BBVA Bank

Hello

You should use their online account which suffers no fees nor restrictions on inputs. They also offer to transfer all necessary items from your old bank to themselves (although somewhat earlier this did not work for me against Santander)

Their English language website is quite reasonable. You have to join using on-line only but they do allow use of face to face meeting within a local branch, if you have one, for awkward matters if arising.

The bank tends to be slow in certain actions, but patience gives its own reward.

Thanks for the reply

i think the   online account is for residents

im a non resident and the bank is appaling

i will change to another bank when my residencia come through ( im looking at a wefferent acc. and the N26 )

Your comment may well be true, for non-residents. The OP indicated resident. I addressed my remarks to the OP.

I would be interested in why your assessment of BBVA is so poor.

The disadvantage of having no access face to face with online banks who have no branches seems somewhat off putting. I have been a customer of several large banks here in Spain during my 25 years of full time residence (and ten previous years as a swallow) and over time rejected them all bar the current incumbent. I am strict with my bank(s) and would recommend similar diligence for all. I am also quite content with TransferWise (so far), but where necessary I can pop up the road here and bang the desk if anything troubles me at BBVA. So far so good!

Hiya

My Mother used BBVA for 20 years and I am now using them, we are non residents based in the UK.  We have not suffered any monthly charges or the exorbitant charges of Bankia who I have a small mortgage with.  The online banking is useful to as I can see my account and transfer as necessary.

Our Branch is at Punta Prima and although they can be slow as its a 2 person show mostly, they are quite helpful and not expensive to use.

Hope this is helpful

 Hi Marcbernard

My charges for the last year was 180 eur which i find unacceptable (non resident)

as i said previously im looking to move once i become resident ( waiting for card although ive been told i am now officially a resident )

when i first came over here my branch was in Torre3vieja but i mainly used the  Punta Prima branch and they were very good

i have moved a couple of times and have returned to use the torrevieja branch where they dont respond to emails, msgs

that is my opinion of BBva

I got an appointment with my advisor and all she wanted to do was sell insurance, investment and said that if i wanted to avoid charges then maybe go to another bank !!!!
