It's pretty random. For instance my bank seems to work with PokerStars, but no other site... Let's hope that this ridiculous situation with the EU will end soon.
I'd really advice HSBC for another reason : when you move abroad, the account transfer is free.
If you want more advice, you should go to
www.clubpoker.net and ask there. Be careful, the forum is French only, you should request help from your wife...
