Natixis is an investment banking corporation based out of France. The company can trace its history back to 1818 when the Caisse d’Epargne bank was created in Paris. The bank would grow and reach 364 total banks in 1847. Natixis can also trace its history back to the creation of the Banque Populaire bank in 1878 in Angers, Crédit National in 1919, Caisse Centrale des Banques Populaires in 1921, and Banque Française du Commerce Extérieur.
