Societe Generale Private Banking France undertakes to acknowledge receipt of your claim within 10 (ten) working days from the date it is sent and to provide you with a response within 2 (two) months from the same date. If we are unable to meet this 2 (two) month deadline, you will be informed by letter.

In the event of disagreement with the bank  or of a lack of response from us within 2 (two) months of sending your first written claim, or within 15 (fifteen) working days for a claim about a payment service, you may refer the matter free of charge, depending on the nature of your claim, to:  

 

The Consumer Ombudsman at the FBF

The Consumer Ombudsman at the Fédération Bancaire Française (FBF – French Banking Federation) is competent for disputes relating to services provided and contracts concluded in the field of banking operations (e.g. management of deposit accounts, credit operations, payment services etc.), investment services, financial instruments and savings products, as well as the marketing of insurance contracts.

The FBF Ombudsman will reply directly to you within 90 (ninety) days from the date on which she/he receives all the documents on which the request is based. In the event of a complex dispute, this period may be extended. The FBF Ombudsman will formulate a reasoned position and submit it to both parties for approval.

The FBF Ombudsman can be contacted on the following website: www.lemediateur.fbf.fr or by mail at:

Le Médiateur de la Fédération Bancaire Française
CS 151
75422 Paris CEDEX 09

 

The Ombudsman of the AMF

The Ombudsman of the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF - French Financial Markets Authority) is also competent for disputes relating to investment services, financial instruments and financial savings products.

For this type of dispute, as a consumer customer, you have therefore a choice between the FBF Ombudsman and the AMF Ombudsman. Once you have chosen one of these two ombudsmen, you can no longer refer the same dispute to the other ombudsman.

The AMF Ombudsman can be contacted on the AMF website: www.amf-france.org/fr/le-mediateur or by mail at:

Converted military forts

“Unique living spaces, steeped in history, 360° sea view!” This could well be the future slogan of Clarenco LLP, which is looking for buyers for three Victorian forts built out in the open sea of the Solent Strait, between Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight. Originally built in the second half of the 19th century to protect the south of England from invasion — particularly from the French — by the time they were completed, Napoleon III’s France no longer posed a threat to Britain.

They did however prove their worth during both World Wars, protecting the arsenal of Portsmouth, before gradually falling into disuse after the Second World War. After experiencing varying fortunes over the years, the forts are now for sale, either individually or as a job-lot.

No Man's fort, the furthest from the coast, has operated as a very high-end and ultra-confidential business centre and hotel complex. It is listed for sale at £4.25 million. Spitbank, the smallest, was transformed into a luxury hotel in 2012, complete with heated rooftop swimming pool and champagne bar.

A steal at £4 million. Finally, Horse Sand has remained as it was, highlighting the history of the forts and the spectacular renovation of the other two. A snip at £750,000. Certainly 6 in need of just a little TLC...

No Man's Fort is 200 feet across and lies 2 kilometres off the coast of the Isle of Wight. Transformed into a hotel in 2015, it has 22 luxurious rooms, an indoor swimming pool and two helipads.

The prototype

A web without a spider

Why is spider silk so strong? This simple question inspired a team of researchers specialising in proteins from the University of Cambridge to dig deeper. They found that the strength of the spider’s web was linked to its molecular structure and so naturally sought to imitate it.

Using a specific soy protein isolate1, they have managed to develop a durable, plastic-like polymer film able to be manufactured industrially and also composted at home. A range of single-use sachets and capsules will be brought to market in 2023 by a partner company.

The resource

Running on algae power

Could blue algae become a power source of the future? Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a system capable of generating energy using blue algae (or cyanobacteria). These micro-organisms produce oxygen when exposed to sunlight. The photosynthetic device thought up by the researchers was able to power a microprocessor for six months.

This discovery might provide a cleaner and more sustainable solution to the issues linked to the use of lithium batteries. The search for an alternative is all the more pressing as the number of connected devices is growing exponentially and is expected to reach one trillion by 2035.
