Inactive accounts

An inactive bank account is an account that has not recorded any transactions from the account holder(s) over the last 12 months for a current account or 5 years for a savings account. 

After 10 years without any activity, the bank closes the account and deposits the money to the “Caisse des Dépôts et de Consignations”. Learn more information about inactive and dormant accounts here.

If there has been no activity instigated by you on your account, you will receive a letter by post to inform you that your account is classed as inactive by the bank.

In order to reactivate your account, you can do one of the following:

• Complete and return the form (coupon) attached to the letter to contact@britline.com
• Make a transfer to your account or make a physical card payment.
