well, there's always the tit for tat response or maybe an extension of sanctions directly linked to the bank? Or maybe just put money into another bank? This act is childishness.

PARIS (Sputnik) – French bank Societe Generale is closing bank accounts of Russian diplomats in Paris without giving any explanations, a source in the Russian Foreign Ministry told RIA Novosti Friday.
"While members of the French National Assembly and Senate vote for lifting anti-Russian sanctions, French bank Societe Generale, apparently afraid of the United States, closes accounts of not just ordinary Russian nationals, it closes accounts of Russian diplomats," the source said.
He added that the bank's policy affected Russian officials working at the UNESCO, as well as Russian mission to France.
Societe Generale has not issued any statement on the issue so far.
