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.

Great service. Lost my login details and a lovely Scottish lady guided me skilfully through the rescue mission. Faultless, helpful, knowledgable and I could feel the smile on the other end of the line.

I have been a customer for over 15 years and I have nothing but praise for the wonderful service that I have received and continue to receive. I have had to use the bank on a number of occasions recently, which has involved using my personal counsellor, and the service and advice has been first class. Having a personal counsellor is a great idea. I have no hesitation in recommending Britline.

I used CA Britline for over 20 years whilst living in France. The staff were excellent and any request for information, either on banking, saving or assurance was dealt with very promptly and clearly. Especially helpful to have English speaking line .The banking app and information provided were very easy to use.

Moving to France for a year was a daunting experience but having a personal advisor throughout the process has really helped navigate a foreign system. Being able to email our advisor and get a same day response was really reassuring. Nothing was too much trouble. The gold debit card was nice too!!

I have banked with BRITLINE in NORMANDIE for more than 20 Years.The service has been faultless throughout. Whether language, technical or banking support, BRITLINE and all the staff are excellent.. Sadly, they leave the British banks that we use with much to do to catch. Well done the BRITLINE team.
