Credit Agricole Bank became one of the three leaders of the “50 Leading Ukrainian Banks” rating according to the “Financial Club” company. The annual research is traditionally based on the quarterly reporting of banks as well as on the information additionally provided by the financial institutions to organizers of the rating.

Credit Agricole made a huge breakthrough: the bank moved from the 16th position held in 2015 to the 3rd position in 2016.
