[Jean Dupuis]

Hello,

it is possible to send money to a french Friend ( so personal account) without complication? Something like 2000€.

Because I heard about tracfin :

Tracfin in France switch on red lights⁤ over 7500 Euros for personal and 50.000 Euros for business.
So you are under the⁣ radar .

one payment?
or summed per destination or source? for what unit of time?

 

[Bmw850]

One shot payment. Those amounts pop up on tracfin screen. For example‍ 10*5000 Eur will not be seen by tracfin.

 

[void]

funny, it's really hard to believe that it could be so stupid

 

[Bmw850]

Tracfin cannot track all amount everyday on every account, it s unworkable. And‌ for my business ( hardware ) 50k is a joke.

What's your margin on 50k?

 

[Bmw850]

13-15% why?

 

[Nyep]

Just curious. 13-15 % is pretty good actually,‌ good on ya.

Hello thank for your reply.
Please what is your source for this information?
From what‌ i read is 1000€ by transaction.

Because :
Communication systématique d'informations (COSI) relative aux transmissions‍ de fonds

( google translate
The thresholds from which information is required are set at⁠ € 1,000 per transaction and € 2,000 cumulative per customer over a calendar month.

My source is from my bankers in France.
Anyway will⁣ try to explain.
The bank inform tracfin for the amount you specified but it s⁢ not automatic and not forced. To let you understand better in 2017 , 57.000 transactions︀ have been reported through the 10 big bank in France. So you understand that is︁ really not automatic.
Now you have to make difference between two reporting from the bank︂ , the one without doubt of terrorism goal, money laundering etc and the one with.︃
The 1000 and 2000€ mentioned may be reported or not , but they are in︄ the first group.
The amounts I mentioned , are in the second group , and︅ then tracfin must put your account under surveillance.
So I answered your question a bit︆ fast but the point was you can send 2000euros to your friend and nothing will︇ happen
