Banker December 2022

Credit Agricole Bank has launched CA+ Pro – the new internet bank for IT professionals and creative industries and now offers private entrepreneurs to open a current account fully remotely, without visiting an outlet. These solutions are primarily aimed at supporting customers in IT, advertising agencies, design studios, cafes, craft businesses representatives and other private entrepreneurs. Since the start of the war, Credit Agricole Group has been supporting Ukraine with concrete actions: it suspended its operations in russia and launched solidarity fund of 10 million euros. The bank supported the customers and the team, went on with implementing nearly all the projects and investments planned, allocated UAH 20 million to aid the hospitals and prepared for blackouts by ensuring that its strategic infrastructure has backup power supply.

CA+ Pro is aimed at facilitating the routine financial transactions for IT professionals and other private entrepreneurs. Customers of the bank can do their daily banking from anywhere convenient for them as well as to instantly switch from СА+ Pro to СА+ personal mobile bank.

“Why a separate internet bank for private entrepreneurs? Being a dynamic and demanding business segment, they require quick solutions. With CA+ Pro, regardless of where you are, you can make payments and other transactions online. Naturally, we took care to create an intuitive user-friendly interface and enjoyable design. We sincerely hope that CA+ Pro will replicate the success of our mobile application CA+, which is in TOP 3 of the best banking apps based on App Store and Google Play Store user reviews, and be a hit among entrepreneurs and creative industries,” – shares Stephane Fallick, Credit Agricole Board Member.

The bank is also offering a simplified remote procedure for opening a current account for private entrepreneurs without visiting an outlet. All you need is to fill out an online application on our website

To recap, with Credit Agricole private entrepreneurs get the following for free:

• Opening an account.
• Service in the new CA+ Pro internet bank.
• Payments and crediting funds to the card account within the bank.

How Credit Agricole is supporting customers in the wartime 

In order to support the customers, the bank has offered special service terms for customers as well as concrete actions: it extended the validity period for all cards, cancelled monthly fee for all card packages as well as fines on loan products at the beginning of the war, provided funding for the agrarians and now it is helping those in need of loan restructuring. The bank is also supporting customers who are now overseas by offering loyalty programs for Ukrainians in Poland. In the first months of the war, Credit Agricole Bank Polska would open nearly 500 accounts for Ukrainian users every day.

On charitable projects 

Charity is an important component of Credit Agricole’s operations. Since the war broke out, the bank has implemented 20 charity projects worth over UAH 20 million. With the assistance of “Your Support” fund, the bank procured medical equipment for children’s hospitals, in particular for Zaporizhzhia Regional Clinical Children’s Hospital. 

The bank has also recently purchased a high-level ultrasound diagnostic system for the Institute of Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology, after buying a modern anesthetic breathing apparatus for them in the early autumn.

For 29 years, we have been on the Ukrainian market and all our customers, employees and society alike feel supported by the powerful international Credit Agricole Group.
