Crelan

Crelan is a 100% Belgian, cooperative bank that positions itself as a human-scale institution close to its customers. Its history is rooted in providing financial services to the agricultural sector (formerly known as Landbouwkrediet / Crédit Agricole). Today, it serves a broad audience including private individuals, self-employed persons, and SMEs. As a cooperative, customers can become co-owners of the bank by purchasing shares, which is central to its mission and business model. In 2022, Crelan finalized its merger with AXA Bank Belgium, significantly expanding its size, customer base, and market position within the Belgian banking landscape.
