From Riviera Reporter Issue 105
Banks come in for their share of criticism so it’s good to recognise
when they make a real effort to be helpful. Certainly, that’s the case
with Barclays which, recognising the increasing flow of Brits and other
anglophones into France, has revamped its services for these clients.
The
“Destination France” programme brings together mortgages and other
aspects of property purchase with general banking services — current
accounts, debit cards and the rest. In addition, the bank offers
“Francesolutions”, a package of readily accessible information on
topics right across the board from financial and real estate issues to
broader questions such as health care, education, dealing with the
French administration and much more. English-speaking advisers are
available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Says Ian MacDonald,
head of International Clients in France: “We have 85 years of
experience here. This service has been specially designed to enable
British people to settle and live here with a minimum of hassle.”
