Société Générale and Crédit Mutuel Arkéa announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the sale of the Holding-Custody Account (TCC) delegation activity dedicated to the Retail Banking segment in France (Retail), operated by Societe Generale Securities Services. This activity includes the management of securities transactions, coupon and dividend payments, as well as the holding of Ordinary Securities Account (CTO) and Equity Savings Plan (PEA) positions.

Frédéric Diverrez, Director of the Technology and Services division, member of the Executive Committee of Crédit Mutuel Arkéa: “This acquisition project is a structuring step in the implementation of our strategic plan, Faire 2030. It concretely illustrates our ambition to open up our business model and our desire to significantly accelerate, by 2030, in the market for white-label banking services. By strengthening our capabilities in Retail Custody Account Management, we are consolidating a recognized know-how and gaining volume on a business with high technological and regulatory intensity. This operation would allow us to deploy our banking expertise more widely in the service of the development of our B2B partners as well as Group entities, by offering them innovative, efficient and robust solutions. It is part of a broader trajectory aimed at making our specialized subsidiaries essential references in their markets. Our ambition is clear: to sustainably strengthen the position of Crédit Mutuel Arkéa among the leaders in banking outsourcing, by combining innovation and operational excellence.

Arnaud Jacquemin, Director of Société Générale Securities Services (SGSS): “This sale project is fully in line with SGSS’ strategy, and we are convinced that Crédit Mutuel Arkéa will be the best shareholder to support the development of this activity. Like its peers, SGSS is thus refocusing on wholesale customers: the Group’s ongoing investments in securities services will therefore be focused on these clients, enabling them to be always better supported in their development and maintain a high quality of service which makes SGSS a leading player in this field.

This project will be subject to the applicable social procedures and approval by the competent authorities. The finalization of the project is expected in 2028.

A huge thank you to our 80 Parisian donor collaborators for their solidarity commitment and exemplary mobilization!

Arkea ProCapital Services solidarity was also expressed in Belgium, where this year the collection was organized for the benefit of the Belgian Restos du Cœur. Thanks to the generosity of 25 donors, 348 hygiene products have been gathered to support the association’s action in Belgium.

Thank you to all the participants for their commitment and solidarity, in Paris as in Belgium!

At our three sites (La Défense, Lille, and Brussels), our employees enthusiastically rallied to support two causes that are particularly close to our hearts: the fight against breast cancer and men’s health.

As part of Pink October, we are proud to have brought together nearly 100 employees wearing pink at our three sites to support breast cancer research and prevention. To reinforce this commitment, Arkéa ProCapital Services decided that for each photo of an employee dressed in pink, €1 would be donated to the League Against Cancer, in addition to the donation already made.

A few weeks later, it was time for blue and beautiful moustaches to support Movember. All our employees were invited to wear blue to raise awareness about men’s health. Once again, Arkéa ProCapital Services pledged to donate €1 to Movember for every photo of an employee dressed in blue, in addition to the initial donation.

Thank you to all our teams for their energy, solidarity, and commitment!

The collaborative workshops that followed enabled participants to:
– Strengthen their knowledge of the Group and embrace its customer promise,
– Understand their roles, their leverage, and the impact of their actions on the customer experience, regardless of their job,
– Identify initial concrete actions to implement at their level starting today.

With this formation, Arkéa ProCapital Services is proud to embody and bring to life Crédit Mutuel Arkéa’s customer promise: “With you, with all our strength.”

Teams in Brussels now benefit from coworking spaces, fully-equipped meeting rooms, an indoor garden and a rooftop… everything has been designed to promote well-being and collaboration!

In just one year, our teams in Paris (Trinity Tower), Lille (Louis Pasteur building) and now Brussels (Le Chancelier) have seen their working environment transformed, improving comfort and collective performance.

The “Sustainable Development” approach is based on four pillars:

• being a committed employer
• implement an impact strategy
• acting for solidarity
• reducing our carbon footprint

In 2023 and 2024, ProCapital has strengthened its actions to make a concrete impact: Ecovadis certification, awareness of responsible digital technologies, solidarity initiatives…

We’d like to share with you a glimpse of the initiatives that have marked these two years, rich in learning and collective mobilization, and thank our teams and partners whose commitment brings our ambitions to life every day!
