- on-going administration fee – it is usually charged yearly or monthly;
- commission-fees for deposits or withdrawals;
- commission-fee for closing the account.
Documents requested for the opening of an French bank account might differ from bank to bank. However banks in France usually request the following documents:
- copies of passports/ID Cards of directors and shareholders;
- copy of the French company’s Articles of Association;
- copy of the company’s Certificate of Incorporation issued by the French Trade Register;
- Trade Register Extract/Certificate of Good Standing;
