Who this is for

This service is for Americans in France who are getting stuck trying to open a bank account, especially when the conversation stops after you mention you are a U.S. citizen, you have foreign income, or you do not yet have the full set of French documents. It also fits if you have been asked for documents you do not understand, if you keep receiving vague refusals, or if you need a practical plan to start paying rent and utilities reliably.

If you want end to end relocation support including housing, utilities, and your first 90 days admin setup, banking support can be included within End-to-End Relocation when it matches your priorities. If your only priority is housing, Housing Fast-Track is the better fit.

What we help you accomplish

We help you identify the fastest realistic path to a functioning banking setup and remove the common points of failure. That includes building a France ready document package, positioning your profile in a way that reduces friction, and running the follow up loop in French so you get clear answers and next steps instead of silence.

The goal is not to promise that a specific bank will accept you. The goal is to make your file credible, your outreach efficient, and your escalation path clear when a first attempt fails.

What is included

We begin with an intake focused on your current situation, your address and residency status, and how you need to use the account. We then build a document checklist tailored to what you can provide right now, and we identify what is missing and how to replace it temporarily when possible.

We package your documents in the expected order, with consistent naming and clear supporting context where it helps. If you have U.S. income or foreign documents, we help you present them in a way that a French bank can evaluate quickly, without over explaining and without contradictions.

We then structure outreach. That can include identifying a realistic shortlist of account options based on your constraints, preparing concise messages in French, and running follow ups until you get either a clear onboarding path or a clear refusal with reasons.

If you hit a wall, we help you plan the next attempt and keep proof and documentation clean. When an escalation path is relevant, we help you prepare the file and the sequence so you can use it effectively.

What you receive

You receive a short action plan that reflects your status today, not an ideal future situation. You receive a document package ready to submit, with a folder structure that is easy to maintain. You receive prepared outreach messages and a follow up plan. You receive a written handover that records what was attempted, what answers were given, and what your best next step is.

Typical timelines

Once your documents are available, preparation can be completed quickly. The overall timeline then depends on third party responsiveness and the specific path you pursue. We will be direct about what can be accelerated and what cannot, and we will prioritize the fastest path to getting you able to pay and receive money reliably.

How it works

You book a short call so we can confirm fit and scope, then you complete a structured intake and upload your documents once. We review what you have, identify gaps, and build the clean package. We then support outreach and follow ups, and we document the results and next steps.

What we need from you

We need clarity on how you will use the account, your address situation, and your core identity documents. We also need timely responses when a bank requests additional information, because delays often come from missed response windows rather than from the file itself.

Scope and boundaries

EasyFranceNow provides administrative support, coordination, and language support. We do not provide legal advice and we do not represent clients in regulated matters. We do not handle client funds. We cannot guarantee acceptance by any specific bank, but we do guarantee a disciplined process, coherent documentation, and structured follow up.
