Hi folks,
I live in Ireland but have an apartment in Spain for the last 4 years which we use solely for personal use.
I set up a Bankia bank account in Spain for the purchase, but only really use it for the Suma, Home Insurance, electricity and water direct payments. Bankia have been charging €14 per month for account maintenance fees since February!!
These ridiculous costs make me question if I need an account in Spain at all?? If I lived there, then perhaps, but I typically spend only 4 - 5 weeks per year there.
Is there any reason why the Suma and other payments can't be made from my Irish bank account??
Thanks,
Paul
