2. Operating model
Crédit Agricole CIB’s Japan page describes a Tokyo franchise across investment and corporate banking, global markets, real-asset financing, international trade and transaction banking, corporate and leverage finance, distribution, and financing services. The official Japan network page also describes project, export, trade, aviation, real-estate, JPY financing, derivatives, hedging, debt capital markets, JGB primary-dealer, and JSCC IRS participation.
The FSA list is the source of truth for the Banking Act branch name and current registry inclusion. The 2026 Crédit Agricole CIB office notice confirms the group relocation to Azabudai Hills; branch address details should be checked against the current FSA workbook when address precision matters.
3. Why this page matters
- Separates Crédit Agricole’s Japan bank branch from its life-insurance company and securities branch.
- Adds a France / CIB branch peer to bnp-paribas-japan, socgen-japan, and natixis-japan.
- Supports the foreign-bank branch map in foreign-bank-japan-retreat without treating foreign banks as retail banks.
