CREDIT LYONNAIS
CREDIT LYONNAIS, which trades as LCL, is a French société anonyme à conseil d’administration registered with the Lyon Trade and Companies Register under SIREN 954 509 741. INSEE’s Sirene register records the legal unit as active. The Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution (ACPR) authorises it as a credit institution in the “Banque” sub-category, with bank code (CIB) 30002, and the REGAFI register dates that authorisation from 1 October 1941. Its LEI is 9695009F5UPB9IITI298.
CREDIT LYONNAIS is a retail and commercial bank operating in France. Under its articles of association, its object is to carry on banking and related operations, to hold equity participations, and to carry on non-banking activities that banks are permitted, including insurance brokerage and real-estate transaction services. REGAFI also records it as authorised to provide investment services, including reception and transmission of orders, order execution, dealing on own account, portfolio management, investment advice, underwriting and placement. It also holds custody and account-keeping (from 3 February 1999) and regulated guarantees (from 25 June 1999). Its activity code is NAF 64.19Z (other monetary intermediation).
The company was founded in Lyon in 1863 as a limited-liability company. Its articles (version of 28 April 2026) say it was constituted as a société anonyme on 25 April 1872. Its registered office is 18 rue de la République, 69002 Lyon, and the articles put its central head office at 20 avenue de Paris, Villejuif. Sirene lists 1,432 open establishments (3,443 including closed ones) and a workforce band of 10,000 or more employees (2024 band). Its shares are not admitted to trading on a regulated market.
Company-level figures from the individual (social) accounts for the year to 31 December 2025: CREDIT LYONNAIS reported net banking income of €3,705m (2024: €3,644m), net income of €566m (2024: €681m) and total assets of €210.4bn. The same accounts give a workforce of 15,955 (2024: 15,757). The LCL consolidated accounts give net banking income of €3,952m and net income of €708m for 2025. Those are the figures returned by the government company-search API, and they are consolidated, not entity-level.
The 2025 management report gives outstanding loans of €173.8bn and customer assets of €259.3bn at the end of December 2025, and 262,000 new customers over the year. Also in 2025, the bank issued €1.5bn of Additional Tier 1 capital instruments and carried out home-loan and consumer-loan securitisations (individual accounts, note 1.2).

Shareholders of CREDIT LYONNAIS
CREDIT LYONNAIS (LCL) has share capital of €2,037,713,591, divided into 393,158,237 fully paid registered ordinary shares of €5.18 nominal each. Note 6.17 of LCL’s consolidated financial statements gives the shareholder table at 31 December 2025, and it discloses the whole shareholding:
- Crédit Agricole S.A. (SIREN 784 608 416) holds 375,686,584 shares, or 95.56% of capital and 95.56% of voting rights. The holding is direct.
- SACAM Développement (SAS, SIREN 444 369 607) holds 17,471,652 shares, or 4.44% of capital and voting rights. The 2025 corporate governance report says this company holds the Caisses régionales de Crédit Agricole’s interest in LCL.
- One share is shown under “other shareholders”.
The three lines add up exactly to the issued share count, and the table records no shares issued or redeemed in 2025. There is only one class of share, and the capital and voting percentages are identical. LCL’s shares are not admitted to trading on a regulated market. So who owns CREDIT LYONNAIS is answered by the company’s own filed accounts, not by market disclosures.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
Crédit Agricole S.A. is listed on Euronext Paris. Its 2025 universal registration document reports that at 31 December 2025, SAS Rue La Boétie held 63.49% of its capital and 63.50% of its voting rights. SAS Rue La Boétie (SIREN 439 208 190) is wholly owned by the Caisses régionales de Crédit Agricole. The remainder of Crédit Agricole S.A. was held by employees through FCPE funds (6.55%), by the public (29.95%) and as treasury shares (0.01%).
Calculated effective ownership through this chain: 63.49% × 95.56% ≈ 60.67% of CREDIT LYONNAIS is held by SAS Rue La Boétie via Crédit Agricole S.A. Ultimate control therefore rests with the cooperative network of Caisses régionales, not with an individual. No document reviewed names a natural person as a beneficial owner of LCL. The ownership chain above SACAM Développement was not verified for this page, so its 4.44% is not combined into the effective figure.
Data availability
Availability is full for direct shareholders, from LCL’s own audited accounts dated 31 December 2025. The French register of beneficial owners has not been open to the public since November 2022, so it could not be consulted. The provider shareholder table on this page names one natural person as the 100% holder of CREDIT LYONNAIS. That person is in fact the bank’s chief executive, and no filing supports the holding. The filed shareholder table above contradicts it, so it should be disregarded.

Directors and officers of CREDIT LYONNAIS
CREDIT LYONNAIS (LCL) is a société anonyme with a board of directors (conseil d’administration). The chair of the board and the chief executive are separate roles. The 2025 corporate governance report gives 16 directors at 31 December 2025:
- seven chairmen or chief executives of Caisses régionales de Crédit Agricole;
- one corporate director, SACAM Développement (SAS, SIREN 444 369 607), acting through a permanent representative;
- three executives of Crédit Agricole S.A.;
- three directors from outside the Crédit Agricole group;
- two directors elected by employees.
Jérôme Grivet has chaired the board since 24 April 2025. At the end of 2025, the two effective managers (dirigeants effectifs) under article L.511-13 of the Monetary and Financial Code were:
- Serge Magdeleine, Directeur général since 1 January 2024;
- Olivier Nicolas, Directeur général délégué since 25 July 2024.
Under the articles, directors serve three-year terms, with an age limit of 65 (70 for the chair).
The provider officer list shown on this page stores only 5 of the 136 rows it reports, and marks all five as resigned. One of these is wrong. Laurence Daures is stored as resigned, with an appointment date of 27 May 2013. The 2025 governance report lists her as a serving independent director, first appointed on 27 April 2017 and renewed on 27 April 2023, with her term running to the 2026 general meeting. BODACC notices published from April 2025 to 15 October 2026 record other board departures but none for her. The other four stored rows are former directors whose terms could not be dated from the documents reviewed. Neither the chair nor any current executive appears among the stored rows.
Recent officer changes
- 24 April 2025: Jérôme Grivet was appointed a director at the general meeting and chair by the board that day. He succeeded Philippe Brassac, who resigned (governance report 2025; BODACC notice B202500971069, published 21 May 2025).
- 1 January 2026: Jean-François Dupouy became Directeur général délégué. The board approved his appointment on 11 December 2025 (governance report 2025; BODACC notice B202600112028, published 18 January 2026).
- BODACC notice B202601003245, published 29 May 2026: Jean-Pierre Gaillard ceased to be a director and Olivier Borel became a director. The notice does not state the effective date.
Data availability
Officer information is full. The French register publishes the legal representatives, directors and permanent representatives through BODACC notices, and LCL publishes a dated board table every year. In its 2025 composition table, LCL’s governance report records French nationality for each director listed. The register itself does not publish nationality. Countries of residence are not disclosed.

Group Structure
Group structure of CREDIT LYONNAIS
CREDIT LYONNAIS (LCL) belongs to the Crédit Agricole group.
- Immediate parent: Crédit Agricole S.A., which holds 95.56% of LCL’s capital and voting rights. LCL’s 2025 consolidated accounts state that Crédit Agricole S.A. controls LCL within the meaning of article L.233-3 of the Code de commerce. Crédit Agricole S.A. fully consolidates LCL at 95.6% control and interest.
- Ultimate parent: SAS Rue La Boétie, which holds 63.49% of Crédit Agricole S.A. and is itself wholly owned by the Caisses régionales de Crédit Agricole.
- GLEIF: records LCL as directly consolidated by Crédit Agricole S.A.
LCL’s own consolidation scope at 31 December 2025 has three operating subsidiaries, all in France:
- Interfimo, held at 98.95%, an ACPR-authorised financing company;
- Fimo Courtage, owned through Interfimo;
- Angle Neuf, held at 100%.
The scope also includes two LCL compartments of securitisation funds (FCT). Below the materiality threshold, LCL lists further holdings that it does not consolidate. These include the wholly owned EURL Ste Anne St Augustin, and minority stakes such as 24% of Crédit Agricole Titres.
The stored group tree on this page puts a Chilean representative office of Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank beneath LCL. That entity appears in neither LCL’s consolidation scope nor its list of non-consolidated holdings, so it is not shown here as an LCL subsidiary.
