It had been several years since the boss of Orange evoked the creation of a new activity for the communication group. Faced with the challenger Free, we had to show the market that innovation was still Orange! To speed up the launch of a new bank, the Orange group has chosen to partner with an existing structure. This also made it possible to simplify the regulatory procedures which are numerous in finance.
In 2016, it was with Groupama that the Orange group decided to sign an agreement to create a new bank. Groupama Banque then became Orange Bank and the new entity was launched in November 2017.
Awaited around the corner by its detractors, Orange Bank is encountering problems with its new customers who are not satisfied with the process of opening accounts online. The media are having a blast by predicting a launch failure all the greater since the boss of Orange had counted on 2 million customers for 2025!
Against all expectations, at the end of February 2018 , Orange Bank announced 100,000 customers . The progress is confirmed since at the end of December 2018 the bank claimed 250,000 customers , and more than 500,000 customers at the end of 2019. Another surprise: a majority of new customers (60%) open their account directly in a physical Orange store .
Since its opening, in addition to the bank account, the establishment has launched the savings account and the personal loan .
To open an Orange Bank account, you must be of legal age and be resident in France for tax purposes (mainland France or the French Overseas Departments and Regions). Of course you must also be responsible for your actions (or accompanied and assisted by your legal representative).
You must be able to prove your identity and your home, have an e-mail address , an iOS or Android smartphone with Internet connection.
