Hey bunqers 🌈,

After our German IBANs got released, we thought it was time to go a little southwest. Now, you can have your own French IBAN and bank like a local in France 🇫🇷

French IBANs are available for all bunqers residing in France, and to bunqers with a bunq Pro or a bunq Elite plan residing anywhere across the EEA.

How can I get a French IBAN?

If you're new to bunq and live in France

1. Sign up for bunq

2. Verify your identity

3. Re-confirm your phone number and agree to the T&Cs

4. Your bunq account with your French IBAN bank account is ready-to-go

The coolest part about this is that French IBANs are automatically set-up for all the plans we offer, including bunq Free, Core, Pro, Elite and bunq Pack, when you're a new bunqer signing up with a French address.

You can check which identity documents we currently accept here 🔎

If you're already using bunq and move to France

It's super simple to get a French IBAN account, even if you're already using bunq and have Dutch IBAN accounts. First, you can update your address in your bunq app to keep all of your personal information up-to-date. Here's how:

Just a heads-up, you'll be asked to verify your identity again when you're opening a new French IBAN bank account. It's a standard step required by French regulations for all new French IBANs holders, designed to keep your account safe. So here's how you can add your new French IBAN account:

What happens to my old IBANs?

Wondering what happens to your old, Dutch IBANs? You’re free to keep and use them as usual — they won't change!

What if I'm not a French resident but I still want a French IBAN?

So you don't live in France but want to get a French IBAN? We've got you.

Don't worry, this doesn't mean that there's a problem with your account. It’s just a security measure required by French regulations for all new French IBANs holders, designed to keep your account safe.
