Crédit Agricole celebrates 25 years of presence in Poland

To mark this anniversary, all employees of the Group’s Polish entities gathered on 22 April at a convention held at the Centennial Hall in Wrocław, in the presence of Stéphane Priami, Deputy Managing Director of Crédit Agricole S.A., in charge of International Banking and Services, as well as former executives and members of the Boards of Directors of the Group entities in the country.

Crédit Agricole’s history in Poland began in 2001 with the acquisition of Lukas Bank and the European Leasing Fund. In 2011, Lukas Bank became Crédit Agricole Bank Polska before merging with the CACIB branch in 2013. From a bank specialising in consumer finance, the Group has built a universal retail bank with a solid presence in Poland and links to Europe.

Today, Crédit Agricole Bank Polska (CABP) has 2.4 million customers, of which 1.1 million hold a current account – individuals, businesses and farmers – thanks to more than 350 branches and 12,000 partner points of sale. It is one of the leading banks in Poland’s energy transition, ranking 5^th in BANK magazine’s overall ranking in 2025 and 2^nd for SLL* loans. It has also been recognised for several years in the “ESG Responsible Management” ranking. CABP is also one of the three banks with the best Net Promoter Score (NPS) in Poland.

The Crédit Agricole Group also has a presence in Poland through the leasing company EFL and its subsidiaries, CA Insurance, Amundi, and the Polish branch of CA Auto Bank. More than 4,600 employees support a total of 3.2 million customers.

The ambitions set out in the ACT 2028 strategic plan are strong in this country, which constitutes a veritable bridge between western and eastern Europe, and the entities present will help to establish Crédit Agricole as the leader in Europe.

Leasys, the joint venture equally owned by Crédit Agricole Personal Finance & Mobility and Stellantis, is rolling out the new version of Clickar*, its used vehicle sales platform, in Europe. Having been completely redesigned, it now offers a smoother and more intuitive experience, with simplified navigation and faster access to vehicle offers for business buyers. The platform is intended to be gradually extended to individual customers, to support Leasys’ European strategy.

* Available in all markets operated by Leasys except the UK, Belgium and the Netherlands. In Spain, the platform is offered under the name Leasys AutoMarket.

LCL is partnering with Ma Petite Entreprise – Équipe Cycliste (MPE), a professional women’s cycling team supported by a network of entrepreneurs. This partnership highlights the coming together of high-level women’s cycling and entrepreneurship, two worlds that share strong values of commitment, pushing one’s limits and a team spirit. It is fully aligned with LCL’s positioning as “Partner of the Maillot Jaune and all Cyclists”, while strengthening its commitment to the place of women in sport and entrepreneurship.

Since the beginning of 2025, Crédit Agricole Group Infrastructure Platform has strengthened its support for the Group’s entities with the creation of the Advisory, Integration and Transition unit (CIT). Designed to act as a local partner, this team uses its integration expertise to secure and simplify migrations to CA-GIP's technological platforms. At each stage, it offers a detailed assessment and review, taking into account the economic, security and operational challenges. A structured approach that helps to reduce risks, optimise costs and accelerate projects. 25 entities have already benefited from this bespoke support, which also contributes to the ongoing development of CA-GIP’s offering in support of the Group’s ambitions.
