Opening a bank account in France

Are you moving to France for your work ?

Do you intend to buy a property in France and need a bank account for your routine expenses ?

With your current account, you can receive your salary or your rent income.

You can use it to pay our routine expenses with the means of payment provided by Caisse d’Epargne Ile-de-France⁽¹⁾.

According to your personal situation, you will be asked to produce the following documents⁽²⁾ in order to open your bank account :

• Valid proof of identity (such as a passport)
• Proof of address, issued in the past 3 months
• Proof of income, issued in the past 3 months (such as a payslip or a copy of your expatriation contract)

Because living and working abroad or planning to buy property are complicated enough, the International Branch does everything to make your life easier.

You can apply to open an account and request your means of payment before your arrival in France.

You will just need to finalise the process during our meeting at the International Branch. 

You can contact us between 8.30 a.m. and 5.30 p.m., Monday to Friday (Paris times)
