Receiving money in France
A sender abroad usually needs:
- Your IBAN
- Your full name
- Your bank's BIC, for payments from outside the SEPA area
Take these details from your bank's app or statement, not from a directory.

Uncle Jetlag Global Banking is a free reference tool, not a bank or payment service. It can't confirm that an account exists, who owns it, or that a payment will arrive. Always confirm payment details with your bank or the recipient before sending money. Never share online banking passwords, PINs or one-time codes with anyone.
