Hi, with the recent increase in monthly charges, it's time to say goodbye to my current account with Bankia. I can't see an obvious way on their website to do this and was wondering if I had missed something ? I'm stuck in the UK at the moment, so a visit to the local branch isn't an option.  I don't want to just withdraw the balance and forget about it as no doubt Bankia will find a way to rack monthly charges up and hit me with a bill at some future date.

Just an update on our cancelled April flight.  Our refund was credited back to our current account yesterday.

We originally asked for a refund and were told that this would take sometime but do not apply a second time for the same refund.  Without asking, we received a link to a voucher which we didn't accept.

BBVA are offering free Banking accounts to residents and non-resdents. It is all online. It is very simple to switch over, you need your TIE or passport and a full face picture to upload when you complete the online application form.  The last stage of the application is a videocall to the bank, where you are asked to show the TIE or passport and your own face.

Hi,

We are permanently settled in Fuerteventura and have just sold our former home in the UK. We need to open another bank account in the UK to deposit part of the purchase price. Our current bank will have the maximum under the FSC bank compensation scheme, so don't want to put it in there. Any British residents who can recommend a UK bank that will open a easy access savings account for us ex-pats?

Thanks in anticipation.

Tom.
