LCL Rolls Out Kolecto Nationwide for Mandatory Electronic Invoicing
LCL officially announces the nationwide deployment of the Kolecto solution to its professional clients starting in the first half of 2026. This management platform, approved by the General Directorate of Public Finances, supports entrepreneurs in complying with mandatory electronic invoicing.
Formalizing the Partnership
LCL and Kolecto have formalized a partnership aimed at equipping professionals in response to the mandatory electronic invoicing reform in France. Kolecto, a fintech specialized in managing small and medium-sized enterprises and affiliated with Crédit Agricole Group, offers a platform that is approved and registered by the General Directorate of Public Finances. The digital solution centralizes the creation of compliant quotes and invoices, real-time treasury monitoring, as well as the automation of reminders and payment flows.
Implementation Strategy
Starting in the first half of 2026, LCL will implement the Kolecto solution through its 1,500 professional advisors nationwide. The system is accessible via two relational channels: LCL à la carte in the branch network and L by LCL pro (100% digital format). This deployment aims to familiarize small and medium-sized enterprise leaders with the regulatory reform and to enable them to equip themselves directly via the Kolecto platform or in coordination with their accountant.
Efficiency and Collaboration
According to a study conducted in 2024 by Kolecto on a panel of 100 users issuing an average of 30 invoices per month, users of the solution report an average time saving of up to 5 hours per week. The partnership is part of an approach that brings together banks, accountants, and technology platforms, respecting existing organizations and strengthening collaboration among partners.
