Good to know

guichet

Many branches mostly see customers by appointment, and simple operations are often done on the app or at the cash machine. If you have a problem, book an appointment or go to the reception desk.

jour ouvré

Transfers only move on working days, meaning Monday to Friday except public holidays. A transfer made on a Friday evening or at the weekend often arrives only on the next working day.

relevé de compte

The statement lists the transactions on your account. It is usually available online, and the branch can also give you one on request.

IBAN

A transfer is made with the recipient's IBAN, a number that starts with FR for an account in France. A mistake in this number or in the name is one possible cause of delay.
