Bonjour les ami(e)s OPENING A BANK🏦 is a big step, especially in another country🤷🏽♀️
Unless you’re looking to LIVE IN FRANCE 🇫🇷 long-term, you probably won’t actually create an account with a French bank.☝🏽😊
However, this conversation allows you to familiarize yourself with SPECIALIZED VOCABULARY such as 👉🏽financial terms and
👉🏽document names,
which can be helpful even during shorter trips:
😊YOU/VOUS: Bonjour. Je voudrais ouvrir un compte. (Hello. I would like to open an account.)
👩🏽💻BANQUIER (BANKER): Très bien. Avez-vous une carte d’identité ? (Very good. Do you have ID?)
😊YOU/VOUS: J’ai un passeport américain. (I have an American passport.)
👩🏽💻BANQUIER: Ça marche. Avez-vous donc un titre de séjour ? (That works. Do you have a visa, then?)
😊YOU/VOUS: Oui, je l’ai apporté avec moi. (Yes, I brought it with me.)
👩🏽💻BANQUIER: Bien. Enfin, avez-vous quelque chose avec votre adresse, une facture par exemple? (Good. Finally, do you have something with your address, a bill for example ?)
😊YOU/VOUS: Oh, je pense que non. C’est obligatoire ? (Oh, I don’t think so. It’s required?)
👩🏽💻BANQUIER: Oui. Pouvez-vous revenir demain, vers 14h ? (Yes. Can you return tomorrow, around 2 p.m.?)
😊YOU/VOUS: Oui, merci. Je vous vois demain. Bonne journée. (Yes, thank you. I’ll see you tomorrow. Have a good day.)
👩🏽💻BANQUIER: Bonne journée. (Have a good day.)
It’s important to note that in France🇫🇷 ,
👉🏽a carte de crédit (credit card) is actually a debit card.
👉🏽Carte bancaire (bank card) or even carte bleue (blue card) are also used to refer to a debit card. 👉🏽The term carte de débit (debit card) is rare even though that’s technically what the card is.
👉🏽Another useful word could be un impôt (a tax).
