Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Crédit Agricole
enterprise banking legacy
AS9159 is held by Crédit Agricole SA, one of the largest banking groups in France and a major cooperative retail bank in Europe. The AS carries the group's own corporate network infrastructure.
What it's used for
The announced space is enterprise banking infrastructure: internal corporate networks, back-office systems, and connectivity for the group's operations rather than any retail-ISP or hosting product. The inventory is a handful of contiguous legacy blocks (the 158.190.0.0/16–158.192.0.0/16 run plus 134.227.0.0/16 and a couple of /24s), consistent with a large institution numbering its own estate rather than assigning customer space.
Notable
- The registered holder is Crédit Agricole SA, the listed central body of the Crédit Agricole cooperative group.
- No PTRs were returned on the addresses sampled inside the announced prefixes, which is unremarkable for private corporate networks.
- The
158.190/16–158.192/16and134.227/16blocks are the sort of large early allocations that established enterprises have held for a long time, though the AS is best described by its current holder rather than any precise origin date.
Interesting
This is one of several bank-operated autonomous systems that appear in the low ASN range: a financial institution running its own AS for control over its corporate routing rather than to sell connectivity.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
