We are buying a holiday apt in orihuela, not as residents. We will be making regular payments for utilities etc. What bank would you recommend?

It has to be wise (formally transferwise) online account. So easy to use for direct debits and paying for anything contactless, pin or on-line. Cash withdrawals over £200 / month have a charge but this has never been an issue for me as I hardly use actual cash nowadays! The exchanging of £’s to €’s is so easy and by far the best exchange rates around.
