French business bank accounts
How can I be sure my bank account in France will be opened?
This is a frequent asked question and a concern for many of our customers but you can be confident that we are here to help. Our Compamium package includes a money back guarantee, so if we fail to open your business bank account, we will reimburse you 100% of our fees.
Which banks in France do you work with?
All of our partner banks are fully licensed to operate in France, in the initial stages of the process we don’t provide a list of them all until we have identified the right one for you. Once we have contacted them and all the eligibility checks have been completed we will provide you with a list of the banks willing to open your account for you to choose from.
When do I need to open my French company account?
If you ask us to find a bank for you, we will open the bank account right after the company formation has been completed.
Do I need to travel to France?
A lot of banks will require an in-person meeting in France before an account can be opened. However, we also provide banking solutions which allow you to subscribe online for a company bank account removing the need for you to travel. Check with us if you are eligible to this travel free service.
What is a bank KYC?
Know Your Customer (KYC) is the process a bank goes through to identify and verify the validity of its customers. The ultimate decision to open a bank account always rests with the bank and it will need to check the identity of all shareholders (persons or companies for subsidiaries) to comply with anti-money laundering regulations, it is common practice in France as in any country.

“What stood out about Companow’s services was how it was so clear and easy to follow. Furthermore, they deliver great customer service. Alain and Yvane where amazing, they kept me informed at all times and guided me through the process expertly – I would recommend them to anyone looking to set up in France.”
Greg Barrow, Hargenant
“Here in the UK we can set up a business in 24 hours and start – this is not the case in France. However, with the help of a business like ‘Companow’, everything is possible, and more importantly, it is done quickly and effectively. They listened to what we needed, gave excellent guidance and advice, and then handled all the background work. I knew we wouldn’t have to go anywhere else, they could handle it all. This partnership is the best investment we made in our French business.”
Fabienne Tyler, Renouvelle
