History
The Caisses d’Epargne: encouraging and managing popular savings
The first Caisse d’Epargne was founded in Paris in 1818 to promote, collect and manage popular savings. Recognized as “private institutions of public utility,” the Caisses d’Epargne have pursued missions of general public interest since 1895. In 1950, they were authorized to grant loans to local authorities. In 1999, they became cooperative banks. Through successive business creations and acquisitions, Groupe Caisse d’Epargne has extended its activities towards corporate customers, investment banking with the acquisition of Ixis, insurance, private asset management and, with Nexity, the Group became a full-fledged operator in the real estate sector. Today, the Caisses d'Epargne network is part of Groupe BPCE
