Did you have any problems with closing your Spanish non resident account or did the Bank let you go easily?

...htmare trying to change it to that account.Not sure if they accept closures Online.

I waited till nothing due for a month then transferred in exactly the amount to make an amount I could take out from the hole in the wall (through xe), withdrew it then typed a letter closing account with immediate effect, handed in at bank with cut up card and walked away. They closed my account same day and stopped my access to app ( so get any records you want first) all utilities were easy just went to office (Iberdrola, Aqualia, Internet and insurance) and set up new dd's with Wise, no-one even questioned it. Had to make an appointment at town Hall and set up dd for IBI, Car Tax and refuse collection, took less than 20 mins once got appointment (take interpreter if not confident and just remember €160 pa you'll save. I haven't worked out who to talk to re community charge but I will. Take my advice and go for it
