Advances and loans to the Regional Banks also become due and payable if repayments are not made within three months, except in exceptional circumstances approved in each case by the Board of Directors of the central body of Crédit Agricole.
For the duration of the delay, repayments due and not made bear interest in favour of the Central Body of Crédit Agricole at a rate set at 5% per annum. If the delay exceeds one year, interest is capitalised in accordance witharticle 1343-2 of the French Civil Code.
