A European bank, leader in local public finance

Dexia was born in 1996 from the alliance of two top-level operators in local public sector financing in Europe: Crédit Communal de Belgique and Crédit Local de France.

It was the result of one of the very first cross-border mergers in the European banking sector and is classified among the twenty largest financial institutions in the euro zone and builds its strategy on two pillars: retail banking in Europe (Belgium, Luxembourg, Slovakia, Turkey) and a world leadership in financial services to the local public sector and project finance.

Two pillars: retail banking in Europe and public & project finance at global level.

Dexia is a retail bank which has 5.5 million customers in Belgium, Luxembourg, Slovakia and Turkey. Over the years, Dexia has developed a broad range of banking services for private individuals, small and medium sized businesses and institutional clients.

The Group is active in the sectors of asset management, insurance, investor services and capital markets. Dexia is the first global player on the local public finance sector. Know-how, long-term commitment and a high degree of solvency give a high visibility to Dexia. Dexia develops this strategy at world level.

Dexia’s success rests not only on its renown and its distribution capacities, but also on its ability to design sophisticated products and to develop innovative solutions responding the financial needs of its clientele.
