Article L. 511-1 of the Monetary and Financial Code defines the notion of credit institution. “Credit institutions are legal persons which carry out banking operations as a regular profession. They include the receipt of funds from the public, credit operations, as well as the provision of customers or the management of means of payment”.
It should already be specified that this definition is not perfectly harmonized with Community law (see, for a detailed study, G. Damy, Les aspects juridique des fusions et acquisitions Bancaires Nationales et Européennes, Litec, 2005, no. 411 et seq.).
