Thats Spanish banks for you...

We are with Bankia.. I updated their app on my phone, it lost my log in so unable to acccess, after 3 attempts it locked me out. Said i had to visit branch to re-set !!! Pain in the Ass...

sounds about par for the course. Even with my bank if I go in another branch they won't let me do things & tell me to go to my own branch. Even if I want to change branches you can only do it A) by going in your own branch & B) only if they agree??????
soI don't doubt that they want you to attend. If it was me & there were no dd's or so's I just clear it all bar a euro & leave it.

Yes indeed . That is why we are closing the account Because they blocked our card and said we have to go to the branch

I am waiting a refund off the Spanish taxman (18 months so far) after a property sale and they have these bank details. So need the account left open. Buggers are charging me €15 a month just to have it open and dont seem bothered when i ask about any reduced fee's

It costs Well over €100 to have an account - 2 x non res certs at €35 each , card at €25 plus quarterly fees -Spanish equiv of dick Turpin

Yes that’s why we kept ours open - just got the tax rebates so we moved the money to revolut euro account and now struggling to close it

IF and WHEN the funds come in. I will soon be over there for the withdrawal and close the account..
CANT WAIT...
Got a lovely garage in my Burstner all ready to accept cheap Spanish booze.

Since we sold up 2 years ago i have used our account only for debit card use. No issues thus far. Don't really need it now but having an addition DC is handy. Bankia, been with them since the 5 banks amalgamated.
