Best bank: Crédit Agricole

Crédit Agricole is the biggest retail bank in France, and a vital partner to French corporate and investment banking clients, notably in syndicated loans and sustainable finance. It consequently plays a vital role in the French economy.

As France’s best bank, Crédit Agricole performs exceptionally well both financially and in terms of customer satisfaction among corporate and retail customers, making it the top universal bank in the country. The bank is also building on its scale in France to expand elsewhere in Europe – aiming to reach 60 million customers by 2028 – by leveraging the strengths of its business model and capital, including a group CET1 ratio of 17.4%
