The Insurance division was created in 2014, in line with Groupe BPCE’s strategic ambition to become a fully-fledged bancassurance player primarily serving clients from the two main banking networks of Groupe BPCE: the Banque Populaire and Caisses d’Epargne savings banks. This strategic drive resulted in the following major structural transactions: in March 2014, Natixis Assurances acquired 60% of BPCE V Assurances, a non-life insurance company created to serve customers of the Caisse d’Epargne network, and in 2017 bought the remaining 40% stake previously held by MACIF and MAIF. As a result of this transaction, Natixis Assurance became the sole shareholder of BCPE Assurances.

Accordingly, the distribution of life insurance policies for retirement savings and personal protection insurance, handled by the Personal Insurance business line, was extended to the Caisse d’Epargne network, with effect from January 1, 2016. Natixis’ Insurance division, through its different operational entities, now offers a comprehensive range of life and non-life insurance policies, with the Banque Populaire and Caisse d’Epargne banks being the main contributors to the business.
