The story

Crédit du Maroc is Morocco's seventh largest bank, historically operating as a subsidiary of Crédit Agricole before being acquired by Moroccan conglomerate Holmarcom Group in December 2022. Following the ownership change, the bank pursued a digital transformation strategy, engaging Temenos for core banking modernization, and secured a $50M IFC trade finance facility in 2023. The bank offers a full suite of retail, professional, and corporate banking products under Moroccan regulatory oversight (Bank Al-Maghrib). Its embedded finance footprint is primarily that of a traditional chartered bank operating its own lending, deposit, and payment infrastructure in Morocco.
