Beyond banking it owns leading businesses in asset management through Amundi and in insurance through Crédit Agricole Assurances, as well as consumer finance.

What WCRC found

  1. Strong financial stability, with a group CET1 ratio of 17.4%.

  2. Solid competitive position, earning EUR8.75bn net income group share in 2025.

  3. Broad portfolio across banking, Amundi asset management, Crédit Agricole Assurances and consumer finance.

What holds it back: Past fines, including the 2021 EU bond cartel case, mark its compliance record, and its digital presence is fragmented across the regional banks.
