Société Générale Private Banking France

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:

Responsible Finance Week - Taking action with "My Sustainable Future": I'm in!

What does Responsible Finance mean?

Ten years already! “Responsible Investment Week” was first called "Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) Week" and was renamed “Responsible Finance Week” in 2016. It is organised by the Responsible Investment Forum (RIF), an association that brings together professionals involved in SRI such as investors, management companies, brokers, extra-financial rating agencies, investment advisors, market organisations, etc. This week is placed under the patronage of the French Ministries of the Economy and Finance and of Ecological Transition.

Responsible finance cuts across three areas - SRI, solidarity-based finance and crowdfunding with a societal impact, which have in common that they exclusively target the field of investment and take into account an environmental or social dimension. Because we are talking about investments, responsible finance does not target philanthropic actions or solidarity donations.

SGPB’s positive and sustainable investment solutions and support

Thanks to the lasting relationship of trust that Societe Generale Private Banking maintains day after day with its clients, and in line with our raison d'être(1), we aim to mobilise your savings towards products that finance the positive transformation of our economy. With this in mind, we develop positive and sustainable investment solutions such as charitable structured products, or SRI wealth planning and development portfolio management solutions. This is how we participate in sustainable finance, and in each of its areas, SRI, solidarity finance and crowdfunding with impact, Societe Generale Private Banking is able to support you.

Our support is based on listening to understand your expectations, on pedagogy to give you the keys to understanding and on transparency to explain how these products contribute to the sustainable transformation of the world. Indeed, a study conducted in 2019(2) for the AMF ("Autorité des Marchés Financiers") and published in June of the same year gives this face of the expectations of individuals with regard to responsible finance: responsible investors have little knowledge of sustainable finance but are interested in it. They want to be guided and advised and to obtain proof of what is promised from a societal point of view.

Two initiatives to help you decipher SRI

To help you better understand socially responsible investment, we're releasing a series of SRI podcaststhis month, which can be accessed from the Societe Generale Private Banking website or directly on the Spotify and Apple Podcast platforms (click here to discover the first episode). Please subscribe to receive updates on the release of each episode.

In order to better understand your expectations, we have also developed a self-assessment questionnaire on socially responsible investment, which we have called "My sustainable future".  Don't wait to fill out this questionnaire, it only takes a few minutes and you can share the results with your private banker who will be able to accompany you.
