January 2019

Groupe BPCE, with its brands, has been an official Premium Partner of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games since January 1, 2019. As a major and historic project, this partnership represents an unprecedented opportunity for Groupe BPCE to tap into all its sources of energy and all its strengths over the next six years and beyond.

February 2019

Auchan Holding and BPCE entered into exclusive talks aimed at initiating a long-term partnership, with BPCE acquiring a 50.1% stake in Oney Bank SA.

The creation of the Financial Solutions and Expertise (SEF) division was finalized. SEF comprises the Factoring, Leasing, Sureties & Guarantees, Consumer Finance and Securities Services business lines (Natixis), and well as Socfim and Crédit Foncier Immobilier (Crédit Foncier and Pramex International). As announced in June 2018, the Crédit Foncier operations and areas of expertise were redeployed across different Groupe BPCE entities.

Its work is predominantly focused on the Banque Populaire and Caisse d’Epargne networks, and its purpose is to better meet the needs of Group companies, which are having to deal with far-reaching and long-term changes in their businesses, while responding to more demanding regulations.
