What can you do if the bank denies your application to open a bank account in France?

You want to open a bank account in France but the bank denies your application? No worries, we will give you the solution!

If the bank denies your application once you are a resident in France, you can ask for a "lettre de refus" (the bank has to provide the letter by law).


👉 If your financial history is respectable you can contact the "Banque de France" (with your letter of refusal, your ID and proof of residence). The bank of France will ask you to complete a document called "droit au compte" and will designate a bank that is obliged to accept you.
