I’ve just had Wise pay my monthly direct debit to Iberdrola, I set this up a few weeks ago and cancelled my one set up via Sabadell.
Got an e-mail today saying the payment was made successfully, I’ll go online to my Iberdrola account to ensure it has been pain to them and, if so, I will then cancel other DD’s from Sabadell and set them up with Wise.
Will then be looking to close my Sabadell account, hopefully not having to visit the branch in person to do so!

I bet it was 1.149 euros to the pound . You won’t get over 1.18 anywhere at the moment let alone 1.49 .
If it was 1.14 then that’s a poor rate and on £90k you stand to lose out by between €1500 and €1800 compared to Wise. Always check fee + difference in rate.
He did say made a point error a while ago 1.149🤷♂️

you also have to compare the rate not just the charges.
Hi Open a REVOLUT bank Account using the App, transfer from UK bank to the App and change to Euros at the actual Bank Rate in the App then transfer on to Spanish Bank all no cost at all.
