French Bank Account

Recommended Posts

As Braco said, unless there is something specific in US law you should be able to open an account. However, we needed to supply documentation proving our address in France, power bill etc. We are with the local branch of CA; we can't pay in cheques etc in another area; each region is separate.

With Britline, I understand you can open an accountl by post, although I think the same problem exists with them as regards paying in etc in another area; you probably have to put it in the post.

Trainman, we opened a French bank account while we were in France negotiating the purchase of our residence secondaire.

We were (and still are) residents of the US.

We were required to provide proof of our primary residence (i.e., the US one). Of course, we were not intending to become full-time residents of France.
