A complete entity dedicated to the maritime sector
The Caisse d'Epargne Côte d'Azur stands out in its approach to the marine sector through its global vision. Unlike other banks, since 2020 it has chosen to bring together all its services dedicated to the maritime sector under the Nautibanque entity. By concentrating all its skills under the same roof, it has specialized contacts for each client," says Adrien Collot, its director: "We work with two types of related clients: professionals in the maritime industry for their business management or port operations and boaters for financing the purchase of their boats and berths. Dedicated teams manage each market."
To assist the professionals of the nautical industry on a daily basis
Present in the departments of Alpes-Maritimes and Var, Nautibanque offers to companies having all or part of their activity in the maritime sector, all the services of a full-service banker, like any business center. It is the expertise of the nautical environment that makes the difference, explains the manager of Nautibanque "We cover the entire Côte d'Azur region and welcome all types of structures: associations, public or private companies, semi-public companies... We help them with their working capital needs, their balance sheet, their financing projects of all kinds or their external growth. Our asset is our perfect knowledge of the market. Our advisors know how to use a Temporary Occupation Authorization to set up a file, how to manage a maritime mortgage, how to manage stock credits for the nautical industry, how to manage fiscal leasing operations..."
Complementarities with the boater service
Less directly, the ability to serve boaters is also an advantage for the professional. Nautibanque is able to finance the purchase of berths, boats or refit work. It becomes a partner of the professional's customers and can facilitate his work. Adrien Collot concludes by illustrating this synergy: "When we finance a professional's boat inventory, it is relevant to finance the end customer in their purchase. Our added value is global."
