Marine Azur is the leasing department of Banque Populaire Méditerranée dedicated to financing pleasure boats. The official website states it was created in 1990 and is located in the Nice Arénas district, and refers to its team as the bankers of the sea.
The department presents lease-purchase as its main financing format, with stated terms of four to ten years depending on the type of boat, the possibility of transferring the lease contract to a third party subject to approval, and registration of the boat under the French, RIF, British or Monegasque flag. Marine Azur states that it attends the Cannes, Monaco, Paris, Düsseldorf and Genoa boat shows and finances many European boat owners.
Banque Populaire Méditerranée is a cooperative public limited company with variable capital whose head office is at 457 promenade des Anglais in Nice (Nice trade register 058 801 481). Its legal notice describes it as a French credit institution approved as a bank providing investment services, supervised by the European Central Bank, and registered with ORIAS under number 07 005 622 for its insurance intermediary activity. It has a branch in Monaco at 3-9 boulevard des Moulins.
FairWinds is a directory that puts people in touch: the platform plays no part in financing transactions and gives no advice on the matter.
