I saw some posts about american wanting to move to Europe; so just before you guys make the move, double-triple check insurances/banks, because literally every time I (not american) do smth financially related in France, they ask me if I am american? If yes, they won’t even open accounts/ give me insurance etc… Sounds discriminatory but apperently because legal
I dont know if that expands to any other field
EDIT: lol i am now wondering what are people are downvoting for? You dont like that fact, so you downvote whoever told you that fact? Some reactions are hilarious
If you’re not American, why are you telling the institutions that you are?
Huh? Where i said that
My question was genuine. You wrote:
And my misunderstanding is genuine? I dont know how you derived that fact from what i posted lol i never stated “i am american” to anyone, because it is not only factually false but also would bring me problems
I believe you. My understanding of your post:
Hence my question. That’s all.
Alright maybe my English is at fault. “If yes” meant to be: when I asked “what d happen in the hypothesis I was american”?
Well, my reading comprehension as also not the best some times so I’m definitely not innocent here. I can take things to literally (and not understand sarcasm). Thanks for clarifying. I hope I didn’t cause offence.
How do you know that they won’t open an account if you say yes? Do you know people who have had this experience, or did the banks tell you that they would not provide these services for Americans?
The insurance told me, but you can google that information yourself, or simply call any bank in france usually they do have english speaking line
They propably slip explanation to the question like “Good, then we can open the account”
