I am not surprised about the uncaring, appauling disregard & the ignorance of the action (or lack of) carried out by "Caixa", but, this make my starting the post very crucial; to those who need advice to negotiate the minefield of "Pensioner" plight, by a system of banking that is not able an...

...d or willing to address the failings of our contribution to the "Spanish economy" and the "directors/CEO/shareholders" bonuses and dividends. In short they are taking advantage of our good nature and treating their customers with such distain and disregard that the only course of action is to look to those organisations that value their customers, it looks like "Wise" will be getting a call from me very soon.

The only problem with having your pension paid directly to Sabadell is that they don’t give you a good exchange rate. I leave mine until the rate is good then transfer this myself via Wise.

I have had a Sabadell expansion account for the four years I have lived here. For the first two years, I accepted that I was being charged fees (60€ p.a.) for the account.

When I started receiving my UK state pension, I went into my branch and pointed out to them that their own terms and conditions for that account stated that no fees would be charged if one's state pension was paid directly into the account. They immediately dropped the fee and I haven't paid one ...

Does it have to be a state pension? What about a company pension?
