Hi i will need to open a spanish bank account and as i am near algorfa thought i would try CRC as they have a bank and cash mechine in the village.

I am a non spanish speaker so can anyone advise if their service is good for english speakers and is their online banking page easy to navigate.

Also does anyone have any recommendations for banks.

I am only going to be comming over for short periods at first so just need an account to pay household bills living expenses etc.

Hi Markf727

We are in the process of purchasing a property now, I have looked at all scenarios and decided to go with a Starling personal account with a Euro account attached which I can pay all my DD's in Spain though and use to purchase goods in Spain from without being charged, Spanish accounts will charge a maintanance fee of approx 150 euros per year this can go towards house insurance I can't see the point also you can draw cash out if required at atm some are free just becarefull which you choose failing that take currency with you.

Regards

Andrew
