RETAIL BANKS OUR SOLUTIONS FOR your growth
Meet THE CHALLENGES OF DIGITALISATION IN SPITE OF A COMPLEX ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT, CONSUMER MORALE IS ON THE MEND. APPETITE FOR SPENDING IS BACK, AND THERE IS MORE CREDIT AVAILABLE TO GET THE THINGS THEY NEED. IN FRANCE, 26% OF HOUSEHOLDS NOW HAVE CONSUMER CREDIT. In 2015, 18.1% of households applied for a financing solution with traditional banks or specialist financial institutions. Consumer credit is a strategic commercial stake for the banking industry. It s a financing solution that meets the expectations of customers, retains them, and is a source of income. The boom in electronic and mobile commerce is gradually digitalising consumer habits, behaviours, and purchasing experiences. More and more customers want to be able to apply for consumer credit on line, right along with the act of purchasing. For the consumer credit world, the challenge, which is technological, technical, and legal, is a major one. In France, Crédit Agricole retail banks and LCL are relaunching their consumer credit activity. They expect tools, solutions and innovative services from CA Consumer Finance that are capable of supporting them in this direction. Innovation in terms of solutions and services, transparent communications, and the sharing of know-how are the focus of the co-building approach we ve developed with them, to benefit their customers. We are capitalising on the digital transformation with our auto and specialist retail partners, to provide cutting-edge solutions to Crédit Agricole Group s banking networks. At a time when the Crédit Agricole Group s growth model is 100% human, 100% digital, our banking partners expect a lot from the CA CF 3.0 digital transformation programme launched in the spring of 2015, especially the Digi Conso 3.0 project.
