2021 INTEGRATED REPORT

Designing innovative solutions

Nickel continues
its development

Accessible to all, with no minimum income threshold and available at tobacconists or Nickel Points, Nickel expanded its offer in 2021 with two new services in France. The first concerns the launch of the "Nickel Metal" premium card, which provides customers access to price advantages in France and abroad, as well as to exclusive assistance and insurance. What’s special about it? For a subscription fee of €100 per year, it is the least expensive Metal offer on the market. Furthermore, Nickel donates €5 from each annual subscription to a good cause. The second service allows customers to deposit checks directly into their account online or using their mobile application. A long‑awaited feature. Nickel, which has just crossed the threshold of 2.5 million customers in France, was elected neobank of the year 2021. After Spain at the end of 2020, Nickel will launch in the Portuguese and Belgian markets in 2022 and in the German market in 2023.

SUPPORTING THE TRANSFORMATION OF SAVINGS

The Euro Private Strategies fund was launched by BNP Paribas Cardif to finance the growth of unlisted French and European companies while giving customers the opportunity to diversify their long‑term investments. Incorporating ESG(1) criteria, this new investment fund aims to support sustainable and responsible corporate or infrastructure projects. It also enables BNP Paribas Cardif to take concrete action to promote the energy transition by supporting the production of low‑carbon energy from solar panels, wind turbines and biomass.
