Bci Securities, the brokerage and wealth management firm of Grupo Bci in the United States, celebrates its tenth anniversary of operations in the country, consolidated as one of the leading financial platforms for Latin American clients seeking access to global markets from Miami.
The company closed 2025 with the best financial results in its history, recording an 842% increase in net profit, a performance that reflects the strength of its business model and the strategic support of Banco Bci, Chile’s largest banking institution and the Latin American financial institution with the greatest presence in the United States.
With its sights set on the future, Grupo Bci has defined an ambitious roadmap for its international expansion. Among its main objectives is doubling its client base in Florida before 2029, with a special focus on high-net-worth individuals and companies from across Latin America. To support this new stage, the group will allocate more than $600 million to investment in technology and artificial intelligence over the next five years, with the goal of optimizing its operational capabilities, improving the client experience, and strengthening its financial advisory services.
Bci Securities was founded in 2016 as an international extension of Bci’s brokerage and wealth management divisions. Its initial purpose was to offer Latin American investors direct access to international financial instruments from the United States. What at the time represented a strategic bet in a context of high uncertainty is now a consolidated platform with active participation in sovereign debt markets, equities, and international mutual funds.
The firm is part of Grupo Bci’s regional financial solutions platform, which also includes Bci Miami and City National Bank of Florida (CNB). The latter has multiplied its assets fivefold over the past decade, reaching $28 billion, contributing to the group’s operations in Florida currently representing 40% of its total assets.
“Bci Securities has connected clients and partners with global markets over the past decade, providing a global perspective with local expertise. We are an advisory platform that facilitates direct access to global liquidity and institutional-level execution, complementing the value proposition that Grupo Bci offers its clients,” said Carlos Martin, CEO of Bci Securities.
Behind this expansion is the trajectory of an institution with nearly 90 years of history. Founded in 1937, Banco Bci currently manages more than $90 billion in assets, serves nearly six million clients in Chile, Peru, and the United States, and maintains some of the strongest credit ratings in Latin American banking, with ratings of A2 by Moody’s and A- by S&P Global and Fitch Ratings.
