Everything you need to know about our evolution
Why is the bank, after its history alongside the Société Générale (SG) group, now reverting to the name International Investment Bank (BII)?
Origins of the International Investment Bank
In reality, International Investment Bank is not a new bank: indeed, it is the original name of our institution. For the record, the bank was created in 2006 in Mauritania under the name International Investment Bank (BII) by the Ballouhey Group, the European Investment Bank, and with the assistance of the Dutch banking group ING. Subsequently, in 2007, the Société Générale (SG) Group acquired 51% of the Bank. Consequently, following this transaction, the International Investment Bank (BII) was renamed Société Générale Mauritanie (SGM).
Return to the original name and a new chapter
More recently, on the occasion of its 20th anniversary, the bank returns to its original name, International Investment Bank (BII), following the repurchase of shares held by Société Générale by the Ballouhey Group & Enko Capital consortium. Thus, this buyback opens a new chapter in the development of our institution. Moreover, it allows us to remain true to what has always been our strength: proximity, solidity, and rigor.
Experienced leadership
Today, the bank is led by Nicolas Roca, who had a diverse career within the Société Générale Group for nearly 20 years. Thus, his experience ensures the continuity and dynamism of the institution.
Will my account and banking contract change?
Fortunately, no, nothing changes for you: you keep the same account number, the same conditions, the same contract, the same branch, the same Relationship Manager, and the same products. Indeed, everything remains identical to ensure your peace of mind.
Can I continue using my current bank card and checkbook?
Yes, absolutely, and without any action required on your part. Your checkbooks remain valid. Moreover, your current bank card continues to function normally, allowing you to experience no interruption in your payments.
Do I need to take any action or make any changes on my end?
No, there is no action required on your part. Consequently, you can continue your operations as usual without any worry.
Will my contacts and digital services change?
