About Banque Pouyanne

Banque Pouyanne is a France-based banking institution operating under the supervision of the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution (ACPR) and within the European banking framework, with eligible deposits covered by the Fonds de Garantie des Dépôts et de Résolution (FGDR) up to €100,000 per depositor and, where applicable, investor compensation up to €70,000 for financial instruments. Publicly available materials indicate it provides core retail and professional banking services such as current accounts, savings solutions, payment services, and lending; prospective clients should review the bank’s tariff brochure for detailed pricing, including account maintenance fees, card fees, transfer costs, and charges for services like overdrafts or cash handling. Payment functionality typically includes an FR IBAN for SEPA credit transfers and direct debits, card payments with strong customer authentication (3‑D Secure), and international transfers that may involve correspondent bank fees and foreign exchange margins; card options, withdrawal limits, and insurance features depend on the chosen package. Account opening follows standard French KYC/AML requirements (identity, proof of address, income documents, and—for businesses—company registration and beneficial ownership information); non-resident policies and remote onboarding availability should be confirmed before applying. Access channels usually combine branch assistance with remote servicing (online and/or mobile banking if provided), though the scope of digital features, cut-off times for payments, and daily limits should be verified in the customer documentation. Data protection is governed by GDPR, and complaints are handled under French rules, with access to an independent banking mediator if issues are not resolved through the bank’s complaint process within statutory timelines. Overall suitability depends on the specific product set, pricing, and service channels available to the customer; verify current terms, fees, and eligibility directly with the bank before making decisions.
