Banks play a crucial role in the transition to electric and hybrid vehicles, ensuring accessibility for as many people as possible. We are responding to these challenges with the transformation of Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance, which relies on several international pillars, including Auto Bank, and in our local markets. This enables us to cover the entire green mobility value chain in 19 countries,” said Stéphane Priami, Managing Director of Consumer Finance.”
