Banco de Crédito del Perú (BCP) generates most of Credicorp Ltd.’s revenue, lending to individuals and businesses and charging for banking transactions. Customer deposits provide most of the group’s funding. Its banks earn the difference between interest received on loans and investments and interest paid for funding, alongside service fees. Mibanco extends this lending business to small and microbusinesses in Peru and Colombia.
Beyond banking, Grupo Pacífico collects premiums for insurance coverage and earns revenue from medical care. Prima AFP manages retirement savings for fees, while Credicorp Capital manages investments and provides advisory and securities services.
The business depends heavily on Peru’s economy, borrowers’ ability to repay and continued deposit funding. Peruvian law limits rates and charges on consumer and small-business loans. The holding company receives cash through dividends and other distributions from its subsidiaries; these payments must respect capital, reserve and liquidity requirements.
The risk section is the longest, dullest part of the filing. This keeps only what can really hurt you: where it hits, how hard, when it plays out.
Every company claims an edge. Each one is checked against hard numbers like margins and returns: which hold, and which line gives way first.
Credicorp’s results depend chiefly on Peruvian loan demand, deposit costs and borrowers’ ability to repay, with BCP supplying most of its profits.
Intercorp Financial Services Inc. competes with Credicorp for Peruvian customers who borrow, buy insurance or pay for wealth-management services through Interbank, Interseguro and Inteligo. Inteligo names Credicorp’s Atlantic Security Bank as its main competitor, making its high-net-worth client business a particularly direct comparison.
BBVA’s Peruvian bank competes directly with Credicorp’s BCP for retail customers’ deposits and mortgage borrowing, as well as corporate loans. Peru is a smaller exposure for BBVA’s global group, so its Peruvian banking business is the relevant comparison for BCP, rather than its group-wide results.
Fed Interest Rate Decision
Fed rate decisions matter to Credicorp because tighter U.S. monetary conditions can raise borrowing costs and strengthen the dollar, affecting Peruvian customers’ ability to repay loans and demand new credit.

If it comes in above expectations
Higher rates could make new loans and refinancing harder for Peruvian households and businesses, weakening demand and increasing repayment strain on BCP’s loan book; Credicorp’s deposit-heavy funding makes the effect on its own funding costs less direct.
If it comes in below expectations
Lower rates could ease borrowing costs for Peruvian households and businesses, supporting demand for BCP loans and reducing repayment strain, though any effect on Credicorp’s own funding costs remains less direct because deposits provide most of its funding.
Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. earningsBBVA
BBVA's report on its Peruvian bank will show what local deposit, mortgage and corporate-loan demand looks like in the market where it competes with Credicorp's BCP.
Focus on BBVA's Peruvian banking activity, not its global totals. Steady local deposits alongside lending would suggest BCP is operating in a market where funding and borrower demand remain available; weakness in deposits or loans would point to a tougher setting for BCP to retain funding or expand lending. The comparison is market context, not a report of BCP's own results.
Credicorp LTD earningsThis company
Credicorp's report will show whether BCP, its largest business, is preserving the spread between interest earned on loans and assets and interest paid to depositors and other funders.
Read net interest income alongside net interest margin, or NIM—the net interest earned per unit of interest-earning assets. Rising income with a steady or wider NIM means BCP is earning more without thinning that unit return; rising income with a narrower NIM means balance-sheet growth is masking pressure on it. Because BCP accounted for 75.6% of Credicorp's assets, the pair shows whether its core bank is improving returns per unit or relying mainly on scale.
