From today until next week, SG is organizing an exceptional operation to attract new customers thanks to a welcome bonus of 140 euros! This is the kind of offer that is good if you just want to change banks.
For the last week of February, Société Générale is giving its new customers the benefit of an exceptional operation with a welcome bonus of 140 euros when opening a first Sobrio account. A little extra that is welcome to have fun!
Why open a Sobrio account:
- No account fees
- VISA insurance and guarantees
- Payments and withdrawals abroad
Until February 28 inclusive, opening a Sobrio account with Société Générale allows you to benefit from a premium of 140 euros. You will first receive a welcome bonus of 80 euros, then an additional 60 euros by direct debiting and regular transfers with SG.
A traditional bank that stays in tune with the times
With a history of almost 160 years, Société Générale is the third largest bank in France, but also one of the largest in Europe. Despite its traditional side, it remains one of our favorite online banks with a whole range of offers, including Sobrio which offers the same advantages of a neobank. And, even with the digital side, the SG provides traditional services such as the allocation of a real-life adviser and the possibility of subscribing to several insurances.
The Sobrio offer we are going to talk about is divided into three levels, the price of which changes according to your age. First of all, the Evolution offer from €3/month with classic account management and the possibility of withdrawing cash elsewhere in Europe three times a month. Then, the classic offer, also from €3/month and adding insurance for medical assistance and repatriation. Finally, the Premier offer, from €13/month, with a whole range of insurance included.
A fully manageable online account
Who says online banking says application. That of the SG is available on Android and iOS and is rather complete with many features available, perhaps even a little too many… We will tend to get lost, the interface should be simplified to be more ergonomic . In any case, making transfers, modifying the ceiling or making an opposition becomes child’s play.
Contactless payment is possible via the NFC functions of the phone, but only on Paylib and Apple Pay, Google Pay is unfortunately still not included. However, we particularly appreciate the possibility of aggregating several accounts, even those of another bank, and the categorization of expenses to have an eye on the budgets for food, rent, culture, high-tech, etc.
How to get the bonus of 140 euros?
You must first open an account, for this, enter your personal information and choose the offer that suits you. You will then need to send supporting documents such as a scan of your identity card and a salary slip, once this is done, your account will be operational within 5 to 7 days.
You will receive your welcome bonus of 80 euros if you make at least five card payments within three months of opening the account. The remaining 60 euros will be allocated to you within two months of subscribing to the banking mobility service offered by Société Générale. Thanks to this service, your new bank will take care of the change of banking institution itself for your regular direct debits and transfers.
