Summary
Presentation of the CMT Bank
The Monts-de-Piété, which have existed for nearly 200 years, were renamed Caisses de Crédit Municipal in 1918. Today, it is the only public credit institution in the Var. And as its name suggests, the Crédit Municipal de Toulon (CMT) has its head office based in the capital of the department.
On the other hand, it should be known that the Caisse de Crédit Municipal de Toulon is a public establishment of social assistance and credits. Moreover, the social dimension of the organization is recognized, in particular with the loan-on-pawn service. In addition, it is a real alternative to commercial banks.
CMT Banque cultivates a real philosophy that places people at the center of its action. Indeed, in the agencies of the network, you will not find automats. Transactions are carried out exclusively at the counter by an advisor. And also note that Crédit Municipal de Toulon has no shareholders to remunerate. This partly explains its positioning away from the market and its search for profitability.
