Hi we have NNIE numbers and our solicitor opened for us a bank account with cajamar . All we have for this account is a piece of paper no cards no online log in nothing at all . We are not now using the solicitor although we paid him 660 euros for the NNIE numbers and to open this bank account . We have tried so hard to contact the bank regarding this but to no avail . We have no idea if this account is still open and we need an account to pay our forward purchased currency into ready for us to go to the notary to pay for the house we are now purchasing time is getting tight . Anyone got any ideas we could try to make contact through cajamar to get online banking or someway we can get this account up and running so we can put our euros in . Gone on phone line to cajamar and it asks if we wish to speak to someone in English then it’s asks for our online banking / telephone banking password which we don’t have that’s why we are trying to get in touch . Please can anyone help

It would be much better if you could get to the bank in person to sort out what is going on.  We paid less than £10 each to obtain our NIE numbers in the UK and it was easy to open a Cajamar account ourselves.  I would feel uneasy about the solicitor that you have used and in getting no response.  It might also be that your cards etc are waiting at the bank for you.  Double check everything  before transferring any money. Good luck.

Wow..your solicitor charged you 660 euros for an NIE and just opening a bank account. That is something that should have been less than 50 euros. 

I work with people from Cajamar but unfortunately, I am not at liberty to disclose their phone numbers, but if you private message me with your details I will pass them on for you.

As soon as you get here change your Cajamar account o their online account called 'Wefferent'. It will save you a lot of money in commissions. I am not sure if it is for residents only though.

Kind regards

Ian

We were non resident when first opened our Wefferent account.  Very easy to use and can still go into the branch for any help.
