Hi Martin,

Did you also see this?

I don't think anyone could have predicted, more than 6 months ago, that this illegal discrimination was going to occur.

Kind regards,

Kim

I’m in the same boat and will be doing this now. I’m with Sabadell and their charges are ridiculous. Recently retired I started to go through all my outgoings. They were charging me €74 for a debit and credit card. There was also a quarterly charge of €34 to maintain the account and a charge for every transaction/ standing order and Direct Debit. I hadn’t been in Spain since last July and, being based in N.I. had no need to access or use the account. Last week I went to their branch in LaZenia and changed the account type to one with a set charge of €40 per quarter with no other fees for cards or transactions. However, on reading the comments I will look into Revolut.
