In the first withdrawal of 10% of the AFPs, about 80% of the payments were made through BancoEstado. In this second withdrawal, a similar amount is expected, which is why the state company is preparing, and they confirmed it this weekend.
The vice president of BancoEstado, Pablo Correa, said that if people request transfers to CuentaRUT, it is not necessary to withdraw the cash directly because “the safest thing from a health point of view to avoid eventual theft by handling cash, is that hopefully they occupy their CuentaRUT in stores and can make their purchases using this instrument without the need to physically go to a bank branch or any of the service points ”.
Osvaldo Macías, Superintendent of Pensions: “If withdrawals continue, the only thing we are going to achieve is to condemn the elderly to poverty”

Withdrawal of 10%: government confirms that from Thursday, December 10, the AFPs will start receiving applications
In any case, he said that if cash is required, “there will be a series of measures that will be available to everyone. First, an extension in the opening hours of our branch network until 4:00 p.m. Second, remember that there are more than 31 thousand Cajas Vecinas in all the communes of the country, and it will be possible to make money transfers through Cajas Vecinas up to $ 200 thousand. Third, (BancoEstado ATMs will) have an increase in the possibility of making transfers for larger amounts ”.

This increase in ATMs would be to be able to withdraw amounts up to $ 400,000.
He also pointed out that if the CuentaRUT is blocked due to lack of use, the procedure to unblock it can be done by calling 6002007000, not necessarily going to the bank’s branches for this reason.
It should be remembered that only this Thursday, December 10, the AFPs will begin to receive requests for the withdrawal of 10%, since the government plans to publish the project that day in the Official Gazette. For this Monday it is contemplated that the Comptroller is right. Those are the only two procedures that are missing for it to become law.
