Partners Finances

What Partners Finances does

Partners Finances (legal entity SAS PARTNERS FINANCES, RCS Nancy n°404 681 496) is a French credit intermediation platform operating as a non-exclusive banking intermediary (IOBSP, ORIAS n°07 036 794) under ACPR supervision. Founded in 1993 by Sylvain Méharèche (current Deputy CEO) under the predecessor name Spartfin, the company specialises in credit consolidation (regroupement de crédits), combining multiple consumer loans, mortgages, and revolving credit into a single new facility with one monthly payment and one interest rate. It also distributes adjacent retail-credit products: prêt viager hypothécaire (equity release for borrowers aged 60+), prêt de trésorerie hypothécaire (secured liquidity against property), real estate financing, consumer credit, borrower insurance, and professional loans. The company is part of Groupe Empruntis, following a 2015 strategic alliance with Empruntis, and operates internationally in Portugal, Spain, Germany, Belgium, and Luxembourg.

The core technology stack is a proprietary simulation and loan-management platform updated annually (2026 release: Simulateur optimisé), with direct API bridges to partner lenders enabling seamless file transfer and real-time status updates. A custom CRM and portfolio management system supports the affiliated adviser network (Réseau Affilié), and a dedicated B2B2C sub-brand, Partners Premium, runs a separate digital platform for real-time dossier tracking by wealth managers, notaries, accountants, and bankers. Distribution is hybrid: a free online simulation tool drives top-of-funnel demand, an in-house inside-sales team responds within 24 hours, and an affiliated network of 100,400 advisers across France provides physical reach. Banking partnerships span BNP Paribas (and its Sygma, Cardif, and main-entity arms), Société Générale and subsidiary CGI, Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance, Younited, La Banque Postale Consumer Finance, My Money Bank, CFCAL, CREATIS, SOFIAP, and Banque Populaire Méditerranée, with insurance partnerships through April, Cardif, and Swiss Life France.

Partners Finances earns revenue primarily through intermediation commissions from banking partners on successfully funded loans (transaction-fee model), with no publicly disclosed pricing. Customers are predominantly individual French households (16.9 million cumulative inquiries, 159,691 households served historically), supplemented by professional intermediaries served via Partners Premium. The company holds ISO 9001 quality certification and operates from its Nancy headquarters (22 rue de Malzéville) with 251-500 employees per firmographic data. The affiliated-adviser count of 100,400 represents the broader Réseau Affilié, not direct headcount.

Direct peers

• Meilleurtaux: Leading French mortgage and consumer credit broker with a multi-bank comparison model. Direct competitor to Partners Finances in consolidation intermediation, sharing the inside-sales advisory motion and broad partner-bank network.
• Pretto: Digital-first French mortgage broker offering online simulation and dedicated adviser follow-up. Highly comparable to Partners Finances' sim-first, in-house adviser GTM motion, with overlap on home loan and refinancing products.
• Younited Credit: France-based online consumer credit platform operating a marketplace lending model. Already an active lending partner of Partners Finances, but directly competes for consumer credit and consolidation volumes through its own direct-to-consumer channels.
• Empruntis: Sister company under Groupe Empruntis offering mortgage and consolidation intermediation. Joins Partners Finances' product range under one group strategy and competes from a shared digital customer base.

Broad incumbents

• Cofidis: Major French consumer-credit subsidiary of Crédit Mutuel offering credit consolidation and personal loans directly. Represents the lender side of the intermediation chain that Partners Finances distributes into.
• Cetelem (BNP Paribas Personal Finance): Consumer credit arm of BNP Paribas and one of Partners Finances' largest lending partners. Competes directly in credit consolidation while simultaneously funding broker-originated dossiers.
• Sofinco (Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance): Crédit Agricole group's consumer finance brand, lending partner for Partners Finances under the "Credit Lift" label. Provides direct consolidation products that overlap with Partners Finances' intermediation offering.
• Crédit Foncier de France: Historic French mortgage specialist (related to BPCE group) competing in real-estate-backed lending including consolidation and home equity lines. Comparable on mortgage-backed consolidation products offered by Partners Finances' PTH line.

Emerging players

• Boursorama Banque: Leading French digital-only bank with growing consumer credit and mortgage offerings. Represents the disintermediation threat as borrowers can increasingly obtain consolidation or refinancing directly online without a broker.

Others

• April: French insurance broker and credit insurance partner of Partners Finances. Adjacent in the loan distribution stack but provides insurance rather than credit intermediation, operating as an ecosystem participant.
