Open a bank account as a non-resident.I travel to France on business regularly. I have been trying to open a bank account to make life easier for me. I am not having much luck as I am a non-resident. Does anyone know of a bank that will open a bank account for non-residents? What paperwork will they ask for? Thanks.

Re: Open a bank account as a non-resident.When you need to transfer your Sterling to Euro, use a broker rather than your bank. You can save up to 4% on the exchange rates. I used www.Worldwidecurrencies.com and I now have a standing order set up for my french mortgage payments. Rather than the exchange rate moving and my mortgage payment being different every month, I know exactly what my mortgage will cost me for the next 6 months.
