Context

Solicitation involves personalized contact with a specific person to offer goods or services at their home, with or without their request. This intrusive practice is, in other areas, either prohibited, such as in teaching (Art. L. 471-4 Education Code) or in offering services for future funerals (Art. L. 2223-33 General Code of Local Authorities), or strictly regulated, as in consumer law (Art. L. 121-21 et seq. Consumer Code), insurance (Art. L. 112-2-2 Insurance Code), or in banking and financial matters (Art. L. 341-1 to L.343-17 and L. 353-1 to L.353-5 Monetary and Financial Code).

Article L. 341-1 of the Monetary and Financial Code defines banking or financial solicitation as personalized contact with a specific person, natural or legal, with the aim of obtaining their agreement to carry out banking and financial operations. Initially, only solicitation for futures market operations was regulated . Various banking operations were subsequently subject to specific regulations, such as those relating to banking operations in 1966 , securities operations in 1972 , the provision of investment advice by a financial investment advisor in 2003 , and operations on digital assets in 2019 .

These different regimes coexisted within the Monetary and Financial Code until the law of 1 August 2003 , which, supplemented by two decrees and an order , established a single regime to regulate banking or financial solicitation, currently found in Articles L. 341-1 to L. 343-2 (general provisions), L. 353-1 to L. 353-5 (criminal provisions), and D. 341-1 to D. 341-15 (regulatory provisions). These provisions have since been revised many times, notably by Ordinance No 2014-559 of 30 May 2014 on crowdfunding, the PACTE Law of 22 May 2019 on the growth and transformation of companies, Ordinance No 2019-1067 of 21 October 2019 amending provisions relating to public offerings of securities, and finally, Ordinance No 2021-1735 of 22 December 2021 modernizing the framework for crowdfunding.
