Natixis is a French corporate and investment bank created on 2006-11-17 from the merger of the asset management and investment banking operations of Natexis Banque Populaire (Banque Populaire group) and IXIS (Caisse d'Epargne group).

The two main shareholders (Groupe Caisses d'Epargne, Banque Populaire) together own more than 70% of Natixis while the remaining float is listed on the Paris Stock Exchange.
