Calling all Indian expats in France! Feeling lost in the world of French banking? This video is your ultimate guide! Forget the ease of UPI, here's what you NEED to know:
The Big Differences:
Appointment-Based: Unlike India, opening a French account requires an appointment.
Direct Debits Rule: Bills (Sim card, utilities) automatically deduct from your account. Say goodbye to individual payments!
Choosing Your Bank:
Student vs. Professional: Identify your needs to pick the best bank.
Research is Key: Explore options like BNP Paribas with classic and premium cards.
Premium Perks (with Caution): Premium cards allow higher contactless transactions, but use them responsibly!
Conquering the Application Process:
Documents Ready? Gather your rental agreement, ID, and job offer/student admission letter.
The Branch Visit: Head to your chosen bank and submit your documents.
Card & Code Delivery: Expect your card and account activation code via mail.
Unlocking Your Account: Here's the twist! Text the code to 38655, receive a new PIN code, then return to the branch for activation with a deposit/debit.
Mobile Banking Activation: The branch will provide a separate code for mobile banking activation via mail.
Managing Your Money:
Sending Money Home: Good news! Sending money to India is free.

Maintaining a Balance: Students can often keep a 0 EUR minimum balance.
Bonus Tips & Things to Know:

Direct Debits for Everything: Be prepared for automatic deductions for utilities and even your Sim card.
Free Money & Insurance: Students can receive 50-80 EUR for opening an account and enjoy free house and civil liability insurance (under 26).
