Abstract

¿Hasta qué punto el uso del cheque en Francia está inmerso en una cronología contradictoria en relación a su uso en otros países europeos? Ciertamente, mientras que la mayoría de los países europeos habían abandonado el uso del cheque, Francia todavía constituía una excepción: en 2014 un 60% de uso en Francia, frente al 3% en España. Sin embargo, pese a la extensa legislación y a la nacionalización del crédito en 1945, el uso del cheque permaneció a un nivel muy bajo durante medio siglo. A finales de la década de 1960, y principalmente a mediados de los setenta, se produjo un cambio decisivo. El uso del cheque estuvo fomentado por medidas que introducían el pago mensual de los salarios y la difusión de las cuentas bancarias. Con la liberalización del crédito, los bancos comerciales condujeron vigorosas campañas publicitarias hacia los hogares con especial énfasis en la clientela femenina. El cheque triunfó en Francia, libre de comisiones y muy ligado a la apertura de cuentas bancarias, mientras que la sociedad sin ese medio de pago empezaba a desarrollarse en otros países. Basándose en los grandes bancos y en los archivos del regulador, este artículo pone de manifiesto la paradoja cronológica francesa debida a la específica regulación del crédito y al tardío uso de los servicios bancarios por parte de los hogares.
