Word of the Chairman

Since June 2007 AXA has progressively complemented its Financial Protection offering with a range of simple and attractive banking products, mainly offered through the existing insurance networks and over the internet, in the European countries where the association of insurance and banking services is highly valued by the customers.

Early 2009 we successfully launched AXA Bank in Switzerland and later AXA Bank in Czech Republic. Today, AXA’s current banking activities cover 6 countries: Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary and Switzerland. We serve no less than 1.8 million customers. Our strategy is to pursue our development across Europe.

The European retail banking activities are coordinated by AXA Bank Europe, formerly known as AXA Bank Belgium, in Brussels. Banking expertise has been pooled there to provide existing and future banks with the necessary support.

Hervé Hatt,
Chairman of the Management Board, AXA Bank Europe
