Hello, I will be moving to Camposol soon and I am wondering if anyone can recommend a bank to open an account with?

Are there any accounts that are free of charge and don't charge for using an ATM?

Thanks for your help

Many people use Wise or Revolut. You can set up direct debits and there are minimal exchange costs and in currency payments are free. If you want a physical bank and are moving permanently, an account with Caixa bank can be free if you pay in €700 per month or take out one of their insurance products. ATM withdrawals are free and there is a branch on Camposol.

Use the search facility at the top of this page & search for 'Free Banking' or 'Banking'.

Lots & lots of good information there.

Wise and revoult are not banks but currency exchange companies, you also pay for withdrawals at atms. 

Both Cajamar with their Wefferent account and Banco Sabadell offer free online accounts.

Wouldn't reccomend Banco Sabadell, they are a nightmare to deal with and charge €28+ euros for £'s to be transferred in.

With a Caixa card - yes. Not sure about other cards as I don’t have them. From other posts, I believe there are charges for Uk cards and wise and revolut. I am sure others will be able to help with further information.

I use a Caixa card at ATMs to withdraw money and am charged ,4./4.50 each time at Caixa ATM  machines. I think Sabadell don't charge even if it's not a Sabadell account but not certain.
