Sabadell bank €140 per year think they are all looking to charge as much as possible 🤔

Our fees as non.residents used to be 35 euros per quarter ,now up to 40 euros per quarter ,another thing to make you aware is charges for withdrawals ,we arrived back in Spain 24 May ,I went to Sabadell in La Marina withdrew 70 euros and went back 45mins later and withdrew another 70 ,when I viewed my account over the next couple of days twice charged 1,75 euros for withdrawals ,i wont get stung again il go back to withdrawing from Santander as we have done in the past

Thanks for that ,I use Transferwise for transfer Sterling into Euro ,I find the rate very good I would think 1.16 at moment ,they dont charge much for conversion , then minimal charge for transfer to Sabadell ,I paid £5 for card and can use for shopping, restaurants,petrol etc when in Spain but can only withdraw 200 euros per month from auto teller ,as I said ,we use Santander for cash ,no charge

Hi everyone-STOP paying excessive bank fees!!!! Open a Transferwise ( or Wise) account now!!! It takes a few minutes online to create & deposit euros-then contact your Spanish Amenities and give them your new online acc details!!! Eezy peezy & no more fees

Hi Kiki ,I have not found it to be that easy ,the tv and broadband provider has agreed to be paid by card ,this can be done through Transferwise ,the agent for electricity has informed me I can pay a week earlier each month to pay through Transferwise ,I do not envisage a problem for community fees, that leaves the water, the last time I visited water company in San Fulgencio ,the woman informed me that her English was very limited and as I am in Spain ,I think it is her right to speak her native tongue ,my Spanish is very ,very limited ,I think when I go I will have to ask her to please be very patient while I use google translate .Which brings me onto Suma ,we are leaving Spain 8 August ,returning 21 November ,which I think is well after Suma is due to be paid ,any suggestions please
