Crédit Agricole Nord de France welcomes CLAAS representatives to celebrate 18 months of a successful partnership

The partnership signed by the Agriculture and Agri-Food Department on 1 October 2024, between Agilor and CLAAS, the 4^th largest manufacturer of agricultural equipment, concerns all the Regional Banks.
From the first year, the Regional Banks achieved their Agilor financing production targets (in traditional credit, lease-purchase or finance lease), with the support of Crédit Agricole Leasing & Factoring.

To celebrate this success, Crédit Agricole Nord de France welcomed CLAAS representatives. The Regional Bank significantly strengthened its positioning on the agricultural financing market and recorded a sharp increase in its financing in 2025.
These results stem from an enhanced offer of solutions (financial leasing with trade-in or manufacturer guarantee, for example) to better meet farmers’ expectations and the full commitment of all teams.
In particular, the Agilor Nord de France team rolled out a sustained support strategy (meetings with dealerships, training of salespeople and sales promotion).

This first day in the Crédit Agricole Nord de France region will be complemented by meetings at other Regional Banks over the course of the half-year period.

Selfee wins a new public procurement contract in Aube. The subsidiary of Crédit Agricole Transitions & Énergies has reached a new stage in its development by winning a call for tenders for the supply of electricity to a public purchasing group coordinated by the Syndicat départemental d’énergie de l’Aube (SDEA). This contract, which brings together 780 members, aims to secure the energy supply of the local public facilities in Troyes. It also covers public facilities and public lighting in municipalities and intermunicipalities. This three-year contract (2027-2029) represents an annual volume of 100 GWh, equivalent to the average consumption of 20,000 French households. It illustrates CAT&E’s development strategy, which aims to provide 1 TWh of electricity by the end of 2027.

Since the beginning of April, LCL has been rolling out CAWL’s e-commerce service to its professional and corporate customers, providing a fast, secure, turnkey remote payment solution.
