I pay no charges with Sabadell but do have my pension paid in and an insurance policy with them.

The death of Starling Bank will be when Lloyds buy them.

Paul M wrote:Excellent Yogibear, thank you! We are both with Sabadell but haven’t been told of any pending increased charges yet.

We each have an Expansion Account which they said is free if you deposit your monthly UK pension! More lies, we get charged €15 each every month despite paying our pensions directly in to our accounts. Mind you, Sabadell default M O is to just help themselves to random sums of our money whenever the please and with no explanation!!

Response to any query is usually ‘your account is being charged in line with its conditions’. So very helpful



We have the same type of account with Sabadell and deposit €700+ a month but were told that since we didn’t have any insurance with them it would be €15 a quarter, which is what we are being charged. Sabadell just seem to charge what they want as there is no consistency. Not yet heard from Sabadell about increased charges but I am waiting for the quarterly charge to go out early March.
We are also looking to change to TransferWise, soon to be called Wise, and ditch Sabadell.

Can anyone tell me please if they have transferred euros from Sabadell to their TransferWise debit card. We have a large amount in Sabadell due to doing residency and I want to move it as don’t trust Sabadell. If so was it easy to do on the Sabadell app ?? Many thanks

You don't move the euros to your Transferwise debit card per se, only to your Transferwise Belgian euro account and then you can spend them using your debit card.

To do the transfer, just use your Sabadell app and an international transfer to your Belgian IBAN.

Nope.

But they are currently in talks with Starling regarding a takeover.
