## Ownership and group

GLEIF relationship records

The Confederation Nationale Credit Mutuel group has 41 institutions in the directory, in 13 countries: 38 hold a BIC and 3 do not.

Including [Credit Mutuel Arkea](https://elucidate.co/directory/credit-mutuel-arkea-cmbrfr2b), [Banque Federative du Credit Mutuel](https://elucidate.co/directory/banque-federative-du-credit-mutuel-cmcifrpa), [Banque Federative du Credit Mutuel](https://elucidate.co/directory/banque-federative-du-credit-mutuel-cmcifr2a), [Credit Industriel et Commercial](https://elucidate.co/directory/credit-industriel-et-commercial-cmcifrpp), [Credit Industriel et Commercial, New York Branch](https://elucidate.co/directory/credit-industriel-et-commercial-new-york-branch-cmcius33).

## Addresses

- **Registered address:** FRANCE
- **Operational address:** 61 AVENUE HALLEY PARC DE LA HAUTE BORNE VILLENEUVE D'ASCQ 59866 VILLENEUVE D'ASCQ CEDEX FRANCE

## ISO 20022 identification

As an agent in a Swift cross-border payment message (CBPR+)

A CBPR+ message identifies this institution by its BIC, and may add its LEI or a clearing code. CBPR+ does not allow a name and postal address next to a BIC.

- **Identified by:** BIC, with its LEI
- **Roles in CBPR+:** Debtor agent, creditor agent or an intermediary agent

### CBPR+

For cross-border payments on Swift: the BIC, with the LEI and clearing code where known

```xml
<FinInstnId>
  <BICFI>CFFIFR21XXX</BICFI>
  <LEI>969500EJMFFRSWFDJG41</LEI>
</FinInstnId>
```

### Full record

Every ISO 20022 element the directory holds. Base ISO 20022 allows them together. CBPR+ does not allow a name and address next to a BIC

```xml
<FinInstnId>
  <BICFI>CFFIFR21XXX</BICFI>
  <LEI>969500EJMFFRSWFDJG41</LEI>
  <Nm>COFIDIS</Nm>
</FinInstnId>
```

This BIC is not connected to Swift. Messages reach the institution through a correspondent bank, so it cannot be the instructing or instructed agent.

The BIC, name and address are as published in Swift’s BIC directory. The LEI comes from the Swift and GLEIF BIC-to-LEI file. Check them against your own records before use.

## Payment schemes and systems

EPC registers of 2026-09-11 · ECB T2 list of 2026-07-02 · ECB TIPS list of 2026-09-01 · SIX Bank Master valid on 2026-09-28

| Verification of Payee | 2025-10-09 | Head office | — |
| TIPS (TARGET Instant Payment Settlement)ISO 20022 messages | — | Head office | — |

SEPA dates are when the institution became ready for the scheme. TIPS entries have no joining date.

An institution missing from T2 may still be reachable through an indirect participant. The ECB’s TIPS list does not separate participants from reachable parties. It includes institutions reachable in Swedish kronor as well as in euro.

“ISO 20022 messages” marks a scheme or system whose rulebook or operator specifies ISO 20022 for messages between participants.

## National bank codes

### Code interbancaire (CIB) · France

1 code

| Code | Routes to BIC | Name in the national file | City |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 14940 | CFFIFR21XXX | Cofidis | VILLENEUVE D ASCQ |

Each code shows the name in the national file. Smaller banks often route through a central institution’s BIC. A code can therefore belong to a different bank than the one on this page.

Sources & method

Every value comes from a public source, such as Swift’s ISO 9362 BIC directory, GLEIF or the OFAC and EU sanctions lists. Most sources are matched on a BIC or an LEI, not on a name.

Swift GPI membership is matched on names and is indicative. A missing sanctions match does not mean that no listing applies. Always screen against the official lists.

The sanctions facts on this page cover the BIC and its LEI only.

An institution is one entry in the directory: a BIC8 in Swift’s directory, or a firm on a tracked register that holds no BIC. Licences held by an institution with a BIC are shown on its page.

## Assess the financial crime risk behind a BIC

A BIC identifies an institution; it does not assess it. The [Elucidate FinCrime Index (EFI)](https://elucidate.co/ratings) is an independent score of the financial crime risk of banks, built for correspondent banking and counterparty due diligence.
