Andrewjspencer Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 my apologies if this has been discussed here before.Is it possible to open a fench bank account whilst still resident in the UK? We have family in france and transferring cash, paying bills and holidays etc is overly complicated with just a UK account.I know banks like Credit Agricole have offices (branches?) in London - and not forgetting the net of course.Any advice welcomed.a bientot!

Will Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 I'm surprised nobody has given you an answer yet.You can open an account with most French banks as an 'etranger' - some need a French address but others seem happy to let you use a foreign address. However, the Britline service from Credit Agricole may suit you best, there have ben a lot of postings about it so a search on the forums for 'Britline' should turn up the information.Just a word of caution - you can pay quite high charges for French banking - there is a cost for many things that are free in Britain.

Greensleeves Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 We very successfully opened a French bank account with Credit Agricole(Britline), Caen - simply get onto their website and go from there - good luck. (www.britline.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
