Banco Santander. The Sub Director and Director at the bank speak perfect English and are very helpful.

Hi Tuxedo & Pumpkin, we are in a similar situation and are currently in the process of buying a house in Serón so this is really useful information for us too. Thank you.

We have an account called a Key Account Plus at Banco Sabadell in Vera which was opened on our behalf by our lawyers, Mundi Abogados. The bank does everything for you in English, the documentation is in English, the website is also in English and so bank transfers etc are straightforward and they have a good smartphone app and low charges. They have a very high number of British, German and other nationalities among their customers and are well-used to expats and holiday home owners.

Our lawyer opened our account with BMN bank in Albox again all documents can be transferred into English and when using online banking you have the option of which language which is great. A couple in the bank can speak English also.
