...18 euros for any payed in deposit to a British account, however Currency Direct would refund the 18 euros on request, this I know because Sabadell held my account, and my  monthly transfers was done by Currency Direct and sometimes by Wise, for me I find transferring funds from my UK bank to Currency Direct, then from Currency Direct to Sabadell, was too much hassle, so I went to my Sabadell branch and put forward my concerns. I was offered an account called Expansion, with this account the bank will do your D/D FOC., and if you are having at least 700 euros transferred every month then you will have free banking. I am still with Sabadell and I am enjoying free banking. But please check with the bank to see if there are any changes, good luck with whatever your choice.

Hi ,  I’m looking at transferring money from the Uk into a Spanish bank account.  Can you recommend who to chose for this.  I’m transferring a lump sum and then on regular monthly basis. Can this be done for free ?   Thanks in advance

Please let me know what you decide in the end. I use Wise for my small transfers but am planning to buy a house in Spain next year and will need to transfer a larger amount,  safely.  Thanks.

Hi… it’s looking like TorFX for the lump sum as that’s the most important.   The good thing is you can chose who gives you the best rate at the time.  👍

Thanks. For my pension and paying bills in Spain, I use my Wise card.
