Hi All Happy Bankers ????????  What an awful bank is Santander,  I am not ashamed or frightened to mention them by name, because since buying a holiday home in Spain 4 years ago, this bank has given me a shocking insight into the 3rd-world Banking system in Spain (and its not just me th...

...at is complaining about this).   From the moment of our commitment to purchase our property when they wanted over 2000 Euros to transfer funds from the UK, to date, this Bank has given me major headaches and stress, culminating in their latest rouse.   For 2 months I have been unable to see my on-line banking details and now am unable to transfer funds from the UK.  Tried to contact them by phone..... not a hope-in-hell (3 days on the phone with 15-20 minutes wait.... no reply.)     When In Spain, had several problems with the ATM  and a massive wait to discuss problems with sub-directors in person.  Not to mention.. the constant monthly charges and letters threatening to withdraw banking facilities if we do not state our Spanish Income....which is non - as we are both retired and do not generate income in Spain.

SO... can anyone out there honestly say that they are satisfied and happy with their Bank... please advise before I tighten the rope   Thanks for reading.

Yes we have banked with Sabadell as non-residents since December and they have been very helpful.  After initially being charged for transferring monthly funds from the UK they helped us to set up a regular transfer that doesnt cost us.  Their online facilities are very good and I have always been able to get them on the phone when needed. I am also with the branch at El Rincon. Mary

Hi,

Do you need a Spanish telephone number to get the banking App. That's the problem we are having with Santander as we live in the UK and don't have a Spanish phone number.

Suggest downloading the app and trying, it will either work or it won't! Having said that, the online banking is pretty straightforward and an English language option, so app not so essential.
