Hi All,
Unfortunately after three years of fee-free Banking with Bankia I am faced with large fees from mid November so need to make alternative arrangements. Like many non-residents I only need an account for DDs with Comunidad, electricity (Endesa), water (CAAF) and council taxes (La Oliva). I can manage cash in other ways.
I have just opened a Wise account so now have my Belgian IBAN and am aware of IBAN discrimination being illegal in the EU but I am also aware that some institutions do not recognise this.
Simple question, has anyone successfully moved over to Wise and away from a Spanish IBAN ? I suspect Endesa will be okay but I am less sure about CAAF. As for the other two, if need be I will simply close my Bankia account and pay monthly community fees and annual council taxes manually. It is the two utilities that are my main concern.
Thanks for any replies.
