This offering memorandum has been prepared by us solely for use in connection with the proposed offering of

NOTICE TO RESIDENTS OF PERU
THE NOTES HAVE NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED WITH OR APPROVED BY
THE PERUVIAN SUPERINTENDENCY OF CAPITAL MARKETS (SUPERINTENDENCIA DEL
MERCADO DE VALORES OR "SMV") OR THE LIMA STOCK EXCHANGE (BOLSA DE VALORES DE
LIMA OR "BVL"). ACCORDINGLY, THE NOTES CANNOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD IN PERU,
EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE PERUVIAN SECURITIES LAWS.
ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
We are a commercial bank organized and existing under the laws of Peru. Substantially all of our directors and
officers reside in Peru, and all or a significant portion of the assets of such persons may be, and substantially all of
our assets are, located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of
process upon such persons or entities outside Peru or to enforce against them in the courts of jurisdictions other than
Peru any judgments obtained in such courts that are predicated upon the laws of such other jurisdictions.
We have been advised by our Peruvian counsel, Payet, Rey, Cauvi, Pérez Abogados, that any final and
conclusive judgment for a fixed and definitive sum obtained against us in any foreign court having jurisdiction in
respect of any suit, action or proceeding against us for the enforcement of any of our obligations under the notes that
are governed by New York law will, upon request, be deemed valid and enforceable in Peru without the local court
reopening the case provided that: (a) there is in effect a treaty between the country where said foreign court sits and
Peru regarding the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments or (b) in the absence of such a treaty, the
following requirements are met:
(i)
the judgment does not resolve matters under the exclusive jurisdiction of Peruvian courts, and the
matters contemplated in respect of this offering memorandum or the notes are not such matters;
iii


(ii)
such court had jurisdiction under its own conflicts of law rules and under general principles of
international procedural jurisdiction;
(iii)
we received service of process in accordance with the laws of the place where the proceeding took place,
we were granted a reasonable opportunity to appear before such foreign court, and we were guaranteed
due process rights;
(iv)
the judgment has the status of res judicata as defined in the jurisdiction of the court rendering such
judgment;
(v)
no pending litigation in Peru between the same parties for the same dispute was initiated before the
commencement of the proceeding that concluded with the foreign judgment;
(vi)
the judgment is not incompatible with another judgment that fulfills the requirements of recognition and
enforceability established by Peruvian law unless such foreign judgment was rendered first;
(vii) the judgment is not contrary to public order or good morals; and
(viii) it is not proven that such foreign court denies enforcement of Peruvian judgments or engages in a review
of the merits thereof.
There is no existing treaty between the United States and Peru for the reciprocal enforcement of foreign
judgments. We have been advised by Payet, Rey, Cauvi, Pérez Abogados, our Peruvian counsel, that there is no
reason to believe that any obligation under the notes, which are governed by New York law, would be contrary to
Peruvian public policy and international treaties binding upon Peru or generally accepted principles of international
law.
In connection with the issuance of the notes, we will designate National Registered Agents, Inc. as our agent
upon whom process may be served in connection with any proceedings in New York.



iv


MARKET AND INDUSTRY INFORMATION
Market data and certain industry forecast data used in this offering memorandum were obtained from internal
reports and studies, where appropriate, as well as estimates, market research, publicly available information,
including information available from the Peruvian Superintendency of Banks, Insurance and Private Pension Fund
Administrators (Superintendencia de Banca, Seguros y Administradoras Privadas de Fondos de Pensiones or
"SBS") and industry publications. Market share, deposit and other data obtained from the SBS in the case of the
banking operations of Peruvian banks, includes foreign branches and representative offices of Peruvian banks, such
as our agency in Miami and our branch in Panama, which has an international banking license. However, the SBS
information is presented on an unconsolidated basis and excludes information regarding subsidiaries of Peruvian
banks. Therefore, the SBS information as it relates to us excludes the operations of our Peruvian subsidiaries
Empresa Financiera Edyficar S.A. or "Edyficar", Banco de la Microempresa S.A., or "Mibanco", among others.
Credifondo, Credibolsa and Creditítulos were spun-off to Credicorp Capital Peru S.A.A. formerly BCP Capital
S.A.A. (Credicorp holds 97.7%, indirectly, through Grupo Crédito S.A. and Credicorp Capital Ltd., of its capital
stock) during the fourth quarter of 2012 and are no longer our subsidiaries. Banco de Crédito de Bolivia was sold to
Inversiones Credicorp Bolivia S.A. during the second quarter of 2016 and is no longer our subsidiary. Industry
publications generally state that the information they contain has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable,
but that the accuracy and completeness of such information are not guaranteed. Similarly, internal reports and
studies, estimates and market research, while believed to be reliable and accurately extracted by us for the purposes
of this offering memorandum, have not been independently verified. However, we believe such data is accurate and
agree that we are responsible for the accurate extraction of such information from such sources and its correct
reproduction in this offering memorandum.



v


CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This offering memorandum contains statements that constitute estimates and forward-looking statements,
including but not limited to the sections "Summary," "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." These statements appear in a number of places in this offering
memorandum and include statements regarding our intent, belief or current expectations, and those of our officers,
with respect to (among other things) our financial condition.
Our estimates and forward-looking statements are based mainly on current expectations and estimates of future
events and trends, which affect, or may affect, our business and results of operations. Although we believe that these
estimates and forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, they are subject to several risks
and uncertainties and are based on information currently available to us.
Our estimates and forward-looking statements may be influenced by the following factors, among others:
changes in the demand from, and the financial condition of, our customers, and competitive conditions in
the markets we serve;
changes in economic, political and business conditions in Peru;
governmental interventions resulting in changes in the Peruvian economy, taxes, tariffs or regulatory
environment;
our ability to compete successfully;
changes in our business;
our ability to successfully implement marketing strategies;
our identification of business opportunities;
our ability to develop and introduce new products and services;
changes in the cost of products and our operating costs;
our level of indebtedness and other financial obligations;
our ability to obtain financing on satisfactory terms;
our ability to attract new customers;
inflation or deflation in Peru, depreciation or appreciation of the Sol against the U.S. dollar and interest rate
fluctuations;
changes in the level of dollarization of the Peruvian economy;
present or future changes in laws and regulations;
our ability to maintain existing business relationships, and to create new relationships; and
other risk factors discussed under the "Risk Factors" in this offering memorandum.
The words "believe," "may," "may have," "would," "estimate," "continues," "anticipates," "intends," "hopes,"
and similar words are intended to identify estimates and forward-looking statements. Estimates and forward-looking
statements refer only to the date when they were made, and we undertake no obligation to update or review any
estimate or forward-looking statement due to new information, future events or any other factors. Estimates and
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and do not guarantee future performance, as actual
results or developments may be substantially different from the expectations described in the forward-looking
statements. In light of the risks and uncertainties described above, the events referred to in the estimates and
vi


forward-looking statements included in this offering memorandum may or may not occur, and our business
performance and results of operation may differ materially from those expressed in our estimates and forward-
looking statements, due to factors that include but are not limited to those mentioned above. Investors are warned
not to place undue reliance on any estimates or forward-looking statements in making decisions regarding
investment in the notes.
Neither we nor the initial purchasers undertake any obligation to update or revise any estimates or forward-
looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Our annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and
our annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 included
herein, or together the "annual consolidated financial statements," and as of June 30, 2016 and for the six months
ended June 30, 2015 and 2016 included herein, or the "interim consolidated financial statements" (and together with
the annual consolidated financial statements, the "financial statements"), have been prepared and presented in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles prescribed by the SBS for financial institutions subject to
supervision by the SBS, or "Peruvian GAAP." For a description of highlights of certain differences among Peruvian
GAAP, IFRS, as adopted by the IASB, and U.S. GAAP, see "Accounting Practices" set forth in Appendix A.
The annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 have been audited
by Gaveglio Aparicio & Asociados S.C.R.L., or "GAA," a member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers International
Limited and the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2014 and for the years ended
December 31, 2013 and 2014 have been audited by Paredes, Burga & Asociados S.C.R.L., or "PBA." (formerly
Paredes, Zaldívar, Burga & Asociados), a member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited, each independent
certified public accountants in Peru. The interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2016 and for the
six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 have not been audited but have undergone a review by GAA in
accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements No. 2410 "Review of Interim Financial
Information performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" as specified by the International Auditing and
Assurance Standards Board. See the interim consolidated financial statements included in this offering
memorandum. Unless otherwise indicated, the financial information presented herein is based upon the financial
statements.
Unless otherwise specified, in accordance with Peruvian GAAP, the financial statements and other financial
information contained in this offering memorandum are presented in consolidated form. Consolidation principles
under both Peruvian GAAP are based upon the concept of control and are substantially similar, requiring
consolidation of all controlled entities irrespective of the sector in which they operate. Under Peruvian GAAP, an
enterprise is required to consolidate special purpose entities, or "SPEs," when the substance of the relationship
between them indicates that the enterprise controls the SPE.
Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, references in the annual consolidated financial
statements to "$," "U.S.$," "dollars" and "U.S. dollars" are to United States dollars and references to "S/," "Sol" or
"Soles" are to Peruvian Soles.
For the convenience of the reader, this offering memorandum presents translations of certain Sol amounts into
U.S. dollars at specified rates, or the S/ to U.S.$ exchange rate. Any data in U.S. dollars derived from the financial
statements have been translated from Soles to U.S. dollars as follows:
data as of and for the period ended December 31, 2015 have been translated from Soles into U.S. dollars at
a rate of S/3.411 = U.S.$1.00 (the December 31, 2015 exchange rate as published by the SBS); and
data as of and for the period ended June 30, 2016 have been translated from Soles into U.S. dollars at a rate
of S/3.289 = U.S.$1.00 (the June 30, 2016 exchange rate as published by the SBS).
No representation is made that the Sol or U.S. dollar amounts in this offering memorandum at any time could
have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars or Soles, as the case may be, at any particular rate or at all. For a
discussion of the effects on us of fluctuating exchange rates, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 and
2016" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Results of
Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015."
Certain amounts and percentages included in this offering memorandum have been rounded, and the totals
presented in certain tables therefore may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures that precede them.

SUMMARY
The following summary should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the detailed
information and the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this offering memorandum.
Prospective investors should review the section entitled "Risk Factors" for a discussion of certain factors that
should be considered in connection with an investment in the notes.
BCP
We were established in 1889 in Lima, Peru under the name of Banco Italiano by a group of Italian immigrants.
By 1920, we had become, as we are today, the largest commercial bank in Peru, by total assets, loans, deposits,
shareholders' equity and branch network. We are currently controlled by Credicorp Ltd. (NYSE: BAP), or
"Credicorp," which holds directly and through Grupo Crédito S.A., a wholly owned-subsidiary domiciled in Peru,
97.7% of our capital stock. Mr. Dionisio Romero Paoletti, our Chairman and President, is the Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Credicorp. As of February 10, 2016, members of the Romero family hold 13.92% of
Credicorp's common shares as stated in Credicorp's annual report on form 20-F filed with the SEC on April 29,
2016. We are listed and our common shares are traded on the BVL. As of December 31, 2015, 2.3% of our common
stock was publicly held.
We have the leading banking franchise in Peru, including commercial and retail. We acquired Edyficar
(microfinance) in October 2009 as part of our strategy of increasing our presence in underbanked segments. On
March 20, 2014, BCP, through Edyficar, acquired a 60.7% stake of Mibanco, a local bank that specializes in the
micro and small entities sector. On April 8, 2014, Grupo Crédito S.A. and Edyficar acquired from the International
Finance Corporation ("IFC") an additional 6.5% stake in Mibanco (5.0% Grupo Crédito S.A. and 1.5% Edyficar).
During July 2014, through two transactions, Edyficar acquired 18.6% of the capital stock of Mibanco. In September
2014, Edyficar acquired from La Positiva Seguros y Reaseguros S.A. 1.2% of the capital stock of Mibanco. As of
December 31, 2015, Credicorp held 86.93% of Mibanco's capital stock and paid an aggregate of approximately
S/722.5 million. A spin-off transaction was completed on March 2, 2015 between Edyficar and Mibanco, which
involved a spin-off of the majority of the assets and liabilities of Edyficar. No gains or losses were recognized on
our income statement in connection with this spin-off. In connection with the aforementioned spin-off, by means of
Resolution SBS No. 7612-2015, the SBS has approved Edyficar's request so it no longer qualifies as a financial
entity. On February 23, 2015, a merger transaction between Edyficar and Solución Empresa Administradora
Hipotecaria S.A. ("SEAH") was agreed upon. Such transaction will enter into force upon the completion of
additional corporate and regulatory actions. As a result of such merger, Edyficar will be absorbed by SEAH. As of
June 30, 2016, BCP held 93.6% of the capital stock of Mibanco and Grupo Crédito held 1.8%. As of such date,
Mibanco represented 6.5% of our total assets.
We provide a full range of corporate and retail banking products to our corporate and retail clients through our
nationwide distribution network. According to information from the SBS, as of June 30, 2016, and excluding
Mibanco, we had the largest branch network among Peruvian banks, with 442 branches and agencies, including 281
in Lima and the adjoining city of Callao, as well as a branch in Panama and an agency in Miami. Additionally, as of
June 30, 2016, Mibanco had 314 branches. As of the same date, we also had 2,322 automated teller machines, or
