Sabadell Charges - free banking
Sabadell Charges - free banking
by MichaelC » Fri Jan 15, 2021 8:38 am
I am with Sabadell Bank and am supposed to get free banking if I deposit 700 Euro each month and hold a qualifying insurance account with them. This is the contract.
However they are now charging 18 euro for incoming international transfers, even though this is a requirement of the alleged free banking.
Is this a breach of contract?

No breach of contract......Use an intermediary such as Transferwise to transfer funds from your UK account and you will avoid the charge and also (probably) save money on the transfer.
....Also take a look at N26 bank https://n26.com/en-es

They used to be constrained by EU regulations. Now they're not. That's what you voted for isn't it?

Why do we get these continuous argumentative posts ?

Sorry but that makes no sense at all. The rules governing the transfer of funds are a SEPA (Single Euro Payment Area) agreement and UK is still in that even though not in the EU.
Sabadell are still bound by the EU regulations and they say that banks shouldn't be charging this fee.
Sabadell is trying it on. No other banks in Spain are levying these fees which are against the EU transfer regulations.
I'm sure that, in time, Sabadell will get their knuckles rapped by the EU but, until then, the only option is to vote with your feet and close your Sabadell account down.
On other sites, even transfers from Currencies Direct, Transferwise and other companies are being hit by this charge and one even says they are using IBAN from other countries but Sabadell are levying the charge on all transfers "originating" from UK.
Now, there are at least 4 threads on this. Read them and make your minds up but look into changing your bank.

As Marcliff says read the other posts as we had money transferred from Santander UK account & had no charges,as yet ,our friends had money from currencies index from a EU iban account & got charged €18. Makes no sense.

Just to add my experience with Sabadell. I transfer £700 a month by DD via TSB. I am charged €5 a month as I do not have any insurance with Sabadell, we have Residencia and the Expansion bank account and I was not charged €18 for this months transaction, my neighbour transfers about £150 a month, does not have Residencia and he was also not charged.
They seem to make up their own rules to suit themselves. I use the bank in Quesada.
