Crédit du Nord: Serving entrepreneurs within the territories
By drawing on its in-depth knowledge of the local economic fabric, the Group aims to be the go-to bank for entrepreneurs everywhere in France and to assume its role in the economic development of the French territories. Its eight regional banks are organised like SMEs so that they enjoy a great deal of autonomy in the management of their activities, which enables rapid decision-making and swift responsiveness to customer requests.
Eight regional banks
The Crédit du Nord Group comprises eight regional banks, Courtois, Kolb, Laydernier, Nuger, Rhône-Alpes, Société Marseillaise de Crédit, Tarneaud and Crédit du Nord, and investment services provider Gilbert Dupont, a specialist in the mid-cap segment. It develops customer relationships founded on proximity, expertise, innovation and customer satisfaction. Customers enjoy the advantages of a regional bank while also benefiting from a group with a national and international dimension.
