Bank account in Spain
I am currently buying a property in La Zenia and need a Spanish account. Can anyone recommend a good Spanish bank?
Many thanks

In my experience, and that of most users of this forum, there is, sadly, no such thing.

I recently purchased a property in Torrevieja but did not open a Spanish bank account as they are very expensive to maintain.
I arrange with my Solicitors that I would make a few lodgement to Solicitors Client holding account and on day of Completion he draw down funds from Solicitors Holdings account.
I would look into opening a Wise Bank account for Standing orders for Water and Electricity and other utilities bills
Best 👌 of luck with your property purchase 😀 👍 🙌

As mentioned above a lot of people use a Wise online account which just takes a few minutes to set up, there are no monthly charges unlike a Spanish bank account which carries quarterly fees which can be anything up to 80€ per quarter. It can be used for transferring money or paying bills and it seems to be widely accepted by utility companies etc. for paying standing orders
