Group news / Crédit Agricole steps up its digital transformation and launches free 100% online account

Olivier Gavalda, CEO of Crédit Agricole S.A., and Stéphane Priami, Deputy CEO of Crédit Agricole S.A. with responsibility for International Banking and Services, are kicking off the very first ACT 2028 LIVE.

This inaugural broadcast will focus on Crédit Agricole Savings, the new pan-European savings platform recently launched by the Group in Germany.

How is Crédit Agricole Savings different from a basic digital platform?

This is just one of the questions they’ll answer as they explore the Group’s foundational choices in the savings arena at a time when Europe, faced with new challenges, stands at a turning point in its history.

The package, provided to the Republic of Serbia’s Ministry of Finance and insured by Bpifrance Assurance Export (BPIAE), will finance the delivery of Serbia’s first fully automated metro system – a project aimed at transforming urban mobility in Belgrade at the same time as significantly reducing carbon emissions and improving air quality. This deal consolidates CACIB’s longstanding partnership with Alstom and highlights the bank’s expertise in structuring complex export credit transactions and its commitment to financing infrastructure that offers sustainable environmental and social benefits.

Crédit Agricole Group Infrastructure Platform has secured “Great Place To Work” certification at its very first attempt. This recognition highlights the trust, commitment and engagement of CA-GIP’s employees and reflects the quality of its working environment. It is fully aligned with the “Play Bigger, Deliver Faster” programme set out in CA-GIP’s 2030 medium-term plan, which places people at the heart of transformation. This international certification recognises organisations that are great places to work based on a rigorous methodology focused on the employee experience.

The “J’écorénove mon logement” programme, run by Crédit Agricole Transitions & Énergies, now offers:

• a free, easy-to-use energy comparison tool (for electricity and gas) to help customers identify the offering best suited to their needs; once an offering has been chosen, Hello Watt takes care of the entire process (termination, subscription and activation) without any need for technical intervention or service interruptions;
• installation of air-to-air heat pumps (reversible air conditioners) to optimise home comfort and energy consumption; Hello Watt supports customers every step of the way, from project planning through to installation by environmentally certified technicians, as well as helping with applications for financial aid.

Crédit Agricole employees applying by 30 June are eligible for a discount*.

* A €500 discount will be awarded for projects over €7,000 using the promo code HELLOCA2026.

China has released its Q1 growth figures, sending a clear message to the rest of the world: the Iran crisis has thus far had no impact on Chinese economic activity. 
Year-on-year growth came in at 5% in Q1, up from 4.5% in the final quarter of 2025. These figures beat consensus expectations, which saw growth remaining below 5%, and enabled China to make progress towards its 2026 growth target (“between 4.5% and 5%”).
