Anybody know anything about these guys?

I got a call back from an english speaking agent and they told me they can open an account for me without the need to travel to France to open the account, or to be a frequent traveller or property owner.

You need to send them 3 things to open the account:

-A copy of your passport, signed and stamped at your local garda station will suffice.
-A copy of a recent utility bill
-A recent tax document

You MUST open a current account along with the savings account. The current account costs €35 a year in administration charges. The savings accounts don't have fees.

I only got details of their instant access accounts but they have term accounts also. The instant access accounts are as follows:

The 'Livre A': 1.75% PA, can deposit up to €15300 max
Instant access savings: 1.5% PA, no max deposit.

They also have internet banking but you have to pay for it.
The €1 per month service allows you to only check the balances of your accounts, the €1.50 per month service allows you to move money to and from your accounts also.
