Opening a Bank Account
Opening a bank account in Spain for foreigners is one of the first steps to become legally established. It is necessary to rent a home, set up a direct debit account for basic utilities, pay for paperwork or, as simply, to receive a salary.
The requirements for opening a bank account in Spain for foreigners seem simple, at least at first glance, but everything changes when you go to the bank office. In most cases, the list of documentation, supporting documents and copies seems endless, especially as soon as you arrive in Spain.
What do you need to know?
- Compulsory when renting or buying a property in Spain
- Elegiremos el banco más adecuando a su situación particular. Podemos abrirle la cuenta bancaria con solamente pasaporte.
- Tras el endurecimiento de las políticas relacionadas con el blanqueo de capitales, así como a la normativa legislativa en el sector bancario, la apertura de una cuenta bancaria en España por parte de no residentes es cada vez más dificil, con denegaciones en muchos casos.
- El éxito en la apertura de una cuenta bancaria en una entidad española, por parte de un extranjero, depende en gran medida de los conocimientos de asesores y la fidelidad de la sucursal con ellos. Por ese motivo muchos clientes reciben denegación por parte del banco, si acuden solos a la cita sin informarse previamente sobre toda la documentación necesaria.
