Good morning to you Jean...YES! The 'Spanish dream', is now turning into a nightmare!

As I stated in an earlier post, I am now re-considering my options, and thinking of a new direction, where?..I don't know!

To me, this is sheer 'greed', and with what 'certain' members of society are doing, is taking a LOT of people for what THEY can achieve, emotionally AND financially!

I am SO concerned about my bank account, I am just waiting for the next 'hit'.

What if there WAS a discrepancy, what could we do, who would act for us...NOBODY...ANOTHER greedy individual?

In all honesty Jean, I wish to hell that I had NEVER come here!

As soon as I confirm an alternative, I will be outta here like a bullet!

I may buy another motorhome, and hit the road again, Looking back I was SO much h happier, just driving from A to B, and enjoying life...This is NOT enjoyment...Just 'worry', fighting the constant elements!

Thank you again Jean, try to be happy...🅱️⛾.

Until recently I had a Spanish Bank Account because Spanish untility companies will only accept IBAN's with an ES.. N26.com introduced one and I was on it straight away. Goodbye and good ridence Sabetell

N26.com are safe.. I've moved 10's thousands of Euros through The Netherlands, France, Spain and via wise.com into UK pounds

wise.com, if you don't already know have very good exchange rates.. They are not a Bank just a transfer parner

Wise are actually a bank, not just a currency transferring company. They don't have branches anywhere, as it’s all online, but standing orders, direct debits etc can be paid out from your account as per normal banking procedures.
