Name and organizational changes: what is evolving at Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance
Behind the transformation of CA Consumer Finance, there is much more than just a name change. The entity, already recognized for its brands Sofinco, CreditPlus, Agos, Credibom, and Wafasalaf, is rebranding as Crédit Agricole Personal Finance & Mobility in 2024. This choice affirms the strong link with the Crédit Agricole group and places the company at the center of the European financing landscape.
Under the leadership of Stéphane Priami, CEO of CA Consumer Finance and Deputy CEO of Crédit Agricole S.A., the new organization aims to harmonize offers and pool resources across the continent. The idea is to coordinate without erasing the personality of local subsidiaries. Structures like CA Auto Bank France illustrate this desire to adapt to industry changes, particularly in the field of mobility.

Why Crédit Agricole Personal Finance & Mobility? A new vision of services for clients
This repositioning is part of a clear intention to reinvent the customer experience. It is not merely a publicity stunt: it is about building tailored responses that align with the expectations of individual clients as well as businesses, in France and elsewhere in Europe.
The choice of the title Personal Finance & Mobility is not trivial. It reflects the goal of supporting every stage of life, from financing to mobility, with the flexibility of a solid banking group and the agility of specialists. The idea is to combine expertise with adaptation to new usages. The stakes are high: mobility, responsible consumption, tailored services, each area benefits from a more refined approach.
At the helm of this transformation, Giacomo Carelli and Stéphane Priami orchestrate the coordination among all subsidiaries. This transversal governance streamlines exchanges, accelerates responses to needs, and establishes a dynamic of continuous innovation.
Here are the concrete axes of this new direction:
- Customized financing solutions to support the mobility of everyone, both individuals and professionals.
- Deployment of digital services for seamless access and simplified management of offers.
- Strengthening proximity thanks to the strength of the Crédit Agricole network and presence on digital channels.
Always true to its mutualist roots, the group opens the door to today’s major challenges: mobility, responsibility, tailored support. The guiding principle: to offer concrete solutions designed for real uses.
What opportunities for clients and partners with the new entities and joint ventures?
The landscape of automotive financing is taking on a new dimension with the arrival of CA Auto Bank and strategic partnerships. This model aims for agility and diversity of solutions, both for individuals and professionals.
Sofinco Auto establishes itself as a key player, enriching its offer: from classic credit to leasing with an option to buy, including formulas tailored for cars, motorcycles, or leisure. This diversity responds to the reality of needs, without excessive standardization.
The creation of CA Mobility Services and active collaboration with Opteven or Agilauto mark a commitment to shared innovation. Clients today benefit from a unified journey: financing, guarantees, assistance, maintenance, everything is designed to simplify life. The digital interface, designed for efficiency, supports every step of the project, from simulation to signature.
The benefits for each audience are clear:
- Facilitated access to offers for new or used vehicles
- Specific solutions for distribution professionals and dealerships
- Shared platforms, such as Agilauto Partage, to encourage collaborative use and respond to new consumption patterns
The proximity of the LCL banking network, combined with the innovative strength of specialized subsidiaries, creates an environment where each actor finds a tailored response. Whether it is an individual seeking mobility or a partner looking for agility, the Crédit Agricole ecosystem demonstrates its ability to anticipate and support market changes. The group thus asserts its place in the field of mobility and automotive leisure, while preparing for the upcoming transformations in the sector.
