Hi Kay 33,

I believe it used to be possible to do this with Revolut, but the loss of passporting rights for UK financial institutions, due to Brexit, may have changed that.  You'll need an IBAN (International Bank Account Number) to pay your Spanish direct debits, so make sure you can still get one with a Revolut account before changing.  If not, I'd suggest trying another online bank, such as Starling or Monzo.

Kind regards,

Kim
