🇫🇷 France · Banque professionnelle
Ouverture de comptes professionnels, options de banque à distance, documents requis et frais.
France has no single account-opening registry; banks are supervised by the ACPR, attached to the Banque de France. New companies deposit share capital in a dedicated account at formation, and a statutory "right to an account" applies if a business is refused.
- A capital-deposit account is required to register most companies; the bank issues a deposit certificate used in the formation file.
- France is part of the SEPA area; both traditional banks and licensed e-money/payment institutions can serve businesses.
- If a company is refused an account, it can invoke the "droit au compte" through the Banque de France.
