“With the entry into force of the act Macron, which promotes the mobility of banking, the multi-banking system of French will further increase. By facilitating transactions between banking institutions, the market is energized, and the French are much less deterred by the administrative constraints. In the Face of competition, industry players are forced to propose new offerings and services to be attractive “, explains Damien Dupouy, founder of Anytime.

While the multi-banking services for more men (72% vs. 59% of women), sex is not a factor cleaving to the subscription to online banking (28% men, 23% women).
“Historically, in the early 2000s, online banks are developed by targeting CSP+ for their investments. Then, they have expanded their offer by offering credit cards linked to an account. The new trend of online banks is looking to expand their target customer in returning with offerings of traditional banking consisting of an account and means of payment, and then generate additional revenue through the sale of credit solutions. The recent purchase of the Account Nickel by BNP confirms this trend. Trend also followed by the players of the retail industry who proclaim to want to associate with their credit offer a account with an IBAN in registered form. “adds Damien Dupouy.

A banking transaction which make everyday life easier : in fact, 56% of persons with a joint account do to optimize the management of the payment of their bills (56%) and to have visibility on the spending of the household (30%).
“We note that in the couples, everyone has his bank, but, for the expenses of the home, they need to have a common pot. If these profiles are turning gladly to the online banks to create a joint account, this is because the process is much less procedural and more rapid than with banks physical where the two people have to move to adjust the terms and conditions of opening account. Other topic : that of the guarantor. At Anytime, the overdraft is not possible, nor the issuance of the checkbook, ” adds Damien Dupouy.
The French anticipate an acceleration of multi banking system
If 68% of the respondents that only have a single current account of the host in the same bank for 10 years or more, this score is even higher among those 65 years and over (86%), manual workers (83%) and the employees of a public company (82%).
Despite this apparent strength in the relationship to the bank, a clear majority of French people, whether they are uni or multi-banked, think that the number of people who have multiple current accounts personal will steadily increase in the coming years (59%).

This is observed especially among the 18-24-year-olds : 34% there is less than 5 years and only 40% over 10 years in the same bank.
“The arrival of FinTechs has disrupted the codes. By basing their business model on a problem that is 100 % digital, the FinTechs offer an alternative and a user experience that’s different. It is this mobility, this facility, which seduces. The new generations may soon be a majority to have an account in a Fintech to manage their money on a daily basis and a second account in a traditional bank to underwrite an offer of credit, ” concludes Damien Dupouy.
