Customer project : Excellence in customer relations at the heart of our organisation

CUSTOMER PROJECT: EXCELLENCE IN CUSTOMER RELATIONS AT THE HEART OF OUR ORGANISATION



Our new Customer Project reaffirms the place we give it within the Group. Our ambition is to become the preferred bank in France in all customer segments.

 HOW? 

Through the collective mobilisation of the entire Group around the satisfaction of our customers, the further development of digital services and the enhancement of our banking and non-banking services.

AMBITION 1

COLLECTIVELY MANAGING EXCELLENCE IN CUSTOMER RELATIONS

  • By mobilising all business lines around one goal: customer satisfaction
  • By driving this goal at the highest level by using the Net Promoter Score (NPS) in the assessment of employees, managers and senior executives
  • By installing a zero-defect culture and implementing a system to target pain points

AMBITION 2

BECOMING A BEST-IN-CLASS DIGITAL BANK  

  • Bringing all our tools and apps to the highest standards across all our markets
  • Being present where our customers are, where they need it: e-commerce sites, social networks, search engines
  • Capitalising on data to better serve our customers

AMBITION 3 

OFFERING CUSTOMERS A BROAD RANGE OF BANKING AND NON-BANKING SERVICES

  • Adapting our offerings to new customer behaviours and societal concerns
  • Providing services and utility to customers for a range of needs

They are available and listen to our concerns, they are very accessible; I’ve been with Crédit Agricole for a long time now, there is a relationship of trust, they know us well.
