Information on inactive bank accounts
The Act of 13 June 2014, called the “Eckert” Act, on inactive bank accounts and life assurance in escheat, came into effect on 1 January 2016.
What is an inactive bank account?
An account is considered inactive if, after 12 months :
- No transaction has been recorded on this account (not including interest and debit by the account holding institution, any fees and commissions or the payment of proceeds or redemption of capital or debt securities)
- And the account holder has not communicated or conducted any transaction on another account opened in their name in the same institution. This period shall be extended to 5 years for securities accounts, short-term deposits and regulated savings accounts.
This period shall be extended to 5 years for securities accounts, short-term deposits and regulated savings accounts.
The Act of 13 June 2014, called “Eckert” Act on inactive bank accounts life assurance in escheat [sic]. If the sums are blocked under the Act or any contractual provision, the 5-year term shall run from the expiration of the vesting period. The Act prescribes that an account deemed as inactive must be kept in the books of the bank for 10 years. After 10 years of inactivity, the bank shall close the account and transfer the deposits and assets to the Deposits and Consignments Fund (CDC), where they shall be kept for 20 years, and then be ultimately transferred to the State.
When an account is deemed inactive, the bank must inform the holder, or their legal representative or other authorised person known by the bank annually about this fact and its consequences.
Lastly, the bank must also inform them six (6) months before the deposits to the CDC.
Warning
This does not concern you if you regularly conduct transactions on at least one of your accounts or if you communicate with your bank regularly (by checking your accounts online, exchanging communications with your private bank by post or email).

Publication of information about the top 5 traders in terms of customers’ orders.
The objective of this report is to specify, on the one hand, the class of the top 5 investment firms in terms of volume of trade from Banque Richelieu France customers’ pending orders as of 2017 and, on the other hand, a summary of the performance quality.
Indeed, pursuant to Article 65, paragraph 6, of the Delegate Regulation (EU) 2017/565 of 25 April 2016: “when the investment firm selects other firms to provide order execution services, it shall summarise and make public, on an annual basis, for each class of financial instruments, the top five investment firms in terms of trading volumes where it transmitted or placed client orders for execution in the preceding year and information on the quality of execution obtained”.
Banque Richelieu France provides the following investment services :
- Acceptance-Issuance of Ordres ;
- Management on behalf of thrid parties ;
- Financial investment consultancy.
In that respect, the Bank issues its orders for execution to four market traders, and it is thus subject to the best selection obligation in accordance with the general principle of furtherance of the customers’ interests.
Banque Richelieu France has defined a selection policy of middlemen aimed at achieving the best possible results when the Bank issuing its orders.
All client orders were prepared by the traders from these 4 investment firms approved by the Broker committee.
Banque Richelieu France issues its Customers’ orders for Brokers to complete them. In this respect, the Bank takes any steps to select Brokers or counterparties which help them fulfil their obligations in the best possible way. In this vein, our institution conducts a yearly review of these authorised traders via an evaluation grid completed by the Director of the Financial Management Division, the Transaction Desk Officer and the Compliance Department for every counterparty. The rating criteria are: price, delivery settlement, order processing quality and research. In terms of Compliance, it relies on execution policies and the execution reports of counterparties.
This review is presented to the Broker Selection Committee, the ratings being presented in a meeting held at least once a year.
