Calyon was created in May 2004 by the transfer to CAI of assets from Crédit Lyonnais' Corporate and Investment Banking division. The division was rebranded Crédit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank (CACIB) in February 2010.
In September 2022, Xavier Musca has been appointed CEO of CACIB, in replacement of Jacques Ripoll[3]
