Among the European leaders
Crédit Agricole is the largest high street banking group in France, with 43 Regional Banks all strongly anchored in their respective geographical areas. The acquisition of Crédit Lyonnais in 2003 has strengthened the Group’s positions in all its business activities. It is now among the European leaders in terms of domestic market position, and among the largest in the world in terms of capital. As a result of the Group’s desire to embrace the market while strengthening its mutual identity.
An international strategy
Crédit Agricole S.A. was floated on the stock market in December 2001. Crédit Agricole S.A. represents all Group business lines and entities, and serves the entire spectrum of customers from personal customers right through to large international groups. With operations in 70 countries, it has a targeted international expansion strategy.
Drawing on its powerful financial base and true to its founding principle of decentralisation, the Group is built on a pillar of common values: responsibility, a strong local presence and a winning spirit.
