The 12 candidates for the presidential election revealed their heritage. We learn in particular the name of the banks in which they are customers. And there are a few surprises.
The person for whom you may be voting on Sunday April 10, during the first round of the presidential election, is she in the same bank as yours? It is now possible to know. The High Authority for Transparency in Public Life published the asset declarations of the 12 candidates on Tuesday evening. The opportunity for MoneyVox to see not only if the contenders for the Elyse are managing their money well, but also to see which bank they are dealing with.
Livret A, life insurance… Do presidential candidates manage their money well?
Credit Mutuel
Outstanding popularity. The surveys follow one another and are similar: the Crdit Mutuel remains the favorite bank of the French. But also of several presidential candidates. The first of them is Emmanuel Macron who has 12 contracts in this brand between his current account, his joint account, a Livret A, a Housing Savings Plan (PEL) or even a Housing Savings Account (CEL). Philippe Poutou is also at Crdit Mutuel with 3 products to its credit (current account, PEL and Sustainable and Solidarity Development Booklet). Jean-Luc Mlenchon also has 5 contracts with Crdit Mutuel. As for Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, he also has one of his current accounts at Crdit Mutuel.
Mortgage, life insurance, Livret A … Why Macron does not manage his money very well
BNP Paribas
The bank for a changing world is attracting several candidates such as Valrie Pcresse which are seven banking contracts as well as three life insurance contracts. Eric Zemmour for his part, he is also with BNPP and holds three accounts there plus life insurance. The right is well represented at BNPP since Nicolas Dupont-Aignan has six accounts. Left side, we find Fabien Roussel which has five products.
The postal bank
The banking subsidiary of La Poste has two candidates among its clients, two opposite personalities on the political spectrum. Nathalie Arthaud has four accounts or passbooks (current account, joint account, Livret A and CEL). For its part, Marine Le Pen has three accounts. To note that Philippe Poutou kept his savings account at La Banque Postale even though the rest of his accounts are with Crdit Mutuel.

Credit Agricole
Crdit Agricole also attracted two candidates with, on the one hand, Anne Hidalgo. The socialist has opened a current account, an LDDS and a passbook account. For her Livret A, she is at HSBC where she also has a current account. At Crdit Agricole, we also find John Lassalle who opened a current account there. John Lassalle which holds the record for the number of current accounts opened among the 12 candidates with five accounts in total scattered, in addition to the Crédit Agricole, between the Banque Populaire, the Caisse d’Epargne and the Crédit Coopratif.
Societe Generale
The red bank is black saves the furniture from this classification thanks Yannick Jadot. The ecologist has lodged five products in total (current account, Livret A, LDDS, CEL and account on passbook).
As a result of the races, all the candidates favor traditional banks. None chose to bet on an online bank, for example, like 12millions of French. Too bad for them, because they could save up to 250 euros per year on their bank charges. But it’s not too late to change your mind.
