Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance announces the birth of Crédit Agricole Auto Bank

Following the 100% takeover of FCA Bank, finalized today, Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance unveils the new name of this entity which becomes Crédit Agricole Auto Bank.

Faced with profound changes in the automotive sector and environmental and energy challenges, the creation of Crédit Agricole Auto Bank is a powerful lever for Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance to support its clients in these transitions, with an innovative and pan-European tool.

The Bank's ambition is to become a leading independent, multi-brand player in vehicle financing and leasing and in the mobility sector, with a target of at least €10 billion in outstandings by 2026 with 80% of the portfolio of new vehicles being “green” (either full electric or hybrid). CA Auto Bank, which positions itself as the new “mobility bank for a better planet,” intends to lead the industry's energy transition, making access to zero- and low-emission vehicles increasingly democratic and affordable for all.

To achieve this goal, CA Auto Bank will strengthen agreements with existing partners and initiate new ones, in particular with the support of Crédit Agricole. Moreover, the Bank will operate in all sectors of mobility: from automotive to two-wheelers, to leisure, to marine, to agriculture, to light and heavy commercial vehicles.

This new name, which is fully in line with the overall logic of the Crédit Agricole Group's brands, also represents a very strong signal of its desire to accelerate its development in mobility. The Crédit Agricole group, the 10th largest bank in the world, with a model combining social utility and universality, with the largest customer base in Europe, aims to become the European leader in green mobility.

Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance welcomes its 1,900 new team members from CA Auto Bank and its subsidiary Drivalia, specializing in rental and mobility, who are joining the CA Consumer Finance group, which has now more than 10,000 employees and covers 19 countries.
