She is correct, an IBAN number starting with BE is Belgian, which is still in the EU, therefore CAN be used.

An IBAN starting GB is UK, which is not in in the EU, so can NOT be used.

I use Wise for direct debits to Hydragua and Iberdrola with no problems

Go for it!

Many of us on this forum use Wise for direct debits, don't let your Solicitor distract you from this.

Using a Spanish bank for direct debits will cost you around €150 per annum in charges, there are no charges with the Wise account except small amounts for any transactions you make.
