Subsection 2: The network

The savings bank network comprises the savings and provident institutions, the local savings companies, the Fédération nationale des caisses d’épargne et de prévoyance and the société de participations du réseau des caisses d’épargne.

In order to guarantee the liquidity and solvency of the savings bank network, the central body of the savings banks and banques populaires referred to in Article L. 512-106 has at its disposal the common guarantee and solidarity fund of the savings bank network, which, in the event of use, it may decide to replenish by calling on the savings banks to make the necessary contributions.
