Sharing banking secrecy without client consent: the 7 legal exceptions
By Raphaël MORENON8 May 2025Your bank has disclosed information about you without telling you, and you don't know whether this is legal. Banking secrecy, as set out in article L. 511-33 of the French Monetary and Financial Code, is subject to specific exceptions for public authorities, tax authorities and criminal courts. Knowing these exceptions allows you to determine when the bank was entitled to act, and when you can challenge it.
