Europe's largest retail bank and asset manager, serving 54M customers across 12 countries
Crédit Agricole is a large-scale universal bank with 157,000 employees operating across retail banking, insurance, asset management, and corporate finance. The tech stack mirrors a legacy financial institution—heavy on COBOL, SAS, SAP, Bloomberg—while actively adopting AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor) and enterprise collaboration (Jira, MCP). Hiring momentum is accelerating, skewed toward interns and junior roles (153 and 47 respectively), with finance and data teams leading new capacity—consistent with the regulatory and operational modernization roadmap evident in projects around DORA compliance, KYC automation, and fintech expansion into Portugal and Singapore.
