Tips to avoid financial scams in France
From fake bank advisors to ‘too good to be true’ offers, this is how to avoid getting caught out
Go online for free banking
Reading the recent news of a freeze on French bank charges and subsequent readers’ comments, I’d like to add that I have recently changed my French bank from Crédit Agricole to Orange Bank online (arranged at my local Orange phone shop).
Advertisment
With this account I receive a cheque book, debit card, ATM free withdrawals and full banking facilities online.
Most importantly, no fees or charges provided I use my card at least three times per month (otherwise it incurs a €5 fee). Free banking! Maybe it’s time to vote with our money?
