Credit Agricole SA is launching a new share repurchase program of up to 500 million euros ($579.7 million).

The French bank said Monday that the program would begin on Oct. 5 and end no later than Jan. 28 next year, with purchased shares to be canceled.

The new program launch follows completion of the bank's first share repurchase program for EUR558.6 million last month.
