Many of our clients prefer to organise their banking before arriving in France, to spend their time focusing on a property search or simply enjoying their holiday. Travel to France is not necessary to open your French bank account however you will need to provide certified identification in most cases.

France Home Finance will open a French bank account for you as a part of our French mortgage broker service. A France Home Finance advisor will walk you through the process to open your French bank account in just a few easy steps. Some French banks will require that you open a current account if you are taking a mortgage with them so it is often best to wait until you have finalised your mortgage choice before opening an account.

If you are not using France Home Finance for your French mortgage, we can still assist you.
