History and organisation

Some Group companies have had a presence in Canada in the past, but this was before they became part of Crédit Agricole. Crédit Lyonnais had a financial subsidiary and a lease finance subsidiary in the country between 1975 and 2001. Meanwhile, Banque Indosuez had a Canadian operation between 1982 and 1994 consisting of a representative office and capital management subsidiaries. 

Crédit Agricole CIB Canada was a representative office until it opened as a Branch in 2015 with an office in Montreal and a second office in Toronto in 2018.

Amundi, a sister company of Crédit Agricole CIB and the European leader in Asset Management has a presence in Canada since 2007.

CACEIS Canada opened in 2013 with a “follow the sun” approach and grew significantly in 2024 after the acquisition of the European activities of Royal Bank of Canada Investors Services (RBC IS).
