PARIS (Reuters) - French banks are prepared to cope with all Brexit scenarios to ensure services continue smoothly for clients, said the country's FBF bank lobby group after the UK parliament rejected Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit deal.

The FBF added that European and national authorities had passed rules to ensure banks will adapt to Brexit.

French banks with a presence in the UK have already announced the relocation of some staff and services to Paris and other cities in the European Union.
