Banking Advice

Why not just open a Wise.com euro account & pay all your DD from there ??

You don't actually need a Spanish bank account nowadays.

If you are concerned about moving your DD ask your solicitor to do it for you.

Thanks Roland. We were always under the impression that non-residents needed a bank account. Good news if not! Didn’t know that we could ask a solicitor to move the dd either.

Do you have any further information on Wise? We have used it before but only to transfer money to our Spanish bank account. Can you’d eat up your dd yourself? I think our solicitor has a charge for this so may just use them so it’s right. I thought some places would only accept payments from a Spanish account.

You can change your bank details on a direct debit yourself.

Some companies you can do it online.

Some Spanish companies will tell you that they will only accept a direct debit from a Spanish bank.

That is not true.
