Trade Finance Leader in Western Europe according Euromoney: historic results for Crédit Agricole CIB and CA Group
The Euromoney Trade Finance 2025 Survey confirms Crédit Agricole Group’s strong progression in Trade Finance by distinguishing it as a Leader in Western Europe, France, and Italy and as the second Bank in the world.
The latest Euromoney 2025 Customer Survey, published in February, highlights the excellent market perception of the Crédit Agricole Group’s Trade Finance, Supply Chain Finance and Commodities activities. This annual survey relies on more than 13,000 company votes (mid-caps and corporates) and represents a key benchmark for measuring banks’ quality of services, product offer and technology at national, regional, and global level.
Indeed, the Group is ranked first overall in Western Europe, as well as in all the sub-categories in this region (Customer Service, Products and Technology), gaining nine places compared to last year.
At the global level, the Group also achieved excellent progress, now ranking second and making an impressive 13-place jump compared to last year.
Finally, the Group consolidated its excellent positions at national level, maintaining its position as a Leader in France, becoming Leader in Italy and reaching number two in Poland for Crédit Agricole International Banking Development.
“With the Group operating in 46 countries and a significant presence in more than 30 key markets for Crédit Agricole CIB, our bank has built a global network that enables it to support clients with a comprehensive suite of trade finance solutions. This progress shown in the survey at all levels demonstrates the successful efforts made by our teams, across the entire value chain, to guarantee the best levels of service and customer experience, in a very competitive market driven by innovation and digitalization. Trade is a strong focus of our strategic roadmap. We have reinforced our distribution, expanded our service capabilities, and reengineered the way we manage risk. Finally, Sustainability remains central to the bank’s strategy, the bank reporting in 2024 a double-digit increase in ESG-linked trade finance and expecting this momentum to continue in 2025. We want to make a difference!”

“Innovation is part of our daily activity. In Receivables and Supply Chain Finance (RSF) space, for example, we have developed our own solution, featuring a fully automated back-end system designed for maximum agility. With a best-in-class front-end interface and integration with circa 10 fintech partners, the platform ensures a seamless user experience for corporate clients. Crédit Agricole CIB is also at the forefront of regulatory-driven innovation. Following France’s adoption of the Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records (MLETR) in mid-2024, the bank has been actively developing solutions to enable fully electronic trade flows. Lastly, we are also a major shareholder in Komgo, promoting the digital solution for enhancing automation in trade finance transaction processing.”
