Cela prend 24 hr aux USA. BNP ou la France? incroyablement lent. pas de compte, pas de service électricité. une tonne de paperasse et snail mail. Sllooooow. I never thought I could buy property in France faster than I can open a bank account. even being born in France!

Stay away from this bank at all costs !…read more The worst customer service ever. Rude, totally inefficient and unreliable financial institution. Unable to have access to my online accounts after tons of mailed codes and SMS and now they are asking me 13 euros to have one statement paper copy. More over for years they kept charging me dubious fees. Choose any other bank but this crooked one. They will give you a nervous breakdown.

please stay away from HSBC France especially when you are not from France, they are proud to call…read morethemselves the bank they are the worst. no matter if you have 20K on the account, they have spending limits, you cannot spent more than 3K, no matter if you have the money or not. customer service is the worst to none....seriously never been so frustrated with a bank. cards that stop working and you have to wait 5 days for a new card, they don't care if you can or cannot do anything else. stay away, stay away!!!

0 stars would be generous…read more My experience with HSBC France has been atrocious: * Online portal not working * Faulty and absurd password systems * Unfriendly and unhelpful customer service * Financial statements that have disappeared entirely * HSBC contacts simply not showing up for scheduled calls I am accountable for not doing my own research before signing-up with them and am living with the results until I can close my account ASAP. I hope those of you who were smart enough to research beforehand can benefit from my review.

I know it's kind of strange giving 5-stars to a bank especially given the charged international…read moreeconomic situation, but I absolutely love my bank, and the various bankers that I've dealt with at Crédit du Nord. I was literally wooed to Credit du Nord many years ago while working for a production company that had an account with them. I had them on the phone almost weekly to deal with annoying wire transfers, faxes and confirmations. They were always super sweet and professional. My contact there offered to set me up with an account. I already had one at LCL but wasn't happy with them so I accepted. The experience was night and day. My new banker really took the time to understand my situation, which as a freelancer was not always the most stable, offering great rates and helping with last minute freak outs to transfer money from one account to another. My original banker there left a few years ago and it was tearful saying goodbye to someone who was so supportive and available to me throughout the years. My new adviser is really great too and is always available when I need her. Can't recommend this branch of Crédit du Nord more!
