2. French mobile key facts Penetration gaps between geographic areas Mobile penetration keeps growing > 100 % # of mobile lines > 80 % -- post-paid -- pre-paid-- total > 75 % < 75 % Source :ARCEP
2.French market has changed since 2005 due to the arrival of Mobile Virtual Operators (MVNO) • 3 MNO MVNO Bouygues Telecom 18% Orange 43% • > 20 MVNO 34% SFR % of mobile lines MVNO 12% Bouygues Telecom Orange 38% 18% 32% SFR % of sales Source :ARCEP
2. Why entering into mobile business ? Facts • Mobile is a strategic issue for banks, as it enables to furnish a broad range of financial services to the customers (mobile banking, mobile payment…) • French mobile market is mature with a high penetration rate, but MNOs don’t target all the people at the same level and their retail network is heterogeneous • Banks has an uncomparable network of point of sales and a large customer database Opportunities for BPCE • Develop deeper direct relationships with the customers and cross-sell new services • Leverage the large network of branches with skilled workforce • Generate new revenues
2. Our proposal • We can not compete with MNOs on the mobile areas BUT we think we can do • for our customers • SIMPLIFY to our customers the choice of mobile offers • INTEGRATE mobile financial services to facilitate the access to the bank and the use of financial services • for us • GENERATE additional revenues due especially to our large presence in the country
2. Missions and responsabilities of bank and MNO • We assume we are not a mobile operator… and we don’t want to become one ! • All the telco aspects are managed by the MNO : mobile infrastructure, handset provisioning, mobile client service and self-care, • The bank is responsible for all financial services associated to the offers and manages distribution and promotion plans • Mobile plans are co-designed by the bank and the MNO Powered by the MNO Powered by the bank 1 2 3 Additional banking and insurance services Mobile plans and services Handset
2. Our proposal • 2 brands created to promote and sell mobile offers Mobile brand • Launched in june 2009 on the network of 1 regional Caisse d’Epargne • Other regions targeted Launch timing • To be confirmed
2. Common features shared by Ecureuil Mobile and Banque Populaire Mobile • Common features • A common range of limited number of mobile plans and handsets • One single MNO partner (MVNE + HNO job) • A same retailing model • Mobile options and additional services are specific to each brand
2. Benefits for each stakeholder • All inclusive : one mobile with financial services included • Simplicity : a short range of mobile handsets (among the market best-sellers) and plans • Attractive price Customers • Customers loyalty : satisfaction and increase of contacts • Positive image • Additional revenues Bank • Additional sales via bank retail network • Better coverage of French territory MNO
2. How it works Subscription SIM Activation Customer service officer MNO Customer Contract edition + Handset mailing BANK MNO
Agenda 1.Presentation of BPCE : who are we ? 2.Our approach on mobile retail : why and how selling mobile phones ? 3. Key challenges identified (up to now…)
3. A nice picture, and a lot of potential… • A good feedback from our customers Ecureuil Mobile market research - Key learnings • Consistent with the the bank products and services • Relevant with the future development of mobile payment • In line with Caisse d'Epargne core values : the bank helps its customers to control their telecom budget • An opportunity for customers living in the countryside, sometimes forgotten by MNOs • Direct and understandable link between the banking area and the telecom area • A lot of regional banks are willing to implement this offer • Limited investments needed : financial risks are mainly taken by the MNO
3. … but also a lot of challenges to face ! • There are big differences between the MNOs and us ! • MNOs investments are focused on customer acquisition, whereas we will be more focused on satisfaction and loyalty • MNO are used to changing their offers regularly, whereas we are more used to working on mid-long term offers • Branches are not telecom stores… • Internal reluctances are not to be minimized • A new kind of products to sell, beside banking and insurance services • Sellers has to be trained regularly • Sales animation to be leaded by each branch director
