French Property, Banks and Payments

gadgetgeezer10

Hi
I have a property in France and a current account with a French bank (CIC) to pay the French mortgage.
The French bank charges a monthly fee - 3.80 Euro's a month. I'm looking for another bank with:-
a) The ability to look at all previous statements/transactions online - CIC only offers 3 months.
b) An english speaking contact/service
c) Low fees
d) The account must be able to pay direct debits outbound to the french mortgage lender.

Anyone have any recommendations?

Who do you bank with in the UK?

It might be worth giving them a call and asking about this service.

Some banks do offer Euro accounts such as Citibank and my banking provider - Handelsbanken.

Not sure on charges.

Go for Soc Gen's international clients' branch in Paris, which is located in the official head office building, particularly if there are reasons you need a French account.
