Credit Agricole wins in the categories "Corporate Bank" and "Savings Bank for Business" in the rating "Banks of the Year – 2021"

On February 10, Kyiv hosted an award ceremony for the winners of the “Banks of the Year – 2021” rating from the Financial Club news agency. Credit Agricole won in two categories at once: "Corporate Bank" and "Savings Bank for Business" among large banks with foreign capital. This means that Credit Agricole showed the highest absolute increase in hryvnia loans and hryvnia deposits of legal entities for the period January-November 2020.

“Market turbulence tests partnerships for strength and sincerity. So getting the title of the best corporate and savings bank for business at such an unusual time is twice as valuable. The commitment of our customers is what the bank’s team works on every single day”, says Larysa Bondarieva, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of Credit Agricole Bank. “We understand that during lockdown business needs uninterrupted access to credit funds more than ever. So we increase the amount of financing and launch new advantageous services - financial leasing, for example. At the same time, a growing number of companies trust us to hold their funds. We are sincerely grateful to our customers and will never tire of repeating that they can always rely on Credit Agricole!”

In total, the rating "Banks of the Year – 2021" features three categories of banks: those with Ukrainian capital, banks with foreign capital, and state-owned ones. The banks' reporting data published by the National Bank as of January 1 and as of December 1, 2020 were used for the calculations. The key indicators for the analysis were the dynamics of assets, deposit and loan portfolios of individuals and legal entities, banks' profits, as well as trends in payment card portfolio.
