Banque Palatine

Committed to the development of French intermediate-sized enterprises

Banque Palatine is a partner to intermediate-sized enterprises (ISEs) – and, more particularly, family-owned businesses – addressing their financing needs, long-term financing operations, international development, and energy transition.

We firmly believe that French mid-sized enterprises and their leaders are central to our ability to meet the economic, social, and environmental challenges of today and tomorrow.

Unique expertise

Building on its long history of supporting film industry professionals, Banque Palatine is extending its expertise to include all cultural and creative sectors with a view to becoming one of France’s top three entertainment banks by 2030.

Banque Palatine also boasts recognized expertise in the property management market, where it enjoys leadership status. It also works with real estate professionals, large corporations, and institutions in support of their projects and development.

Because every company has its own specific needs, Banque Palatine calls on all the expertise required to respond effectively: cash management, investment and wealth management solutions, legal and tax engineering, investment advice, corporate finance, real estate, international services, trading room, etc.

Bank for senior managers: premium, high-quality support

As part of a personalized relationship based on trust and outstanding service, Banque Palatine’s experts establish a strategic dialogue with senior managers to identify, and anticipate, the key stages in their professional and/or personal lives and to ensure the success of their operations: protection of their relatives, financing, transfer of their companies, investment advice, equity transactions, etc.

Private banking: a bespoke, top-tier relationship

The bank provides high value-added services in wealth, legal and tax engineering solutions in addition to the arrangement of financing for private projects. Its private bankers are committed to developing a bespoke, top-tier relationship and providing the best long-term advice with a view to building a wealth strategy tailored to each individual situation.

Palatine Asset Management: at the service of institutional partners

Palatine Asset Management, a Banque Palatine subsidiary, is a “premium boutique” asset management company focused on developing useful finance that gives meaning and value to its clients’ investments. It concentrates its offerings on finding sustainable investment solutions capable of meeting the needs of different investor profiles (from institutional investors to private clients).

An ambitious CSR commitment

In May 2024, Banque Palatine was awarded the Engagé RSE (CSR Commitment) label – ‘Progression’ level – awarded by AFNOR, the French Standardization Association. This recognition attests to the bank’s adoption of a structured and responsible approach based on the principles of the ISO 26000 international standard. It confirms Banque Palatine’s commitment to making social, environmental, and governance issues an integral part of all its activities. This certification testifies to a commitment to continuous improvement, transparency, and engagement with all stakeholders.

In line with this approach, Banque Palatine published in 2025 its first sustainability report for the 2024 financial year. This report, which is a valuable management tool, expresses a sustainable ambition and a model for responsible banking.

Reducing its carbon footprint, promoting social inclusion, responsible purchasing, support for caregivers, and local sponsorship: Banque Palatine is active at every level. Through concrete and measurable actions, it reinforces its positive impact year-by-year, bringing together employees and partners around an ambitious, pragmatic, and forward-looking CSR project.

A player in the world of sport

Banque Palatine created the Palatine Women Project, a mentoring program designed to support female athletes and para-athletes who have a business project and are transitioning to a new career. In 2024, Banque Palatine was presented with the “Entreprises” trophy at the 11^th edition of the Trophées Sport & Management awards.

Banque Palatine launched its commitment by becoming the first sponsor of the Alice Milliat Foundation in 2021. The foundation is named after the co-founder and president of the French Federation of Women’s Sports Clubs, recognized as one of the pioneers in the recognition of women’s sports at the international level.

Since January 2023, the bank has also been an official partner of the French Golf Federation.

Cultural sponsor

In 2023, Banque Palatine became a cultural sponsor in Paris and the regions, with a view to promoting innovation and excellence in contemporary art throughout France. It supports the Bordeaux Museum of Contemporary Art, the Lyon Museum of Contemporary Art, the 2024 exhibition Faire bonne(s) figure(s) (“Keeping up appearances”) at the Nantes Museum of Art, the Frac Sud in Marseille, and the Opéra-Comique in Paris. These sponsorship partnerships take the form of local artistic events for the bank’s customers, giving full meaning to the expression “the art of being a banker.”

Since 2011, Banque Palatine has also supported the Quinzaine des Cinéastes film festival (the “Directors’ Fortnight” section of the Cannes film festival), helping to promote talent and diversity in cinematographic works.
