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 Caisse d’Epargne savings banks. This goal resulted in the following structuring operations: in March 2014, Natixis Assurances acquired 60% of BPCE V Assurances, a non-life insurance company created to serve clients of the Caisse d’Epargne network, and in 2017 it 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. Following the renegotiation of the partnership agreement with Covéa, BPCE Assurances handles new non-life insurance business with the individual clients of the Banque Populaire banks in addition to those of the Caisse d’Epargne banks; the renegotiationof the terms of the existing partnership between V Groupe BPCE and CNP Assurances, finalized in the first quarter of 2015. Accordingly, the distribution of life insurance policies for pension 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.
The Group’s five biggest entities are: BPCE Vie, a mixed life insurance company that offers all types of V policies and agreementswith commitments linked to the length of the policyholder’s life. It accounts for most of the Personal Insurance business line workforce and provides the other entities of the Insurance division with the resources they need for their operations; BPCE Assurances, a non-life insurance company that offers a full V range of property & casualty insurance products (auto insurance, multi-risk homeowners’ insurance, personal accident coverage, health insurance, legal protection and business and personal protection insurance for professionals); Natixis Life, a Luxembourg-based life insurance company that V offers life insurance and investment solutions to high net-worth clients; BPCE Prévoyance, a non-life insurancecompanywhose operations V include insurance coverage for accidents, illness and different forms of financial loss; BPCE IARD, a non-life insurancecompany that offers a full range of V property & casualty insurance products (auto insurance, multi-risk homeowners’ insurance and legal and multi-risk coverage for professionals). In terms of location, most of the Insurance division’s activity is in France via companiesestablished in France. The Personal Insurance business line also owns a Luxembourg-based entity specialized in life insurance products for Wealth Management clients, and is a client of the BPCE networks and non-Group entities in various EU countries.
