Dear Ms. Hayes:
On behalf of Banco Santander-Chile (“Santander-Chile” or the “Bank”), we acknowledge receipt by Santander of the letter dated April 3, 2013 (the “Comment Letter”) of the Staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the above referenced Annual Report on Form 20-F of Santander-Chile.
Santander-Chile is working to respond to the Comment Letter. However, the Bank has advised us that it will require additional time to consider and respond to the Staff’s comments. Accordingly, on behalf of Santander-Chile, we respectfully request an extension of time to respond to the Comment Letter to April 29, 2013.
We are grateful for the Staff’s accommodation in this matter. Please do not hesitate to call me at (212) 450-4950 with any questions you may have.
