Do not ever get bank account from PNB Paribas!

Hi
So just want to share my experiences with PNB Paribas, probably the biggest bank in France (?) and the most crap one.
I lived a year in France tolerating their crappiness and I'm not going to go into too much details, but if you want to avoid months of waiting for simple things, changing your address, getting your bank card, refused of service, the most complicated internet banking ever, their complete ignorance when sending them papers what they asked for, ripping of your bank account with "service fees" and not complying to agreements when asking to close down a bank account.
Do not make the same mistake as I did!

Hi,
You didn't any mistake.
The french banking sector is very concentrated, and the whole market is ruled by 3 or 4 big banking groups.
Therefore they take advantage for abusing customers even more years after years.
Imagine Frenches suffer this greed all the time along.If you are not rich, in France, you may choose La Banque postale, what is cheap and globally fair. If you are quite rich, the Martin Maurel bank may be a good choice. To my opinion.
