Eye-watering bank charges

I think it depends on what account you have.

I believe that there is a residents bank account and a non residents account. The residents account has either no charges or substantially less than the 35 euros.

I guess it’s all a bit academic as all banks are going to be introducing charges starting 

with HSBC I believe.This is how the banking world use to work years ago as all banks always charged.

I don’t agree with it, but this is the way it’s heading.

Yes, I will take a look.

As I say many of Banks worldwide are going to be making bank charges like they used to be. I guess time to move banks.

It seems unreasonable to me that they are as high as this.

They are having a larf. I already have an N26 card (free version) so I have a German IBAN. There is a mention of switching  people on German IBAN's to Spanish IBAN's on the N26 blog see https://n26.com/en-es/blog/local-iban-spain.  I contacted N26 Customer support today and they know nothing about this. Looking into the N26 options, I see that 'N26 You' account  @€9.90 pm for a 1 year contract, SEEMS to offer a possibility of a Spanish IBAN. I'll keep that in mind. It is still cheaper (by €40) than Sabadell. 

Hi I am also with sabadell and I presume you have a non resident account got notification last week going up to 40 euros a qtr from 24 th december

Maybe, but I don't think so, The rep in N26 said I would need to close the existing account. Opening a new one would be the easiest.

Yes I think that us what I will do.

Thanks for the info 

DavidES

Yes I have non resident account, but I have not got the notification as yet.

Was that by email or post?

Let us know how you get on with opening a second N26 account David.

It was with my statement
