Credit Agricole SA is launching a new division for ultra-rich customers combining the services of its private bankers and senior investment bankers.

The French bank said Monday it is creating a new private investment banking division focused on ultra-high net worth individuals and family holdings across the world.

The bank's corporate-and-investment bank and its wealth-management brand Indosuez Wealth Management are joining forces to support the new division, which will be led by Silvia Calvello, who was named global head of private investment banking.
