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.

Thanks to Diane for assisting with changing my security limits at short notice. I have now used Britline for 23 years and I have been delighted with the service. Highly recommend for expats in France.

The Britline service from Credit Agricole is excellent. The App works well but when it's really necessary to speak to a human being the team there are always quick to respond, helpful and polite. If only all banks were the same.

In an emergency when my wallet was stolen, Clym provided exceptional and calm help. He took me through every step of the way to cancel the bankcard and set up a temporary card.

Everything sorted so efficiently, with patience and politeness. British in France should only ever consider joining Britline that are happy to support us in every possible way they can, being always bright and cheery on the phone, nothing seems to be too much for them when helping you out with a problem or query!

Exellent service over many years of owning a prperty in France. From a second home, to becoming our main home, Briline and their team were there to help us with life abroad. I have no cause to fault them. At all.

Superb service for more than 20 years, and the banking app is ideal, particularly with the new real time balance function. Frances and the team should be congratulated for excellent customer service.
