In December, Ma French Bank announced that it was studying a plan to cease operations. The mobile bank will therefore close its doors. But when? This is the question asked by one of MoneyVox readers. No date has been announced yet but the closure will not take place for at least a year.
Question from Emma from December 21
I opened a Ma French Bank account, will it be closed and when?
Hello Emma and thank you for your question. On December 20, La Banque Postale and Ma French Bank announced that they had initiated an information-consultation procedure with their respective staff representative bodies on December 18, 2023. These procedures aim to study a project to cease the activities of Ma French Bank, the 100% mobile bank of the La Banque Postale group, and the conditions under which it would be implemented.
La Banque Postale: My French Bank is almost over!
A closure yes but not immediately
It therefore seems that the bank in which you recently decided to open an account will indeed close its doors. However, this cessation project will not succeed immediately. The cessation of activity would take between 12 and 18 months.
You, like the 675,000 other customers claimed by the mobile bank, will be able to turn to La Banque Postale in order to open a bank account. In fact, La Banque Postale has already committed to offering all Ma French Bank customers the possibility of opening an account with it. It is obviously always possible to turn to another online bank from now on. But there is no rush, you have time to compare them before you decide.
