We were quoted a similar fee by Deutsche Bank, it was a percentage of the amount transferred back to the UK. I was put in touch with HiFx who worked in conjunction with Bankinter ( by La Laguna hotel ) there was a flat 50€ fee. I also got the offer of fee free banking. So when Deutsche Bank closed in Quesada I moved to them. It has been a good experience so far. Good Luck.

Its the bank charging the fee.
When we bought over here we were told to transfer the monies in increments to avoid payment,but the bank want to charge 350e just to bank the cheque!!

How easy is it to change banks here in Spain? Anyone had experience they can share?

Surely your solicitor can transfer the money into your bank

You can always haggle with the bank manager but not with the counter staff or why not open another account at another bank whey will not charge
