Cortal Consors SA was a European broker in personal investing and online trading.
Formed by a merger of French company Cortal and German company Consors, they launched a 2003 rebranding campaign. Cortal Consors was a subsidiary of BNP Paribas.[1]
By 2010, Cortal Consors had more than 1 million customers in three countries (France, Germany and Spain).
In 2013 BNP Paribas launched its new direct bank, Hello bank! in France and a few other European countries to replace Cortal Consors. In December 2014, services in Germany were relaunched under the Consorsbank brand, adopting a very similar logo to Hello Bank!. In 2015 the accounts of French Cortal Consors customers were transferred to Hello bank! France and in 2016 Cortal Consors France ceased its operations.[2]
In Spain, services are now offered under the "BNP Paribas Personal Investors" brand.
