FAQ
What is a bank account ?
In everyday language, a bank account means the account on which an individual can make secure deposits of money. It is used to centralize all traditional banking transactions, both debit and credit.
What is the right to the account?
The right to an account aims to eliminate the phenomenon of banking exclusion and applies when a bank refuses someone to open a bank account. When this happens, the person who wishes to open an account can make a request to the Banque de France. This request may also come from the bank that refused to open an account.
What is the Account Agreement?
When a customer opens a bank account, the account agreement refers to the agreement between the customer and the bank. This banking agreement includes all the important elements concerning the agreement, in particular the general conditions, the operating rules of the account or the rates charged by the banking establishment.
