Solid
Regional Banking / Financial Services

Strategic Profile

CRAV is one of 39 regional caisses within the Crédit Agricole group structure. As of end 2024, the bank manages €31.4 billion in deposit collection and €24.9 billion in credit outstandings, positioning it as a significant regional player. The bank demonstrated strong commercial performance with over 41,500 new clients and continued market share gains, particularly in business (+4.6%) and professional (+3.8%) segments.

Cyborg Score Rationale

CRAV demonstrates strong financial fundamentals with robust solvency ratios (24.50% global solvency well above regulatory minimums) and solid growth trajectory. Client acquisition momentum is excellent (+41,500 new clients in 2024), and the bank shows disciplined lending across all market segments. However, regional concentration and cooperative structure limit scalability and market cap.
