By 2010, Cortal Consors had more than 1 million customers in three countries (France, Germany and Spain).

In 2013 BNP Paribas launched its new direct bank, Hello bank! in France and a few other European countries to replace Cortal Consors. In December 2014, services in Germany were relaunched under the Consorsbank brand, adopting a very similar logo to Hello Bank!. In 2015 the accounts of French Cortal Consors customers were transferred to Hello bank! France and in 2016 Cortal Consors France ceased its operations.{{cite web |url=http://www.touslesplacements.com/blog/placements-financiers/clap-de-fin-pour-cortal-consors-la-banque-en-ligne-de-bnp-paribas/ |title = Clap de fin pour Cortal Consors, la banque en ligne de BNP Paribas}}
