Crelan is a Belgian bank with roots in agricultural lending. The bank is a universal bank providing services throughout Belgium. The bank and brand were established after the merger of Landbouwkrediet / Crédit Agricole and Centea in 2013.

The bank was 50 percent owned by the French Crédit Agricole at the time of the merger. In June 2015 Crelan again became 100% Belgian owned cooperative bank, owned by its clients. As of 2018, Crelan Group had 919,887 customers, approximately 600 branches, and made a net profit of €66 million.

In 2012 Crelan was designated a significant Institution under the criteria of European Banking Supervision, and as a consequence is directly supervised by the European Central Bank.
