Never had any problem with them in that respect! My only problem with my bank is that there is only have one clerk working and only 3 at a time are allowed into the bank, one customer getting served and 2 waiting to be served with everyone else waiting outside! Bit of a joke also you cant deposit...

... money after 11:30am, now thst is s joke!!

It's crazy 

Everyone needs to complain by letter

Thanks honey 

I've had my Spanish account for over 20 years but I find now they are not as they were some time ago 

I've always paid by direct debit now I'm told visit the bank with certain paperwork or they will freeze account this is the second time they have done this

Perhaps it's just me having a rant but in 20 yrs I've not had to do that only since Brexit

It's not the going in the bank it's the pressure of the time they give then if you can't get over they freeze account

I'll be over soon to sort it 

Thank you for your reply x

I believe in old school doing things face to face so any mistakes can be made on the spot and you get written conformation in your hand which you can check there and then, so any mistakes can be rectified on the spot, don't forget Spanish banking hours are completely different to UK banking hours 8:30am to 2:00pm! Thursday is 8:30am to 6:00pm, but check these times as they change during the low season and high season and you can only deposit up to 11:30am, good luck

Many thanks for your reply 

I agree face to face 

I've had this account over 20 years now so I'm hoping they don't freeze it before I get over next month
