About Banque populaire du Nord

Banque Populaire du Nord is a regional cooperative bank within Groupe BPCE, operating primarily in northern France with a branch network serving major urban areas and local communities. It provides standard retail and professional banking services, including current accounts, debit and credit cards (notably Visa ranges), overdrafts, domestic and SEPA transfers, and mobile wallet compatibility such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. Savings products cover regulated accounts (e.g., Livret A, LDDS, LEP subject to eligibility) and housing plans (PEL/CEL), alongside life insurance and investment solutions via securities accounts and PEA, with access to funds and brokerage tied to the group’s distribution platforms. Home loans, consumer credit, and revolving facilities are available subject to credit approval, and the bank caters to professionals, SMEs, associations, and the public sector with cash management, merchant acquiring and POS, e-commerce payments, equipment leasing via BPCE Lease, and factoring through BPCE Factor, as well as guarantees and trade finance. Insurance contracts (property, casualty, and borrower coverage) are distributed through BPCE entities or partners. Account opening requires standard identity, address, and income documentation; as a cooperative, customers can subscribe for shares to become members. Fees follow typical French retail structures with package bundles and à la carte pricing for cards, account maintenance, international operations, and incident charges; current tariffs are detailed in the bank’s published schedule and vary by profile. Digital access is provided through the Banque Populaire website and mobile app with strong customer authentication and 3-D Secure for payments. Eligible deposits are covered by the French deposit guarantee scheme (FGDR) up to the statutory limit per depositor. Product availability, pricing, and lending conditions can differ by customer segment and are subject to regulatory and underwriting requirements.
