Just wondering if anyone has opened a Euro account with Credit Agricole in France? Seem to deal with Irish residents etc. despite calling it Britline! http://www.britline.com/currentaccount/applying/

Never did get a satisfactory answer from the 'straight talking - no nonsense' RaboDirect as to whether my Euros are 'Irish' € or Dutch € if things go bellyup...

On searching here I see Credit Agricole own Key Trade, Belgium which people seem to have dealt with without too much hassle.
 
Thanks chew, my search didn't seem to throw that one up.

By the way and on a different tack, anyone know of any hidden pitfalls in having savings in a sterling account in an Irish bank (Republic as opposed to NI or UK)? Obviously, exchange rate issues and question over sustainability of bank guarantee. I presume though in (perhaps unlikely) event of Ireland leaving Euro etc., at least the funds would be in sterling, which might or might not be a better thing but likely to be so?? thx if anyone can answer.
