The French Banking Federation (FBF) promotes the banking and financial services industries in the French, European and international markets, and sets out the industry's positions and proposals to officials and regulatory authorities in the fields of business and finance.

To fulfil its mandate, the FBF is structured around three departments : Banking and Financial Activities and Research, Information and External Relations, European and International Affairs.

It is responsible for public affairs, including relations with government officials, the media, consumers, young people and teachers.
