About Caisse régionale de crédit agricole mutuel Nord de France

Caisse régionale de crédit agricole mutuel Nord de France (Crédit Agricole Nord de France) is the cooperative regional bank of Crédit Agricole serving the Nord and Pas-de-Calais departments, operating as a mutual institution owned by local member-shareholders and integrated into Crédit Agricole Group, whose regional banks collectively hold a controlling stake in Crédit Agricole S.A. via SAS Rue La Boétie. Its activity centers on retail and commercial banking for individuals, farmers, professionals, SMEs, corporates, and local authorities, delivered through a branch and ATM network in the region and complemented by web and mobile channels. The product suite typically includes current accounts and payment cards, overdrafts, regulated and market savings (e.g., Livret A, LDDS, LEP, PEL/CEL), consumer credit, residential and professional mortgages, life and protection insurance (via Crédit Agricole Assurances entities such as Predica and Pacifica), investment funds and custody (with Amundi and Crédit Agricole Titres), equipment finance and factoring (through group subsidiaries), merchant acquiring and cash management, and domestic/foreign payments (SEPA and SWIFT). Digital services conform to PSD2 with strong customer authentication and support for major mobile wallets, and customer service is available via branches, call centers, and secure in-app messaging; complaints can be escalated to the bank’s statutory mediator in line with French rules. Pricing follows the French model of packaged accounts and à la carte fees, with annual tariff brochures and regulated ceilings applying to certain products; costs vary by card range, usage, and options. Eligibility generally targets residents and businesses in the covered departments, with standard KYC/AML requirements; account opening can be carried out in-branch and, for some profiles, online. The bank is supervised by the Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de Résolution (ACPR) and, at the consolidated group level, by the European Central Bank under the Single Supervisory Mechanism; deposits are protected by the French FGDR up to the legal limit per depositor, and specific regulated savings benefit from a state guarantee. Risk exposure is concentrated in households, agriculture, and regional SMEs, with funding largely sourced from customer deposits and additional liquidity and support mechanisms available at group level; capital, liquidity, and credit ratings are primarily managed and reported on a consolidated Crédit Agricole Group basis, while the regional entity publishes its own annual activity and CSR information. Prospective customers should consult the latest fee schedule, product conditions, and digital service scope on the bank’s website, as features and tariffs can differ from those offered by other Crédit Agricole regional banks.
