Hi Mslynn
I use “Wise”, currently, just for transferring money so yes, there’s a need to set up your bank details, password, email etc. All very simple

They also have a debit card you can load up to enable you to pay for services and goods. £5 if I remember correctly
I understand you can also use it as a regular account, for paying your Spanish direct debits. I’ve not explored this yet. My brain still tells me I need a bank I can walk into if I have problems 😄😄 Something for the future perhaps 🤪🥂
I think you will cope 🤣
Hardest bit is giving suppliers/Providers new IBAN

Have you considered Revolut. It's basically a uk bank account with a Visa card that you can top up immediately and use anywhere that accepts Visa. You get instant exchange rate and you can choose whether to exchange or not. You can exchange to many different currencies, not just sterling to euros...

.... No charge to exchange.

Went to new york few years ago and used there, last time was over in our apartment in villa martin we used revolut was so easy to use

Hi
Your post of 28/4 just came, regarding transferring money to Spain we have a Santander Account in the UK, if I send for next day there is no charge,we used to use Barclays and that was 15.00 ,I dont know if they charge still, ,
Hi
Yes, great company, used them for many year.
This post that was quoted has been deleted.
I think you would have to take this up with Wise. You probably would need to transfer your Spanish sterling to a wise account and then transfer euro back your Spanish euro account. Long winded but probably still cheaper.
