First of all, you should know that it is required to have a French bank account for most of the administrative procedures you will have to carry out (registration with the Health Insurance, electricity/gas plan, mobile plan, internet bundle, housing aid application).
We therefore strongly recommend that you open a French bank account as soon as you arrive in France, as this will make it easier for you 👍
Why do we recommend Monese? Because it is the only neobank to offer a French IBAN and you will need it for most of your business in France.
Opening a bank account is free and virtually instantaneous: all you need is a smartphone. Also, customer support is multilingual (French, English, Spanish…) 👌
