Uh.

Press Release

'It's a press release, boss!'

Yes, Voice. / Well, that's a relief, ain't it, kooks? For a moment there I had no idea what was going on.

'Let's do this!'

A new chapter begins for CCF (Crédit Commercial de France),

Oh, okay. It's all right for some.

'What? You can start a new chapter any time you like, boss.'

I'm not writing a novel, man. It's poems I need.

Anyway ...

January 1, 2024 marks an historic milestone for Crédit Commercial de France. Founded in 1917, CCF is now making its return to the French market.

Where has it been???

CCF remains true to its initial ambition by providing high-end personalized support to its clients. The cornerstone of its mission lies in prioritizing customer relationships, emphasizing the agility and simplicity of processes, and placing these principles at the core of its purpose and activities.

As the bank opens a new chapter, the same relationship managers continue to support customers in their financial and wealth projects.

But where has it been???

CCF Group demonstrates a robust -  

Yeah, yeah, okay. Let's see if we can get any sense out of Chad Leat ...

'Good luck with that.'

Chad Leat, Chairman of the Group CCF Board of Directors, declares:

'Oh, he declares! Bloody hell! "Well, I do declare." Ha, ha, ha!'

Shut up, Voice.

Ignore him, Chad.

"I am very proud to announce the completion of the acquisition of HSBC Continental Europe's retail banking activities and the reintroduction of the CCF brand, a storied French brand associated with quality, trust and success. The Group reaffirms its historical dedication to delivering exemplary retail banking and wealth management services. On behalf of the Board, I want to congratulate the entire CCF team, from branches to head offices, for the terrific work in the past two years to make this historic operation come true."

Ah, he's proud to announce. You see? It's the PR people who said he was declaring.

'Those ... never mind.'

Ha!

Nothing about where the bank has been though.

Here's Niccolo -

Niccolo Ubertalli, CEO of CCF Group, comments:

"We are ready to relaunch the prestigious CCF on the French market, capitalizing on an extremely solid financial foundation in terms of capital and liquidity. I warmly thank the Board for its support and trust throughout this monumental effort and the CCF Group team for its resilience and dedication. Let me welcome our customers and thank them for their trust: all our teams are fully mobilized to support them in the best conditions and to build with them their financial and patrimonial projects of tomorrow."

Okay.

For over a century, CCF has been at -

No, no. That's enough, PR people. Thank you.

Declares! Ha!

...

Anything else?

A new chapter?

Yeah, all right. I'm only writing about finance from now on. This is a finance blog.

'What about your conceptuals? Will they just be about finance?'

Don't be silly, Voice.

The conceptuals are something else. Personal, like. Just for me and selected kooks to spin with.

'Nice one.'

We like to get a-ROUND, don't we?

'Yeah!'

Ha!

Anyway ...
