Yes we dont make regular payments either. We rent the apartment out in the summer months and the money from that goes into Sabadell whenever we get paid but it's not a fixed regular amount. All our DD's go out from this account, Water, Electric, Community fees, SUMA, Telfy etc.

Received this from Sabadell, I have never overdrawn. Might have to swap accounts or banks

Regarding your email, we inform you that if you have a Relation account, there´s a maintenance fee of 30 euros, charged every three months. In addition, there's a transaction fee, of 65 cents for most transactions shown on your account. Also, if an overdraft ocurred over the last three months, there´s also an overdraft fee. So the amount you see is a combination of all or some of the fees mentioned before.

Certainly appears that you need to swap your account. There are others to choose from that may suit you better. They will explain all the other accounts if you ask. When we asked about other accounts they gave us all the options and we realised ours was best for us but I would definitely not use an account that charges per transaction!

Hi Gary,

Ask Sabadell if you can switch to their "Key Account" - this is what we were offered when we opened our non-residents account with them in 2016. Like Jan and the other posters, we used to pay Eu30 per month, but no transaction fees (we've now switched to their fee-free "Expansion Account", but this is for permanent residents who pay in a minimum of Eu700 per month).

Regards,
Paul

Many thanks, I originally had an account with Llyods who were taken over by Sabadell. I never got a choice of accounts so will go and see them when I'm next over

Interesting do you know if all account holders have to be over 60?



Any news on this as I can't see it on their website?
Thanks
