Hi all,

I'm a new arrival in Alicante and searching for info about Banking. Are there any Banks in the city that cater to potential customers with poor Spanish?

Many thanks!

We have been with Sabadell for five years and can highly recommend them, great in branch and online banking, they use the slogan we speak your language and we have found English speaking staff in any branch we have used while the online service is also in English.

Thanks very much, John

That's really helpful and backs up what I've been told. So much appreciated.

I'll pay the local branch a visit first thing tomorrow to try and organise an appointment.

Cheers

I'll vouch for Sabadell too. I speak fluent Spanish, but notice that at my branch In El Campello a large amount of the customers are foreigners, so the staff use English to communicate with them.

Thanks very much! Really helpful. I've got 3 months of Immersion Language Training starting next week so, hopefully, after that I won't need to rely so much on the "We Speak Your Language" service🙄🙄🙄🙄
