 eCredoc® service


eCredoc® enables you to open or amend your documentary credits and manage your documentary remittances online.

The Optim Internet system is based on digital certificates and a public key/private key architecture. CA Certificat, developed by the Crédit Agricole group, provides the following four levels of security:
1. Authentication: the system guarantees that the issuer and the recipient are who they say they are.
2. Integrity: the system detects any modification of the data being transmitted.
3. Confidentiality: the data transmission system is highly secure. Only authorised persons can gain access to the data being transmitted.
4. Non-repudiation: the system officially registers a declaration as soon as it is received, putting its reception beyond dispute.

 BoleroAdvise


Calyon was one of the first banks to join Bolero in France, and now offers the BoleroAdvise service to exporting companies that want to manage information relating to their documentary credits online. This reliable, secure, multi-bank solution allows exporters to be notified in real time when export documentary credits are opened and amended.

The automated interface between Calyon's IT systems and BoleroAdvise means that the customer is better informed and can carry out operations more quickly.

Calyon is an active member of the working party of French banks involved with BoleroAdvise, and is proposing several developments to the existing service, in order to add other documents and information aimed at exporters.

Furthermore, direct access is available to swift messages, discrepancies, acknowledgement of receipt, and accounting entries.
The service allows via its administrator within the organization of the importer to delegate levels of authorization and reporting capabilities.
