Are you a resident? I ask because I have two. I use imagin which is free online account from La Caixa and I have also recently opened a Wefferent account which is through CaixaAltea but I don't believe you need to be a resident for that one

I don't have an account but I thought Revolut managed their Euro account in Lithuania so you would end up with an LT IBAN.

Additionally - as Revolut are registered as a bank then there is the ECB protection on balances up to 100k Euros.

REVOLUT has Irish or Lithuanian IBAN

N26 German digital bank, but you can get it with Spanish IBAN if you use your Spanish address

Do you happen to know which IBANN26 would issue as we live in UK.

Thanks

Last year I used the address of the rental property that I had in Spain and declined the option of a physical card (so no need for anything to be sent to me) and operate the account on my phone. Spanish IBAN and no problems with registering with utility companies or broadband or supermarket deliveries etc.

Not sure about UK address, sorry.

May I ask please ? 

What ID did N26 ask for as presumably this would show your UK address ?

Also, if using the Spanish address does the account set up in Spanish language or can this be changed once set up ?

Thanks, Ken.

I'm researching non resident accounts with Spanish IBAN......to keep tax office happy. They owe us a refund from when we were residents but say the receiving account has to have a Spanish IBAN.......even though they were at fault!

Any recommendations welcome.

Thanks
