Announced on April 20, 2026, the partnership between CA Auto Bank and the automaker Geely marks a concrete step in the Chinese brand’s European expansion. In France, CA Auto Bank, a subsidiary of CA Personal Finance and Mobility, becomes its official financial partner, responsible for supporting both private and professional customers in accessing the brand’s vehicles.
CA Auto Bank is already Geely’s financial partner in Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The extension of this collaboration to France is therefore part of a broader continuity and mutual trust between the two groups.
For CA Auto Bank, with over a century of experience in automotive financing and a presence in 19 European markets and Morocco, supporting the arrival of new international manufacturers is a core part of its business.
French motorists wishing to acquire a Geely vehicle will benefit from a full range of financing solutions:
The stated objective is to make the purchasing experience as smooth as possible by integrating financing directly within Geely’s distribution network in France.
The partnership is explicitly aligned with a strategy to transition toward more sustainable vehicles. Geely’s range, mainly composed of next-generation hybrid and electric models, supports Crédit Agricole Group’s ambition to finance a share of new electric vehicles that is 10 percentage points higher than the market average in Europe.
For Geely, one of the most dynamic automotive groups worldwide, the French market represents a strategic opportunity to demonstrate the competitiveness of its technologies in a dense local and European landscape.
France remains one of the most complex automotive markets in Europe, with consumers highly attentive to value for money, reliability, and now environmental performance. Geely’s arrival, supported by an established financial player such as CA Auto Bank, aims precisely to remove barriers to purchase by offering competitive access conditions.
This type of partnership more broadly illustrates the role played by automotive finance providers in structuring new markets: facilitating the entry of innovative brands while ensuring a secure and reliable customer experience over time.
We are proud to announce our collaboration with Crédit Agricole Auto Bank, a major player in automotive financing. This alliance strengthens our commitment to providing innovative and accessible financing solutions tailored to the needs of customers in France. Together, we are supporting the mobility of tomorrow by combining financial expertise with industrial excellence.
This partnership confirms the shared vision of the Geely and CA Auto Bank groups in their development strategy for the French market and is fully aligned with Crédit Agricole Group’s ambition to finance and lease a share of new electric vehicles that is 10 percentage points higher than the European market average. Our position among the most dynamic players in automotive financing in France and Europe will be an asset in making this partnership a long-term success.
