Performance founded on the strength of our cooperative model and expertise

Our successful universal cooperative banking model is built around strong, well-recognized brands with close ties to their customers. With retail banking standing at the heart of our strategy, our decentralized organization fosters a spirit of enterprise and allows us to operate from a long-term perspective.  

Our cooperative model is both modern and historic, and we are convinced it is a model for the future, in tune with the expectations of society.

Groupe BPCE is the second-largest banking group in France and finances over 20% of the French economy.

Our ability to transform ourselves to better serve our customers is key to our success 

Our strategic plan out to 2020, TEC 2020, is designed to respond to the ongoing technological revolution. One of our priorities is to make our retail banking business even stronger. We are accelerating our digital transformation, in order to offer customers and staff greater simplicity, autonomy and efficiency, and thereby open up new prospects for growth. Natixis is also pursuing the same goals, by developing areas of expertise that make a difference and digitalizing its offering.
