I'm planning to buy a villa in the Arboleas area and have spent a long time trying to find a convenient bank. 

I do not mean that it has to be geographically close as most banking is electronic.  What I am looking for is a bank that issues a simple current account for a non-resident,  will have so ability to speak in English,  and not try to sell health insurances etc that I do not need.&nb...

I have approached Sabadell  bank,  as their website looks impressive and several expats report good experiences,  but I've only found people who do not return calls, arrange times to talk and then are not available,  or are too busy to speak to me, so I've had to give them up. Maybe this is just bad luck and there is a helpful branch somewhere. 

 Others mention Santander or LaCaixa and I would be very interested to hear of these or anyone else that is satisfied with their account.

Hi,

There are various banks you can use in the area. I'm with BWM in Avenida del Puente, Albox and have always had good service, whether calling in person or online.
