CA Britline Stories

Read about our customers experiences of life in France

I have been with Britline (Credit Agricole Normandie) for about 15 years and have always had outstanding service from the Bank and its staff. They are knowledgeable, helpful and always respond to my queries. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Britline to anyone looking to set up a banking facility in Europe. In my opinion this is how all banks should operate.

I have banked with Britline for 6 years,since coming to France. They have always been fantastic. Helpful, knowledgeable and truly decent people to converse with. There’s no speaking to automated systems, it’s always real people who answer the phone quickly and ring you back! Absolutely love them. Thank you for all your support!

Britline service was excellent and they helped make our life so much easier in France. We loved how you could talk to a human being, and wait time was always short. Believe it or not English Banks could learn a lot about customer service from Britline!
