | Overview of the expected credit loss principles - |
| • | Financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. |
| • | Financial assets that are measured at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income if the following two conditions are met: |
| (i) | The financial asset is maintained within a business model whose objective is achieved by obtaining contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and |
| (ii) | The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are only payments of the principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount. |
| • | Accounts receivable from leases. |
| • | Assets from contracts. |
| • | Financial guarantee contracts. |
| • | Cash and due from banks. |
| • | Inter-bank funds. |
| • | Financial investments; see Notes 3.4(f), 5 and 30.1(e). |
| • | Loans; see Notes 3.4(f.1), 6 and 30.1(d). |
| • | Due from customers on acceptances. |
| • | Other accounts receivable and other assets. |
| (ii) | Calculation of ECL - |
| • | PD (“Probability of default”) is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. A default may only happen at a certain time over the assessed period, if the financial asset has not been previously derecognized and is still in the portfolio. The definition of PD is further explained in Note 29.1(d). |
| • | EAD (“Exposure at default”) is an estimate of the exposure at a future default date, taking into account expected changes in the exposure after the reporting date, including repayments of principal and interest, whether scheduled by contract or otherwise, expected drawdowns on committed facilities, and accrued interest from missed payments. The definition of EAD is further explained in Note 29.1(d). |
| • | LGD (“Loss Given Default”) is an estimate of the loss arising in the case where a default occurs at a given time. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the lender would expect to receive, including from the realization of any collateral. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the EAD. The definition of LGD is further explained in Note 29.1(d). |
| • | Stage 1: The provision for credit losses of those financial instruments that do not show a significant increase in risk since the initial recognition, will be calculated as the expected credit losses in the following 12 months. The group calculates the expectation that there is a probability of default (PD) in the 12 months after the reporting date. To this probability of default is multiplied and expected loss in case of default (LGD) and exposure on the date of default (EAD) and discounting the original effective interest rate. This calculation is made for each of the three scenarios (optimistic, base and pessimistic) defined by the Group. |
| • | Stage 2: When the financial instrument shows a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the provision of credit losses of this financial instrument will be calculated as the expected credit loss throughout the life of this asset. The calculation method is similar to that for Stage 1, including the use of multiple scenarios, but expected credit loss is estimated over the lifetime of the instrument. |
| • | Stage 3: When there is objective evidence that the financial instrument is impaired, the provision of credit losses will be calculated as the expected credit loss over the life of the asset. The method is similar to that for Stage 2, with the PD set at 100 percent. |

| (vi) | Valuation of guarantees - |
| (vii) | Write-offs - |
| (viii) | Refinanced and modified loans - |
| (j) | Hedge derivatives - |
| (i) | The hedging relationship consists of only hedging instruments and eligible hedged items. |
| (ii) | At the inception of the hedge, there is formal designation and documentation of the hedging relationship and the entity’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. This documentation will include the identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged, and the way the entity will assess if the hedging relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements. |
| (iii) | The hedging relationship meets all the following hedge effectiveness requirements: |
| • | There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument. |
| • | The effect of the credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship. |
| • | The hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the entity actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the entity actually uses to hedge that quantity of the hedged item. |
| (k) | Leases - |
| (i) | The Group as a lessee - |
| • | Right-of-use assets - |
| • | Lease liabilities - |
| • | Determination of the lease term for lease contracts with renewal and termination options The Group as a lessee determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised. The Group applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination. After the commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control that affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate (e.g., construction of significant leasehold improvements or significant customization of the leased asset). |
| • | Estimating the incremental borrowing rate To determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate - “IBR” to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Group ‘would have to pay’, which requires estimation when no observable rates are available or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease (for example, when leases are not in the subsidiary’s functional currency).The Group estimates the IBR using observable inputs such as the free-risk interest rates, Peruvian government yield curves of global bonds (in Dollars) and sovereign bonds (in Soles), and a credit risk differential, using a spread on the most recent debt issuance. |

17. |
Tax situation |
| (a) | IFS and its Subsidiaries are incorporated and domiciled in the Republic of Panama and the Commonwealth of the Bahamas (see Note 2), and are not subject to any Income Tax, or any other taxes on capital gains, equity or property. The Subsidiaries incorporated and domiciled in Peru (see Note 2) are subject to the Peruvian Tax legislation; see paragraph (c). |
| (b) | Legal entities or individuals not domiciled in Peru are subject to an additional tax (equivalent to 5 percent) on dividends received from entities domiciled in Peru. The corresponding tax is withheld by the entity that distributes the dividends. In this regard, since IFS controls the entities that distribute the dividends, it records the amount of Income Tax on dividends as an expense for the financial year of the dividends received. In this sense, during 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company has recorded a provision for S/ |
| (c) | IFS’s Subsidiaries incorporated in Peru are subject to the payment of Peruvian taxes; hence, they must calculate their tax expenses on the basis of their separate financial statements. The Income Tax rate as of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, was |
| (d) | The Tax Authority (henceforth “SUNAT”, by its Spanish acronym) is legally entitled to perform tax audit procedures for up to four years subsequent to the date at which the tax return regarding a taxable period must be filed. |
| • | Interbank: Income Tax returns for the years 2020 to 2023, and Value-Added-Tax returns for the years 2018 to 2023. |
| • | Interseguro: Income Tax returns for the years 2019, 2021 ,2022 and 2023, and Value-Added-Tax returns for the years 2019 to 2023. |
| • | Procesos de Medios de Pago: Income Tax returns, and Value-Added-Tax returns for the years 2019 to 2023. |
| • | Izipay: Income Tax returns and Value-Added-Tax returns for the years 2019 to 2023. |
| (e) | Peruvian life insurance companies are exempted from the Income Tax on income from assets related to technical reserves for the payment of annuities and retirement, disability and survival annuities of the Private Pension Fund Administration System. |
| (f) | For the purpose of determining the Income Tax, the transfer prices of transactions with related companies and with companies domiciled in countries or territories that are non-cooperating or low or zero tax countries or territories, or with entities or permanent establishments whose income, revenues or gains from said contracts are subject to a preferential tax regime, must be supported by documented information on the valuation methods used and the criteria considered for their determination. On the basis of the analysis of the operations of the Group, Management and its internal legal advisors believe that, as a consequence of the application of these standards, contingencies of importance will not arise for the Subsidiaries domiciled in Peru as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. |
| (g) | Through Legislative Decree No.1381, published on August 24, 2018, it was incorporated in the Income Tax Act the concept of “non-cooperating” countries or territories and preferential tax regimes to which defensive measures already existing for countries and territories with low or zero taxation are imposed. |
| (h) | In July 2018, Act No. 30823 was published, whereby the Congress delegated power to the Executive Branch to legislate on various issues, including tax and financial matters. In this sense, the main tax regulations issued are the following: |
| (i) | Beginning on January 1, 2019, the treatment applicable to royalties and remuneration for services rendered by non-domiciled persons was modified, eliminating the obligation to pay the amount equivalent to the withholding due to the accounting record of the cost or expense. Now the Income Tax is withheld at the payment of the compensation. For said cost or expense to be deductible for the local company, the remuneration must have been paid to the filing date of the annual tax return for the Income Tax (Legislative Decree No. 1369). |
| (ii) | The rules that regulate the obligation of legal persons and/or legal entities to inform the identification of their final beneficiaries (Legislative Decree No. 1372) were established. These rules are applicable to legal entities domiciled in the country, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 of the Income Tax Act, and legal entities established in the country. The obligation covers non-domiciled legal entities and legal entities established abroad, provided that: a) they have a branch, agency or other permanent establishment in the country; b) the natural or juridical person who manages the autonomous patrimony or the investment funds from abroad, or the natural or legal person who has the status of trustee or administrator, is domiciled in the country; and c) any of the members of a consortium is domiciled in the country. This obligation will be fulfilled through the presentation to SUNAT of an informative Sworn Statement, which must contain the information of the final beneficiary and be submitted, in accordance with the regulations and within the deadlines established by SUNAT. |
| (iii) | The Tax Code was amended with the purpose of offering taxpayers more assurance regarding the application of the general anti-avoidance rule (Rule XVI of the Preliminary Title of the Tax Code), as well as to provide SUNAT with tools for its effective implementation (Legislative Decree No.1422). |
| (iv) | Amendments to the Income Tax Act were included, effective as of January 1, 2019, to improve the tax treatment applicable to the following (Legislative Decree No. 1424): |
| • | Income obtained from the indirect transfer of shares of stock or capital representing participations of legal persons domiciled in the country. Among the most significant changes is the inclusion of a new indirect sale assumption, which is triggered when the total amount of the shares of the domiciled legal entity whose indirect disposal is made is equal to or higher than |
| • | Permanent establishments of sole proprietorships, companies and entities of any nature incorporated abroad. For this purpose, new cases of permanent establishment have been included, among them, when the rendering of services in the country occurs, with respect to the same project, service or related one, for a period that exceeds 183 calendar days in total within any period of twelve months. |
| • | The system of credits against Income Tax for taxes paid abroad, to be included in the indirect tax credit (corporate tax paid by foreign subsidiaries) as credit applicable against the Income Tax of domiciled legal persons, to avoid double economic taxation. |
| • | The deduction of interest expenses for the determination of corporate Income Tax. In the years 2019 and 2020, if the debt limit is set at up to three times the net equity as of December 31 of the previous year, it will be applicable, both to loans with related parties, and to loans with third parties contracted since September 14, 2018. Beginning in 2021, the limit for the deduction of financial expenses shall be equivalent to and public services, among others. |
| • | Supreme Decree No. 402-2021-EF, published on December 30, 2021, and in effect since December 31, 2021, modified the Regulation of the Income Tax Act that regulates the calculation of the taxable EBITDA regarding the limit of debt interest. |
| (v) | Regulations have been established for the accrual of income and expenses for tax purposes beginning on January 1, 2019 (Legislative Decree No. 1425). Until year 2018, there was no rule definition of this concept, so in many cases accounting rules were used for its interpretation. In general terms, with the new criterion, for the purpose of determining the Income Tax, it shall be considered whether the substantial events for the generation of income or expense agreed upon by the parties have occurred, provided they are not subject to a subsequent condition, in which case the recognition shall take place when it is fulfilled and when collection or payment is to take place will not be taken into account; and, if the determination of the consideration depends on a future action or event, the total or part of the corresponding income or expense will be deferred until that action or event occurs. |
| (i) | Supreme Decree No. 430-2020-EF, published on December 31, 2020, approved the Regulation that establishes the financial information that companies of the financial system must provide to SUNAT in the fight against tax evasion and avoidance pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 1434. Such Regulation entered into force on January 1, 2021. |
| (j) | Law No. 31106 extends until December 31, 2023, the validity of all exemptions in force to date contained in Article 19 of the Income Tax Act. |
| (k) | Legislative Decree No. 1529 was published on March 3, 2022, amending the Bankarization Act in order to promote the use of payment means and reduce the minimum amount for the use of payment means, according to the following: |
| • | The minimum amount for the use of Payment Means is two thousand Soles (S/ |
| • | With the purpose of improving the coverage of payment methods and thus broaden the range of traceable operations, Article 3 of the Bankarization Act was amended in order to point out that payment of amounts of money in operations included in said article, for amounts equivalent or higher than |
| • | The payment of obligations to non-domiciled natural and/or legal persons that must be performed through payment methods contemplated by said Act must be performed through either the Financial System Entities (“FSE”), or non-domiciled banking or finance companies, in the cases that the subject performs foreign trade operations, including the obligations derived from the acquisition of property and rights related to the holding of shares and other transferable securities. |
| • | The use of payment methods is deemed complied with only if the payment is performed directly to the lender, supplier and/or service provider, or when said payment is made to a third party designated by the former, provided that such designation is informed to SUNAT prior to the Payment. |
| • | In no case is the obligation to use payment methods pursuant to the Act deemed complied with when the payments are performed through banking or finance companies domiciled in either non-cooperating countries or territories, with low or zero taxation, or permanent establishments (PE) in said countries or territories. |
| (l) | Supreme Decree No. 137-2023-EF, published on June 29, 2023, amends Article 30 of the Regulation of the Income Tax Act, which regulates the tax rates applicable to operations with non-domiciled parties. The amendment updates the use of the SOFR rate as the predominant preferential rate for the purpose of applying the reduced tax rate of 4.99 percent. Said supreme decree entered into effect on June 30, 2023. |

Financial risk management |
| • | Credit risk: possibility of loss due to inability or failure to pay debtors, counterparts or third parties bound to comply with their contractual obligations. |
| • | Market risk: probability of loss in positions on and off the consolidated statement of financial position derived from variations in market conditions; generally includes the following types of risk: exchange rate, fair value by interest rate, price, among others. |
| • | Liquidity risk: possibility of loss due to noncompliance with the requirements of financing and fund application that arise from mismatches of cash flows. |
| • | Insurance risk: possibility that the actual cost of claims and payments will differ from the estimates. |
| • | Real estate risk: possibility of significant loss in rental income due to the insolvency of the lessee or, a decrease in the market value of real estate investments. |
| • | The quality and comprehensiveness of IFS’s financial statements, including its disclosures. |
| • | The existence of adequate procedures to assess, objectively and periodically, the effectiveness of the internal control system over the financial report. |
| • | The compliance of the legal and regulatory framework. |
| • | The qualification and independence of external auditors. |
| • | The performance of external auditors. |
| • | The implementation by Management of an adequate internal control system, particularly the internal control system over the financial report. |
| (a) | Structure and organization of risk management - |
| (i) | Interbank - |
| (ii) | Interseguro - |
| (iii) | Inteligo Bank - |
| (iv) | Izipay - |
| (b) | Risk measurement and reporting systems - |
| (c) | Risk mitigation and risk coverage - |
| • | Policies, procedures, methodologies, models and parameters aimed to allow for the identification, measurement, control and reporting of diverse financial risks; |
| • | Review and assessment of diverse financial risks through specialized units of risk screening; |
| • | Timely monitoring and tracking of diverse financial risks and their maintenance within a defined tolerance level; |
| • | Compliance with regulatory limits and establishment of internal limits for exposure concentration; and |
| • | Procedures for managing guarantees. |
| (d) | Risk concentration - |
| 29.1 | Credit risk |
| (a) | The Group opts for a credit risk policy that ensures sustained and profitable growth in all its products and the business segments it operates. In doing so, it applies assessment procedures for adequate decision-making, and uses tools and methodologies that allow the identification, measurement, mitigation and control of the different risks in the most efficient manner. Likewise, the Group regularly incorporates, develops and reviews management models that allow an adequate measurement, quantification and monitoring of the loans granted by each business unit and also encourages the continuous improvement of its policies, tools, methodologies and processes. Additionally, as a consequence of the political, economic and social context that arose during 2022 and 2021, see Note 1(b), and the high uncertainty of the intensity of the El Niño event in 2023, the behavior and performance of the expected credit losses of the retail and commercial clients has been affected, thus requiring a greater monitoring of results, which has also required certain subsequent adjustments to the expected loss model to be able to capture the effects of the current situation, which has generated a high level of uncertainty in the estimation of the loans expected loss. |
| (b) | The Group is exposed to credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty causes a financial loss by failing to comply with an obligation. Credit risk is the most important risk for the Group’s business; therefore, Management carefully manages its exposure to credit risk, which arises mainly in lending activities that lead to loans and investment activities that contribute with securities and other financial instruments to the Group’s asset portfolio. There is also credit risk in the financial instruments out of the consolidated statement of financial position, such as contingent credits (indirect loans), which expose the Group to risks similar to those of direct loans, being mitigated with the same control processes and policies. Likewise, credit risk arising from derivative financial instruments is, at any time, limited to those with positive fair values, as recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position. |
| • | Easy convertibility into cash. |
| • | Proper legal documentation, duly registered with the corresponding public registry. |
| • | Do not have previous obligations that could reduce their value. |
| • | Their fair value must be updated. |
| (c) | Maximum exposure to credit risk - |

| • | are deemed non-past due and non-impaired. |
| • | In addition, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group holds loans (direct and indirect) and investments in fixed income instruments issued by entities related to the infrastructure sector that, in recent years, have been exposed to local and international events. As of December 31, 2023 the loans amount approximately to S/ |
| (d) | Impairment assessment for loan portfolios - |
| • | All direct and indirect (contingent) loans related to stand-by letters, guarantees, bank guarantees and letters of credit; except loans under legal collection do not have a payment agreement and specifically, certain clients that belong to the infrastructure sector. |
| • | Debt instruments measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. |
| • | Probability of Default (PD): It is the likelihood of a default over a particular time horizon that the counterpart will be unable to meet its debt obligations in a certain term and with it is cataloged as default. |
| • | Loss Given Default (LGD): Measures the loss in percentage terms on total exposure at default (see Exposure at default). |
| • | Exposure at Default (EAD): Represents the total value that the Group can lose upon default of a counterpart. |
| (d.1) | Definition of default: |
| • | The borrower is unlikely to pay their credit obligations to the Group in full, without recourse by the Group to actions such as realizing guarantee (if applicable); or |
| • | The borrower is past due by more than 90 days on any material credit obligation to the Group. |
| • | Qualitative: contracts in judicial and prejudicial proceedings. |
| • | Quantitative: contracts in default for more than 90 days; and |
| • | Based on data prepared internally and obtained from external sources such as: |
| • | Significant changes in indicators of credit risk |
| • | Significant changes in external market indicators |
| • | Real or expected significant change in the external and/or internal credit rating |
| • | Existing or forecast adverse changes in the business, economic or financial conditions that are expected to cause a significant change in the borrower’s ability to meet its debt obligations. |
| • | Real or expected significant change in the operating results of the borrower |
| • | Existing or future adverse changes in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the borrower that results in a significant change in its ability to meet its debt obligations. |
| • | Financial assets moving from Stage 1 to Stage 2 or Stage 3 because there has been a significant increase in their risk since initial recognition or they present impairment at the analysis date, respectively. As a result, lifetime expected losses are calculated. |
| • | Impact on the measurement of expected losses due to changes in PD, EAD and LGD resulting from the update of the inputs used. |
| • | Impact on the measurement of expected losses due to changes in the models and assumptions used. |
| • | Additional provisions for new financial instruments reported during the period. |
| • | Periodic reversals of the discount of expected losses due to the passage of time, as they are measured based on the present value. |
| • | Financial assets written off during the period. |
| • | Exchange difference arising from financial assets denominated in foreign currency. |

| • | Criteria are able to identify significant increases in credit risk before an exposure is in default; |
| • | The average time between the identification of a significant increase in credit risk and default is reasonable; |
| • | Exposures usually do not transfer directly from the measurement of 12-month expected losses to impaired loans; and |
| • | There is no unjustified volatility in the allocation of expected credit losses between the measurement of 12-month expected credit losses and lifetime expected credit losses. |

| (b) | Real estate risk management - |
| • | The cost to develop a project may increase if there are delays in the planning process; however, Interseguro receives services from advisors to reduce the risks that may arise in the planning process. |
| • | A major lessee may become insolvent, thus causing a significant loss in rental income and a reduction in the value of the associated property. To reduce this risk, Interseguro reviews the financial position of all prospective lessees and decides on the appropriate level of safety required, such as lease deposits or guarantees. |
| • | The fair values of the investment property could be affected by the cash flows generated by the tenants and/or lessees, as well as by the economic conditions of Peru and future expectations. |

| (i) | Long-term fixed-rate and variable-rate loans are assessed by the Group based on parameters such as interest rates, specific country risk factors, individual creditworthiness of the customer and the risk characteristics of the financed project. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken into account for the estimated losses of these loans. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the book value of loans, net of allowances, was not significantly different from the calculated fair values. |
| (ii) | Instruments whose fair value approximates their book value: For financial assets and financial liabilities that are liquid or have short-term maturity (less than 3 months) it is assumed that the carrying amounts approximate to their fair values. This assumption is also applied to demand deposits, savings accounts without a specific maturity and variable-rate financial instruments. |
| (iii) | Fixed-rate financial instruments: The fair value of fixed-rate financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost is determined by comparing market interest rates when they were first recognized with current market rates related to similar financial instruments for their remaining term to maturity. The fair value of fixed-interest-rate deposits is based on discounted cash flows using market interest rates for financial instruments with similar credit risk and maturity. For quoted debt issued, the fair value is determined based on quoted market prices. When quotations are not available, a discounted cash flow model is used based on the yield curve of the appropriate interest rate for the remaining term to maturity. |
