Egg France
Capitalising on its British success, Egg launched in France in mid 2002 with La Carte Egg. However, despite investing heavily in the French market, the services were never popular with the French, who generally hold fewer credit cards than the British. In 2004, Egg decided to close its French operations, selling the unsecured lending business to fr:Banque Accord and the savings and brokerage businesses to ING of the Netherlands.
