Sport & Patronage

Banque Populaire du Sud works alongside the women and men who build businesses, day in, day out, and is proud to celebrate their individual and collective achievements. A well-established name across the region it serves, BPS backs a wide range of sporting and cultural clubs and community organizations. And it does not watch from the sidelines: it takes to the field across several sports: sailing, rugby, handball, golf, field hockey and more.

Banque Populaire du Sud is also a familiar presence at sporting events throughout the region, because the bank does more than simply lend its support: teams made up of its own employees line up to take on the challenge. More than ever, BPS shares the instincts inherent in sporting activities: performance, pushing beyond your limits, and the values these activities inspire.
