It used to be 0.50€ to access your account but even then you could have had a free password that would allow you to look at your account but not do transfers etc.  I suggest you contact your branch for a password.    Report

It's like a plastic tube cut down one side, holds an exact number of coins in a column, then then the two halfs (halves?) fold together again. Very efficient. Please don't ask me what the french name is.....    Report

He now no longer counts it, just asks how much is in it - I was flummoxed the first time, as I hadn't a clue. So now I take a bag of all the little tiddlers along, tell him what's in it, and we're done. All very amicable, and no purse, pockets or drawers full of tiddlers - and before anyone pipes up, the wooden sort, not fancy pants!    Good friends are like stars ...... you don't always see them, but you know they're always there.    Report

When we were burgled they took the then bag, there must have been all of €5 in it ! When everybody is saying the same thing it's usually time to ask if they know what they are saying.    Report

Mind you to achieve this I only spent notes and saved all the change including the £1 coins, so I would use a £5 note to buy a 25p coffee and put £4.75 in the piggy bank.    Report

Our bank Banque Populaire in Boulogne sur Gesse stopped taking cash over the counter a little while back. To get to the cashier it was via two doors that you had to signal you wanted admittance and they would release the first and, once inside the first the same process for the second - which seemed fairly secure. Now, you now just enter via the first door and place the cash in an envelope and deposit it in a 'drawer' and this is available from early in the morning to late at night. The longer hours are more convenient. Paul   Was P2    Report
