NOTE 01 - CORPORATE INFORMATION Banco Santander-Chile is a banking corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Chile, supervised by the Financial Market Commission (FMC). It is also subject to the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States of America (SEC), considering the Bank is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) through an American Depositary Receipt (ADR) program. Banco Santander Spain manages Banco Santander Chile through its shareholdings in Teatinos Siglo XXI Inversiones S.A. and Santander Chile Holding S.A., both subsidiaries controlled by Banco Santander Spain. As of September 30, 2024, Banco Santander Spain directly or indirectly owns 99.8% of Santander Chile Holding S.A. and 100% of Teatinos Siglo XXI Inversiones S.A., which allows Banco Santander Spain control over 67.18% of the Bank's shares. The Bank provides its clients with a wide range of general banking services, from individuals to large corporations. In addition, Banco Santander-Chile and its affiliates (collectively referred to as 'Bank' or 'Santander-Chile' hereafter) offer consumer and commercial banking services, as well as other services, including factoring, collection, leasing, securities and insurance brokerage, brokerage of mutual and investment fund and investment banking. The Bank's legal address is Calle Bandera No 140 Santiago de Chile, and its website is www.santander.cl. NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 1. Basis of preparation These Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared following the Compendium of Accounting Standards for Banks (CASB), in its version applicable as of January 2022, as well as the instructions issued by the FMC. The FMC, under Law No 21,000, provides in numeral 6 of article 5 that the Financial Market Commission may set the rules for the preparation and presentation of the annual reports, balance sheets, statements of financial position and other financial statements of the supervised entities and determines the principles according to which companies must keep their accounts. Regarding all matters that are not covered by this regulation, if they do not conflict with its instructions, then they must adhere to generally accepted accounting criteria corresponding to the technical standards issued by the Chilean Association of Accountants AG, which coincide with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) agreed by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). In case of discrepancies between the accounting principles and the accounting criteria issued by the FMC in its Compendium of Accounting Standards for Banks and instructions, the latter shall prevail. The Bank uses certain currency terms and conventions for these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. Thus, 'USD' stands for 'US dollar', 'EUR' stands for 'euro', 'CNY' stands for 'Chinese yuan', 'JPY' stands for 'Japanese yen', 'CHF' stands for 'Swiss franc', 'AUD' stands for 'Australian dollar' and 'UF' stands for 'Unidad de Fomento de Chile'. The notes in the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements contain information in addition to that presented in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, Interim Consolidated Income Statements, Interim Consolidated Statements of Other Comprehensive Income, Interim Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity and Interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. They provide narrative descriptions or disaggregation of such states in a clear, relevant, reliable and comparable manner. 2. Basis of preparation of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023 incorporate the interim individual financial statements of the Bank and its controlled entities (affiliates) and include the adjustments, reclassifications, and eliminations necessary to comply with the accounting and measurement criteria established by IFRS 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements'. Control is achieved when the Bank: i. Has power over the investee (that is, it has rights that grant it the present capacity to manage the relevant activities of the investee); ii. Has exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and iii. Has the ability to use its power over the investee to influence the amount of the investor's returns. The Bank reassesses whether it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above. For example, when the Bank has less than most of the voting rights in an investee, but those voting rights are sufficient to have the ability to direct the relevant activities, then it is concluded that the Bank has control. The Bank considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether the Bank's voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power. These include: Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements September 2024 / Banco Santander-Chile 12
NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued • The size of the Bank's holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders. • The potential voting rights held by the Bank, other vote holders or other parties. • The rights arising from other contractual agreements. • Any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Bank has or does not have the current ability to direct the relevant activities when decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders' meetings. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Bank obtains control of the subsidiary and ceases when the Bank cedes control. Specifically, the income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Income and Interim Consolidated Statements of Other Comprehensive Income from the date the Bank gains control until the date the Bank ceases to control the subsidiary. Profit or loss alongside each component of the Interim Consolidated Statements of Other Comprehensive Income is attributed to the Bank's holders and non-controlling interest. The total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Bank and the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit in certain circumstances. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of the subsidiaries to ensure their accounting standards are consistent with the Bank's accounting standards. All balances and transactions between consolidated entities are eliminated. Changes in the consolidated entities' participation that do not result in the loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Accordingly, the book value of the Bank’s equity holders and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in participation over subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration being paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the equity owners of the Bank. The non-controlling interest represents the participation of third parties in the Bank's consolidated equity, which is presented in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity. Their share of the result for the year is shown as 'Profit attributable to non- controlling interest' in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Income. The following table shows the composition of the entities over which the Bank can exercise control and, therefore, form part of the consolidation perimeter: i.

NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued ii. Entities controlled by the Bank through other considerations The following companies have been consolidated based on the fact that the Bank determines their relevant activities (these are companies complementary to the banking sector) and, therefore, over which the Bank exercises control: • Santander Gestión de Recaudación y Cobranza Limitada: its exclusive activity is administering and collecting loans. • Multiplica SpA: its primary purpose is the development of incentive programs that encourage the use of payment cards. • Pagonxt Payments Chile SpA: the purpose of the Company is the provision of data processing and transmission services, databases and resources, among other services. iii. Associated entities An associate is an entity over which the Bank can exercise significant influence but not control or joint control. This capacity is usually manifested in a 20% or more interest in the entity's voting rights and is accounted for using the equity method in accordance with IAS 28 ‘Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures’. The following entities in which the Bank has an interest and are recognized using the equity method are considered 'associates': Place of incorporation ans operation % Percentage of ownership As of September 30, As of December 31, As of September 30, Name of associated entity Main Activity 2024 2023 2023 Redbanc S.A.

Share or rights in other companies Entities over which the Bank has no control or significant influence are presented in this category. These equity instruments must be measured at fair value in compliance with IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’. Nevertheless, the Bank may consider the cost an appropriate fair value estimate in concrete circumstances. This may be the case if the most recently available information is insufficient to measure the fair value or if a wide range of possible fair value measurements and the cost involved represents the best estimate of fair value within that range. In another regard, the Bank may make an irrevocable decision to present subsequent changes to the fair value in other comprehensive income during its initial recognition. Subsequent changes in this valuation shall be recognized in 'Accumulated other comprehensive income - Items that will not be reclassified to profit or loss'. Dividends received from these investments are recorded in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Income under 'Result from investments in companies'. These instruments are not subject to the IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ impairment model.

NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued 3. Non-controlling interest Non-controlling interest represents the portion of net income and net assets the Bank does not own, either directly or indirectly. It is presented separately in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Income and separately from the equity in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. In the case of entities controlled by the Bank through other considerations, profit and equity are presented fully as a non-controlling interest. This is because the Bank controls them, but has no ownership expressed as a percentage. 4. Reporting segments The Bank's operating segments are those units whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the highest level of management regarding decision-making. Accordingly, two or more operating segments can be added into one only when the aggregation is consistent with the basic principle under the IFRS 8 'Operating Segments' and if the segments have similar economic characteristics and are alike in each one of the following aspects: i. The nature of the products and service. ii. The nature of production processes. iii. The type of customer category for which its products and services are intended. iv. The methods used to distribute their products or provide services. v. If applicable, the nature of the regulatory framework, e.g., banking, insurance, utilities. The Bank reports separately for each operating segment that meets any of the following quantitative thresholds: i. Its reported revenues from ordinary activities, including both sales to external clients and inter-segment sales or transactions, equal or exceed 10% of the combined revenues from all operating segments' ordinary internal and external activities. ii. The amount of its reported results is, in absolute terms, equal to or greater than 10% of the greater of (i) the combined profit reported by all operating segments that have not reported a loss; and (ii) the combined loss reported by all operating segments that have reported a loss. iii. Its assets equal or exceed 10% of the combined assets of all operating segments. Operating segments that do not meet any of the quantitative thresholds may be considered reportable segments. The information must be disclosed separately if management believes it would be helpful to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements users. Information regarding other business activities that do not correspond to reportable segments is combined and disclosed within the Corporate Activities category 'other'. Concerning the above, the Bank's segments were obtained under the consideration that an operating segment is a component of an entity that: i. Engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses from transactions with other elements of the same entity). ii. Whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief executive officer, who makes decisions about resources allocated to the segment and assesses its performance. iii. For which discrete financial information is available 5. Functional and presentation currency The Bank, in 'The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates' in IAS 21, has defined the Chilean Peso as its functional and presentation currency, as this is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Bank operates, as well as the currency that influences the cost and revenue structure. Therefore, all balances and transactions denominated in currencies other than the Chilean Peso are considered 'foreign currency'. Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements September 2024 / Banco Santander-Chile 15
NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued 6. Transactions in foreign currency The Bank conducts transactions in amounts denominated in foreign currencies, mainly US dollars. The assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held by the Bank and its affiliates are translated into Chilean Pesos at the market exchange rate corresponding to the end of the reported month (spot rate), which amounted to $874.45 per US$ for September 30, 2024($849.59 for September 2023 and $874,45 for December 2023). For all other currencies, an external price provider is used. The net foreign exchange gain and loss includes recognizing the effects of exchange rate changes on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and the profit and loss on foreign exchange spot and forward transactions undertaken by the Bank. 7. Cash and cash equivalents The indirect method is used to prepare the Interim Consolidated Cash Flow Statements, starting with the Bank's consolidated pre-tax income, and then incorporating non-cash transactions, cash-flow-related income, and expense of activities classified as investments or financing. The following items are taken into consideration in the preparation of the Interim Consolidated Cash Flow Statements: i. Cash flows: inflows and outflows of cash and cash equivalents, defined as balances in items such as deposits with the Central Bank of Chile, deposits in domestic banks and deposits abroad. ii. Operating activities: these are the normal activities carried out by banks alongside other activities that cannot be classified as investments or financing. iii. Investing activities: these correspond to the acquisition, sale or disposal by other means of long-term assets and other investments not included in cash and cash equivalents. iv. Financing activities: those that result in changes to the size and composition of equity and liabilities that are not part of operating or investing activities. 8. Definitions, classification and measurement of financial assets/liabilities i. Definitions A 'financial instrument' is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset in an entity and a financial liability or equity instrument in another entity. A 'financial asset' is any asset that is: (a) cash; (b) an equity instrument of another entity; (c) a contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from another entity or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially favorable to the entity; or (d) a contract that will or may be settled using the entity's own equity instruments. A 'financial liability' is any liability that is: (a) a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavorable to the entity; or (b) a contract that will or may be settled using the entity's equity instruments. An 'equity instrument' is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the issuing entity after deducting all of its liabilities. A 'financial derivative' is a financial instrument whose value fluctuates in response to changes concerning an observed market variable (such as an interest rate, a foreign exchange rate, a financial instrument's price, or a market index, including credit ratings), whose initial investment is minimal compared with other financial instruments with a similar response to changes in market factors, and which is generally settled at a future date. 'Fair value' is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in a transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ii. Initial recognition The Bank shall recognize a financial asset or financial liability only when it becomes part of the contractual terms of the instrument (rights and obligations). A conventional purchase or sale of financial assets shall be recognized using the accounting contract date or settlement date. Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements September 2024 / Banco Santander-Chile 16
NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued iii. Classification of financial assets/liabilities Classification of financial assets Financial assets shall be classified into measurement categories based on the entity's business models for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of said assets. The business model refers to how the Bank manages its financial assets to generate cash flows. In other words, the entity's business model determines whether the cash flows will come by obtaining contractual cash flows, selling financial assets, or both. Assessing the contractual flow characteristics (SPPI test) requires determining whether the asset's contractual flows are solely payments of principal on specified dates and interest on the principal outstanding amounts in the currency in which the financial asset is denominated. The principal is the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition. Nevertheless, the principal amount may change over the life of the financial asset (if there are principal repayments). Interest is the compensation received for the time value of money and the credit risk related to the principal amount owed over a specified period, alongside other risks and administrative costs, and a profit margin. For the assessment, the Bank conducts a Test evaluating whether the contractual flows meet the criteria for a core lending arrangement. The Bank uses its professional assessment and considers relevant factors such as currency, interest rate (fixed or variable) and the period it sets. The assessment of business models is not an instrument-by-instrument ranking approach but at a higher level of aggregation and considers all relevant evidence: model performance, risks affecting performance, and how managers are rewarded, among others. According to the above, the objectives of the business models are: • To hold assets to collect cash flows – through management that produces cash flows by collecting contractual payments throughout the instrument's life. Models with this goal allow for sales if they are infrequent (even if significant in value) or insignificant in value both individually and in aggregate (even if frequent), and even more so if they result from a substantial increment in risk or the risk management of credit concentration. • To maintain financial assets for collection and sale. Per this objective, the entity's key management personnel have decided that the supply of contractual cash flows and the sale of financial assets are essential to achieve the business model's goal. Therefore, there is a higher frequency and value of sales for this purpose. • Other models - financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss if they are not held within a business model whose objective is to hold the assets to collect contractual cash flows or if their objective is achieved by obtaining contractual cash flows and selling financial assets. Assets are managed on a sales basis, and decisions are made on a fair value basis. The Bank classifies its financial assets depending on whether they are subsequently measured at amortized cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income or at fair value through profit or loss. In addition, an irrevocable election may be made at the time of initial recognition of investments in equity instruments to present subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income. Due to the exceptional changes that have taken place in the market's liquidity, and which should remain in the short and medium term, the need arose for the Bank to maintain collateral with a maturity between 2024 to 2026. This is due to the constitution of guarantees related to the Central Bank's Credit Facility Conditional to Incrementing Loans program (FCIC) and the demand to constitute larger technical reserves due to increased demand deposit balances held by the Bank's clients. Therefore, the Bank determined to create a new business model called 'Held to collect investments', which aims to manage these higher levels of liquidity better. The Bank also has both the intention and the ability to hold them to maturity. Classification of financial liabilities An entity shall classify all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortized cost, except for derivative liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss.

NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued Reclassifications Reclassifying financial assets only occurs when the business model for managing financial assets has changed. These changes are determined by top management due to external or internal changes. Financial liabilities are not reclassified. iv. Measurement of financial assets/liabilities Initial measurement Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value (transaction price), plus or minus transaction costs in the case of a financial asset or financial liability that is not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequent measurement of financial assets A financial asset shall subsequently be measured according to the following: (1) Amortized cost A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets to earn cash flows, and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, at specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount. Interest income shall be calculated using the effective interest method. This method applies to financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost (interest income and interest expense). The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or the amortized cost of a financial liability. (2) Fair value through other comprehensive income A financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if the financial asset is held within a business model in which the objective are to obtain the contractual cash flows, to sell financial assets, and if the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, at specified dates, to receive cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount. (3) Fair value through profit or loss A financial asset is measured at fair value through profit or loss unless measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. (4) Irrevocable election to measure at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income. Upon the initial recognition of Investments in equity instruments, a determination may be held to present subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income that would otherwise be measured at fair value through profit or loss when not held for trading, except for dividend income, which is recognized in profit or loss for the period. Gains or losses arising from the de-recognition of these equity instruments are not transferred to profit or loss. Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost, except for derivatives measured at fair value through profit or loss. v. De-recognition of financial assets/liabilities A financial asset shall be derecognized when and only when: (1) The contractual rights to the cash flow from the financial asset expire, or (2) The contractual rights to receive the cash flows of a financial asset are transferred, or it retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of a financial asset but assumes a contractual obligation to pay them to one or more recipients. In this sense, if the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are substantially transferred, the financial asset is derecognized. Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements September 2024 / Banco Santander-Chile 18
NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued In the case of unconditional sales, sales with a repurchase agreement at fair value at the date of the repurchase, sales of financial assets with an acquired call option or sale option issued deeply "out of the money", uses of assets in which the transferor does not retain subordinated financing or grant any type of credit enhancement to the new holder,s and other similar cases, the transferred financial asset is derecognized from the Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, simultaneously recognizing any rights or obligations retained or created as a result of the transfer. In the case of sales of financial assets with a repurchase agreement for a fixed price or for the sale price plus interest, securities lending contracts in which the borrower has the obligation to return the same or similar assets, and other similar cases, the transferred financial asset is not derecognized from the Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and continues to be measured with the criteria used prior to transfer. A financial liability will be derecognized when, and only when, it has been extinguished, that is, when the obligation specified in the corresponding contract has been paid or cancelled or has expired. In the case of loans, the FMC requirements for deregistration will apply, see letter o), VIII. vi. Offsetting a financial asset with a financial liability A financial asset and a financial liability shall be offset and presented by their net amount in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position when, and only when, there is now a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and an intention to settle the net amount or to realize the asset and settle the liability, simultaneously. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Bank has no financial asset/liability that offset. 9. Financial derivatives and hedge accounting Derivatives are classified as either trading instruments or hedging instruments. The Bank uses financial derivatives for the following purposes: i. To provide such instruments to customers who request them to manage their market and credit risks. ii. To use them for the risk management of the proprietary position of the Bank's entities and their assets and liabilities ('hedging derivatives'). iii. To benefit from changes in the value of these derivatives (trading derivatives). Trading derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss and are presented as assets/liabilities according to their positive or negative fair value. Derivatives that do not qualify as hedging instruments are accounted for as trading instruments. The Bank has elected to continue to use the IAS 39 guidelines for hedge accounting. For a financial derivative to be considered a hedging derivative, all the following conditions must be met: 1. To cover one of the following three types of risk: a. Changes in the value of assets and liabilities due to fluctuations in, among other things, inflation (UF), interest rates and/or exchange rates to which the position or balance to be hedged is subject ('fair value hedging'). b. Changes in the estimated cash flows arising from financial assets and liabilities, commitments and highly probable forecast transactions ('cash flow hedges'). c. The net investment in a foreign operation ('hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation'). 2. To effectively eliminate some risk inherent in the hedged item or position for the entire expected term of the hedge, which entails that: a. At the date of arrangement, the hedge is expected, under normal conditions, to be highly effective ('prospective effectiveness'). b. There is sufficient evidence that the hedge was effective during the life of the hedged item or position ('retrospective effectiveness'). 3. There must be adequate documentation evidencing the specific designation of the financial derivative to hedge certain balances or transactions and how this effective hedge was expected to be achieved and measured, provided that this is consistent with the Bank's management of its risks. Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements September 2024 / Banco Santander-Chile 19
NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued The changes in the value of financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting are recorded as follows: a. For fair value hedges, the gains or losses arising on both hedging instruments and the hedged items (attributable to the type of risk being hedged) are included as 'Net income (expense) from financial operations' in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Income. b. For fair value hedges of the interest rate risk of a portfolio of financial instruments ('macro-hedges'), gains or losses arising on measurement of the hedging instruments are recognized directly in the Interim Consolidated Income Statements under 'Interest and adjustment income'. c. For cash flow hedges, the efficient portion of the change in the value of the hedging instrument is recorded in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Other Comprehensive Income in 'Valuation accounts - cash flow hedges' within equity. d. Differences in the valuation of the hedging instrument corresponding to the inefficient portion of cash flow hedging transactions are recognized directly in the Interim Consolidated Income Statements in 'Net income from financial operations'. If a derivative designated as a hedge, whether due to termination, ineffectiveness, or any other cause, does not meet the above requirements, hedge accounting is discontinued. When 'fair value hedging' is discontinued, the fair value adjustments to the carrying amount of the hedged item arising from the hedged risk are amortized to gain or loss from that date, when applicable. When cash flow hedges are discontinued, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Other Comprehensive Income in equity 'Valuation Accounts' (while the hedge was efficient) continues to be recognized in equity until the hedged transaction occurs. At that time, it is recognized in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Income unless the transaction is not expected to occur, in which case it is recognized immediately in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Income. Embedded derivatives in hybrid financial instruments 'Embedded derivatives' is a hybrid contract component that simultaneously includes a host contract that is not a derivative and a financial derivative that is not individually transferable. It has the effect that some of the cash flows of the hybrid contract vary in the same way as the embedded derivative would on a stand-alone basis. As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and December 31, 2023, Banco Santander-Chile did not hold embedded derivatives in its portfolio. 10. Fair value of financial assets and liabilities No transaction costs are deducted when financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. Assets and liabilities subsequently measured at amortized cost are not required to be measured at fair value. 'Fair value' is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal market at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e., an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. Fair value measurement is for a specific asset or liability. Therefore, in measuring fair value, the Bank considers the characteristics of the asset or liability in the same way that market participants would consider in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. In addition, the fair value measurement assumes that the transaction of selling the asset or transferring the liability takes place either: (a) in the principal market for the asset or liability or (b) in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. When there is no market price for a given financial instrument, its fair value is estimated based on the price established in recent transactions involving similar instruments or, in the absence thereof, based on valuation models sufficiently contrasted by the international financial community, considering the specific peculiarities of the instrument to be valued and especially, the different types of risk related to the instrument. When valuation techniques are used, they maximize the use of the relevant observable input data and minimize that of unobservable input data. For example, when an asset or a liability measured at fair value has a bid price and an asking price, the price within the bid- ask spread that is most representative of fair value in the circumstances shall be used to measure fair value regardless of where the input is categorized within the fair value hierarchy. Although average prices are allowed as a practical resource to determine the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Bank makes an adjustment (FVA or fair value adjustment) when there is a gap between the purchase and sale price (close-out cost). Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements September 2024 / Banco Santander-Chile 20
NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued All derivatives are recorded in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position at fair value from the trade date. If their fair value is positive, they shall be recorded as an asset; if their fair value is negative, they shall be recorded as a liability. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, the trade date's fair value is deemed the transaction price. Changes in the fair value of derivatives from the trade date are recognized with a balancing entry in the Interim Consolidated Income Statements under 'Profit/(loss) on financial assets/liabilities held for trading at fair value through profit or loss'. Specifically, the fair value of financial derivatives included in the trading books is deemed similar to their daily quoted price. If, for exceptional reasons, the quoted price cannot be determined on a given date, the fair value is calculated using similar methods to those used for over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives. The fair value of OTC derivatives is the sum of the future cash flows stemming from the instrument that have been discounted to the present value at the appraisal date ('present value' or 'theoretical closure') using valuation techniques commonly used by the financial markets: 'net present value' (NPV) and option pricing models, among other methods. Also, within the fair value of derivatives are included the credit risk of the derivative, be it the Bank’s own credit risk (Debt Valuation Adjustment or “DVA”) or the counterparty’s credit risk (Credit Valuation Adjustment or “CVA”). The Counterparty Credit Risk (CVA) is a valuation adjustment to derivatives contracted in non-organized markets because of the exposure to counterparty credit risk. The CVA is calculated considering the potential exposure to each counterparty in future periods. The Debit Valuation Adjustment (DVA) is a valuation adjustment similar to CVA, but generated by the Bank's credit risk assumed by our counterparties. In the case of derivative instruments contracted with Central Clearing Houses, where the variation margin is contractually defined as a firm and irrevocable payment, this payment is considered part of the derivative's fair value. For loans and advances covered by fair value hedging transactions, changes in their fair value related to the risk or risks covered in these hedging transactions are recorded. Equity instruments and contracts related to these instruments must be measured at fair value. Nevertheless, in certain circumstances, the Bank may use cost as an appropriate fair value estimate. This may be necessary, for example, if the recently available information is insufficient to measure the fair value or if a wide range of possible fair value measures exists, and the cost represents the best fair value estimate within that range. Furthermore, the Bank may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the instrument's fair value in other comprehensive income. As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and December 31, 2023, no significant investments in listed financial instruments had ceased to be recorded at their quoted market value due to their market being unable to be considered active. The amounts at which financial assets/liabilities are recorded represent, in all material respects, the Bank's maximum exposure to credit risk at each reporting date. The Bank also has collateral and other credit enhancements to mitigate its exposure to credit risk, consisting mainly of mortgages, cash, equity and personal guarantees, leased and rented assets, assets purchased under repurchase agreements, securities lending and credit derivatives. Valuation techniques According to IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement', a fair value hierarchy is established based on three levels: Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3, in which the highest priority is given to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. Financial instruments at fair value and determined by published prices in active markets (Level 1) comprise government bonds, corporate bonds, exchange-traded derivatives, securitized assets, equities, short positions and issued bonds. In cases where quotations cannot be observed, management best estimates what the market would price using its own internal models. In most cases, these internal models use data based on observable market parameters as significant inputs (level 2) and sometimes use significant unobservable inputs in market data (level 3). Various techniques are used to estimate it, including extrapolating observable market data. The most reliable evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition is the transaction price unless the value of that instrument can be derived from other market transactions by the same or a similar instrument or valued using a valuation technique in which the inputs used include only observable market data, mainly interest rates. The main techniques used as of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and December 31, 2023 by the Bank's internal models to determine the fair value of financial instruments are described below: Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements September 2024 / Banco Santander-Chile 21
NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued i. The Present Value method is used in the valuation of financial instruments permitting static hedging (mainly forwards and swaps). Estimated future cash flows are discounted using the interest rate curves of the related currencies. The interest rate curves are generally observable market data. ii. In the valuation of financial instruments requiring dynamic hedging (mainly structured options and other structured instruments), the Black-Scholes model is normally used. Where appropriate, observable market inputs are used to obtain the bid-offer spread, exchange rates, volatility, correlation indexes and market liquidity. iii. For the valuation of certain financial instruments exposed to interest rate risks, such as interest rate futures, caps and floors, the present (future) value method and the Black-Scholes model (plain vanilla options) are used. The main inputs used in these models are observable market data, including the related interest rate curves, volatility, correlations and exchange rates. The fair value of the financial instruments calculated by the aforementioned internal models considers contractual terms and observable market data, including interest rates, credit risk, exchange rates, the quoted market price of shares and market rates of raw materials, volatility, prepayments and liquidity. The Bank's management verifies that the valuation models do not incorporate significant subjectivity. Therefore, if necessary, these methodologies can be adjusted and calibrated through internal calculations of fair value and subsequent comparison with the corresponding actively traded prices. The Bank has developed a formal process for the systematic valuation and management of financial instruments, implemented in all units included in the scope of consolidation. The governance structure of this process distributes responsibilities between two separate divisions: Treasury (responsible for the development, marketing and daily management of financial products and market data) and Market Risks (responsible for the periodic validation of valuation models and market data, the process of calculating risk metrics, standards for approving new transactions, market risk management and the implementation of valuation adjustment standards). Approving a new product involves several steps (application, development, validation, integration into corporate systems and quality review) before production. This process ensures the rating systems are properly reviewed and stable before use. Details of the most significant derivative products and families, together with their respective valuation techniques and inputs, by type of asset, are set out in Note 44 'Fair value of financial assets and liabilities' in these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. 11. Fixed assets This category includes the buildings, land, furniture, vehicles, computer hardware and other fixed assets owned by the consolidated entities. Assets are classified according to their use as follows: a. Fixed assets for own use Fixed assets for own use are presented at their acquisition cost, less its corresponding accumulated depreciation and, if applicable, the impairment losses that result from comparing the net value of each item with its corresponding recoverable amount. This includes, among others, the material assets received by the consolidated entities for the liquidation, in whole or in part, of financial assets that represent collection rights against third parties, and which are expected to be continuously used and owned. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the acquisition cost of assets minus their residual value, assuming that the land on which buildings and other structures stand has an indefinite life and is not subject to depreciation. The Bank applies the following useful lives for the tangible assets that comprise its assets: Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements September 2024 / Banco Santander-Chile 22
ITEM Useful Life (Months) Land 0 Paintings and works of art 0 Carpets and curtains 36 Computers and Hardware 36 Vehicles 36 ATMs and teleconsultations 60 Machines and general equipment 60 Office furniture 60 Telephone and communication systems 60 Security systems 60 Rights over telephone lines 60 Air conditioning systems 84 Other installations 120 Buildings 1200 NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued At each reporting period, the consolidated entities assess whether there is any indicator that the carrying amount of any tangible asset exceeds its recoverable amount. If this is the case, the asset's carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. Future depreciation charges are adjusted under the revised carrying amount and to the new remaining useful life, if an adjustment of the latter is necessary. Likewise, the estimated useful lives of the items of property, plant and equipment held for own use are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to detect significant changes. If changes are detected, the useful lives of the assets are adjusted by correcting the depreciation charge to be recorded in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Income in future years based on the new useful lives. Maintenance expenses relating to tangible assets held for own use are recorded as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. b. Assets leased out under operating leases The criteria used to record the acquisition cost of assets leased out under operating leases, calculate their depreciation and their respective estimated useful lives, and record their impairment loss are the same criteria as those for fixed assets held for own use. 12. Leases At the contract's creation, the Bank assesses whether it contains a lease or not. A contract contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for compensation. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Bank assesses whether: • The contract involves using an identified asset. This may be specified explicitly or implicitly and should be physically identified. The asset is not identified if the supplier has a significant substitution right. • The Bank has the right to obtain all the economic benefits from using the asset throughout the contract's duration. • The Bank has the right to direct the use of the asset – this is the decision-making purpose for which the asset is used. i. As a lessee The Bank recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the starting date of the lease according to the IFRS 16 'Leases'. The Bank's main contracts are for offices and branches which are necessary to undertake its activities. In the beginning, the right-of-use asset is equal to the lease liability. It is calculated as the present value of the lease payments, which are discounted using the Bank's incremental interest rate at the starting date and considering each contract's duration. The average incremental interest rate is 1.44%. Subsequently, the asset is straight-line depreciated according to the contract's duration, and the financial liability is amortized in terms of the monthly payments. The financial interest is charged to net interest income, and the depreciation is charged to the depreciation expense of each financial year. Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements September 2024 / Banco Santander-Chile 23
The lease's term encompasses non-cancellable periods stipulated within each contract. In the case of a lease contract with indefinite duration, the Bank has determined to assign a span equal to the longest of the non-cancellable period of its lease contracts. Contracts with a non-cancellable period of 12 months or less are treated as short-term leases. Therefore, the related payments are recorded as a straight-line expense. Any change in the lease term or rent is treated as a new measurement of the lease. In the initial measurement, the Bank measures the right-of-use of the asset at cost. The rent of the lease contracts is agreed in UF and payable in Chilean pesos. According to Circular No 3,649 of the FMC, the monthly UF variation that affects all contracts established in such monetary units should be treated as a new measurement. Therefore, readjustments should be recognized as an amendment to the obligation, and in parallel, the amount of the related asset should be adjusted. The Bank has not entered into lease agreements with guarantee clauses for residual value or variable lease payments. ii. As a lessor When the Bank acts as a lessor, it first determines if it corresponds to a financial or operating lease. To do this, the Bank evaluates whether it has substantially transferred all the risks and benefits of the asset. If so, this corresponds to a financial lease. Otherwise, it is an operating lease. The Bank recognizes lease rentals received on a straight-line income basis over the lease term. iii. Third-party financing The sum of present values of the lease payments receivable from the lessee is recognized in the line item: 'Loans and receivables from customers' in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. This includes the price of the lessee's right-to-call option at the end of the lease term when there is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise said right. The financial income and expense derived from these contracts are recorded in the Interim Consolidated Income Statements under 'Interest income' and 'Interest expense', respectively, to achieve a constant return rate over the lease term. 13. Factoring transactions Factored receivables are valued at the amount disbursed by the Bank in exchange for invoices or other commercial instruments representing the credit the transferor assigns to the Bank. The price difference between the amounts disbursed and the actual face value of the credits is recorded as interest income in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Income using the effective interest method over the financing period. When the assignment of these instruments involves no liability on the part of the assignee, the Bank assumes the risks of insolvency of the parties responsible for payment. 14. Intangible assets Intangible assets are non-monetary assets (identifiable separately from other assets) without physical substance arising from legal or contractual rights. The Bank recognizes an intangible asset, whether purchased or self-created (at cost) when the asset's cost can be measured reliably. Additionally, the future economic benefits attributable to the asset are expected to flow into the Bank. To calculate intangible assets, they are recorded initially at their acquisition or production cost, from which the accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss are subtracted. Internally developed computer software is recorded as an intangible asset if, among other requirements (primarily the Bank's ability to use or sell it), it can be identified and its ability to generate future economic benefits can be demonstrated. Intangible assets are amortized linearly based on their estimated useful life, defined by default at 36 months. They can be modified if the extent to which the Bank will benefit from its use for a different period than the mentioned above is demonstrated. Expenditure on research activities is recorded as an expense incurred in the year and cannot be subsequently capitalized.

NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued 15. Non-current assets held for sale Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations Per IFRS 5, 'Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations', a non-current asset is classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered mainly through a sale transaction rather than through continued use. To apply the above classification, the asset must meet the following requirements: • It must be available in its current conditions for immediate sale, and a sale must be highly probable. • For it to be highly probable, the appropriate management level must be engaged in a plan to sell the asset (or group of assets for its disposal). Also, a program to find a buyer and completing said purchase must have been actively initiated. • Furthermore, the sale should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year of the classification date. Assets classified in this way will be measured at the lower of their carrying amount or their fair value less costs to sell. Assets received or awarded in lieu of payment The goods received or awarded in lieu of payment of credits and accounts receivable from clients are recorded, in the case of assets awarded in lieu of payment, at the price agreed between the parties or, conversely, in those cases where there is no agreement between them, by the amount for which the Bank acquired said assets in a judicial auction. In both cases, an independent assessment of the market value of the goods is determined based on the state in which they are acquired. If the value of loans and receivables exceeds the fair value of the asset received or foreclosed as payment minus selling cost, the difference is recorded in the Interim Consolidated Income Statements under 'Provision for credit risk'. These assets are subsequently valued at the lower amount between the initially recorded figure and the net realizable value, which corresponds to their fair value (liquidation value determined through an independent appraisal) minus their respective costs of sale. The differences between the two are recognized in the Interim Consolidated Income Statements under 'Other operating expenses'. At the end of each year, the Bank reviews the cost of sale of assets received or foreclosed in payment, which is then applied from that date onwards and into the following year. In December 2023, the average cost was estimated at 5.67% of the appraised value (5.80% as of December 31, 2022). In addition, a review of the appraisals by an independent is carried out every 18 months to adjust the fair value of the assets. These assets are generally estimated to be disposed of within one year from the award date. Under article 84 of the General Banking Law, assets not sold within this period are charged-off through a single installment. On March 25, 2021, the FMC issued Circular No. 2,247 granting an additional 18 months for the disposal of all assets that financial institutions have received in payment or are awarded between March 1, 2019, and December 31, 2021, also allowing these assets' write-off to be made in installments proportional to the number of months between the date of their receipt and that set by the Bank for their disposal. 16. Income and expense recognition The most important criteria used by the Bank to recognize its revenues and expenses are summarized as follows: a. Interest revenue, interest expense, and similar items Interest income, interest expense and similar items are recognized on an accrual basis using the effective interest rate method. Nevertheless, the Bank ceases to recognize income on an accrual basis when a loan or one of its installments is 90 days overdue. This means that interest, adjustments or commissions are not recognized in the Interim Consolidated Income Statement unless effectively received. These interest and readjustments are generally referred to as 'suspended' and are recorded in memorandum accounts, which do not form part of the Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position but are reported as part of the supplementary information therein (Note 30 and 31).

NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued Interest incomes of previous 'transactions with suspended accrual' are only recognized again when the debtor is up to date with its obligations. b. Commissions, fees and similar items Fee and commission income and expenses are recognized in the Interim Consolidated Income Statements using the criteria set out in IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers'. Under IFRS 15, 'Revenue from contracts with customers', the Bank recognizes revenue when it satisfies its performance obligations by transferring the service (an asset) to the customer. Under this definition, an asset is transferred when the customer obtains control over the asset. The Bank considers the contractual terms and its traditional business practices for determining the transfer price. The transfer price is the amount of compensation the entity expects to be entitled in order to transfer committed goods and services to the customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Bank consistently applies the recognition method for each performance obligation, whether it is satisfied over time or at a specific point in time. The main income arising from commissions, fees, and similar items are: • Credit prepayment fees, which include fees related to customer prepayments of credit operations. • Fees and commissions on loans with letters of credit, which comprise fees and commissions related to granting loans with letters of credit. • Fees for lines of credit and overdraft fees, which refer to fees accrued during the year to grant credit lines and current account overdrafts. • Fees for guarantees and letters of credit, which include fees accrued during the year to grant payment guarantees for real or contingent third-party obligations. • Card service fees. These refer to fees earned and accrued for the year related to the usage of credit, debit and other cards. • Account administration fees. These comprise fees incurred for maintenance of current, savings and other accounts. • Fees and commissions for collections and payments, which include fees and commission income generated by the Bank's collections and payment services. • Commissions for brokerage and administering securities, which refer to income from commissions generated on brokerage, issuances, administration, and custody of securities. • Remuneration for the administration of mutual funds, investment funds or others, which comprises commissions from fund management companies separated by type of client (natural or legal person). • Insurance intermediation and consultancy fees, which include income generated through insurance sales, separated by the type of insurance brokered. • Fees for financial leasing transaction services, which refer to those financial leasing services in which the Bank acts as a lessor. • Securitization fees, which include fees for securitization services. • Fees for financial advisory services, which comprise those involved in advisory services concerning the issuance and placement of financial instruments, restructuring and funding financial liabilities, sale and purchase of companies, and others. • Other commissions earned, which include income generated by currency exchanges, issuing cashier checks and guarantee slips, trust commissions, foreign trade operations, student loan administration, and other services. Commission expenses comprise: • Card transaction fees, which involve commissions generated by credit cards, debit cards and the provision of funds related to the income generated from card service fees. • License fees of card brands. These are fees paid to the main card brands: credit, debit and provision of funds. • Other fees for services linked to the credit card system and cards with the provision of funds. • Expenses for loyalty and merit program obligations for card clients. They refer to expenses related to customer benefit programs related to the use of cards.

They comprise fees for deposit, safekeeping and brokerage of securities, investments in mutual funds, stock exchanges, central counterparty and market infrastructure services. • Other fees for services received. They include securities services, foreign trade, correspondent banking, ATMs and wire transfer fees. • Fees for clearing high-value payments, which include fees to ComBanc, CCLV, etc. The relationship between the Segment Note and the disaggregated income is presented in Note 32 Commissions. The Bank maintains loyalty plans associated with its credit cards, which under IFRS 15 “Revenue from ordinary activities from contracts with customers” have the necessary provisions to meet the delivery of the committed future performance obligations, or said obligations are settled immediately when they are generated. c. Non-financial income and expenses They are recognized under the criteria established in IFRS 15, 'Revenue from contracts with customers', identifying the performance obligation and when they are satisfied (accrued).

Commissions in the origination of loans Financial fees and commissions arising from the origination of loans, mainly origination or research and information gathering fees are accrued and recognized in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Income over the life of the loan. 17. Provisions for credit risk on loans and receivables and contingent liabilities The Bank permanently evaluates the entire portfolio of loans and contingent loans, as established by the FMC, to promptly create sufficient provisions to cover the expected loss linked with the debtors' characteristics and their loans based on payment and subsequent recovery. The Bank uses the following models established by the FMC and approved by the Board of Directors to assess its loan and contingent loan portfolio: • Individual assessment of debtors – This applies to debtors recognized as individually significant, that is, with substantial levels of debt, and to those who, even if not significant, are not able to be classified in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics, and which, due to their size, complexity or level of exposure, require detailed analysis • Group assessment of debtors - Group assessments are relevant for residential mortgage and consumer credit exposures, in addition to commercial student credit exposures and exposures to debtors that simultaneously meet the following conditions: i. The Bank has an aggregate exposure to the same counterparty of less than UF 20,000. The aggregate exposure is considered as the gross amount before provisions or other mitigating factors. It also includes residential mortgages in the calculation. Concerning off-balance sheet items (contingent loans), the gross amount is calculated by applying the credit translation factors defined in Chapter B-3 of the CASB. ii. Each aggregate exposure to a single counterparty does not exceed 0.2% of the total portfolio of loans assesses on a group basis. Group assessments are suitable for dealing with many transactions, each of a low amount, involving individuals or small companies. The Bank groups debtors with similar credit risk characteristics by associating each group with a certain probability of non-performing and a recovery rate based on a substantiated historical analysis. To this end, the Bank implemented the standard model for mortgage and commercial loans and its internal model for consumer loans. a. Allowances for individual assessments The individual assessment of a commercial loan debtors is necessary, as established by the FMC, in the case of companies that require detailed knowledge and analysis due to their size, complexity, or level of exposure to the entity. The analysis of debtors focuses firstly on their credit quality. Then, it classifies them in the risk category corresponding to the debtor and their respective credit operations and contingent loans after assigning them to one of the three portfolio statuses: Normal, Substandard and Impaired. The risk factors used in the allocation are the industry or sector, business situation, partners and management, their financial situation and ability to pay, and payment behavior. The portfolio categories and their definitions are as follows: a. Normal Portfolio includes debtors in which their payment capacity will permit them to pay their obligations and commitments. Evaluations of the current economic and financial environment do not indicate that this will change. The classifications assigned to this portfolio are categories from A1 to A6. b. Substandard Portfolio includes debtors with financial difficulties or significant deterioration of their payment ability. There is reasonable doubt concerning the future reimbursement of the capital and interest within the contractual terms, with limited ability to meet short-term financial obligations. The classifications assigned to this portfolio are categories from B1 to B4. c. Impaired Portfolio includes debtors and their credits for which repayment is considered remote, as they show a deteriorated or no payment capacity. This portfolio includes debtors who have stopped paying their debts or with obvious indications that they will stop paying, as well as those that require a forced restructuring of debts, reducing the obligation or postponing the term of the principal or interest, and any debtor who is in arrears equal to or greater than 90 days in the payment of interest or capital. The classifications assigned to this portfolio are categories C1 to C6.

NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued Normal and Substandard Portfolio As part of the individual assessment of debtors, the Bank classifies them into the following categories, assigning them a probability of non-performance and severity, which result in the expected loss percentages: Portfolio Debtor's Category Probability of Non- Performance (%) Severity (%) Expected Loss (%) Normal Portfolio A1 0.04 90.00 0.0360 A2 0.10 82.50 0.0825 A3 0.25 87.50 0.2188 A4 2.00 87.50 1.7500 A5 4.75 90.00 4.2750 A6 10.00 90.00 9.0000 Substandard Portfolio B1 15.00 92.50 13.8750 B2 22.00 92.50 20.3500 B3 33.00 97.50 32.1750 B4 45.00 97.50 43.8750 The first step to determine the amount of provisions is to assess the affected exposure, which comprises the book value of loans plus contingent loans, minus the amounts that are feasible to recover through the execution of financial collateral or other collateral covering the operations. To this exposure, the respective loss percentages are applied. In the case of collateral, the Bank must demonstrate that the value assigned to the deduction reasonably reflects the value that can be realized from the disposal of the assets or equity instruments. If the debtor's credit risk is substituted for the guarantor's credit quality, this methodology will only apply if the guarantor or surety is an entity qualified in a category similar to investment grade by a local or international rating agency recognized by the FMC. Under no circumstances may an endorsed valuable be deducted from the exposure amount, a procedure applicable only in the case of financial guarantees or real collateral. Notwithstanding the above, the Bank must maintain a minimum provision of 0.5% over loans and contingent loans in the normal portfolio. Impaired Portfolio The impaired portfolio includes all loans and the entire value of contingent loans of the debtors overdue by 90 days or more on a single payment of interest or principal of any loan at the end of the month. It also includes debtors who have been granted a loan to refinance loans overdue by 60 days or more and debtors who have undergone forced restructuring or partial debt forgiveness. The impaired portfolio excludes: a) residential mortgage loans, with payments overdue less than 90 days; and b) loans to finance higher education granted according to Law No 20,027, that do not fulfil the non-performing conditions outlined in Circular No 3,454 of December 10, 2008. The provision for an impaired portfolio is calculated by determining the expected loss rate for the exposure, deducting the value of recoverable collateral and deducting the present value of recoveries made through collection services after the related expenses. Once the expected loss range is determined, the related allowance rate is applied over the exposure amount, including loans and contingent loans related to the debtor. The allowance rates applied over the calculated exposure are as follows: Classification Estimated range of loss Allowance C1 Up to 3% 2% C2 Between 3% and 20% 10% C3 Between 20% and 30% 25% C4 Between 30% and 50% 40% C5 Between 50% and 80% 65% C6 More than 80% 90% Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements September 2024 / Banco Santander-Chile 29
NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued All the debtor's loans are maintained in the Impaired Portfolio until its payment ability is normalized, notwithstanding the charge-off of each loan that meets Title II of Chapter B-2 of the CASB. Once the circumstances that led to classification in the Impaired Portfolio have been overcome, the debtor can be removed from this portfolio once all the following conditions are met: i. The debtor has no obligations overdue with the Bank for 30 consecutive days or more. ii. The debtor has not been granted loans to refinance its obligations. iii. At least one of the payments includes the amortization of capital. iv. Two payments must already be made if the debtor has made partial loan payments in the last six months. v. If the debtor must make monthly payments, four consecutive installments must have been paid. vi. The debtor does not appear to have bad debts in the information provided by the FMC, except for insignificant amounts. b. Allowances for group assessments Group assessments are relevant for residential mortgage and consumer credit exposures, in addition to commercial student credit exposures and debtor exposures that simultaneously meet the following conditions: i. The Bank has an aggregate exposure (the exposure on the same Business Group at a consolidated level) to the same counterparty of less than UF 20,000. The aggregate exposure is considered gross of provisions or other mitigating factors and includes residential mortgage loans for its calculation. Concerning off-balance sheet items (contingent claims), the gross amount is calculated by applying the credit translation factors defined in Chapter B-3 of the CASB. ii. Each aggregate exposure to a single counterparty does not exceed 0.2% of the total portfolio evaluated under group assessment. To determine provisions, group assessments require the creation of groups of loans with homogeneous qualities in terms of the type of debtors and contracted loan terms in order to establish, using technically sound estimates and prudential criteria, the payment behavior of the group and the recoveries of its non-performing loans. This is done using a model based on the characteristics of the debtors, payment history, outstanding loans and delinquency, among other relevant factors. The Bank uses methodologies to determine credit risk based on internal and/or standard models to estimate provisions for the group- assessed portfolio. These include commercial loans for debtors not individually assessed, residential mortgage loans and consumer loans (including installment loans, credit cards and overdraft facilities). This methodology helps to independently identify the portfolio's performance one year ahead and determines the provision necessary to cover the losses arising in the period of one year from the balance sheet date. Clients are segmented according to their internal and external characteristics into groups or profiles to differentiate the risk of each portfolio in a more appropriate and orderly manner (client-portfolio model). This is known as the profile assignment method. The profile assignment method is based on a statistical construction method, constituting a relationship through a logistic regression between variables such as non-performance, external credit behavior, sociodemographic variables, and a response variable that determines a customer's risk, which in this case is non-performance equal to or greater than 90 days. Hence, common profiles are established and assigned a Probability of Non-Performance (PNP), also known as a Probability of Default (PD), and a recovery rate based on a substantiated historical analysis known as Loss Given Default (LGD) Therefore, once the client has been assigned a profile and a PNP and a LGD has been set for their type of loan, the exposure at default (EXP) is calculated. This exposure includes the book value of the loans and receivables from the customer, plus contingent loans, minus any amount that can be recovered by activating collateral (for loans other than consumer loans). Notwithstanding the above, in establishing provisions related to mortgage and commercial loans, the Bank must recognize minimum provisions according to standard methods established by the FMC for those types of loans. While this is considered a conservative minimum base, it does not relieve the Bank of its responsibility to have its own internal methodologies for determining adequate provisions to cover the portfolio's credit risk. Provisions must be made considering the higher value obtained between the respective standardized method and the internal method.

NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued Standard method of group portfolio provisioning i. Mortgage portfolio Under the CASB, the Bank applies the standard provisioning method for residential mortgages. Under this method, the expected loss factor applicable to the number of residential mortgage loans will depend on the delinquency of each loan and the ratio, at the end of each month, between the outstanding principal amount of each loan and the value of the mortgage collateral (loan-to-value or LTV) that covers it. The relevant provisioning factor according to delinquency and LTV is as follows: LTV Range Days past due at month-end 0 1-29 30-59 60-89 Impaired portfolio LTV ≤ 40% PNP(%) 1.0916 21.3407 46.0536 75.1614 100 LGD (%) 0.0225 0.0441 0.0482 0.0482 0.0537 EL (%) 0.0002 0.0094 0.0222 0.0362 0.0537 40% < LTV ≤ 80% PNP(%) 1.9158 27.4332 52.0824 78.9511 100 LGD (%) 2.1955 2.8233 2.9192 2.9192 3.0413 EL (%) 0.0421 0.7745 1.5204 2.3047 3.0413 80% < LTV ≤ 90% PNP(%) 2.515 27.93 52.58 79.6952 100 LGD (%) 21.5527 21.66 21.92 22.1331 22.231 EL (%) 0.5421 6.0496 11.5255 17.639 22.231 LTV > 90% PNP(%) 2.74 28.43 53.08 80.3677 100 LGD (%) 27.2 29.03 29.59 30.1558 30.2436 EL (%) 0.7453 8.2532 15.7064 24.2355 30.2436 LTV= (Loan-to-Value Ratio) unpaid loan principal/value of the mortgage collateral. EL = Expected loss This standardized approach will also be applied to residential leasing transactions, following the same criteria described above and considering the leased asset value equivalent to the amount of the mortgage collateral. If the same debtor holds more than one residential mortgage loan with the Bank and one is overdue by 90 days or more, all these loans will be assigned to the impaired portfolio, with provisions calculated for each according to their respective LTV percentages. In the case of residential mortgage loans linked to housing and subsidy programs of the State of Chile, provided that they are contractually covered by the auction insurance supplied by the latter, the provisioning percentage may be weighted by a loss mitigation (LM) factor, which depends on the LTV percentage and the value of the house in the deed of sale (V). Therefore, the LM factors to be applied to the corresponding provisioning percentage are presented in the table below: Loss mitigation (LM) factor for loans with state auction insurance LTV Range Segment V: Deeded house price (UF) V<1,000 1,000< V <= 2,000 LTV <= 40% 100 40% < LTV <= 80% 80% < LTV <=90% 95 96 LTV > 90% 84 89 ii. Commercial portfolio Following the CASB, the Bank applies the standard model of provisions for commercial loans in the group portfolio, depending on whether it corresponds to commercial leasing, student or other commercial loans. Before implementing the standard method, the Bank used internal models to determine provisions for commercial loans assessed on a group basis.

NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued a. Commercial leasing operations For these operations the provision factor must be applied to the current value of commercial leasing operations (including the purchasing option at the end of the lease). Therefore, it will depend on the delinquency of each operation, the type of leased asset and the relationship, at the closing of each month, between the current value of each operation and the value of the leased asset (LTV), as indicated in the following tables: Probability of Non-Performance (PNP) applicable according to delinquency and type of asset (%) Days past due at the end of the month Type of asset Real estate Non-real estate 0 0.79 1.61 1-29 7.94 12.02 30-59 28.76 40.88 60-89 58.76 69.38 Non-performing portfolio 100.00 100.00 Loss Given Default (LGD) applicable by PVB range and type of asset (%) LTV range (*) Real estate Non-real estate LTV ≤ 40% 0.05 18.20 40% < LTV ≤ 50% 0.05 57.00 50% < LTV ≤ 80% 5.10 68.40 80% < LTV ≤ 90% 23.20 75.10 LTV > 90% 36.20 78.90 (*) LTV= Current value of operation/leased asset value The LTV ratio will be determined considering the appraisal value, expressed in UF for real estate and pesos for non-real estate, recorded at the time of granting the respective loan, considering any situations that may be causing temporary rises in the asset price at that time. b. Student loans For these operations, the provision factor should be applied to the student loan and the exposure of the contingent loans, when applicable. The determination of this factor depends on the type of student loan and the enforceability of the payment of capital or interest at the end of each month. When payment is due, the factor will also depend on the delinquency of the loan. For the loan classification, a distinction is made between those granted for financing higher studies under Law No 20,027 (CAE) and, on the other hand, the CORFO guaranteed loans or other student loans. Probability of Non-Performance (PNP) according to enforceability, delinquency and type of loan (%) Presents payment enforceability or interest at month-end Days past due at month-end Type of student loan CAE CORFO and others Yes 0 5.20 2.90 1-29 37.20 15.00 30-59 59.00 43.40 60-89 72.80 71.90 Non-performing portfolio 100.00 100.00 No N/A 41.60 16.50 Loss Given Default (LGD) and type of asset (%) Presents payment enforceability or interest at month-end Type of student loan CAE CORFO and others Yes 70.90 No 50.30 45.80 Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements September 2024 / Banco Santander-Chile 32
NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued c. Generic commercial loans and factoring For factoring transactions and other commercial loans, the provisioning factor, applicable to the amount of the loan and the contingent loan exposure, will depend on the delinquency of each transaction and the ratio at the end of each month between the debtor's obligations to the Bank and the value of the collateral (LTVC) securing them, as indicated in the following tables: Probability of Non-Performance (PNP) applicable according to delinquency and LTVC range (%) Days past due at month-end Guarantee No collateral LTVC ≤ 100% LTVC > 100% 0 1.86 2.68 4.91 1-29 11.60 13.45 22.93 30-59 25.33 26.92 45.30 60-89 41.31 41.31 61.63 Non-performing portfolio 100.00 100.00 100.00 Loss Given Default (LGD) applicable according to LTVC range (%) Collateral (with/without) LTVC Range Factoring and other commercial loans without responsibility of assignor Factoring with responsibility of assignor Collateral LTVC ≤ 60% 5.00 3.20 60% < LTVC ≤ 75% 20.30 12.80 75% < LTVC ≤ 90% 32.20 20.30 90% < LTVC 43.00 27.10 No collateral 56.90 35.90 The collateral used to calculate the LTVC ratio of this method may be of a specific or general nature or those that simultaneously specific and general in nature. However, a collateral can only be considered if, according to the respective coverage clauses, it was set in the first degree of preference in favor of the Bank and it only guarantees the debtor's credits concerning which it is attributed (not shared with other debtors). The invoices assigned in the factoring operations, or the guarantees linked to mortgage loans, regardless of their coverage clauses, will not be considered in the calculation. The following considerations must be taken into account when calculating the LTVC ratio: i. Transactions with specific guarantees: those in which the debtor provided specific guarantees for generic commercial loans and factoring. The LTVC ratio is calculated separately for each secured transaction as the division between the loan amount and the contingent loan exposure over the collateral's value. ii. Transactions with general guarantees: when the debtor is granted general or general and specific guarantees, the Bank calculates the corresponding LTVC jointly for all generic commercial loans, factoring and operations not contemplated in the above paragraph i), as the division between the sum of the amounts of loans and contingent loan exposures over the general or specific guarantees that, according to the scope of the remaining coverage clauses, protect the loans considered in the numerator of the ratio mentioned above. The amounts of collateral used in the LTVC ratio in (i) and (ii) should be determined according to the: • The collateral’s last valuation, whether in its appraisal or fair value, depending on the type of collateral in question. The criteria in Chapters 7-12 of the Updated Collection of Banking Regulations (from now on: UCBR) should be considered to determine fair value. • Possible situations that could be causing temporary rises in the value of the collaterals. • Limits to the amount of coverage established in their respective clauses. In November 2023, with the aim of improving the prediction of customer behavior and maintaining high monitoring standards, the Bank calibrated its provisioning models for group assessments. The effects of this calibration implied a lower provision of approximately Ch$13,835 million. Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements September 2024 / Banco Santander-Chile 33
NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued d. Provisions for contingent loans Contingent loans are transactions or commitments in which the Bank assumes a credit risk by obliging itself vis-à-vis third parties upon a future event to make a payment or a disbursement to be recovered from its clients. To calculate the provisions as indicated in Chapter B-1 of the CASB, the amount of exposure to be considered shall be equal to the percentage of the contingent claim amounts indicated below: Type of loan Credit Translation Factors (CTF) Immediately repayable unrestricted credit lines 10% Contingent loans linked to student loan (CAE) 15% Letters of credit for goods movement operations 20% Other unrestricted credit lines 40% Debt purchase commitments in local currencies abroad 50% Transactions related to contingent events 50% Guarantees and sureties 100% Other credit commitments 100% Other contingent loans 100% In the case of transactions with clients with non-performing loans, such exposure shall always equal 100% of their contingent loans. e. Guarantees and credit enhancements Guarantees and collateral are only considered in calculating provisions when they are legally established and when the conditions allowing their eventual activation or settlement in the Bank's favor are met. Collateral valuation (mortgages or pledges) reflects the net cash flow obtained from selling goods or equity instruments, or from capital minus estimated expenses in the event of a debtor's non-performance. For mortgages and pledges on goods, the Bank undertakes analyses that reflect the relationship between the prices obtained in an eventual settlement and their appraisal or foreclosure values. Nevertheless, the valuations of mortgages and other goods received are based on valuations carried out by independent professionals, while maintenance and transaction costs are based on historical data from at least three years prior. The Bank has the necessary collateral revaluation standards in place. Financial guarantees, measured through fair value adjustments, may only be deducted from credit risk exposures when they are provided to secure the performance of the credits concerned. The adjusted fair value is obtained by applying the interest rate and currency volatility discount factors established by the FMC and subtracting settlement costs. Determining provisions in the case of leased assets considers the value obtained on the disposal of the leased assets, considering the impairment that these may present, and the expenses related to their redemption and liquidation or eventual relocation. Determining provisions for factoring loans considers that the counterparty is the assignor of the documents endorsed to the Bank when the factoring is with liability and the debtor when the assignment is without liability of the assignor. f. Additional provisions According to FMC regulation, banks can establish provisions over the already described limits to protect themselves from the risk of non-predictable economic fluctuations that could affect the macroeconomic environment or a specific economic sector. As set out in number 9 of Chapter B-1 of the CASB of the FMC, these provisions shall be reported on the liability side in the same way as provisions on contingent claims. g. Provisions related to financing with FOGAPE guarantee Covid-19 The FMC requested that specific provisions be determined for loans secured by the FOGAPE Covid-19 guarantee, for which the expected loss must be determined. This is done by estimating the risk of each transaction, dismissing the guarantor's credit quality substitution, and following the appropriate individual or group analysis method per the clauses of the CASB Chapter B-1. This calculation must be made on an aggregate basis, grouping all transactions to which the same deductible percentage is applicable. Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements September 2024 / Banco Santander-Chile 34
NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued Hence, the total expected loss resulting from the aggregate calculation of each transaction group must be compared with the total deductible corresponding to them. When the expected loss of the transactions of a group with the same deductible percentage is determined to be equal to or less than the aggregate deductible, the provisions are set without considering the FOGAPE Covid-19 guarantee, that is, without replacing the creditworthiness of the direct debtor for that of the guarantor. When they surpass the aggregate deductible, the provisions shall be determined using the substitution method set out in the CASB paragraph 4.1(a) of Chapter B-1 and shall be recognized in accounts separate from commercial, consumer and residential mortgage provisions. h. Provisions established for credit risk as a result of supplementary prudential requirements This corresponds to the provisions for credit risk required by the Committee’s prudential instructions in relation to credit risk management assessments under Chapters 1-13 of the UCBR and that do not qualify as provisions established per the definitions in Chapter B-1 of the CASB. i. Impaired receivables and suspension of accrual For loans assessed on a case by case basis, the impaired portfolio comprises loans classified in the impaired portfolio plus categories B3 and B4 of the 'substandard portfolio'. For group assessment, it comprises loans in the impaired portfolio. The Bank ceases to recognize income on an accrual basis in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Income when the loan or one of its installments is 90 days overdue. From the date interest is suspended until they are no longer impaired, loans shall not be credited with interest, adjustments or fees in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. No income from such loans shall be recognized in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Income unless received. j. Charge-offs As a general rule, charge-offs should be applied when the contractual rights to the cash flows expire. The charge-offs in question refer to the derecognition in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of the assets corresponding to the respective transaction, including that part which may not be overdue in the case of a loan payable in installments or a leasing transaction (there are no partial charge-offs). This includes overdue, past-due and current installments, with the term corresponding to the time elapsed since the date on which payment of all or part of the obligation is in delinquency. Charge-offs are always booked against the credit risk provisions set up under Chapter B-1 of the CASB, regardless of the reason for the write-off. Charge-offs should be carried out in the following circumstances, whichever occurs first: 1. Based on all available information, the Bank concludes that it will not obtain flows from the loans recorded as an asset. 2. When an unencumbered claim is 90 days old since it was registered as an asset. 3. Upon expiration of the statute of limitations for actions to claim collection through an enforceable judgment or at the time of the rejection or abandonment of the enforcement of the title by an enforceable court decision. 4. When the period of arrears of a transaction reaches the time limit for charge-offs set out below: Type of loan Term Consumer loans with or without collateral 6 months Other transactions without collateral 24 months Commercial loans with collateral 36 months Residential mortgage loans 48 months Consumer leasing 6 months Other non-real estate leasing transactions 12 months Real estate leasing (household and business) 36 months k. Recovery of loans previously written off and receivables from clients Subsequent payments on written-off transactions shall be recognized in the profit or loss statement as recoveries of charged-off loans.

NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued When a recovery is perceived in the form of an asset received in lieu of payment, the income is recognized as the amount by which they are incorporated into the asset under the provisions of the Chapter of the CASB regarding Assets received or awarded in lieu of payment. The same approach is followed if the leased goods are recovered after a leased transaction is written off when such goods are incorporated as an asset. 18. Impairment of financial assets other than loans and receivables and contingent loans The Bank applies IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' to determine the impairment of financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at amortized cost other than loans and contingent receivables. The estimate involves calculating the potential credit losses that could be observed on a financial instrument due to differences between the future cash flows under the original contract and the cash flows expected to be received, always ensuring that the results obtained are appropriate to the reality of the transactions, the current economic environment and the available forward-looking information. This model uses a dual measurement approach in which the impairment provision is measured as follows: • Credit loss expected at 12 months: it represents expected credit losses arising from default events on a financial instrument that may arise within 12 months from the reporting date. • Lifetime expected credit loss: it represents the expected credit losses arising from default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. At each reporting date, an entity must measure the provision as equal to the 'lifetime expected credit loss' if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. Otherwise, if the credit risk of a financial instrument has not increased significantly at the reporting date since initial recognition, an entity shall measure the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 'expected credit loss over the next 12 months'. When making such an assessment, an entity compares the default risk of a financial instrument at the reporting date with that of its initial recognition, as well as considering reasonable and tenable information made available without unnecessary cost or effort, indicating the growth of credit risk since its initial recognition (on a group or individual basis). Based on changes in credit quality, IFRS 9 describes a 'three-step' impairment model according to the following diagram: Change in credit quality since initial recognition Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Initial recognition Significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition Credit-impaired assets Credit loss expected in 12 months Lifetime credit loss Lifetime credit loss Reasonable and tenable information refers to information readily available at the reporting date without unreasonable cost or effort, including information about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. When contractual payments are overdue by 30 days or more, the Bank considers that the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly, but this is not the only indicator. Measurement of expected credit loss Expected credit loss estimates the weighted probability of credit losses over the financial instrument's expected life, that is, the present value of all cash shortfalls. The three components of the measurement of expected credit loss are: PD: The probability of default estimates the probability of non-performance over a given time frame. LGD: Loss-given default estimates the loss that would occur in the event of a default at a given time. EAD: Exposure at default is an estimate of the exposure at a future date of non-performance, considering expected exposure changes after the reporting date, including repayments of principal and interest, whether contractually scheduled or otherwise, and interest on defaults.

NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued The parameters used for the calculation of impairment provisions were developed based on the structure of the internal models used and take into account the experience acquired in the regulatory and management areas, as well as the stages in which each financial asset is classified, including forward-looking information, point-in-time (PIT) view, multiple scenarios, calculation of losses for the entire life of the operation through PD lifetime, among others. Collateral and other credit enhancements are considered to measure expected credit loss. Determination of a significant increase in risk For the classification in phase 2, an assessment of whether there is a significant increase in credit risk (SICR) from the initial recognition of the transactions is undertaken. For this, a series of principles that ensure that all financial instruments are subject to this assessment is used, which considers the particularities of each portfolio and type of product based on various quantitative and qualitative indicators. All of this is subject to the expert judgement of analysts, who set the thresholds under appropriate management integration and implement it under the approved governance. The judgement and criteria used to establish thresholds are based on several principles. The principles are as follows: • Universal: all financial instruments with a credit rating must be assessed for their potential SICR. • Proportional: the definition of the SICR should consider each portfolio's particularities. • Materiality: its implementation should also be consistent with each portfolio's relevance to avoid unnecessary cost or effort. • Holistic view: the selected approach should combine the most relevant aspects of credit risk (i.e. quantitative and qualitative). • Application of IFRS 9: the approach should consider the features of IFRS 9, focusing on a comparison with credit risk at initial recognition and considering forward-looking information. • Risk management integration: criteria should be consistent with those metrics considered in day-to-day risk management. • Documentation: Appropriate documents must be prepared. To classify a financial instrument in phase 2, we consider the following criteria: • Quantitative criteria: changes in the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument are analyzed and quantified relative to its level of credit risk at inception. For this purpose, quantitative thresholds have been defined for the portfolios. These thresholds can be expressed as an absolute or relative increase in the probability of default. • Qualitative criteria: using expert judgement, we use various indicators aligned with those used in ordinary credit risk management (defaults over 30 days, refinancing, etc.). • Definition of default: this definition entails the application of various criteria to classify exposures as phase 3, including transactions in default for 90 consecutive days or identifying other criteria that demonstrate that the counterparty can meet all of its financial obligations. • Expected life of the financial instrument: we estimate the expected life of a financial instrument considering all contractual terms (e.g. prepayments, duration, repurchase agreements, etc.). Recognition of expected credit loss An entity shall recognize in its financial results a gain or loss caused by value impairment as the amount of the expected credit loss (or releases) by which the value is adjusted given the losses that have occurred by the reporting date to capture the amount that requires recognition accurately. For assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the book value of the instruments is understood as the fair value. Therefore, the recognition of impairment does not affect the carrying amount of such instruments and is reflected as a movement between other comprehensive income (a deduction from fair value) and results at each reporting date. In the case of assets measured at amortized cost, impairment is presented through a complementary account that reduces the asset's value. Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements September 2024 / Banco Santander-Chile 37
NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued 19. Impairment of non-financial assets The Bank's non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for indications of impairment (i.e., when the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount). If such indications exist, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair values minus disposal costs and value in use. In assessing value in use, estimates of cash inflows or outflows shall be discounted to present value using the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and the specific risks for which estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be lower than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount. The impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss. In relation to other assets, impairment losses recognized in prior periods are evaluated at each reporting date for any indication that the loss has decreased and should be reversed. The increase in the carrying value of an asset other than goodwill attributed to a reversal of the impairment loss will not exceed the carrying amount that could have been obtained (net of amortization or depreciation) if an impairment loss had not been recognized for said asset in previous periods. The impairment loss recognized in goodwill will not be reversed. 20. Provisions, contingent assets and liabilities Provisions are liabilities whose amount or maturity are uncertain. These provisions are recognized in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position when all the following requirements are met: i. It is a current obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events and, ii. as of the publication date of the financial statements, the Bank will probably have to expend resources to settle the obligation and; iii. the amount of these resources can be reliably measured. Contingent assets or contingent liabilities encompass all potential rights or obligations arising from past events. These are only confirmed if one or more uncertain future events occurs which are not within the Bank's control. The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all significant provisions for which the probability of meeting the obligation is estimated to be more likely than not. Provisions are quantified using the best available information regarding the consequences of the event giving rise to them and are reviewed and adjusted at the end of the accounting period. Provisions are used when the liabilities for which they were originally recognized are settled. Partial or total reversals are recognized when such liabilities cease to exist or are reduced. Provisions are classified according to the obligation covered as follows: • Provisions for employee benefit obligations. • Provisions for lawsuits and litigations. • Provisions for operational risk. • Provisions for mandatory dividends. • Provisions for contingent loan risks. • Provisions for contingencies. 21. Income tax and deferred taxes The Bank recognizes, where appropriate, deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax effects attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated using the tax rate applied in the year the deferred tax assets and liabilities are realized or settled according to current tax legislation. The future effects of tax legislation or tax rate changes are recognized in deferred taxes from when the law approving such changes is published.

NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued Current tax assets relate to provisional payments in excess of the provision for income tax or other income tax credits, such as training expenses or donations to universities. In addition, the monthly provision payments to be recovered for profits absorbed by tax losses should be included. In the case of liabilities, they correspond to the provision for income tax calculated based on the tax results for the period, minus the mandatory or voluntary provisional payments and other credits applied to this obligation. For presentation in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, in accordance with IAS12, the tax position at the tax entity level should be offset, as appropriate, and subsequently, the net balances per tax entity should be added at the consolidated level. 22. Employee benefits i. Post-employment benefits – Defined Benefit Plan: According to the current collective labor covenant and other agreements, Banco Santander-Chile has an additional benefit available for its main executives, consisting of a pension plan, aiming for them to have the necessary funds for a supplementary pension upon retirement. Plan Features: The main features of the Post-Employment Benefits Plan promoted by the Banco Santander-Chile are: i. Aimed at the Bank's upper management. ii. The general requirement is that the beneficiary must still hold their position within the Bank by the time they turn 60 years old. iii. The Bank will contract a mixed collective insurance policy (life and savings) for each executive, with the contracting party and beneficiary being the Group company to which the executive belongs. Periodic contributions will equal the amount each manager commits to their voluntary contribution plan. iv. The Bank will be responsible for granting the benefits directly. The projected unit credit method is used to calculate the present value of the defined benefit obligation and the current service cost. Components of defined benefit cost include: • Current and past service costs are recognized in profit or loss for the period. • Net interest over the net defined benefit liability (asset), recognized in profit or loss for the period. • The new net defined benefit liability (asset) measurements include: (a) actuarial gains and losses; (b) the performance of the plan's assets, and (c) changes in the effect of the asset ceiling, which are recognized in other comprehensive income. The net defined benefit liability is the deficit or surplus, calculated as the difference between the defined benefit obligation's present value minus the plan assets' fair value. The plan assets comprise the insurance policies contracted by the Bank through an unrelated third party. These assets are held by an entity legally separated from the Bank and exist solely to pay employees their benefits. The Bank recognizes the present service cost and the net interest in the item 'Personnel wages and expenses' in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Income. The plan's structure does not generate actuarial gains or losses. The plan's performance is established and fixed during the period; consequently, there are no changes to the asset's ceiling. Accordingly, there are no amounts recognized in other comprehensive income. The post-employment benefits obligation recognized in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, represents the deficit or surplus in the defined benefit plans of the Bank. Any surplus resulting from the calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available regarding the plan's reimbursements or reductions to future contributions. When employees abandon the plan before meeting the requirements to become eligible for the benefit, the Bank's contributions decrease.

NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued ii. Severance package: Severance packages for years of employment are recorded only when they effectively occur or upon the availability of a formal and detailed plan in which the fundamental modifications to be made are identified, provided that such plan has already started to be implemented, its principal features have been publicly announced, or objective facts about its activation are known. iii. Cash-settled share-based payments: The Bank allocates cash-settled share-based payments to certain executives of the Bank and its Subsidiaries under IFRS 2. Accordingly, the Bank measures the services received and the obligation incurred at fair value. Until the obligation is settled, the Bank calculates the fair value at the end of each reporting period and at the date of settlement, recognizing any change to fair value in the income statement for the period. 23. Use of Estimates Preparing the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements requires the Bank's Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting standards and the reported values of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates. In certain cases, the generally accepted accounting standards require that assets or liabilities be recorded or disclosed at their fair value. The fair value is the price received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between informed market participants at the measurement date. When available, quoted market prices in active markets have been used for measurement. When the trade prices of an active market are not available, the Bank estimates such values based on the best information available, including internal modelling and other valuation techniques. The Bank has established provisions to cover potential credit loss per the regulations issued by the FMC. These allowances must be regularly reviewed, considering factors such as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, trends in forecasted portfolio quality, credit quality, and economic conditions that may adversely affect the borrowers' ability to pay. Increases in the allowances for loan loss are reflected as 'Provisions for loan loss' in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Income. Loans are written off when the contractual rights for the cash flows expire. Nevertheless, the Bank will charge off per Title II of Chapter B-2 of the CASB issued by the FMC for loans and accounts receivable from clients. Charge-offs are recorded as a reduction of credit risk provisions. The Bank's Management regularly reviews the relevant estimates and assumptions to calculate provisions quantifying certain assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and commitments. Revised accounting estimates are recorded in the period the estimate is revised and in any future period affected. These estimates are based on the best available information and mainly refer to the following: • Allowances for loan loss (Notes 13 and 41). • Impairment loss on certain assets (Notes 11, 13, 15, 16, 17, 39 and 40). • The useful lives of tangible and intangible assets (Notes 15, 16 and 17). • The fair value of assets and liabilities (Notes 8, 11, 12, 21 and 44). • Commitments and contingencies (Note 29). • Current and deferred taxes (Note 18). 24. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net income attributable to the equity holders of the Bank by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated similarly to basic earnings, but the weighted average number of outstanding shares is adjusted to consider the potential diluting effect of stock options, warrants, and convertible debt. As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and December 31, 2023, the Bank did not hold any instruments that have a dilutive effect on equity.

NOTE 02 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued 25. Temporary acquisition (assignment) of assets Purchases (sales) of financial assets under non-optional repurchase agreements at a fixed price (repos) are recorded in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as a financial assignment (receipt) based on the nature of the debtor (creditor) under 'Deposits in the Central Bank of Chile', 'Deposits in financial institutions' or 'Loans and receivables from customers' ('Deposits from Central Bank of Chile', 'Deposits from financial institutions' or 'Deposits'). The difference between the purchase and sale prices is recorded as financial interest over the contract's life. 26. Assets and investment funds managed by the Bank The assets managed by the different companies that form part of the Bank's consolidation perimeter (Santander S.A. Sociedad Securitizadora) that are owned by third parties are not included in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The commissions generated by this activity are included in the balance of 'Fee and commission income' in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Income. 27. Provision for mandatory dividends As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and December 31, 2023, the Bank recognized a liability (provision) for minimum or mandatory dividends based on the provisions of Article 79 of the Corporations Act, which coincides with the Bank's internal dividend policy, which stipulates that at least 30% of the net profit for the year will be distributed, unless otherwise agreed at the respective Shareholders' Meeting by unanimous vote of all outstanding common shares. As of May 2024, the Board of Directors agreed to make use of the power granted by the last Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, to increase the provision for minimum dividends to 60% of accumulated earnings. At the ordinary meeting of the Board of Directors in September 2024, it was agreed to further increase the provision for minimum dividends to 70%, in the same way as was done at the Board of Directors in May 2024. This provision is recorded as a deduction from 'Retained earnings' under 'Provision for dividends, interest payments and repricing of equity financial instruments' in Interim Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity.

NOTE 03 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED AND ADOPTED OR ISSUED AND NOT YET ADOPTED 1. Pronouncements issued and adopted As of the date of issuance of these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, the new accounting statements issued by both the FMC and the International Accounting Standards Board, which have been adopted in their entirety by the Bank, are as follows: a. Accounting Standards issued by the Financial Market Commission. There are no new FMC standards that apply to these Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. b. Accounting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board Amendment to IFRS 16 - Lease liability on a sale and leaseback. This amendment, issued on September 22, 2022, requires a lessee- seller to subsequently measure lease liabilities arising from a leaseback in a manner that does not recognize any gain or loss that relates to the right of use. The new requirements do not prevent a seller-lessee from recognizing in profit or loss any gain or loss related to the partial or total termination of a lease contract. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Early application is permitted. The Bank has determined there is no impact from this new standard. Amendment to IAS 1 - Non-current liabilities with covenants. This amendment, issued on October 31, 2022, amends the requirements introduced by "Classification of liabilities as current or non-current", on how an entity classifies its debt and other financial liabilities as current or non-current in the following particular circumstance: only the covenants that an entity must comply by the reporting date affects the classification of a liability as current or non-current. In addition, an entity must disclose information in the notes that allows users of the financial statements to understand the risk that non-current liabilities with covenants may become repayable within twelve months. The amendments are effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. The amendments are applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 and early application is permitted. The Bank has determined that there is no impact from this new standard. Amendment to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 - Supplier Financing Agreements. The amendment to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flow and IFRS 7 Disclosures of Financial Instruments requires an entity to disclose information about supplier financing arrangements to enable users of the Financial Statements to assess the effects of such arrangements on the entity's liabilities and cash flow and on the entity's exposure to liquidity risk. Amendments to IAS 7 apply for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024, and amendments to IFRS 7 apply when amendments to IAS 7 apply. The Bank has determined that there is no impact from this rule.

NOTE 03 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED AND ADOPTED OR ISSUED AND NOT YET ADOPTED, continued 2. Pronouncements issued that have not yet been adopted As of the closing date of these Consolidated Financial Statements, new International Financial Reporting Standards had been published, as well as interpretations thereof and new FMC standards, which were not mandatory as of September 30, 2024. Although in some cases early application is permitted by the IASB, the Bank has not implemented them as of that date. a. Accounting Standards issued by the Financial Market Commission. Standard model of provisions for consumer loans. On March 6, 2024, the Financial Market Commission (FMC) published a standardized methodology for calculating provisions for consumer loans. The new methodology is based on the identification of three risk factors for the probability of default parameter: (i) delinquency in the Bank at the end of the evaluation month, (ii) delinquency in the banking system in any of the previous 3 months, (iii) and the possession of a residential mortgage loan in the banking system. At the same time, the loss given default considers the application of two factors: (i) the possession of a residential mortgage loan in the banking system, and (ii) the type of consumer loan). The standard provision model for consumer loans will come into force in January 2025 with effects on the results of that period. The FMC has indicated that the estimated impact of the application of the new model on the industry would amount to approximately US$454 million. The Bank has estimated higher provisions in the consumer portfolio at about Ch$100 billion. b. Accounting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standard Board. Amendment to IAS 21 to clarify accounting treatment when there is absence of convertibility. This modification, issued on August 15, 2023, contains guidelines for when a currency is interchangeable and how to determine the exchange rate when it is not interchangeable. The modifications include: 1. Specify when a currency is interchangeable with another currency and when it is not. 2. Specify how an entity determines the exchange rate to apply when a currency is not interchangeable. 3. Require disclosure of additional information when a currency is not redeemable. The amendment also includes a new appendix with application guides on interchangeability and a new illustrative example. The modifications are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025, with early application permitted. At the date of issuance of these Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, this standard has no impact. IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements. On April 9, 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, which replaces IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces three sets of new requirements to improve reporting on financial performance and provide a better basis for analyzing and comparing companies: a. Improved Income Statement Comparability b. Greater transparency of management-defined performance measures c. More useful grouping of information in financial statements IFRS 18 is effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with advance application permitted. The Bank is in the process of analyzing this regulation. IFRS 19 Non-Publicly Accountable Subsidiaries: Information to be disclosed. This regulation specifies the disclosure requirements that would apply to subsidiaries that are not obligated to publish financial accounts, but whose parent produces publicly available consolidated financial statements that comply with IFRS Standards. This rule is applicable for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early application allowed. The Bank is in the process of analyzing this regulation. Amendment to IFRS9 and IFRS7 - amendment to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments. The modifications are: Derecognition of financial liabilities settled by electronic transfer This amendment allows an entity to consider that a financial liability (or part thereof) that will be settled in cash using an electronic payment system will be written off before the settlement date if the specified criteria are met. An entity that chooses to apply the option of derecognition of accounts would be obliged to apply it to all settlements made through the same electronic payment system.

NOTE 03 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED AND ADOPTED OR ISSUED AND NOT YET ADOPTED, continued Classification of financial assets • Contractual terms that are consistent with a basic loan agreement: The amendment provides guidance on how an entity can assess whether the contractual cash flows of a financial asset are consistent with a basic loan agreement. Examples are added to illustrate the changes. • Assets with "non-recourse" characteristics (which is not secured by any particular asset): the amendment improves the description of the term "non-recourse", according to this, a financial asset has non-recourse characteristics if an entity's ultimate right to receive cash flows is contractually limited to cash flows generated by specific assets. • Contractually linked instruments: the amendment clarifies the characteristics of contractually linked instruments that distinguishes them from other transactions. They also note that not all transactions with multiple debt instruments meet the criteria for transactions with multiple contractually linked instruments and provides an example. Disclosures • Investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income: An entity would be required to disclose the gain or loss on fair value presented in other comprehensive income during the period, showing separately the gain or loss on fair value that relates to investments derecognized in the period and the gain or loss on fair value that relates to investments held at the end of the period. • Contractual Terms That Could Change the Timing or Amount of Contractual Cash Flows: Disclosure of contractual terms that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows is required if a contingent event occurs (or does not occur) that does not directly relate to changes in the basic risks and costs of the loan. The requirements apply to each class of financial asset measured at amortized cost or fair value through changes in other comprehensive income and to each class of financial liability measured at amortized cost. The modifications are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Early application is allowed. The Bank is in the process of analyzing this regulation. Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards — Volume 11. This standard, issued on July 18, 2024, by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), addresses minor but necessary (non-urgent) amendments to the following five standards: • IFRS 1 – First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards • IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures • IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments • IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements • IAS 7 – Statement of Cash Flows The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026, with earlier application permitted. The Bank is in the process of analyzing this regulation.

NOTE 05 - SIGNIFICANT EVENTS As of September 30, 2024, the following events have been recorded that in the opinion of the Bank's management are relevant and that have influenced the Bank's operations in the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. Board of Directors On March 26, 2024, at an ordinary meeting of the Board of Directors, the Board agreed to convene an Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting for April 17, 2024 in order to propose a distribution of profits and payment of dividend of 70% of the accumulated profits as of December 31, 2023, equivalent to Ch$1.84393687 per share and to propose that the remaining 30% of the profits to be used to increase reserves and/or retained earnings. Based on the above, the Bank decided to increase the minimum dividend provision to 70% of accumulated earnings for 2023. Moreover, and within the same matter, it will be proposed to grant powers to the Board of Directors to increase, during the 2024 financial year, the provision for the distribution of dividends above the legal minimum. At the ordinary Board of Directors meeting held on June 25, 2024 and by virtue of the power granted by the last Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, it was agreed to increase the dividend provision, going from the minimum base of 30% established in the Corporations Act to 60% of the accumulated profits as of June of this year and to apply that same percentage in the future months of 2024. At an ordinary meeting of the Board of Directors held on September 30, 2024, it was agreed to use the power granted at the last Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting to increase the dividends provision up to 70% of the accumulated profits as of September 30, 2024, and apply that same percentage to future months of the year 2024. Nevertheless, this decision will be revised quarterly. Shareholders' Meeting At the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Banco Santander-Chile held on April 17, 2024, together with the approval of the 2023 annual financial statements, the shareholders agreed to distribute 70% of the net profits for the year ("Profit attributable to the Bank's shareholders"), which amounted to Ch$496,404 million. This represents a dividend of Ch$1.84393687 pesos for each share for a total of Ch$347,483 million. Likewise, it was approved that the remaining 30% of net profits be allocated, in part to increase the Accumulated Earnings of previous years by the amount necessary to meet the next three interest payments of the perpetual bonds for Ch$31,655 million and to increase the Bank's Reserves and Other Retained Earnings by Ch$117,266 million. Additionally, it was also approved to grant powers to the Board of Directors to increase, during the 2024, the provision for the future distribution of dividends to an amount above the legal minimum. Furthermore, PricewaterhouseCoopers Consultores Auditores was approved as external auditors for the 2024 financial year. Subsidiaries and Associated Companies On February 12, 2024, Santander Consumer Finance Limitada announced the signing of a conditional purchase agreement for the automotive loan portfolio of Servicios Financieros Mundo Crédito SpA. On April 1, 2024, the first stage of the agreement was finalized, which includes the purchase of approximately 7,092 operations for approximately Ch$49,455 million, which according to the contract could be subject to subsequent eliminations. As of June 30, 2024, the portfolio acquired from Servicios Financieros Mundo Crédito SpA amounted to Ch$44,557 million with a credit risk loan loss provision of Ch$1,820 million. Subsequently, on July 12, 2024, the second and final stage of the purchase was completed, increasing Santander Consumer Finance Limitada's loan portfolio by Ch$14,636 million. During the months of April and May of this year, Bansa Santander S.A. and Santander Investments Chile Limitada made a series of modifications to the existing financing agreements between them. As a result, the shareholders of Bansa Santander S.A. granted Santander Investments Chile Limitada the authority to appoint one of the three members of its Board of Directors. Consequently, as of May 2024, Santander Consumer Finance Limitada lost control of Bansa Santander S.A. and had to exclude this company from its consolidation scope. By extension, Banco Santander Chile also stopped consolidating Bansa Santander S.A. As of the date of deconsolidation, Bansa Santander S.A. contributed 0.4% of total assets, 0.7% of equity, and 0.4% of the consolidated earnings of Banco Santander Chile.

NOTE 06 - REPORTING SEGMENT The Bank manages and measures the performance of its operations by business segments. Their reporting is based on the Bank's internal information system for management of the segments established by the Bank. Inter-segment transactions are conducted under normal commercial terms and conditions. Each segment's assets, liabilities, and results include items directly attributable to the segment on which they can be allocated reasonably. A business segment comprises clients to whom a differentiated product offer is directed while being homogeneous in terms of their performance and measured similarly. To achieve the strategic objectives established by senior management and adapt to changing market conditions, the Bank periodically makes adjustments to its organization. These adjustments, in turn, have varying degrees of impact on how the Bank is managed or administered. During 2024, the Bank maintains the general criteria applied in 2023, with the addition of dividing the Retail segment (formerly Individuals and SMEs) between Retail and Wealth Management & Insurance segments. For comparative purposes, the 2023 data has been revised to include these modifications. The Bank comprises the following business segments: Retail It includes individuals and small to middle-sized companies (SMEs) with an annual income of less than UF400,000. This segment offers various services, including consumer loans, credit cards, commercial loans, foreign exchange, mortgage loans, debit cards, current accounts, savings products, and brokerage of mutual fund brokerage, securities and insurance. Additionally, SME clients are offered government-guaranteed loans, leasing and factoring. Wealth Management & Insurance This segment comprises the Insurance and Private Banking businesses, also coordinating the distribution of the different investment products and services to the rest of the Santander Group's Divisions in Chile. Santander Insurance's business offers both personal and business insurance products such as, health, life, travel, savings, personal protection, auto, unemployment, among others. Finally, to high-net-worth clients, Santander Private Banking offers everything from transactional products and services (credits, cards, foreign trade, purchase/sale of shares) to sophisticated products and services such as international investment accounts, structured funds, alternative investment funds, wealth management and open architecture. Middle-market This segment includes companies with annual sales exceeding 400,000 UF without a cap (for specialized industries in the Metropolitan Region, annual sales exceeding 100,000 UF without a cap). It also encompasses institutional organizations such as universities, government agencies, municipalities, regional governments, and real estate companies undertaking projects for third-party sales, as well as all construction companies with annual sales exceeding 100,000 UF without a cap. A wide range of products is offered to this segment, including commercial loans, leasing, factoring, foreign trade, credit cards, mortgage loans, checking accounts, transactional services, treasury services, financial consulting, savings products, mutual funds, and insurance brokerage. Additionally, specialized services are provided to real estate companies for financing primarily residential projects, aiming to increase the sale of mortgage loans. Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB) This segment offers a wide range of products, including commercial loans, leasing, factoring, foreign trade, credit cards, checking accounts, transactional services, treasury services, financial consulting, investment banking, savings products, mutual funds, and insurance brokerage. This segment services firms with annual sales exceeding EUR 500 million, EBITDA over EUR 150 million, and assets exceeding EUR 1 billion. For financial institutions, the requirement is assets greater than 10 trillion Chilean pesos. This segment incorporates the Treasury Division, which provides sophisticated financial products primarily to companies in the Wholesale Banking and Corporate Banking areas. It includes products such as short-term financing and funding, brokerage services, derivatives, and other solutions tailored to client needs. The Treasury area also manages position intermediation and the proprietary investment portfolio Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements September 2024 / Banco Santander-Chile 48
NOTE 06 - REPORTING SEGMENT, continued Corporate Activities ('Other') This segment includes Financial Management, which performs the global management of the structural exchange rate position, the structural interest rate risk, and liquidity levels. The latter is managed through the implementation of issuances and other institutional funding mechanisms. Likewise, it also manages capital levels, capital assignment to the different business segments, transfer prices and the cost of financing its own investment portfolio. This usually entails that this segment has a negative contribution to the results. Furthermore, this segment incorporates all intra-segment results and all activities not allocated to a segment or product with customers. This segment includes Financial Management, which is responsible for globally managing the structural foreign exchange position, the structural interest rate risk, the inflation gap, and liquidity levels and risk of the Bank. The latter is addressed through issuances and other funding mechanisms. Additionally, it manages capital levels, allocates capital to each business segment, determines transfer prices, and the cost of funding its own investment portfolio. These activities typically result in a negative contribution to overall results. Furthermore, this segment incorporates all intra-segment results and all activities that are not assigned to a specific segment or customer-related product. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the breakdown of accounting standards and are customized to meet the Bank's management needs. The Bank's earnings stem mostly from income from interest, commissions, and financial transactions. Accordingly, the highest decision-making authority for each segment relies primarily on interest income, fee income and provision expenses to assess segment performance and thus make decisions on the resource allocation to the segments.

NOTE 22 - FINANCIAL LIABILITIES AT AMORTISED COST, continued a. Obligations to the Central Bank of Chile As part of the Central Bank of Chile's measures to address the shocks impacting the Chilean economy due to the current Covid-19 pandemic, the Credit Facility Conditional to Incrementing Loans (FCIC) program was announced. This corresponded to a financial facility open to banks, allowing them to continue funding loans for households and companies. The Bank, in order to participate in this funding mechanism, had to set aside collateral for these operations, which initially included bonds of the Central Bank of Chile, the government, and private bonds (bank and corporate) and, later commercial loans classified as high credit quality from the individually assessed loan portfolio. FCIC resources could also be accessed through the Liquidity Line of Credit (LCL), with a limit equal to the local currency reserve requirement. The FCIC consisted of an initial facility and an additional one. The first amounted to US$4,800 million. The additional line could reach four times the initial one, that is, US$19,200 million. Its availability depended on two factors: growth of the loan portfolio and targeting loans to smaller companies. Furthermore, the Central Bank created the FCIC 2 for an additional US$16,000 million.

Accordingly, the Bank measures services received, and liabilities incurred at fair value. Until settlement of the liability, the Bank determines the liability's fair value at the end of each reporting period and on the settlement date, with any fair value changes recognized in the period results. Pension plan The Bank has an additional benefit available to its senior executives, consisting of a pension plan with funds to provide for a better complementary pension upon retirement. In this respect, the Bank will complement the voluntary contributions made by beneficiaries for their future pension with an equal contribution. Executives shall earn the right to receive this benefit only if they meet the following concurrent conditions: a. Aimed at the Group's senior management. b. The general requirement for eligibility is to be still employed when they are 60 years old. c. The Bank will contract a mixed collective insurance policy (life and savings) for each executive, with the contracting party and beneficiary being the Group company to which the executive belongs. d. Periodic contributions will be made equal to the amount each manager commits to their voluntary contribution plan. e. The Bank will be responsible for granting the benefits directly. In the event of termination of the employment relationship between the executive and the respective company before meeting the conditions described above, no entitlement shall accrue to them under this benefit plan. Exceptionally, in the event of the manager's death or their total or partial disability, the manager or their heirs shall be entitled to receive this benefit as the case may be. The Bank will contribute to this benefit plan based on mixed group insurance policies, the beneficiary of which is the Bank. The life insurance company with which these policies are contracted is unrelated to the Bank or any other Group company. The Bank's entitlements under the plan as of September 30, 2024 amounted to Ch$5,582 million (Ch$5,260 million as of December 31, 2023). The Bank has quantified the amounts of the defined benefit obligations based on the following criteria: Calculation method: The projected unit credit method is used, which considers each year of service as generating an additional unit of benefit entitlement and values each unit separately. It is calculated according to the fund contribution that considers as the main parameters the factors related to the legal annual pension ceiling, the years of service, age and annual income of each unit valued individually.

NOTE 43 - TRANSACTION WITH RELATED PARTIES 'Related parties' refers to the Bank as well as its subsidiaries and associates, including 'key personnel' of the Bank's management (members of the Bank's Board of Directors and the managers of Banco Santander-Chile and its affiliates, together with their close relatives), as well as entities over which the key personnel may exercise significant influence or control. Furthermore, the Bank considers the various companies comprising Grupo Santander worldwide to be related parties, on the understanding that they all have a common parent company, which is Banco Santander SA (based in Spain). Article 89 of the Chilean Corporation Law, which also applies to banks, provides that any transaction with a related party must be carried out on fair terms and conditions similar to those normally prevailing in the market. Additionally, Article 84 of the General Banking Law limits credits granted to related parties and prohibits granting credits to the Bank's directors, general managers, or general representatives. The Bank's transactions with its related parties are listed below. For ease of understanding, we have divided the information into four categories: Grupo Santander companies This category includes entities belonging to Grupo Santander worldwide and also includes entities over which the Bank exercises some degree of control (dependent and special purposes entities). Associated companies This category includes those entities over which the Bank, as indicated in Note 1(b) of these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, exercises some degree of influence and, in general, corresponds to the so-called 'business support companies'. Key personnel This category includes the members of the Bank's Board of Directors and Upper Management of Banco Santander-Chile and its affiliates, together with their close relatives. Other This category includes those related parties not included in the groups described above, and which generally correspond to those entities over which key personnel can exercise noteworthy influence or control. The terms for transactions with related parties are equivalent to those of transactions made under market conditions or to which the corresponding considerations in kind have been attributed. a.

NOTE 44 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES Fair value is defined as the price that would be received in the event of a sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e. an exit price), regardless of whether that figure is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. The fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place in the principal market for the asset or liability or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. For those financial instruments for which market prices are not available, fair values have been estimated using recent transactions in similar instruments or, if not possible, the current values or other valuation techniques based on mathematical valuation models sufficiently validated by the international financial community. In using these models, the specific features of the asset or liability to be valued and, in particular, the different types of risks related to the asset or liability are considered. These techniques are inherently subjective and significantly affect the assumptions used, including the discount rate, estimates of future cash flows and prepayment assumptions. Therefore, the fair value of an asset or liability may not coincide exactly with the price at which the asset or liability could be delivered or settled on its valuation date and may not be justified by comparison with independent markets. Determining the fair value of financial instruments The following is a comparison between the book value of the Bank's financial assets and liabilities and their corresponding fair values as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023: As of September 30, 2024 As of December 31, 2023 Book value Fair value Book value Fair value Ch$mn Ch$mn Ch$mn Ch$mn Assets Financial assets held for trading at fair value through profit or loss 11,451,943 11,451,943 10,217,794 10,217,794 Financial derivatives contracts 10,984,099 10,984,099 10,119,486 10,119,486 Debt financial instruments 467,844 467,844 98,308 98,308 Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income 3,397,371 3,397,371 4,641,282 4,641,282 Debt financial instruments 3,359,231 3,359,231 4,536,025 4,536,025 Other financial instruments 38,140 38,140 105,257 105,257 Financial derivative contracts for hedge accounting 469,228 469,228 605,529 605,529 Debt financial instruments at amortized cost 43,908,850 44,829,621 47,834,678 47,163,936 Debt financial instruments 4,783,621 4,857,554 8,176,895 7,927,729 Interbank loans and receivables from clients 39,125,229 39,972,067 39,657,783 39,236,207 Guarantees provided for derivative financial transactions 1,813,453 1,813,453 2,238,900 2,238,900 Liabilities Financial liabilities held for trading at fair value through profit or loss 10,864,364 10,864,364 9,521,575 9,521,575 Financial derivatives contracts 10,864,364 10,864,364 9,521,575 9,521,575 Financial derivative contracts for hedge accounting 1,099,088 1,099,088 2,466,767 2,466,767 Financial liabilities at amortized cost 43,939,853 44,228,156 50,762,244 50,658,134 Deposits and other demand liabilities 13,122,845 13,122,845 13,537,826 13,537,826 Time deposits and other term equivalents 16,494,241 16,656,424 16,137,942 16,326,086 Interbank borrowing 3,536,748 3,572,929 10,366,499 10,289,810 Debt and regulatory capital financial instruments issued 10,614,823 10,704,762 10,423,704 10,208,139 Other financial liabilities 171,196 171,196 296,273 296,273 Guarantees received for financial derivative transactions 1,632,862 1,632,862 1,081,226 1,081,226 The fair value approximates, due to their short-term nature, the book value of the following items: cash and bank deposits, cash items in collection process and securities lending and repurchase agreements. Furthermore, the fair value estimates presented above are not intended to estimate the value of the Bank's profits generated by its business or future activities. They, therefore, do not represent the value of the Bank as a going concern. The methods used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are detailed below.

NOTE 44 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES, continued 1. Debt financial instruments The estimated fair value of these financial instruments was established using market values or estimates from an available dealer or quoted market prices of similar financial instruments. Investments are valued at carrying value (recorded) as they are not considered to have a fair value significantly different from their historical one. To estimate the fair value of debt investments, other variables and additional elements (where applicable) were considered, including the estimated prepayment rates and the credit risk of the issuers. 2. Interbank loans and receivables from clients The fair value of commercial, mortgage, credit cards and consumer loans are measured using discounted cash flow analysis. For this purpose, prevailing market interest rates are used regarding the product, term, amount and similar credit quality. The fair value of loans overdue by 90 days or more is measured using the market value of the associated collateral, discounted at the expected realization rate and term. The estimated fair value is based on the book value for variable-rate loans whose interest rates frequently change (monthly or quarterly) and are not subject to any significant change in credit risk. The account balances and fair values are presented net of provisions for credit risk. 3. Deposits and other demand obligations The disclosed fair value of non-interest-bearing deposits and savings accounts is the amount payable at the reporting date and equal to the book value. The fair value of time deposits is calculated using the discounted cash flow method, which applies current interest rates offered to a schedule of monthly maturities expected in the market. 4. Short and long-term issued debt instruments The fair value of these financial instruments is calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the current incremental lending rates for similar loan types with similar maturities. 5. Financial derivatives and hedge accounting contracts The estimated fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts was calculated using quoted market prices for financial instruments with similar characteristics. The fair value of interest rate swaps represents the estimated amount the Bank determines as the exit price under IFRS 13. If there are no quoted market prices (direct or indirect) for any derivative instruments, the respective fair value estimates are calculated using valuation models and techniques such as Black-Scholes, Hull and Monte Carlo simulations. It considers relevant inputs such as option volatility, observable correlations between underlying values, counterparty credit risk, implied price volatility, the speed with which volatility reverts to its mean value and the linear relationship (correlation) between the value of a variable. Fair value measurement and hierarchy IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement' establishes a fair value hierarchy, which segregates the valuation technique's inputs and/or assumptions used to measure the fair value of financial instruments. The hierarchy prioritizes unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1). The lowest priority is given to significant inputs with unobservable data (level 3 measures). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: • Level 1: inputs are quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Bank can access at the measurement date. • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which can be observed directly or indirectly for assets or liabilities. • Level 3: unobservable input for the asset or liability. The estimated fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts was calculated using quoted market prices for financial instruments with similar characteristics. The fair value of interest rate swaps represents the estimated amount the Bank expects to receive or pay to terminate the contracts or agreements, considering the term structures of the interest rate curve, volatility of the underlying and the credit risk of the counterparties.

NOTE 44 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES, continued In cases in which quotes cannot be observed, management makes its best estimate of the price that the market would set using its internal models, which in most cases use data based on observable market parameters as significant inputs (Level 2) and, in limited cases, use significant inputs that are not observable in market data (Level 3). Various techniques are used to estimate it, including extrapolating observable market data. Financial instruments at fair value and determined by published quotations in active markets (Level 1) comprise: • Instruments of the Chilean Central Bank and the General Treasury of the Republic. • Instruments issued abroad. • Mutual Funds. If the instruments are not 100% market observable, the price is a function of other market observable prices (Level 2). The following financial instruments are classified in level 2: Type of financial instrument Valuation model used Description Mortgage and private bonds Present value of cash flows RiskAmerica provides the internal rates of return (IRR) according to the following criteria: On the valuation day, if there are one or more valid transactions in the Santiago Stock Exchange for a given mnemonic code, the reported rate is the weighted average of said rates. If there are no valid transactions for a given mnemonic data on the valuation day, the reported rate is an 'IRR baseline' from a reference structure plus a 'Model Spread' based on information from historical spreads of the same or similar documents. Time deposits Present value of cash flows RiskAmerica provides the internal rates of return (IRR) according to the following criteria: On the valuation day, if there are one or more valid transactions in the Santiago Stock Exchange for a given mnemonic code, the reported rate is the weighted average of said rates. If there are no valid transactions for a given mnemonic code on the valuation day, the reported rate is an 'IRR baseline' from a reference structure plus a 'Model Spread' based on the 'Issuer curves'. Constant Maturity Swap (CMS), Forward FX and Inflation, Cross Currency Swap (CCS), Interest Rate Swap (IRS) Present value of cash flows Rates (IRR) are provided by ICAP, GFI, Tradition and Bloomberg according to the following criteria: The published market prices are used to construct the valuation curve using the bootstrapping method, and then this curve is used to value the various derivatives. FX Options Black-Scholes Formula adjusted by the volatility smile (implicit volatility). BGC Partners provide prices (volatilities) according to the following criteria: The volatility surface is built through interpolation using published market prices, and these volatilities are then used to value the options. Guarantees for threshold transactions, guarantee deposits Present value of cash flows Transactions related to derivatives contracts such as Constant Maturity Swap (CMS), Forward FX and Inflation, Cross Currency Swap (CCS), Interest Rate Swap (IRS) and FX Options. In limited cases, unobservable inputs are used in market data (Level 3). Various techniques are used to estimate this, including extrapolating observable market data or a mix of observable data.

NOTE 44 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES, continued The following financial instruments are classified at level 3: Type of financial instrument Valuation model used Description Caps/Floors/Swaptions Black Normal model for Cap/Floors and Swaptions There is no observable input of implied volatility. Black-Scholes There is no observable input of implied volatility. Hull-White Hybrid HW model for rates and Brownian motion for FX. There is no observable input of implied volatility. Implicit Forward Rate Agreement (FRA) Start Fwd is unsupported by Murex (platform) due to the UF forward estimate. CCS, IRS, CMS in Active Bank Rate (TAB) Present value of cash flows Valuation obtained using yield curve interpolating to maturity of flows. Nevertheless, TAB is not a directly observable variable nor correlated to any market input. Present value of cash flows Valuation using prices of instruments with similar characteristics plus a liquidity charge-off rate. CCS (maturities over 30 years) Present value of cash flows Rates (IRR) are provided by ICAP, GFI, Tradition and Bloomberg according to the following criteria: The published market prices are used to construct the valuation curve using the bootstrapping method and then this curve is used to value the various derivatives. Recognition bonds Spread over risk-free Valuation by the stochastic dynamic model to obtain the discount rate. Receivables accounts valued at fair value Present value of cash flows Measured by discounting the estimated cash flow using the interest rate of the new contracts. Mortgage notes Present value of cash flows The rates (IRR) are provided by RiskAmerica according to the following criteria: If on the valuation day there are one or more valid transactions on the Santiago Stock Exchange for a given mnemonic, the rate reported is the weighted average by the amount of observed rates. If there are no valid transactions for a given mnemonic on the day of valuation, the rate reported is a "base IRR", based on a reference structure, plus a "Model Spread" based on historical spread information for the same or similar instruments. The Bank estimates that any changes in the unobservable inputs for instruments classified as level 3 would not result in significant differences in the fair value measurement.

The methods and assumptions for estimating fair value are defined below: • Loans and amounts owed by credit institutions and clients: Fair value is estimated for groups of loans with similar characteristics. The fair value was measured by discounting the estimated cash flow using the interest rate of the new contracts. First, the future cash flow of the current loan portfolio is estimated using contractual rates. Then the new loans distributed over the risk-free interest rate are incorporated into the (risk-free) yield curve to calculate the loan portfolio at fair value. Regarding behavioral assumptions, it is important to underline that a prepayment rate is applied to the loan portfolio, resulting in a more realistic future cash flow. • Deposit and Bank Borrowings: The fair value of deposits was calculated by discounting the difference between the cash flows on a contractual basis and prevailing market rates for instruments with similar maturities. The book value was considered to approximate the fair value for variable-rate deposits. • Debt instruments issued and other financial obligations: The fair value of long-term borrowings was estimated using the discounted cash flow to the interest rate presented in the market with similar terms and maturities. The valuation techniques used to estimate each level are defined in Note 2. There were no transfers between levels 1 and 2 as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023. The following table presents the Bank's activity for assets and liabilities recurrently measured at fair value using significant inputs with unobserved data (level 3) as of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and December 31, 2023: Assets Liabilities Ch$mn Ch$mn Balance as of January 1, 2024 105,711 - Total realized and unrealized profit (loss): Included in profits (19) - Included in comprehensive income 5,264 - Acquisitions, issues, liquidations, and placements (net) (72,495) 43 Level transfers 8,310 110 As of September 30, 2024 46,771 153 Total profit or loss included in profit or loss as of September 30, 2024 attributable to the change in unrealized profit (loss) relating to assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2023 (58,940) 153 Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023

During the year 2024, the Bank has not carried out reclassifications in instruments that were at level 3 to level 2. Realized and unrealized profit (loss) included in results as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, on assets and liabilities recurrently measured at fair value through significant inputs of unobservable data (Level 3) are recorded in the Interim Consolidated Income Statements under 'Net income from financial results'. The potential effect as of September 30, 2024, and 2023, on the valuation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis through significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) that would arise from a change in the main assumptions in the case of using other reasonably possible hypotheses that are less favorable or more favorable than those used, is not considered significant for the Bank.

NOTE 47 - RISK MANAGEMENT General information The Bank has placed risk management at the center of its activity to ensure that the organization as a whole acts responsibly in the new social context, economic changes, customer demands and the business environment, always aligned with the strong corporate culture and abiding of the legal regulations in force. The risk management and control model are underpinned by a set of common principles, a risk culture integrated into the Bank in its entirety, a strong governance structure, and advanced risk management processes and tools. Banco Santander's risk management and control principles are mandatory, must always be applied, and comprise the regulatory requirements and best practices. They are: 1. A strong risk culture that all employees follow, that covers all risks, and promotes socially responsible management, contributing to the Bank's long-term sustainability. 2. All employees are responsible for risk management and must know and understand the risks generated by their daily activities. They must avoid taking risks whose impact is unknown or exceeds the Bank's risk appetite limits. 3. Involvement of senior management in ensuring consistent risk management and control through their conduct, actions, and communications. Senior management promotes risk culture, assessing its degree of implementation and monitoring that the profile remains within the levels defined in the Bank's risk appetite. 4. Independence of risk management and control functions. 5. Comprehensive anticipatory risk management and control approach across all businesses and risk types. 6. Proper and comprehensive information management, which enables risks to be identified, assessed, managed and communicated appropriately at the respective levels. These principles, together with several interconnected tools and processes of the strategy, such as the risk appetite, risk profile assessment, scenario analysis, risk reporting structure, and annual budget processes, all articulate a holistic control structure for the entire Bank. The Bank has a solid risk culture known as Risk Pro, which defines how risks are understood and managed daily. It is based on the principle that all employees are responsible for risk management, where their classification is fundamental for effective management and control. All identified risks should, therefore, be associated with risk categories to organize their management, control and related information. The Bank's risk classification enables effective risk management, control and communication. Its corporate risk framework includes the following: • Credit risk: it is the risk of financial loss arising from the default or deterioration in the credit quality of a customer or counterparty to which Banco Santander Chile has provided financing or has assumed a contractual obligation. • Market risks: they arise from holding financial instruments whose value may be affected by changes in market conditions; they generally include the following types of risk: • Foreign exchange risk, which arises from changes in the exchange rate between currencies. • Fair value interest rate risk, which arises from changes in market interest rates. • Price risk, which arises from changes in market prices, either due to factors specific to the instrument itself or factors affecting all instruments traded in the market. • Inflation risk, which arises due to changes in inflationary indices in Chile, which would apply mainly to financial instruments denominated in UF. • Liquidity risk: it is the risk that liquid financial resources will not be available to meet obligations as they become due or can only be obtained at a high cost. • Operational risk: it is the risk of loss due to inadequate or failed internal processes, employees and systems or due to external events. It includes legal risk and conduct risk. • Capital risk: it is the risk that the Bank has insufficient capital quantity and/or quality to meet the minimum requirements to operate as a bank, respond to market expectations regarding its credit capacity and support the growth of its business and any strategies that may emerge per its strategic plan. Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023
NOTE 47 - RISK MANAGEMENT , continued Risk governance The Bank has a robust risk governance structure that pursues effective control of the risk profile, consistent with the appetite defined by the Board. It is based on the distribution of roles among the three lines of defense and a strong committee structure, which is reinforced by the Risk Pro culture that permeates the entire organization. The Bank's model of three lines of defense aims to ensure effective risk management and control: First line Business lines and all other risk-creating functions constitute the first lines of defense. These functions must ensure their risks align with the approved risk appetite and corresponding limits. Any unit that originates risk has primary responsibility for managing said risk. Second line The areas directly involved in managing Risks, Compliance and Conduct constitute the second line of defense. Their role is to independently monitor and challenge the risk management activities of the first line of defense. These functions ensure risk management complies with the risk appetite defined by the Board and promote a strong risk culture throughout the organization. Third line The Internal Audit function regularly assesses that policies, methodologies, and procedures are adequate and effectively implemented in managing and controlling all risks. The risk, compliance and internal audit functions have an adequate level of separation and independence, as well as direct access to the Board and its committees. Risk committee structure The Board of Directors is responsible for establishing and monitoring the Bank's risk management structure. It has a corporate governance system aligned with local regulations and international best practices. Furthermore, it has several high-level committees that are key to risk management, each of which is composed of directors and executive members of Santander's management and are described in detail in the Corporate Governance section of this Report: 1. Integral Risk Committee (CIR) The Board's Integral Risk Committee is the body responsible for advising the Board on the definition of the risk appetite that the business areas may assume and supervising the correct identification, measurement, and control of all risks that may affect the Bank. In addition, this committee acts as a governance body through which the Board oversees the reasonableness of risk measurement and control systems. 2. Directors and Audit Committee (CDA) The main objective of the committee is to supervise the Bank and its subsidiaries in the process of generating the financial statements. This also includes the supervising the internal and external auditors in this process so that the institution provides adequate information for its shareholders, investors, and the general public. All of this with to ensure the efficiency of the company's internal control systems, as well as its compliance with the applicable rules and regulations. 3. Asset and Liability and Markets Committee (ALCO) This committee’s main functions are to monitor and manage the structural balance sheet risks, such as inflation exposure limits, interest rate risk, capital funding levels and liquidity. Furthermore, it reviews the developments in the most relevant local and international monetary markets and policies, as well as revealing and analyzing the main economic and risk factors that directly impact the performance of the trading portfolios. 4. Appointment Committee This committee constantly reviews the application of appointment policies and processes to those positions defined as 'key personnel' and reviews the application of these policies to other individuals in the organization. 5. Remuneration Committee The function of this committee is to constantly review the regulatory documentation concerning the evaluation and remuneration of positions defined as 'key personnel' and also of other persons in the organization in general. Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023
NOTE 47 - RISK MANAGEMENT , continued The Board delegates the identification, measurement and control of the various risks faced by the Bank to the Risk Division, which is led by the Chief Risk Officer (CRO) and reports directly to the CEO. The Chief Risk Officer (CRO) is responsible for monitoring all risks and reviewing and advising the business lines on managing these risks. This division is responsible for credit, market, non-financial, compliance, and reputational risks. The Director of Internal Audit reports directly to the Chairman of the Board of Directors to ensure independence from senior management and thus be an effective third line of defense in risk management and internal control. CREDIT RISK Credit risk is the risk arising from the default or deterioration in the credit quality of a client or counterparty to which the Bank has provided financing or assumed a contractual obligation. It is our most relevant risk, both in terms of exposure and capital consumption. Credit risk management The Bank's credit risk identification, analysis, decision and control processes are based on a comprehensive view of the credit risk cycle, including the initial transaction, the client and the portfolio. Identifying credit risk allows for active management and effective control of portfolios. External and internal risks are identified and classified in each business to adopt corrective and mitigating measures where necessary, through the following processes: 1. Planning: Planning allows us to establish business objectives and define concrete action plans according to our risk appetite. The commercial strategic plans are a management and control tool defined by the business and risk areas for our credit portfolios. These strategic plans determine the commercial strategies, risk policies, channels and infrastructure needed to fulfil the strategic plan of each business unit, ensuring a holistic view of the loan portfolios. 2. Risk assessment and credit rating process: Risk approval criteria are generally based on the ability of borrowers to meet their financial obligations. The funds or net cash flows from their business or regular income are analyzed to determine this capacity. Our credit quality assessment models are built around rating engines, different for each of our segments, which we monitor and test to fine-tune the decisions and ratings that are assigned. 3. Scenario analysis: This enables the determination of potential risks in credit portfolios, providing a better understanding of their behavior under different macroeconomic conditions, as well as anticipating and applying strategies to avoid future deviations from established plans and goals. 4. Monitoring: Holistic monitoring of all clients facilitates the observation of credit quality and early detection of impacts on risk evolution. The periodic monitoring of business performance and its comparison with pre-established plans are essential in credit risk management. Our monitoring function uses a system that helps establish client-specific monitoring levels, policies and actions. 5. Credit risk mitigation techniques: Risk approval criteria are based on determining the ability of borrowers to meet their financial obligations without relying on collateral or pledged assets as security. These are always considered as a second recovery channel in case the first one fails and are defined as a reinforcement measure added to a credit operation to mitigate the loss in case of default. 6. Recovery management: Recovery management defines a strategy based on the economic environment, business model and other particularities of local recovery. Effective and efficient recovery management requires segmenting our customers according to their characteristics and using new digital channels that support the creation of sustainable value through recoveries. The Board has delegated responsibility for credit risk management to the Integrated Risk Committee (IRC) and the Bank's risk departments, whose roles are summarized below: • Formulation of credit policies, in consultation with the business units, covering collateral requirements, credit assessment, risk rating and reporting, documents and legal procedures in compliance with regulatory, legal and internal Bank requirements. • Establishing the authorization structure for the approval and renewal of credit applications. The Bank structures credit risk levels by limiting the concentration of credit risk in terms of individual debtors, groups of debtors, industry segments and countries. • Authorization limits are assigned to the respective business unit officers (commercial, consumer, SME) and are monitored continuously by the administration. Furthermore, these limits are regularly reviewed. Risk assessment teams at the branch level regularly interact with clients. Nevertheless, for large operations, the risk teams at the head office and even the Risk Committee may collaborate directly with clients in assessing credit risks and preparing credit applications. Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023
NOTE 47 - RISK MANAGEMENT , continued • Limiting exposure concentrations to customers, counterparties, in geographic areas, industries (for receivables or credits), by issuer, credit ratings and liquidity (for investments). • Developing and maintaining the Bank's risk classification to categorize risks by the exposure to financial loss of the respective instruments and with the purpose to focus risk management specifically on the related risks. • Reviewing and assessing credit risk. The risk divisions are largely independent of the Bank's commercial division and assess all credit risks above designated limits before customer credit approvals or financial investments. Credit renewals and reviews are subject to similar processes. The risk assessment teams regularly interact with our clients. Risk teams collaborate directly with clients to assess credit risks and prepare credit applications for larger transactions. Credit approval committees, including risk and commercial staff, must ensure that each applicant meets appropriate qualitative and quantitative parameters. The Bank's Board of Directors defines the powers of each committee. In preparing a credit application for a corporate customer whose loans are approved on an individual basis, the Bank verifies various parameters such as the debt servicing capacity (including, typically, projected cash flows), the customer's financial history, and/or their projections for the economic sector in which they operate. The risk division is actively involved in this process and prepares the credit application for the customer. All applications contain an analysis of the client's strengths and weaknesses, a rating and a recommendation. Credit limits are not determined based on outstanding customer balances but on the financial group's direct and indirect credit risk. For example, a corporation would be assessed with its subsidiaries and affiliates. Their respective risk divisions assess and approve consumer loans (individuals, SMEs). The assessment is based on an evaluation system known as GARRA, an automated process with a scoring system that includes the credit risk policies implemented by the Bank's Board of Directors. The credit application process is based on collecting information to determine the client's financial situation and ability to pay. The parameters used to assess the applicant's credit risk include several variables such as income levels, length of current employment, indebtedness, and credit bureau reports. For investments in debt instruments, the Bank assesses the probability of non-collectability or default of issuers or counterparties using internal and external assessments such as the independent risk assessors. Furthermore, the Bank adheres to a strict and conservative policy that ensures that the investment issuers and counterparties to derivative transactions have the highest reputation. Furthermore, the Bank operates with several instruments which involve exposure to credit risk, but this is not reflected in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, such as guarantees and warranties, documented letters of credit and contingent commitments to extend credit. Guarantees and warranties represent an irrevocable payment obligation. If a guaranteed customer defaults on its obligations to third parties guaranteed by the Bank, the Bank will make the corresponding payments. These transactions involve the same credit risk exposure as ordinary loans. Documented letters of credit are commitments recorded by the Bank on behalf of the customer. They are secured by the traded goods they relate to and have a lower risk than direct borrowing. The guaranteed bonds are contingent commitments that become effective only if the customer fails to perform the works agreed with a third party, as guaranteed by the bonds. In the case of contingent commitments to extend credit, the Bank is potentially exposed to losses equal to the total unused portion of the commitment. Nevertheless, the probable loss amount is less than the unused total of the commitment. In addition, the Bank monitors the maturity period of the credit lines because long-term commitments generally have a higher credit risk than short-term commitments. Covid-19 Solutions The government has supported SMEs by expanding the Guarantee Fund for Small Entrepreneurs (Fogape) and by amending rules and regulations to encourage banks to provide working capital loans to small businesses. Regarding credit risk provisions, the FMC required the setting aside of specific provisions for loans guaranteed by Fogape guarantees. These provisions must be calculated based on expected losses, estimating the risk of each operation without considering the substitution of the guarantor's credit quality, following the individual or group analysis method as applicable, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter B-1 of the CASB. See Note 2, section q. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the balance of provisions for this concept amounted to Ch$5,264 million and Ch$10,170 million, respectively. Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023
NOTE 47 - RISK MANAGEMENT , continued Additional provisions According to FMC regulation, banks can establish provisions above the already described limits to protect themselves from the risk of non-predictable economic fluctuations that could affect the macroeconomic environment or a specific economic sector. These provisions shall be reported under liabilities per number 9 of Chapter B-1 of the FMC's CASB. The Bank's Board of Directors, due to the adverse effects caused by the pandemic, the decrease in state aid, and the current economic situation, approved the constitution of additional voluntary provisions, which as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023 amount to Ch$293,000 million. Maximum credit risk exposure For financial assets recognized in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, the exposure to credit risk is equal to their carrying amount. The maximum credit risk exposure for financial guarantees granted is the maximum amount the Bank would have to pay if the guarantee were enforced. The following is the distribution by financial asset of the Bank's maximum credit risk exposure as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, without deducting collateral and credit enhancements received: As of September 30, 2024 As of December 31, 2023 Amount of exposure Amount of exposure Note Ch$mn Ch$mn Deposits in banks 7 1,894,336 2,723,282 Cash in collection process 7 874,353 812,524 Financial assets held for trading at fair value through profit or loss 8 Financial derivatives contracts 10,984,099 10,119,486 Debt instruments 467,844 98,308 Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income 11 Debt instruments 3,359,231 4,536,025 Loans and receivables from clients 38,140 105,257 Financial derivative contracts for hedge accounting 12 469,228 605,529 Financial assets at amortized cost 13 Debt instruments 4,783,621 8,176,895 Interbank loans 2,126 68,326 Loans and receivables from clients 39,123,103 39,589,457 Unrecognized loan/credit commitments: Letters of credit for goods movement transactions 311,308 262,496 Transactions related to contingent events 1,782,751 1,641,510 Immediately repayable unrestricted credit lines 10,115,297 9,490,141 Guarantees and sureties 437,231 494,104 Contingent loans linked to CAE 486 813 Other credit commitments 136,403 313,505 Total 74,779,557 79,037,658 As defined in the CASB, the provisions for credit risk on loans and receivables (Due from banks and loans and receivables from clients) and contingent credits are determined under the criteria defined in Chapters B-1 to B-3 of the CASB. At the same time, loans and receivables from clients and debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and debt instruments measured at amortized cost have any impairments measured according to Chapter 5.5 of IFRS 9. Debt instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss are not subject to impairment requirements. In the case of derivatives, the fair value of derivatives includes the adjustment reflecting the counterparty credit risk (CVA). The CVA is calculated considering the potential exposure to each counterparty in future periods.

NOTE 47 - RISK MANAGEMENT , continued The methodology established for determining provisions for loan losses (Due from banks and loans and receivables from clients) and contingent loans is set out in Note 2 (q). The methodology used for calculating provisions for loans and receivables and debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and debt instruments measured at amortized cost is described in Note 2 (r). Information related to the concentration of credit risk is provided in Note 13, letters k, m, and n. For derivative instruments, as of December 31, 2023, the Bank's foreign exposure, including counterparty risk in the derivatives portfolio, was US$3 billion or 25% of assets. The table below calculates the derivative exposure using the corresponding credit risk, which is equal to the net replacement value plus the maximum potential value, considering cash collateral that mitigates the exposure. Additional details regarding our exposure to countries rated above 1 and corresponding to the largest exposures are also included. The exposure as of September 30, 2024, considering the fair value of derivative instruments, amounts to: Derivative instruments (Market-adjusted) Deposits Loans Financial Investments Total exposure Domestic Loans Ranking US$ Million US$ Million US$ Million US$ Million US$ Million Hong Kong 2 - 11 - - 11 Italia 2 - 1 - - 1 México 3 2 - 1 - 3 Total 2 12 1 - 15 Our exposure to Spain within the group is as follows: Counterpart Domestic Loans Classification Derivative instruments (market-adjusted) Deposits Loans Financial investments Total exposure In US$ million.

Recognition and measurement of credit risk provisions The Bank segments loans and contingent loans by the type of debtor and loan to an appropriate level of detail for applying the credit risk models. Provisions required to cover loans and contingent loan exposures are calculated and set up monthly in relation to the valuation models used and the type of transaction. Provisions established for financial assets measured at amortized cost and Loans and receivables at fair value through other comprehensive income are treated as valuation accounts for the respective assets. The amount of the portfolio net of provisions is reported in the Interim Statements of Financial Position. Additional provisions and contingent loan provisions are reported under liabilities, in accordance with the instructions of the FMC. Provisions for financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are presented in Note 11, provisions for financial assets at amortized cost are presented in Note 13 and special provisions for credit risk (contingent loans, country risk, additional provisions) are presented in Note 26. The following is a breakdown of loans (due from banks and receivables from clients) and contingent loan exposures and the corresponding established provisions according to CASB standards (B1 to B3) as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023: As of September 30, 2024 (**) Ch$mn Financial assets before provisions Established provisions Normal Portfolio Substandard Portfolio Impaired Portfolio Normal Portfolio Substandard Portfolio Impaired Portfolio Deductible FOGAPE Covid-19 guarantee s Assessment Assessment Assessment Assessment Assessment Assessment Individual Group Individual Individual Group Individual Group Individual Individual Group Interbank loans 2,129 - - - - 3 - - - - - Commercial loans 9,761,808 4,818,498 1,145,033 786,054 498,008 108,570 73,095 34,833 276,436 193,386 5,264 Mortgage loans - 16,706,604 - - 869,981 - 34,023 - - 121,922 - Consumer loans - 5,433,873 - - 302,613 - 167,352 - - 184,488 - Contingent loan exposure 1,650,470 863,163 89,232 9,543 13,791 15,775 6,175 4,660 4,883 8,811 - ** See Note 13 letters c, d and e for further details.

Accordingly, their risk has been classified as low (no significant increase in risk). The description of the main components of the IFRS 9 model used by the Bank to determine these provisions can be found in Note 2 (r). As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the loans included in the portfolio of loans and receivables measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are assets of a high credit quality with individual assessment (normal portfolio). Distressed Loans The distressed loan portfolio includes debtors and their loans for which recovery is considered remote, as they: show an impaired or zero payment capacity, have been subject to forced restructuring, are overdue by 90 days or more in the payment of interest or principal, and are classified in the non-performing portfolio (C1 to C6).

Debt instruments and loans and receivables measured at fair value through other comprehensive income do not present any non- performance. Individual/Group Group assessments are suitable for dealing with many transactions in which each transaction is of a low amounts to individuals or small companies. The Bank groups debtors with similar credit risk characteristics by associating each group with a certain probability of non-performing and a recovery rate based on a substantiated historical analysis. To this end, the Bank implemented the standard model for mortgage and commercial loans and its own internal model for consumer loans. Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023
NOTE 47 - RISK MANAGEMENT , continued IFRS 9 aims to recognize expected credit loss over the asset's life, attending to significant increases in credit risk since the initial recognition. This may require a group assessment as the increase in credit risk may become more evident before the financial instrument is overdue, depending on the instrument's nature and available information. Always on the premise that information is available at no cost or effort. The grouping is based on similar risk characteristics. Impaired loans The impaired portfolio consists of the non-performing loans (C1 to C6) plus B3 and B4 in the case of individual assessment. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the impaired portfolio amounts to Ch$2,694,292 million and Ch$2,291,620 million, respectively. IFRS 9 defines an asset as impaired when one or more events harm the estimated future cash flows, as evidenced by the issuer's financial difficulties, default or delinquency, bankruptcy or financial reorganization, and disappearance from the active markets, among other factors. Debt instruments, and loans and receivables measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are not impaired. Write-offs Write-offs must be made when the contractual rights to cash flows expire. Write-offs result in a derecognition from the Statement of Financial Position and include any outstanding portion in the case of installment loans. Additional circumstances could lead to a loan write-off, such as when the Bank concludes that it will not obtain any flows, when there is no enforceable title, when collection actions become time-barred or when the deadlines defined by the FMC are reached (see Note 2 letter q). As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, loan write-offs amount to Ch$456,334 million and Ch$456,947 million, respectively. IFRS 9 states that a write-off occurs when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows in whole or in part. A write-off constitutes a recognition in the financial statements. Debt instruments and loans and accounts receivable from customers measured at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income do not present written-off instruments/operations. Reconciliation of provisions and loans The reconciliation between the opening and closing balance of established provisions for financial assets measured at amortized cost and for contingent claims is presented in Note 13 (f, g, h, i and j). The reconciliation between the opening and closing balance of established provisions for financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is presented in Note 11.

On this basis, the constitution of guarantees is a necessary but insufficient instrument in the granting of a loan; therefore, the acceptance of the risk by the Bank requires the verification of other variables or parameters, such as the capacity to pay or the generation of resources to mitigate the risk incurred. The securities management and valuation procedures are set out in the internal risk management policy. These policies set out the basic principles for credit risk management, including managing collateral received in client transactions. In this respect, the risk management model includes assessing the existence of appropriate and sufficient guarantees to recover the loan when the debtor's circumstances do not allow it to meet its obligations. The procedures used for the valuation of collateral align with best market practice, involving appraisals on real estate collateral, the market price on stock market securities, the value of units in an investment fund, etc. In addition, all received guarantees must be properly instrumented, registered, and approved by the Bank's legal division. The Bank also has rating tools that enable it to rank the credit quality of transactions or clients. The Bank has historical databases that store internally generated information to study how this probability varies. Rating tools vary according to the customer segment analyzed (commercial, consumer, SME, etc.).

NOTE 47 - RISK MANAGEMENT , continued Residential Mortgage loans, by their nature, are secured by the properties that generated the loan, meaning the property acquired by the client serves as collateral for the operation. When the Bank is in a position to receive or foreclose on a property, it is recorded as an "Asset received or foreclosed in payment," derecognizing the loan and its provision. The asset received is recorded at the lower of its book value and its fair value (appraised value) minus selling costs, in accordance with IFRS 5, and categorized as held for sale. Once a loan is derecognized, no further enforcement activities are undertaken. Impaired and non-impaired financial assets with associated guarantees, collateral or credit enhancements in favor of the Bank as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, are presented below: As of September 30, 2024 As of December 31, 2023 Ch$mn Ch$mn Non-impaired financial assets Properties/mortgages 27,603,298 29,279,845 Investments and others 8,105,434 5,300,893 Impaired financial assets Properties/mortgages 3,007,049 2,444,084 Investments and others 343,308 293,347 Total 39,059,089 37,318,169 Financial derivative transactions are secured by collateral agreements deposited or transferred by one party in favor of the other, either in cash or financial instruments, and reduce the counterparty's credit risk. These guarantees are monitored periodically (usually daily). Accordingly, the net balance per counterparty is determined based on agreed parameters, and a decision is taken concerning whether collateral is to be posted or collected. Loan limits of debtors related to the ownership or management of the Bank According to Article 84, No 2 of the General Banking Law (LGB) and the UCBR 12-4, the total amount of loans granted to a group of related persons may not exceed 5% of the bank's regulatory capital; this limit increases to 25% if what exceeds 5% corresponds to loans secured by guarantees. In no case may the total of such loans granted by a bank exceed the amount of its regulatory capital. Furthermore, these loans may not be granted on more favorable terms in terms of maturity, interest rates or guarantees than those granted to third parties in similar operations. A person's relationship with the Bank emerges when they have a direct, indirect or third-party ownership interest in the Bank, participate in the management or are presumed to have such a relationship until there is sufficient evidence to refute the presumption. A group of persons related to the Bank shall be understood to include all natural and legal persons who can exert significant and permanent influence on the decisions of the other, in which there is a presumption that loans granted to one person will be used for the benefit of another, or that there is a well-founded presumption that the persons maintain a relationship and form a unit of economic interest. Subsidiaries, business support companies and affiliated companies are companies related to a bank. Security over movable or immovable tangible property, or any other property that may legitimately be received as security, constitutes valid security. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the lending limit for debtors related to the ownership or management of the Bank under Article 84 No 2 of the General Banking Law and Chapter 12-4 of the UCBR are as follows: As of September 30, 2024 As of December 31, 2023 % Ch$mn % Ch$mn Overall limit to related groups of persons 7% 479,400 7% 488,511 Regulatory capital 6,848,574 6,978,733 Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023
NOTE 47 - RISK MANAGEMENT , continued MARKET RISK Market risk arises due to market activity through financial instruments whose value may be affected by changes in market conditions, which are reflected in changes in the various assets/liabilities and financial risk factors. Market risk management aims to manage and control market risk exposure within acceptable parameters. Four main risk factors affect market prices: interest rates, exchange rates, price, and inflation. • Interest Rate Risk: the exposure to losses arising from adverse changes in market interest rates that affect the value of instruments, contracts and other transactions recorded on the balance sheet. • Exchange risk is the sensitivity to losses arising from adverse changes in the value of the exchange rates of foreign currencies, including gold, in which the instruments, contracts and other transactions recorded on the balance sheet are denominated. • Inflation risk is the exposure to losses arising from adverse changes in the units or indices of readjustment defined in national currency. The instruments, contracts, and other transactions are denominated on the balance sheet. • Price risk is generated by the volatility of rates or prices of assets or liabilities. Prepayment risk arises when, based on price movements, holders can alter the future cash flows of these assets or liabilities, leading to balance sheet mismatches that pose additional challenges to market risk management. Market risk management The measurement and control of market risks are the responsibility of Market Risk Area, which is part of the Risk Division. The appropriate committees approve the limits, with responsibility resting mainly with the ALCO. The Integrated Risk Committee also reviews the principal market risks. The Financial and Capital Management areas, as part of the Financial Vice-Presidency, have the following functions, which are supervised and controlled by the ALCO and Risk Division: i. To optimize the cost of liabilities and seek the most efficient financing strategies, including issuing bonds and bank facilities. ii. Management of short- and long-term regulatory liquidity limits. iii. Inflation risk management and exposure. iv. To manage local and foreign currency rate risk. v. Capital adequacy and requirements. Rate sensitivity is measured primarily using an analysis that quantifies the impact on earnings and the balance sheet of parallel movements in the real and nominal interest rate curve in Pesos and US dollars. The Bank's internal management for measuring market risk is mainly based on analyzing the management of the following three components: • Trading portfolio. • Local financial management portfolio. • Foreign financial management portfolio. The Treasury manages the Bank's trading portfolios and ensures they remain within the loss limits determined, calculated and estimated by the Market Risk Area. The trading portfolio (measured at fair value through profit or loss) consists mainly of those investments measured at fair value, free of any restriction on their immediate sale and which are often bought and sold by the Bank to sell them in the short term to benefit from short-term price movements. Financial management portfolios (measured at fair value through other comprehensive income) include all financial investments not considered in the trading portfolio. The roles that concern the trading portfolio comprise the following: i. applying Value-at-Risk (VaR) techniques to measure interest rate risk, ii. adjusting trading portfolios to market and the measurement of daily profit and loss from trading activities, iii. comparing the actual VAR with the established limits Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023
NOTE 47 - RISK MANAGEMENT , continued, iv. establishing loss control procedures for losses above predetermined limits, and v. providing information on trading activities to the ALCO, other members of the Bank's management, and the Global Risk Department. The functions regarding financial management portfolios entail the following: i. Applying sensitivity simulations (as explained below) to measure the interest rate risk of local currency activities and the potential loss predicted by these simulations and ii. Providing the respective daily reports to the ALCO, other members of the Bank's Management, and the Global Risk Department. Market risk - Trading portfolio The Bank applies VaR methodologies to measure exchange rate risk and sensitivity to interest rates of the trading portfolio. The Bank has a consolidated commercial position comprised of fixed income investments and foreign currency trading. This portfolio is essentially composed of bonds from the Central Bank of Chile, mortgage bonds and low risk locally issued corporate bonds. At the end of the year, the trading portfolio did not contain investments in equity. For the Bank, the VaR estimate is carried out using a historical simulation methodology, which consists of observing the behavior of the losses and gains that would have occurred with the current portfolio using the market conditions of a predetermined historical period. From that information, the maximum loss is inferred with a certain level of confidence. The methodology has the advantage of accurately reflecting the historical distribution of market variables and of not requiring any specific probability distribution assumptions. All VaR measures are intended to determine the distribution function for the change in the value of a given portfolio, and once this distribution is known, to calculate the percentile related to the necessary confidence level, which will be equal to the value at risk in virtue of those parameters. As calculated by the Bank, the VaR is an estimate of the maximum expected loss of the market value of a given portfolio over a 1-day horizon at a confidence level of 99.00%. It is the maximum one-day loss that the Bank could expect to suffer on a given portfolio with the 99.00% confidence level. In other words, it is the loss that the Bank would expect to exceed only 1.0% of the time. VaR provides a single estimate of market risk that is not comparable from one market risk to another. Returns are calculated using a time window of 2 years or at least 520 data points obtained from the VaR calculation reference date backward in time. The Bank does not calculate three separate VaRs. Instead, a single VaR is calculated for the entire trading portfolio, further segregated by risk type. The VaR program performs a historical simulation and calculates a Profit and Loss (P&L) statement for 520 data points (days) for each risk factor (fixed income, foreign exchange and equities). Then, the P&L of each risk factor is added together, and a consolidated VaR is calculated with 520 data points or days of data. Simultaneously, the VaR is calculated for each risk factor based on the individual P&L calculated for each factor. Moreover, a weighted VaR is calculated similarly, as described above, but gives a higher weighting to the most recent 30 data points. As a result, the higher of the two VaRs is reported. The Bank uses VaR estimates to warn if statistically estimated losses in the trading portfolio exceed prudent levels and, therefore, certain predetermined limits are in place. Limitations of the VaR model In applying this methodology for calculation, no assumptions are made about the distribution probability of changes in the risk factors; instead, the historically observed changes are used to generate scenarios for the risk factors under which each portfolio item will be valued. The definition of a valuation function fj (xi) for each instrument j is necessary, preferably the same as the one used to calculate the market value and daily position results. This valuation function shall be applied to generate simulated prices for all instruments in each scenario. Furthermore, the VaR methodology should be interpreted considering the following limitations: • Market rate and price changes may not consist in independent and identically distributed random variables, nor may they have a normal distribution. The normal distribution assumption, in particular, may underestimate the probability of extreme market movements. • The historical data used by the Bank may not provide the best estimate of future joint distribution of changes in risk factors. Any modification of the data may be inappropriate. In particular, the use of historical data may fail to capture the risk of possible extreme and adverse market fluctuations regardless of the time frame used; • A 1-day time horizon may not fully capture those market risk positions that cannot be liquidated or hedged within one day. It would not be possible to liquidate or hedge all positions in one day; • The VaR is calculated at the end of negotiations, but trading positions may change substantially during the trading day; Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023
NOTE 47 - RISK MANAGEMENT , continued • The use of a 99% confidence level does not consider or make any representation about losses that may occur beyond this confidence level, and • The VaR model does not capture all the complex effects of risk factors on the value of positions or portfolios and, therefore, may underestimate potential losses. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Bank did not exceed the VaR limits of the trading portfolio’s three components: fixed-income, equity, and foreign currency investments. The Bank performs back-testing daily and generally finds that trading losses exceed the estimated VaR almost once every 100 trading days. At the same time, a limit was set on the maximum acceptable VaR on the trading portfolio. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Bank has remained within its VaR threshold, even in instances where the actual VaR exceeded the estimated VaR. The high, low and average levels for each component and each year were as follows: VAR As of September 30, 2024 2023 US$mn US$mn Consolidated High 4.85 8.21 Low 1.94 4.14 Average 3.32 5.59 Fixed income investments High 4.85 7.89 Low 1.92 3.95 Average 3.03 5.23 Variable income investments High – — Low – — Average – — Foreign currency investments High 2.85 4.54 Low 0.15 0.27 Average 1.52 1.23 Market risk – Local and foreign financial management The Bank's financial management portfolio includes most of the Bank's assets and non-trading liabilities, including the loan portfolio. The Bank's commercial strategies (structural risk) heavily influence these portfolios' investment and funding decisions. The Bank uses sensitivity analysis to measure the market risk of local and foreign currency (not included in the trading portfolio). The Bank conducts a scenario simulation, which is calculated as the difference between the present value of the flows in the chosen scenario (curve with a parallel movement of 100 bps in all segments) and their value in the baseline scenario (current market). All items in local currency indexed to inflation (UF) are adjusted by a sensitivity factor of 0.57, representing a yield curve shift by 57 basis points in real rates and 100 basis points in nominal rates. The same scenario is conducted for net foreign currency positions and interest rates in US dollars. The Bank has also set limits on the maximum loss these interest rate movements can have on budgeted capital and net interest income for the year. To determine the consolidated limit, the foreign currency limit is added to the local currency limit for both the net financial loss limit and the capital loss and reserves limit using the following formula: Bounded limit = square root of a2 + b2 + 2ab, in which: a: limit in national currency. b: limit in foreign currency. Since it is assumed that the correlation is 0. 2ab = 0. Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023
NOTE 47 - RISK MANAGEMENT , continued Limitations of sensitivity models The most important assumption is using a change of 100 basis points in the yield curve (57 basis points for real rates). The Bank uses a change of 100 basis points as sudden changes of this magnitude are considered realistic. In addition, the Global Risk Department has also established comparable country limits to compare, monitor and consolidate market risk by country in a realistic and orderly manner. Furthermore, the methodology of sensitivity simulations should be interpreted considering the following limitations: • The scenario simulation assumes that the volumes remain on the Bank's Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and are always rolled over at maturity, omitting the fact that certain credit risk considerations and prepayments may affect the maturity of certain items. • This model assumes an equal change across the entire yield curve and does not consider different movements for different maturities. • The model does not consider the sensitivity of volumes resulting from changes in interest rates. Limits on budgeted finance income losses are calculated based on expected finance income for the year that cannot be obtained. This means the actual percentage of finance income at risk could be higher than expected.

The Bank has, in general, more assets than liabilities in UF. Therefore, moderate rises in inflation have a positive effect on interest income from inflation adjustments, while a fall in the UF value negatively impacts the Bank's net interest margin. To manage this risk, the Assets and Liabilities Committee limits the difference between UF-denominated assets and liabilities, which may not exceed 30% of the Bank's interest-earning assets. Financial Management manages this mismatch on a day-to-day basis, and the limits are calculated and monitored by the Market Risk Division.

NOTE 47 - RISK MANAGEMENT , continued Market Risk items and their measurement Market Risk Exposure is measured and monitored using the difference between the foreign currency asset and liability balances (net position) and the cash flows payable (associated with liability items) and cash flows receivable (associated with asset items) in the Trading and Banking Books for a given period. Foreign currency items and term mismatches are exposed to different adjustment factors, sensitivities, and rate changes. The Board of Directors of Banco Santander Chile presented and approved the Market Risk Exposure Policy on a Standardized Basis. The following risks will determine Market Risk Exposure: • Interest Rate Risk. • Foreign exchange Risk. • Readjustment (Inflation) Risk. • Currency Options Risk. The following illustrates the market risk exposure according to the guidelines of the FMC and the Central Bank of Chile. The maximum exposure to long-term interest rate risk is 35% of regulatory capital and is approved by the Board of Directors. The maximum exposure to short-term interest rate risk is 55% of net interest and inflation readjustment income plus interest rate sensitive fees: As of September 30, 2024 As of December 31, 2023 Ch$mn Ch$mn Market risk of the trading book Exposure to interest rate risk 448,840 371,203 Exposure to foreign currency risk 2,406 9,130 Exposure to foreign currency options 5,098 3,167 Total exposure of the trading portfolio 456,344 383,500 10% of Risk Weighted Assets (RWA) 570,547 479,374 Subtotal 1,026,891 862,874 Limit = Regulatory capital 6,848,574 6,978,733 Available margin 5,821,683 6,115,859 Short-term market risk banking book Short-term exposure to interest rate risk 108,092 97,410 Exposure to readjustment (inflation) risk 147,144 161,222 Short-term risk of the banking book 255,236 258,632 Available margin 583,198 316,851 Long-term market risk banking book Long-term exposure to interest rate risk 703,762 1,057,637 Limit = 35% of regulatory capital 2,397,001 2,442,556 Available margin 1,693,239 1,384,919 To fulfill its functions, the Integral risk Committee works directly with the Bank's control and risk departments whose joint objectives include: • Evaluate those risks that, due to their size, could compromise the Bank's solvency, or that potentially present significant operational or reputational risks; • ensure that the Bank is equipped with the means, systems, structures and resources in accordance with the best practices that allow the implementation of the risk management strategy; • ensure the integration, control and management of all the Bank's risks; • execute the application throughout the Bank and its businesses of homogeneous risk principles, policies and metrics; • develop and implement a risk management model in the Bank, so that risk exposure is adequately integrated into the different decision-making processes; • identify risk concentrations and mitigation alternatives, monitor the macroeconomic and competitive environment, quantifying sensitivities, and the foreseeable impact of different scenarios on risk positioning; and • manage the structural risks of liquidity, interest rates and exchange rates, as well as the Bank's own funding base. Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023
NOTE 47 - RISK MANAGEMENT , continued To meet the aforementioned objectives, the Bank (Management and ALCO) carries out several activities related to risk management, which include: calculating the risk exposures of the different portfolios and/or investments, considering mitigating factors (guarantees, netting , collaterals, etc.); calculate the probabilities of expected loss for each portfolio and/or investments; assign loss factors to new operations (rating and scoring); measure the risk values of portfolios and/or investments based on different scenarios through historical simulations; establish limits on potential losses based on the different risks incurred; determine the possible impacts of structural risks on the Bank's Interim Consolidated Income Statements; set the limits and alerts that guarantee the Bank's liquidity; and identify and quantify operational risks by business lines and thus facilitate their mitigation through corrective actions. The Integral Risk Committee (CIR) is primarily responsible for monitoring compliance with the Bank's risk management policies and procedures, and for reviewing the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks. IBOR Reform In December 2020, the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (IBA) launched a consultation on its intention to cease publication of non-USD LIBOR and USD LIBOR 1W and 2M tenors until December 31, 2021, and of all other USD LIBOR tenors after publication on December 31, 2023. The Bank has been working since 2019 on the transition to risk-free reference rates (RFR), including the SOFR. In this context, the Bank's work plan includes the identification of the affected customers, the impacted areas, the various risks to which the Bank is exposed, the determination of working teams for each risk, the involvement of senior management in a robust project governance plan and an action plan for each of the identified impacted/risk areas, which will enable us to meet the challenges imposed by the changes in benchmark rates. The Bank has been working based on its IBOR transition program, focusing mainly on: i) Identifying the risks associated with the transition and defining mitigation actions, ii) Developing products benchmarked to the proposed replacement rates, iii) Developing transition capabilities through the renegotiation of existing USD LIBOR benchmarked contracts, vi) Preparing systems for the transition from USD LIBOR to SOFR or term SOFR and conducting the relevant tests to ensure a successful migration. In this regard, efforts in the latter half of 2022 and the first half of 2023 have focused on the following aspects: • Renegotiating USD LIBOR-linked contracts maturing after December 31, 2023, with affected customers. • Preparing systems and performing the relevant tests for migrating USD LIBOR transactions to SOFR or term-SOFR, both bilaterally and with the Clearing houses. • Preparing curves, price fixing mechanisms and risk models to ensure the adequate performance with the new SOFR and term- SOFR rates. In the second half of 2023 and onwards, work will focus on monitoring the smooth transition of the remaining loan transactions to be migrated in the Bank’s systems, which will take place on the next interest settlement date following the signature of the new SOFR or term-SOFR contract. It should be noted that all contracts referenced to USD LIBOR before December 31, 2023, have been renegotiated and remediated, and all migrations with the London Clearing House (LCH) and bilateral derivatives have been successfully completed, so that the use of synthetic USD LIBOR has not been necessary. LIQUIDITY RISK This refers to the possibility that an entity may not be able to meet its payment commitments or may have to resort to raising funds on burdensome terms. Liquidity risk management The Bank's approach to liquidity management is to ensure, to the extent possible, that it always has sufficient resources to meet its obligations as they fall due under normal circumstances and stress conditions without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Bank's reputation. The Financial Management area manages liquidity risk by using a portfolio of liquid assets to ensure that the Bank always maintains sufficient liquidity to cover short-term fluctuations and long-term funding while complying with internal liquidity regulatory requirements. The Financial Management area receives information from all business units on the liquidity profile of their financial assets and liabilities, as well as a breakdown of other projected cash flows from future business. Based on this information, the area maintains a portfolio of short-term liquid assets, consisting mainly of liquid investments, loans and advances to other banks, to ensure that the Bank has sufficient liquidity. The liquidity needs of the business units are covered by short-term transfers from Financial Management to cover short-term fluctuations and long-term funding to meet all structural liquidity needs. Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023
NOTE 47 - RISK MANAGEMENT , continued Accordingly, the Board sets limits on a minimum portion of maturing funds available to meet such payments and on a minimum level of interbank operations and other lending facilities that should be available to cover unexpected demands for withdrawals of liquidity. This is reviewed periodically by the ALCO whose functions include monitoring the strategies to manage liquidity risk. Setting these limits is conceived as a dynamic process that responds to the level of risk appetite deemed acceptable by the Bank and its entities. The system of limits is sufficiently robust to be aware at all times of the level of exposure that each institution is incurring in, in terms of liquidity risks. Besides the limits, the Bank includes alert indicators by the concentration of counterparties, type of products, and maturities in its management to diversify the funding sources and their maturity structure. The Bank monitors its liquidity position daily, determining future inflows and outflows. Furthermore, stress tests are performed at the end of each month, using a variety of scenarios covering both normal market conditions and market fluctuation (stress) conditions. The Bank has a structure of internal liquidity limits that Financial Management and the Treasury must respect. Market Risk Management calculates and monitors the consumption of internal limits, verifies compliance with them and communicates their status to senior management and the Board of Directors. At the beginning of each calendar year, these limits are proposed by Market Risk Management, approved locally at the ALCO and then ratified at the highest Board level. Liquidity limits and early warning indicators, and internally defined management measures can be differentiated into the following three groups: • Limits associated with concentration and mismatches of cash flows and liquidity of the Bank's operations. • Liquidity Management Tools, known as Structural Liquidity or Funding Tables, are used to determine the Bank's structural liquidity position. It also permits the Bank to actively manage its structural liquidity, since this is an essential mechanism to ensure a permanent funding of assets under optimal conditions. • Early warning indicators are linked with concentration risks and are used as tools for detecting and anticipating potential liquidity stress situations and, if necessary, activating the Liquidity Contingency Plan. The Market Risk Area establishes and updates the Bank’s Liquidity Management Policy (LMP). Reviews and possible updates are conducted once a year. Nevertheless, it may be updated at the request of any areas affected by the LMP that have identified the need for modification. The Board approves the contents of the LMP. The Market Risk Area provides all the necessary tools for the statistical analysis required by local liquidity regulations. It also assesses, at least once a year, whether the models are still valid. The Board of Directors must approve the conclusions of this analysis. In periods of normal liquidity, Financial Management applies policies and makes arrangements to keep the Bank within internal and regulatory limits. If a crisis has been identified, even at its mildest level, the Liquidity Crisis Committee applies the necessary policies to deal with potential liquidity shortfalls or restrictions, creates contingency plans to manage emergencies quickly, and reports such situations to senior management and the respective committees. Liquidity risk measurement and control 1. Maturity mismatches subject to regulatory limits The Regulatory Liquidity Ratio measures and limits the mismatches of net income flows relative to capital. Under current regulations, the 30-day mismatch cannot exceed the Bank's core capital for both domestic and foreign currency by one time, and the 90-day mismatch cannot exceed it by two times. 2. Monitoring indicators and liquidity ratios subject to regulatory limits An important component of liquidity risk management is High-Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA). These are balance sheet assets, mainly consisting of financial investments that are not pledged as collateral, have low credit risk, and have a deep secondary market. According to Basel III standards, these assets are divided into three tiers, with Tier 1 assets being the most liquid and Tier 3 the least liquid. Tier 1 assets are mostly composed of bonds from the Republic of Chile, the Central Bank of Chile, and the United States Treasury Department.

Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) measures liquid assets over 30-day net cash outflows. It is used by banks globally as part of the Basel III standards. Chilean banks were required, starting in 2019, to meet a minimum level of 60%, which was to gradually increase to 100% by 2022. For the 2023 fiscal year, a minimum level of 100% was mandated. The objective of the LCR is to promote the short-term resilience of banks' liquidity risk profiles. To this end, the LCR ensures banks have an adequate pool of unencumbered High-Quality Liquid Assets, which can be easily and immediately converted into cash in the private markets to cover short-term liquidity needs. Liquidity coverage ratio As of September 30, 2024 As of December 31, 2023 % % LCR 180 212 Banco Santander-Chile's LCR indicator was well above the minimum required. This reflects the conservative liquidity policies imposed by the Board of Directors through the Assets and Liabilities Committee. 4. Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) This indicator is required by Basel III and provides a sustainable maturity structure of assets and liabilities so that banks maintain a stable funding profile concerning their activities. The Central Bank and the CMF established a minimum NSFR level of 60% for 2022, increasing to 100% by 2026. For 2024, the minimum required level is 60%. Net stable funding ratio As of September 30, 2024 As of December 31, 2023 % % NSFR 101 106 5. Information on liquidity position per the requirements of the Central Bank of Chile i. Maturity mismatches The Central Bank of Chile published on March 8, 2022, Rules on the Management and Measurement of the Liquidity Position of Banks, which modernized liquidity regulation, aligning the published regulatory requirements of the FMC to Basel III standards. According to the Central Bank, the liquidity position is measured and monitored through the difference between cash flows payable, which are associated with liability and expense account items, and cash flows receivable, which concern asset and income account items, for a given period or time frame, referred to as the maturity mismatch. The liquidity policy on an Adjusted Basis was presented and approved by the Board of Directors of Banco Santander-Chile. Maturity mismatch calculations are performed separately for domestic and foreign currencies. Maturity mismatches shall be made in the following time frames: • First time frame: up to 7 days inclusive. • Second time frame: between 8 days and 15 days inclusive.

Furthermore, as the aggregate amount of demand deposits exceeds 2.5 times the bank's regulatory capital, the bank must maintain a 100% 'technical reserve' against them in bonds and Central Bank's notes. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Central Bank required the Bank to maintain a technical reserve of MCh$0 for both periods.

NOTE 47 - RISK MANAGEMENT , continued The volume and composition of liquid assets are presented in item 2 above. The liquidity coverage ratio is presented in item 3 above. 6. Maturity analysis of financial liabilities The remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities are provided in Note 45. The liquidity management inherent in derivative and non-derivative financial liabilities is managed through various levers that enable this risk to be kept in line with the profile defined by the Bank while at the same time making efficient use of available liquidity. To this end, a high level of liquid assets is maintained, and the level of expected short-term income and expenditure is monitored daily, thus avoiding high concentrations of maturities. On the other hand, a very diversified funding matrix is maintained, both across product types and customer types. OPERATIONAL RISK Operational risk is defined as the risk of loss due to defects or failures of internal processes, employees and systems or external events. It covers risk categories such as operational incidents, cloud computing, cyber security, business continuity, and outsourced services, both and strategic and non-strategic. Operational risk is generated in all business and support areas and is inherent to all products, activities, processes and systems. For this reason, all employees are responsible for managing and controlling the operational risks generated by their activities. Our operational risk control and management model is based on a continuous process of identifying, assessing and mitigating risk sources, whether or not they have materialized, ensuring that risk management priorities are properly established. Operational risk management The operational risk model regulates the necessary elements for adequate management and control of operational risk, aligned with compliance with advanced regulatory standards and best management practices, and includes the following phases: • strategy and planning; • identification, assessment and monitoring of risks and internal controls; • implementation and monitoring of mitigation measures; • availability of information, adequate reporting and escalation of relevant issues. The main operational risk tools used are: • Internal events database. Recording operational risk events with financial impact (all losses are recorded, regardless of their amount) or non-financial impact (such as the regulatory impact on customers and/or services). This information: • allows root-cause analysis; • raises awareness of risks; • enables the escalation of relevant operational risk events to the senior management of the Risk Division with maximum immediacy; • facilitates regulatory reporting; • Self-assessment of operational risks and controls. A qualitative process that assesses the main operational risks related to each function, the state of the control environment and their assignment to the different functions within the Bank, using the judgement and experience of a panel of experts from each function. The goal is to identify and assess material operational risks that could prevent business or support units from achieving their objectives. Once the risks and the internal controls that mitigate them have been assessed, mitigating measures are identified if risk levels are above tolerable. This process integrates specific operational risk reviews that allow for comprehensive and widespread identification of risks, especially technological risks, fraud, supplier risks and factors that could lead to other operational risks and specific regulatory non-compliance. Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023
NOTE 47 - RISK MANAGEMENT , continued • External events database. This involves quantitative and qualitative information of external operational risk events. The database allows for a detailed and structured analysis of relevant events in the sector, comparing the loss profile and the proper preparation of self-assessment exercises and scenario analysis. • Analysis of operational risk scenarios. Its objective is to identify events with an extremely low probability of occurrence that could generate significant losses for the Bank and establish appropriate mitigation measures through the assessment and expert opinion of the business lines and risk managers. • A statement establishing the Bank's commitment to controlling and limiting non-financial risk events that lead to or could lead to financial losses; fraud events; operational and technological incidents; legal and regulatory breaches; conduct issues, or reputational damage. Although a certain volume of losses is expected, unexpected high-severity losses due to a failure of controls are not acceptable. • Internal audit, external audit and regulators' recommendations. They provide relevant independent information on inherent and residual risk and identify areas for improvement in controls and processes. • Capital model. This is a model that captures the Bank's risk profile, based primarily on information gathered from the internal loss database, external data and scenarios. The main application of the model is to determine the economic capital for operational risk and the estimation of expected and stressed losses, which are used in the operational risk appetite. • Other specific tools to further analyze and manage operational risks include assessing new products and services, managing business continuity plans, and updating the operational risk program's perimeter and quality review processes. The Bank's operational risk management and reporting system support programs and tools focusing on governance, risk and compliance. It provides information for management and reporting and helps improve decision-making in operational risk management by consolidating information, simplifying the process, and avoiding duplication. Operational continuity plan Digital transformation is revolutionizing the way banks operate, presenting new business opportunities while also giving rise to a wide range of emerging risks, such as technology risks, cyber risks and an increasing reliance on suppliers, which increases exposure to events that may affect the delivery of services to our customers. The Bank is highly committed to ensuring robust control of the environment as determined by the best industry standards. This seeks to strengthen our operational resilience to potentially disruptive events, thereby ensuring adequate service delivery to our customers and system stability. One of the main pillars is a business continuity management system aimed at ensuring the continuity of business processes in the event of a disaster or major incident. This process identifies the potential impacts that threaten the entity, supplying the correct protocols and governance to ensure an effective response capability. Its main objectives are: • To protect the integrity of people in a contingency situation. • To ensure that core functions are performed, and the impact on service delivery to our customers is minimized in contingency events. • To meet the Bank's obligations to its employees, customers, shareholders and other stakeholders. • To comply with regulatory obligations and requirements. • To minimize the entity's potential financial losses and impact on the business. • To protect the brand image, credibility and trust in the entity. • To reduce operational effects by providing effective procedures, priorities, and strategies for recovering and restoring business operations following a contingency. • To contribute to stabilizing the financial system. The pandemic challenged the business continuity planning frameworks and strategies. While some protocols had to be adapted, this crisis demonstrated that the Bank has a robust Business Continuity Management system.

NOTE 47 - RISK MANAGEMENT , continued Relevant mitigation measures The Bank implements and monitors mitigation measures related to the main sources of risk through internal operation risk management tools and other external sources of information. Business transformation and digitalization bring new risks and threats, such as increased payment fraud and origination (credit) fraud. We improved control mechanisms and designed new products to mitigate these risks. Strong authentication processes in the customer enrollment process and the reinforcement of anti-fraud alerts in origination are increasingly widespread resources to mitigate the risk of fraud. In the case of cards, the use of chip and PIN cards in shops and ATMs, two-step authentication with one-time passwords (dynamic verification passwords), reinforced security at ATMs through the incorporation of physical protection and anti-skimming elements, as well as improvements in the logical security of these devices. In the case of Internet banking, verification of online banking transactions with a second security factor of one-time passwords, implementation of specific protection measures for mobile banking, such as identification and registration of customer devices, monitoring of the security of the e-banking platform to prevent attacks on the systems, among others. Cybersecurity Cybersecurity threats are expected to increase. The financial sector is expected to be one of the main targets. With the increased reliance on digital systems, cybersecurity is one of the main non-financial business risks. Therefore, our goal is to make the Bank a cyber-resilient organization that can quickly resist, detect, and respond to cyber-attacks by constantly evolving and improving its defenses. In this area, the Bank continues to develop its control and monitoring framework in line with the best international practices. Outsourcing of services In order to be consistent with our digitization strategy, the Bank aspires to present its customers with the best solutions and products on the market. This implies increasing services provided by third parties and the intensive use of new technologies such as cloud services. In addition, due to increasing cyber risks and regulatory requirements, we have updated and strengthened the supplier management framework, internal control framework and risk culture to ensure that risks associated with third-party procurement are properly assessed and managed. The Bank has identified the suppliers that could present a higher level of exposure to our operations and the services provided to our customers. Accordingly, it has reinforced the monitoring of these suppliers to ensure that: • They have an appropriate control environment, depending on the level of risk of their service. • Business continuity plans are in place to ensure service delivery in case of disruptive events. • They have controls to protect sensitive information processed during the delivery of their services. • Contracts and agreements with third parties include the necessary clauses to protect the interests of the Bank and our clients, while at the same time covering existing legal obligations. • There are exit strategies, including service reversion or migration plans, in the case of services with a strong impact on business continuity and high replacement complexity. Insurance To address operational risk and other risk types generated by the Bank's own operations, insurance has been procured for property damage, general civil liability, fraud, expenses arising from cybersecurity breaches, and third-party claims against executives, among others.

NOTE 48 - INFORMATION ON REGULATORY CAPITAL AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY INDICATORS The Bank defines capital risk as the risk of the Bank or any of its companies of incurring in insufficient quantity and/or quality of capital necessary to: meet the minimum regulatory requirements to operate as a bank; meet market expectations regarding its creditworthiness; and support the growth of its business and any strategic opportunities that may arise, under its strategic plan. The objectives in this respect include in particular: • To meet internal capital and capital adequacy targets. • To comply with regulatory requirements. • To align the Bank's strategic plan with the capital expectations of external stakeholders (rating agencies, shareholders and investors, clients, regulators, etc.). • To support business growth and any strategic opportunities that may arise. The Bank has a capital adequacy position that exceeds the levels required by regulations. Capital management seeks to optimize value creation in the Bank and its business segments. The Bank continuously assesses its risk- return ratios through its core capital, total regulatory capital, economic capital and return on equity. Regarding capital adequacy, the Bank conducts its internal process based on the standards of the FMC, which came into force as of December 1, 2021 (Basel III). Economic capital is the capital required to bear the full risk of doing business at a given level of solvency. Capital is managed according to the risk environment, Chile's economic performance and the economic cycle. The respective Committee may amend our existing capital policies to address changes in the above-risk environment. Capital risk management The Bank has an Executive Capital Committee responsible for overseeing, authorizing and assessing all aspects of capital and solvency. The Board of Directors has deferred to the ALCO, the knowledge and assessment of the capital levels and returns in line with the Bank's strategy. In addition, the Integrated Risk Committee monitors and is responsible for the limits of primary and secondary metrics based on risk appetite. Capital management is based on a Capital Framework designed to ensure that capital, its structure and its composition are appropriate at any point in time, considering the Bank's risk profile and under different scenarios. It warrants the adherence to the minimum regulatory requirements, the risk appetite and the Recovery Plan; and that these frameworks align with the interests of all stakeholders while supporting the growth strategy determined by the Bank. The capital model defines the functional and governance aspects of capital planning, capital budget execution and monitoring, capital adequacy analysis, capital measurement, and capital reporting and disclosure. In addition, this model covers the main capital management activities: 1. Establish the Bank's solvency and capital contribution targets aligned with minimum regulatory requirements and internal policies to ensure a strong level of capital, consistent with the Bank's risk profile and efficient use of capital to maximize shareholder value. 2. Development of a capital plan to meet these objectives consistent with the strategic plan. 3. Capital adequacy assessment to ensure that the capital plan is consistent with the Bank's risk profile and risk appetite (and stress scenarios). 4. Capital budget progress as part of the Bank's budget process. 5. Monitoring and controlling budget execution and development of action plans to correct any deviations from the budget. 6. Calculation of capital metrics. 7. Internal capital reporting and reporting to regulatory authorities and the market. The Bank has also developed the necessary policies to manage and fulfil capital management strategies and objectives, including Capital Adequacy Policy, Capital Planning Policy, Capital Impairment Management Policy, Capital Monitoring and Dividend Policy, and Basle III Implementation. A new version of the General Banking Law (LGB) was published in January 2019. Adopting the capital levels established in the Basel III standards was among the most relevant changes. In 2020, the final versions of the rules governing the new capital models for Chilean banks were published. Banco Santander-Chile and Affiliate NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and as of December 31, 2023
NOTE 48 - INFORMATION ON REGULATORY CAPITAL AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY INDICATORS, continued According to the new General Banking Law (updated through Law No 21,130), the minimum capital requirements have increased in quantity and quality. Total regulatory capital remains at 8% of risk-weighted assets but includes credit, market and operational risk. Minimum Tier 1 capital increased from 4.5% to 6% of risk-weighted assets, of which up to 1.5% can be Additional Tier 1 (AT1), either in the form of preferred shares or perpetual bonds, which can be convertible into shares. Tier 2 capital is now set at 2% of risk-weighted assets. Additional capital requirements are incorporated through a conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets. Furthermore, in coordination with the FMC, the Central Bank may establish an additional counter cyclical buffer of up to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets. Both buffers should be composed of core capital. In addition, the FMC was empowered, subject to the favorable agreement of the Council of the Central Bank of Chile, to define by regulation the new methodologies for calculating assets weighted by credit, market and operational risk; the conditions for issuing hybrid AT1 instruments; the determination and capital charges for local systemically important banks; prudential discounts to regulatory capital; and to require additional measures, including higher capital, for banks with deficiencies in the supervisory capital assessment process (Pillar II). Pillar II aims to ensure that banks maintain a level of capital commensurate with their risk profile and encourage the development and use of appropriate processes for monitoring and managing the risks they face. To this end, banks are responsible for developing an internal capital adequacy assessment process. Supervisors should review their internal strategies and assessments and intervene early when they are not satisfied with the outcome of this process. As a result, supervisors may require additional capital over and above the minimum requirement to ensure a sufficient level to address risks, especially in adverse credit cycles. The result will be a simplified report with the conclusions of the self-assessment process, which in its first version in 2021 will only include credit risk, and in 2022 will only include Pillar I risks. From 2023, a full report will be required. On January 17, 2024, the FMC issued a statement regarding the application of additional capital requirements according to Pillar II, in which the FMC resolved not to apply said requirements to Banco Santander Chile. On December 12, 2023, the FMC issued a regulation (in consultation) regarding adjustments to chapter 21-13 of the Updated Compilation of Banking Regulations. This following a review of current regulations and process, where certain aspects were highlighted for improvement or gaps were detected with respect to international standard that needed to be addressed. As a result, they proposed the following adjustments: • Adjust Annex N°1 on market risks of the banking book (objective I). • Page limits (objective II). • Adjustment of Annex 3 and delivery instruction in Excel format (objective II). • Determination of internal objective, and its link with the charge that the FMC can establish, in accordance with article 66.5 of the General Banking Law (objective III). • Communications (objective III). Pillar III promotes market discipline and financial transparency by disclosing meaningful and timely information, allowing information users to understand the risk profile of local banking institutions and their capital structure, thereby reducing information asymmetries. The Bank in 2023 published its Pilar III report as required by the FMC. On November 27 and until December 18, 2023, the FMC maintained for consultation adjustments to Chapter 21-20 of the UCBS, and the associated frequently asked questions document. This is in order to clarify and provide additional guidelines on how the aforementioned Chapter of the UCBS should be complied with. The Bank is waiting for final regulations.

NOTE 48 - INFORMATION ON REGULATORY CAPITAL AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY INDICATORS, continued The new rules for calculating risk-weighted assets came into force in December, 2021. Therefore, the Bank implemented the rules through a multidisciplinary group, which conducted the required developments, including applying the files designed by the regulator for this purpose. Capital metrics Minimum capital requirement Under the General Banking Law, a bank must have a minimum of UF800,000 (approximately Ch$30,328 million or US$34 million as of September 30, 2024) of paid-in capital and reserves, calculated under FMC Rules. Capital requirement According to the General Law of Banks, banks must maintain regulatory capital of at least 8% of risk-weighted assets, net of required credit loss, as well as a paid-in capital and reserve requirement ('core capital') of at least 3% of total assets, also net of credit loss. Regulatory and core capital is calculated based on the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements prepared under the CASB issued by the FMC. As Santander is the result of a merger between two predecessors with a relevant market share in the Chilean market, a minimum regulatory capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 10.63% is currently required. Regulatory capital is defined as the aggregate of: • a bank's paid-up capital and reserves, excluding capital attributable to foreign subsidiaries and branches or core capital; • its subordinated bonds, valued at their placement price (but decreasing by 20.0% for each year during the period beginning six years before maturity), for up to 50.0% of their basic capital; and • its voluntary provisions for credit loss of up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. As of August 21, 2020, Circular No 2,265 indicating the new method was published, in which the amounts of loans guaranteed by the Chilean Treasury, CORFO and FOGAPE are incorporated into category 2 of the risk-weighted asset classification, and consequently, their credit risk weighting was reduced from 100% to 10%. As of March 31, 2023, the FMC issued a press release in which it informed about the annual rating of systemically important banks and established requirements. The statement informed that the Board approved resolution No 2,319 on this rating, thus maintaining for another year the requirement of an additional core capital charge of 1.5% for the bank. As of May 24, 2023, the FMC issued a press release informing about the activation of the Counter cyclical Capital requirement. According to the decision of the Central Bank, at its Financial Policy Meeting (RPF) in the first half of 2023, the board of the Central Bank of Chile agreed to activate the Counter cyclical Capital Requirement at a level of 0.5% of risk-weighted assets, enforceable within one year as a precautionary measure in the face of higher external financial uncertainty. This report also considered the unanimous approval of the FMC.
