Sabadell bank in santa pola centre. you sign contract in english languages and all cash machines automatically will be english when you insert your card. Perfect service.

Most banks will charge you for their services for example Sabadell charges 30€/month maintenance fee unless you pay 700€/month into your account easy bank to use as everything is in English. I think when we opened ours we took our passports Nie number and possible a copy to the deeds to the house, but I am sure if you email or call the branch someone will inform you what you need

You need passport only. Nothing else.

Hi, I can only speak from our experience, we setup a Sabadell account in early February and despite numerous bank visits and texts from the bank saying our cards are waiting to be collected in Santa Pola branch opposite the castle we are still without cards 5 weeks later, we received another text today saying our cards are there so i guess we will have another 30 minutes in the queue, fingers crossed our cards really are ready.
