We are all more numerous each day using a smartphone. Since October, research on mobile terminals exceeded searches on the computer, we buy more and more on the mobile. In short, we have adopted smartphones and these have profoundly changed the way we communicate, buy, consume.

With one goal: to offer the customer at the right time, good service, good product, personalized, rather qu’harceler its permanent client. The second partnership concerns the infrastructure, to equip agencies amenities including fiber optic, allowing them to easily discuss with clients by digital channels. The two other partnerships are more technological parties, the first on the connected objects, the second on fashion FINTECH these technology startups that will revolutionize the relationship between banks and customers.
Is this a step towards the disappearance of agencies?
Yes and no. These investments will further reduce your visits to agency, but she will survive, you will simply have a greater range, more efficient exchange with your bank.
