Best bank for non-residents?

I'm buying a holiday home in Quesada and have had a Sabadell bank account set up through the agent. Not very impressed so far with Sabadell customer service, as the contact I have been allocated is not responding to my emails. Anybody else have this problem? Also concerned about fees. Can anyone recommend a good bank please?

You won't go far wrong with Sabadell - They have different accounts and some without charges/fees - Depends what you need. All banks charge/have fees in Spain. We have been very happy with Sabadell after using other banks in Spain (a couple of which closed down). They have a very good online banking system. You can contact then through Twittter as well if you ever have problems with them. They have a branch in Quesada town and we have found them very good in there.

Worth giving them a chance - You can always change later if you feel it necessary.

Have a look at Bank Inter, if there is a branch nearby.

theres loads of stuff about and free banking and very cheap ways to transfer cash to it, on this site, ive written plenty myself, so don't want to duplicate it, if you search for banks, Sabadell, Santander, and transferwise, on this site you should find all you need to make a decision. good luck.
