Compagnie Bancaire
The Compagnie Bancaire (lit. 'Banking Company') was a French bank, formed from 1946 onwards by successive ventures and acquisitions led by former civil servant Jacques de Fouchier. It innovated in retail financial services such as consumer credit. It came under the control of Paribas in the late 1960s and was eventually acquired by it in 1998, subsequently becoming part of BNP Paribas.
