The CAR Avenue Group chooses Cr\u00e9dit Agricole and its entities (Cr\u00e9dit Agricole Auto Bank, Cr\u00e9dit Agricole de Lorraine, LCL) to support its growth in Europe. In particular, Cr\u00e9dit Agricole Auto Bank becomes the financial partner of CAR Avenue, which will distribute its financing solutions under the CAR Avenue Financial Services brand.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreement between CA Auto Bank and CAR Avenue was facilitated by the connection and support of Cr\u00e9dit Agricole de Lorraine, which will accompany the external growth of the European distributor.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This international partnership will be active in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland and soon in Germany. It supports CAR Avenue’s ambition to develop its activities in and outside France and to position itself in new markets.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The partnership enables the CAR Avenue Group’s 150 concessions and services in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland and tomorrow in Germany to distribute a wide range of financing solutions under the CAR Avenue Financial Services white label: classic credit, LOA or LLD. They will also be able to distribute the Cr\u00e9dit Agricole Mobility Services catalog, which will be gradually expanded: delivery, warranty and maintenance extension, etc. The agreement will be extended to Germany in the coming weeks, which will allow CAR Avenue Financial Services to expand its presence in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This partnership is part of the ambition of the CAR Avenue family group to become the mobility partner for private and professional users in the heart of Europe, strengthen the support of its customers and facilitate access to the 34 car brands it distributes. Auto Bank and Cr\u00e9dit Agricole de Lorraine will also support CAR Avenue in its drive to accelerate its energy transition and its mission to promote sustainable mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAR Avenue, which has historically been established in Lorraine, has gradually developed its territorial network and diversified its activities to become today one of the main European automotive distribution groups and the leader in mobility in the Greater Region. The international partnership with CA Auto Bank will enable it to strengthen its positions in its markets and support its deployment in other European countries such as Germany, where CA Auto Bank is also present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
