The credit card is nowadays a standard. The majority of businesses (shops, boutiques and restaurants) accept it as a means of payment. We no longer walk around with cash in our pockets, but rather a card in our wallets. The banks then put available to their members special cards called corporate cards. An international bank card that supports local projects.

A corporate card, what is it?

A corporate card is like a classic card that allows its holder to withdraw money from ATMs. However, a corporate card is an option preferred by some for take advantage of some specific advantages (various assistance and insurance services).

Crédit Agricole, like all banks, offers member cards with advantages and privileges beyond the simple possession of a bank card.
