Euro Medium Term Note Programme
for the issue of obligations foncières
Under the Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the "Programme") described in this Base Prospectus (the "Base Prospectus"), AXA Bank Europe SCF
(the "Issuer"), subject to compliance with all relevant laws, regulations and directives, may from time to time issue obligations foncières (the "Notes"),
benefiting from the statutory privilège (priority right of payment) created by Article L.513-11 of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code
monétaire et financier), as more fully described herein (the "Privilège").
The aggregate nominal amount of Notes outstanding will not at any time exceed 9,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies) at the date of
issue.
This Base Prospectus supersedes and replaces the base prospectus dated 20 December 2017 and all supplements thereto.
Application has been made to the Commission de surveillance du secteur financier for approval of this Base Prospectus in its capacity as competent
authority in Luxembourg under the loi relative aux prospectus pour valeurs mobilières dated 10 July 2005 (as amended, by the Luxembourg law of 3 July
2012) which implements the Directive 2003/71/EC of 4 November 2003, as amended (the "Prospectus Directive") in Luxembourg.
Application may be made to (i) the Luxembourg Stock Exchange during a period of twelve (12) months after the date of this Base Prospectus for Notes
issued under the Programme to be listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the regulated market of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange and/or (ii) to the competent authority of any other member state of the European Economic Area ("EEA") for Notes issued
under the Programme to be admitted to trading on a Regulated Market (as defined below) in such member state. The regulated market of the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange is a regulated market for the purposes of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive 2014/65/EU dated 15 May 2014, as amended
from time to time, appearing on the list of regulated markets (each a "Regulated Market") issued by the European Securities Markets Authority (the
"ESMA"). Notes issued under the Programme may also be unlisted or listed and admitted to trading on any other market, including any other Regulated
Market. The relevant final terms (a form of which is contained herein) in respect of the issue of any Notes (the "Final Terms") will specify whether or
not such Notes will be listed and admitted to trading on any market. Notes which are to be admitted to trading on a Regulated Market within the EEA in
circumstances which require the publication of a prospectus under the Prospectus Directive shall have a minimum denomination of 1,000 (or its
equivalent in any other currency as at the date of issue of the Notes) or such higher amount as may be allowed or required by the relevant monetary
authority or any applicable laws or regulations.
Notes may be issued either in dematerialised form ("Dematerialised Notes") or in materialised form ("Materialised Notes") as more fully described
herein.
Dematerialised Notes will at all times be in book-entry form in compliance with Articles L.211-3 et seq. of the French Monetary and Financial Code
(Code monétaire et financier). No physical documents of title will be issued in respect of Dematerialised Notes.
Dematerialised Notes may, at the option of the Issuer, be (i) in bearer form (au porteur) inscribed as from the issue date in the books of Euroclear France
(acting as central depositary) which shall credit the accounts of the Account Holders (as defined in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes - Form,
Denomination, Title and Redenomination") including Euroclear Bank SA/NV ("Euroclear") and the depositary bank for Clearstream Banking S.A.
("Clearstream"), or (ii) in registered form (au nominatif) and, in such latter case, at the option of the relevant Noteholder (as defined in "Terms and
Conditions of the Notes - Form, Denomination, Title and Redenomination"), in either fully registered form (au nominatif pur), in which case they will be
inscribed in an account maintained by the Issuer or by a registration agent (appointed in the relevant Final Terms) for the Issuer, or in administered
registered form (au nominatif administré) in which case they will be inscribed in the accounts of the Account Holders designated by the relevant
Noteholder.
Materialised Notes will be in bearer materialised form only and may only be issued outside France. A temporary global certificate in bearer form without
interest coupons attached (a "Temporary Global Certificate") will initially be issued in relation to Materialised Notes. Such Temporary Global
Certificate will subsequently be exchanged for definitive Materialised Notes with, where applicable, coupons for interest or talons attached (the
"Definitive Materialised Notes"), on or after a date expected to be on or about the fortieth (40th) day after the issue date of the Notes (subject to
postponement as described in "Temporary Global Certificate in respect of Materialised Notes") upon certification as to non-US beneficial ownership as
more fully described herein. Temporary Global Certificates will (a) in the case of a Tranche (as defined in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes") intended
to be cleared through Euroclear and/or Clearstream be deposited on the issue date with a common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, and (b) in the
case of a Tranche intended to be cleared through a clearing system other than or in addition to Euroclear and/or Clearstream or delivered outside a
clearing system, be deposited as agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s) (as defined below).
Notes to be issued under the Programme are expected on issue to be rated Aaa by Moody's Investors Service Ltd ("Moody's")."Obligations rated "Aaa"
by Moody's are judged to be of the highest quality, subject to the lowest level of credit risk. Long-term ratings by Moody's are assigned to issuers or
obligations with an original maturity of one year or more and reflect both on the likelihood of a default on contractually promised payments and the
expected financial loss suffered in the event of default. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to
suspension, change or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency without notice. The rating of the Notes will be specified in the relevant Final
Terms. As at the date of this Base Prospectus, Moody's is established in the European Union and is registered under Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 of the
European Parliament and of the Council dated 16 September 2009, as amended (the "CRA Regulation") and is included in the list of credit rating
agencies published by the ESMA on its website (https://www.esma.europa.eu/supervision/credit-rating-agencies/risk).

This Base Prospectus (together with all supplements thereto from time to time), constitutes a
base prospectus for the purposes of Article 5.4 of the Prospectus Directive and contains all
relevant information concerning the Issuer which is necessary to enable investors to make an
informed assessment of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profit and losses and
prospects of the Issuer, as well as the base terms and conditions of the Notes to be issued under
the Programme. The terms and conditions applicable to each Tranche not contained herein
(including, without limitation, the aggregate nominal amount, issue price, redemption price
thereof, and interest, if any, payable thereunder) will be determined by the Issuer and the
relevant Dealer(s) at the time of the issue on the basis of the then prevailing market conditions
and will be set out in the relevant Final Terms.
This Base Prospectus should be read and construed in conjunction with (i) any document and/or
information which is incorporated herein by reference (see "Documents incorporated by
reference" below), (ii) any supplement thereto that may be published from time to time and (iii)
in relation to any Tranche of Notes, the relevant Final Terms.
This Base Prospectus (together with all supplements thereto from time to time) may only be used
for the purposes for which it has been published.
No person is or has been authorised to give any information or to make any representation other
than those contained or incorporated by reference in this Base Prospectus in connection with the
issue or sale of the Notes and, if given or made, such information or representation must not be
relied upon as having been authorised by the Issuer, the Arranger or any of the Dealer(s).
Neither the delivery of this Base Prospectus nor any sale made in connection herewith shall,
under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in the affairs of
the Issuer since the date hereof or the date upon which this Base Prospectus has been most
recently supplemented or that there has been no adverse change in the financial position of the
Issuer since the date hereof or the date upon which this Base Prospectus has been most recently
supplemented or that any other information supplied in connection with the Programme is
correct as of any time subsequent to the date on which it is supplied or, if different, the date
indicated in the document containing the same.
The distribution of this Base Prospectus and the offering or sale of Notes in certain jurisdictions
may be restricted by law. The Issuer, the Arranger and the Dealer(s) do not represent that this
Base Prospectus may be lawfully distributed, or that any Notes may be lawfully offered, in
compliance with any applicable registration or other requirements in any such jurisdiction, or
pursuant to an exemption available thereunder, or assume any responsibility for facilitating any
such distribution or offering. In particular, no action has been taken by the Issuer, the Arranger
or the Dealer(s) which is intended to permit a public offering of any Notes or distribution of this
Base Prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. Accordingly, no
Notes may be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, and neither this Base Prospectus nor any
offering material may be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under
circumstances that will result in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations. Persons
into whose possession this Base Prospectus or any Notes may come must inform themselves
about, and observe, any such restrictions on the distribution of this Base Prospectus and the
offering and sale of Notes. In particular, there are restrictions on the distribution of this Base
Prospectus and the offer or sale of Notes in the United States of America, the EEA (including
Belgium France and the United Kingdom), Switzerland and Japan. For a description of these
and certain other restrictions on offers, sales and transfers of Notes and on distribution of this
Base Prospectus, see section entitled "Subscription and Sale".
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or with any securities regulatory authority of any state
or other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered or sold within the United States
or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons as defined in Regulation S under the
Securities Act ("Regulation S"). The Notes may include Materialised Notes in bearer form that
are subject to U.S. tax law requirements. Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes may not be
2


offered or sold or, in the case of Materialised Notes in bearer form, delivered within the United
States or, in the case of certain Materialised Notes in bearer form, to, or for the account or
benefit of, United States persons as defined in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. The Notes are being offered and sold outside the United States in offshore transactions
to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S.
This Base Prospectus does not constitute an offer of, or an invitation by or on behalf of the
Issuer, the Arranger or the Dealer(s) to subscribe for, or purchase, any Notes below.
The Arranger and the Dealer(s) have not separately verified the information contained or
incorporated by reference in this Base Prospectus. Neither the Arranger nor any of the Dealers
makes any representation, express or implied, or accepts any responsibility, with respect to the
accuracy or completeness of any of the information included or incorporated by reference in this
Base Prospectus. Neither this Base Prospectus nor any other information supplied in connection
with the Programme (including any information incorporated by reference) is intended to
provide the basis of any credit or other evaluation and should not be considered as a
recommendation by any of the Issuer, the Arranger or the Dealer(s) that any recipient of this
Base Prospectus or other information supplied in connection with the Programme (including
any information incorporated by reference) should purchase the Notes. Each prospective
investor in the Notes should determine for itself the relevance of the information contained or
incorporated by reference in this Base Prospectus and its purchase of Notes should be based
upon such investigation as it deems necessary. Neither the Arranger nor any of the Dealers
undertake to review the financial condition or affairs of the Issuer during the life of the
arrangements contemplated by this Base Prospectus nor to advise any investor or potential
investor in the Notes of any information that may come to the attention of any of the Dealers or
the Arranger.
In connection with the issue of any Tranche, the Dealer(s) (if any) named as the stabilising
manager(s) (the "Stabilising Manager(s)") (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilising
Manager(s)) in the applicable Final Terms may over-allot Notes or effect transactions with a
view to supporting the market price of the Notes at a level higher than that which might
otherwise prevail. However, there is no assurance that the Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons
acting on behalf of a Stabilising Manager(s)) will undertake stabilisation action. Any
stabilisation action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the
final terms of the offer of the relevant Tranche is made and, if begun, cease at any time, but it
must end no later than the earlier of thirty (30) calendar days after the issue date of the relevant
Tranche and sixty (60) calendar days after the date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche.
Any stabilisation action or over-allotment shall be conducted by the Stabilising Manager (or the
person acting on behalf of any Stabilising Manager) in accordance with all applicable laws and
rules.
None of the Issuer, the Arranger or the Dealers makes any representation to any prospective
investor in the Notes regarding the legality of its investment under any applicable laws. If you
are in any doubt about the contents of this Base Prospectus you should contact your advisers.
Prospective purchasers of Notes should ensure that they understand the nature of the relevant
Notes and the extent of their exposure to risks and that they consider the suitability of the
relevant Notes as an investment in the light of their own circumstances and financial condition.
Notes involve a high degree of risk and potential investors should be prepared to sustain a total
loss of the purchase price of their Notes. For more information, see section entitled "Risk
Factors".
PRIIPS REGULATION - PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS ­ If the
Final Terms in respect of any Notes include a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail
Investors", the Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and
should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA. For
these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as
3


defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive
2014/65/EU dated 15 May 2014, as amended from time to time ("MiFID II"); or (ii) a customer
within the meaning of Directive 2016/97 (EU), as amended, where that customer would not
qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a
qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive. Consequently, no key information
document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for
offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA
has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them
available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPS Regulation.
MiFID II product governance / target market ­ The Final Terms in respect of any Notes will
include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance" which will outline the target market
assessment in respect of the Notes, taking into account the five (5) categories referred to in item
18 of the Guidelines published by the European Securities and Markets Authority on 5 February
2018 and which channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently
offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the
target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for
undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or
refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the
MiFID Product Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "MiFID Product
Governance Rules"), any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect of such
Notes, but otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates
will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the MiFID Product Governance Rules.
In this Base Prospectus, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, references
to "", "Euro", "euro" or "EUR" are to the lawful currency of the member states of the
European Union that have adopted the single currency in accordance with the Treaty
establishing the European Community, as amended, references to "£", "pounds sterling" and

reference herein) are for information purposes only and do not form part of this Base
Prospectus.
Except where specified otherwise, capitalised words and expressions in this Base Prospectus
have the meaning given to them in the section entitled "Glossary of Defined Terms".
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Base Prospectus may contain certain statements that are forward-looking including statements
with respect to the Issuer's business strategies, expansion and growth of operations, trends in its
business, competitive advantage, and technological and regulatory changes, information on exchange
rate risk and generally includes all statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words
"believe", "expect", "project", "anticipate", "seek", "estimate" or similar expressions. Such forward-

SUMMARY OF THE PROGRAMME
Summaries are made up of disclosure requirements known as "Elements". These Elements are numbered in
Sections A ­ E (A.1 ­ E.7).
This summary contains all the Elements required to be included in a summary for this type of securities and
Issuer. Because some Elements are not required to be addressed, there may be gaps in the numbering sequence
of the Elements.
Even though an Element may be required to be inserted in the summary because of the type of securities and
Issuer, it is possible that no relevant information can be given regarding the Element. In this case a short
description of the Element is included in the summary with the mention of "Not Applicable".

should be based on a consideration of this Base Prospectus as a whole by the
investor, including any documents incorporated by reference, any supplement
thereto, as the case may be, and the relevant final terms (the "Final Terms"). Where
a claim relating to information contained in this Base Prospectus is brought before a
court in a member state (a "Member State") of the European Economic Area (the
"EEA"), the plaintiff investor, might, under the national legislation of the Member
State where the claim is brought, have to bear the costs of translating this Base
Prospectus before the legal proceedings are initiated.
No claim on civil liability can be brought in a Member State against any person on
the sole basis of this summary, including any translation thereof, except if the
summary is misleading, inaccurate or inconsistent when read together with the other

which
it
operates
More generally, French and European regulators and legislators may, at any time,
implement new or different measures that could have a significant impact on the
Issuer and/or on the financial system in general. In this respect, the European
Commission published on 12 March 2018 a proposal for a Directive on the issue of
covered bonds, the purpose of which is to establish a framework to enable a more
harmonised covered bond market in the European Union. The proposed Directive
covers in particular requirements for issuing covered bonds, requirements for
marketing covered bonds as "European Covered Bonds", structural features of
covered bonds (e.g. asset composition, derivatives, liquidity...) and regulatory
supervision. For the implementation of the proposed Directive, the European
Commission published on the same date a proposed Regulation would mainly amend
Article 129 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (Capital Requirements Regulation) and
could amend the current requirements on minimum overcollateralisation and
substitution assets.

Description of The Issuer is a subsidiary of AXA Bank Belgium (previously known as AXA Bank

Issuer's
supervised by the European Central Bank.
position
within
The Issuer was originally created to refinance residential mortgage loans (either
the group
directly by purchasing the receivables arising from such residential mortgage loans
or indirectly via the subscription of residential mortgage-backed securities
("RMBS") issued by Royal Street NV/SA ("Royal Street"), a Belgian securitisation
vehicle. The purpose of Royal Street was to acquire residential mortgage loan
receivables originated by AXA Bank Belgium which were selected so that such
residential mortgage loans and the receivables arising therefrom would comply with
inter alia the eligibility criteria set out in Article L.513-2 of the French Monetary
and Financial Code. However, RMBS may only be refinanced within a limit of 10
per cent. of the nominal amount of the obligations foncières (i.e. the Notes) as from
1 January 2018.
The Issuer's prime purpose is now the refinancing of residential mortgage loans,
either directly by purchasing the receivables arising from such residential mortgage
loans or indirectly via the acquisition of assets which are eligible assets in
accordance with the French legal framework applicable to sociétés de crédit foncier
as described in Element B.15.
AXA Bank Belgium is a member of the AXA group which is an important global
player whose ambition is to attain leadership in its core "Financial Protection"
business. Financial Protection involves offering customers - individuals as well as
small and mid-size businesses - a wide range of products and services that meet their
insurance, protection, savings, retirement and financial planning needs throughout
their lives.
