Anyone got experience of dealing with large French companies? 10:02 - Aug 22 with 563 viewsartsbossbeard

I've been asked to supply a redacted bank statement signed by a legal representative of our bank and wonder if this is standard French practice or just this particular client?

A Google search hasn't really assisted..

TIA

I’ve been asked for similar before (unredacted but signed). I just sent a bank statement.

A lot of quite old fashioned practices from French companies I’ve found. They seem to like the idea of initialling every page of a document (once I had to travel to do it in person for a >100 page doc) or adding your company stamp after a signature (a bit of WordArt did the job there).

Equally I’ve often been told what’s needed, provided something different and it’s been accepted with a Gallic shrug and a hint of insouciance!

Cheers for the feedback, much appreciated!

I've contacted our bank rep and he's somewhat miffed as he's got to do something now..

Yes, it is quite standard to have to provide far more detailed information compared to what we are used to in the UK.

It does seem this way!

Company we've dealt with for years have been bought out by this French company and we're not really used to this level of supplier requirements. We're learning now though..

Not sure if it helps, but I was required to produce a bank statement in connection with my son's application for a Spanish study visa.

I printed out a colour copy of the statement and went to my building society who stamped each page of the statement.

Yeah, this sounds remarkably similar to what we're being asked for here now that we've opened up discussions.

Not ideal for the PLC that we are though...
