Credit Lyonnais (English spelling)

Credit Lyonnais (English spelling)
A French deposit bank with one of the world's largest deposit volumes. Founded in 1863 in Lyon by silk merchants and metallurgists from the Lyon region, Crédit Lyonnais started out as a regional bank with branches in the south of France, but between 1879 and 1882 it opened 63 branches in Paris and other major cities across the country, moved its headquarters from Lyon to Paris, and transformed into one of France's leading national banks alongside Société Générale. Crédit Lyonnais continued to expand its branch network, and by the eve of World War I, it had over 380 branches in France alone, and its deposit volume was the largest of any bank in Europe.
