If you are resident in France, I imagine that any French bank would be glad of your custom..

We get lots of 'offers' from our Natwide and Halifax but get to the T&Cs and they don't want to know you other than existing a/cs (and reducing the interest paid on the savings a/c). So I would expect HSBC would turn it's nose up at us!<br />LesleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792654918474025710.post-82517463386209702022015-05-25T09:57:35.220+02:002015-05-25T09:57:35.220+02:00I should have changed the batting order years ago ...I should have changed the batting order years ago - glad my global audience of one approves..!<br />We have an HSBC Carte Bleue - when I buy something with it, my Carte Bleue a/c records the purchase but our total CB purchases for the month are only debited from our current a/c once a month.

Very Good.<br />Our MasterCard with CreditAg. is purely a debit card and our a/c falls as soon as the merchant files the paperwork. Originally we signed up to some other arrangement that was costing us a small amount, but too much, a month for the priviledge. Banking in France is not cheap. LesleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
