Boursorama becomes BoursoBank

The online bank Boursorama shortens its name to Bourso and adds a bank from October 2. Boursorama Banque changes its name and logo to become BoursoBank!, specifies an email sent to customers, a name presented as simpler but also more accessible and more universal to speak to as many people as possible.

The objective for Boursorama is to go from 5 million currently to more than 8 million in 2026. The future BoursoBank will have to temporarily abandon profitability, effective since the start of the year, due to the investments necessary to conquer new customers.

This amount that the French lack to live comfortably

For the 12th consecutive year, Cofidis questioned the French about their financial situation and their perception of their purchasing power. 76% of respondents say that inflation is the main reason for their budgetary difficulties. And two-thirds say it has a strong impact on their household.

According to them, the largest price increases were felt in food (90%), energy (86%) and transport (72%). According to the people questioned, they lack nearly 600 euros each month because they do not have to worry about their budget: a record sum, never seen since the start of this barometer.
