We help residents and non-residents open a Spanish bank account: we prepare the file for your bank and interpret at the meeting. The bank makes the decision.
Your bank appointment, fully prepared
Spanish banks love documents and dislike haste. We prepare a file tailored to the requirements of the specific bank, run the meeting with interpreting for you and see it through to an active card. If your account has been blocked, we identify the cause and put together the package to unblock it.

FAQ
Can I open an account without a residence permit?
Yes, a non-resident account is a working option: you will need a non-residency certificate and proof of income. We will pick the bank where your situation goes through most easily.
The bank has blocked my account. What should I do?
Do not panic and do not send documents at random. We will break down the bank's request, put together a source-of-funds package and reply in Spanish. The sooner you write to us, the sooner the account is unblocked.
Can a non-resident get a mortgage?
Yes, usually up to 60-70% of the property value. We will assemble the file, send it to several banks and compare the actual terms - you choose the best offer.
What documents are needed to open an account?
It depends on the bank and whether you are resident. Usually a passport, an NIE or non-residency certificate, and proof of income. We give you the exact list after reviewing your case, so you do not visit the branch twice.
Why does the bank ask about the source of funds?
It is a compliance requirement, not suspicion of you personally. The clearer the file, the fewer questions follow. We prepare it the way the bank expects to see it.
Can an account be opened remotely?
Some banks allow it, others require you in person. We look at your situation and pick a bank where your case goes through.
Do you guarantee the account will be opened?
The decision is the bank's and nobody can guarantee it. We are accountable for the preparation: we build the file to that bank's requirements and run the meeting so nothing fails on a formality.
What does the price include?
Our work: choosing the bank, preparing documents, attending the meeting with translation, and activating the card and online banking. The bank's own fees you pay directly to them.
