Le Groupe

Our lives are shaped by a succession of important milestones. Some are brought about by our projects, signs of hope, enthusiasm and realisation.

Others are related to life events, which are the cause of uncertainty and even worries.

For 30 years, we have been supporting our customers and our partners through all these key moments.

Our goals

Protecting yourself and investing in your projects should never be a test. At Kereis, we make the quality and transparency of our services a priority.

We co-build with our partners the solutions adapted to their needs: design of offers, sale, sales assistance, contract management and service delivery, thanks to the wealth of our brands. Bankers, insurers, specialised financial services, wholesale or proximity brokers, or online brokers gain access to our know-how regardless of their method of distribution.

Digital to simplify and make life easier for our partners and customers

Our CSR commitments

The fundamental mission of our Group is, since the beginning, to facilitate and secure the financial project of its customers in the framework of a major event in their life or that of their company. We respond by finding the best loan or insurance solution for our clients and ensuring that policyholders affected by a life accident, sometimes dramatic, are financially supported. So we are at the heart of the lives of our customers, who ask us to advise and support them.
Our mission is in itself a response to a societal need.
But we want to go further, with a commitment approach that takes all of our stakeholders into account, and concrete actions whose impact we can monitor from year to year. This global responsibility approach allows us to respond even more and better to our ambition.
By worrying about reducing our impact on the environment, we are helping to improve the health of all. By taking care of the health and well-being of our employees and developing their commitment, we have a direct impact on the clients they support on a daily basis.
