His departure takes effect following the publication of interim results presented to La Banque Postale’s supervisory board, which met on Wednesday August 2nd.

Under his guidance, La Banque Postale has stepped up its transformation into a major European bancassurance group with, notably, the completion of its merger with CNP Assurances. Our bank has thus extended its strategic model, while at the same time standing out for its service to the public and its internationally recognised leadership in sustainable finance. It became one of the first banks to adopt the status of a mission-led company and has set out some of the most ambitious climate commitments in the sector

Philippe Heim praised “the commitment of employees” and confirmed his “pride at accompanying alongside them the transformation of La Banque Postale’s business model.

A more diversified, more digital bank that has demonstrated its commitment to sustainable finance, and which was among one of the first banks in the world to obtain SBTi certification for its decarbonisation strategy and develop innovative products and services to allow our corporate and retail customers to play a role in the transition”. He also paid tribute to the postmen and women who welcome customers every day and are committed to the values of “A bank for everyone”.

Stéphane Dedeyan, chief executive officer of CNP Assurances and a member of La Banque Postale’s Executive Board will act as interim chairman.

La Banque Postale’s supervisory board will appoint Philippe Heim’s successor in the weeks ahead.
