Members Lucky Posted September 14, 2011 Members Share Posted September 14, 2011 Failure seems to be the fear with French banks. How about that, bibottomboy? Do you keep your funds in a French bank? What's the word over there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you keep your funds in a French bank? What's the word over there? More importantly, do they have our FDIC equivalent?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiBottomBoy Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 They have an FDIC equivalent that insures deposits up to 100,000 euros. That said, I've never kept money in a French bank account. The amount of fees they charge for deposits is insane. Plus, I work freelance and get paid generally by wire transfer or PayPal. Wire transfers go into my American bank account on the same day. With French bank accounts it would take up to two weeks (and I'd get charged 15 percent). With PayPal it would take a week instead of the two days (and I'd get charged 10 percent.) Fuck French banks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
