I think you will find it's your NIE

Thank you

Definatey you nie/tie. I had the same issue with HSBC UK.

Just googled it, you're right:

As a general rule, the Tax Identification Number of natural persons of Spanish nationality will be their Spanish National ID (DNI), followed by a verification code. For those who are not Spanish nationals, it will be the Foreigners' Identity Number(NIE), which is issued by the Ministry of Interior.

In Spain it's your NIE. In UK it's your NI number. So if your UK bank wants your Spanish tax ident no then NIE, if your Spanish bank wants your UK tax ident no then it's your NINO.
