By launching this card, which is set to be available in post offices and online, La Banque Postale intends to finance the energy renovation of housing. Besides introducing the impact home loan, the financial institution works towards scaling its suite of responsible products to meet environmental, social, and regional complexities. The initiatives fall in line with La Banque Postale’s objectives of meeting the needs, demands, and preferences of its customers while remaining compliant with regulatory requirements and laws of the industry.
The current announcement comes months after La Banque Postale partnered with JCB to facilitate optimised payment transactions for the latter’s card members throughout France. The alliance was set to be rolled out in several major phases, planning to deliver various payment options to business owners and benefits to JCB customers. Initially, clients received access to La Banque Postale’s ATMs, while the second phase was set to see card members having the ability to make purchases directly on terminals of retailers affiliated with La Banque Postale.
