I have used Sabadell, Av. Marques De Campo, for a couple of years now. I am very happy with the support received either online or in person, with communication never a problem. Much of our contact is made whilst we are in the UK.

Professional & friendly at all times.

Hi

You don't necessarily need a Spanish bank account, depending on your circumstances. Have a look at https://wise.com/es 

They don't offer loans of any sort, but can do pretty much everything else online, and cheap

Lots of other people on this forum use them

I also use Sabadell bank. I used them as a non resident for a couple of years then as a resident since 2014. Excellent service and communication. Their app is very useful. 

I've also been using Transferwise (now called Wise) for 8 years for transferring money from the UK to Sabadell Spain. Never had any problems.

Just to let you know I use Sabadell and have done for a few years, very good and have plenty of branches.

I used to send money via my HSBC as a direct transfer and was normally there the same day, if done in the morning.

Then I switched to using WISE transfer, even faster I had an acknowledgement via the Sabadell APP that the money had arrived 4 seconds after I had done the transfer.

So was in the Sabadell account before HSBC said it had left - Thats FAST and very good.

Sabadell is an excellent bank. If you live in the Comunidad Valenciana you will find that it has more branches in this area than other banks.

I have been with Bankia since 2003 and they speak English also pleased with the way they have treated me over the years.

I fund my account using Revoult from my U.K. account and transfers are instant at very good exchange rates

We also have used Bankia in Denia for many years. They have a number of staff fluent in English who are helpful and competent. My only reservation is that we find the banking charges very high compared to home (Ireland).
