Probably the  same reason why no Spanish speaking staff are employed in UK banks.

Jazus Biggles, I was just beginning to like you. There ain't that much difference to the amount of Spanish and English speakers in the world. I'll put a few inscriptions in Spanish on my new camper-caravan. Again I'll park it in a beach near you. Newsflash:- The bank in question is Spanish and is in Spain. I don't expect the staff in Irish banks to talk to me in Spanish. Worse again, I'm from an Irish speaking district in Ireland and even we can't get a bank official to speak to us in our native language. And I don't moan about it. 

Keep turning over that new leaf you're on. Even Jenni likes you now; so do I.

Google translate is my friend, when my limited Spanish runs out. I was in Albox Cajamar last week and the young lady who speaks good English wasn't there. The guy who dealt with me had no English, so after a couple of minutes stumbling over my rubbish Spanish, Google Translate on the phone had it sorted in minutes.
