On line only banking in Spain
Anyone using Ing banking or similar on line only banking in Spain? Does it avoid the usual high costs associated with banking here. Was it easy to change banks ?
Thank you for that. Is this a sterling bank ? I need to bank in euros.

Go for Revolut. Its entirely online and you can have an account in sterling or euros. You'll not find a better euro/sterling exchange rate. You do not need a UK address - can be Spanish; but you will need to scan and send a copy of your passport for identification purposes.
Thank you . I will check them out immediately.

personally I opened an account with Moneycorp. I deposit my UK and US pensions and they give a better rate than a bank when changing to Euros.Then you can go online and transfer the Euros to a Spanish bank.

Do they supply a card to use for drawing out cash at atm and use in general and do they charge for withdrawals as starling don’t I think ?

Hi, they don't charge me but it depends on what type of account..So if they charge, the money you save on the exchange would be gobbled up witht e charge?
They do issue travel cards. I don'rt have one now. Best to ring them and get all the details.
