French banks offer welcome bonuses and mobility incentives

Banks in France are utilizing various welcome bonuses and loyalty incentives to attract new customers. While traditional network banks may have specific waiting periods before a former client can qualify as a new customer again, many online banks have implemented policies to prevent repeat bonus claims to limit windfall effects.

BforBank is currently offering incentives totaling up to 330 euros for new clients. This includes a 250-euro e-gift card for customers who utilize banking mobility services to transfer recurring payments or transfers to their account. Additionally, an 80-euro loyalty bonus is available with the BforZEN card. The gift card incentive requires signing a mobility mandate and is valid for subscriptions made through November 11, 2026.
