I need a spanish IBAN!

[Oakgrove]

Yes. N26 however will only give you 1 choice of country, you cannot have‍ more than 1 country IBAN from them, unless you want to open a Business account⁠ with them.

Bunq's "base" IBAN is NL, and they give you the option to add:⁤ DE, ES, FR, IE. I hope one day they'll consider adding an IT IBAN. 😎

 

[daniels27]

Yes. they are pretty good, although not free.

 

[ilke]

Revolut, Bunq, and Openbank are probably the best choices.

Another option is Bitsa, which has‌ an ES IBAN and is also crypto-friendly. However, the compliance is very heavy.

Thanks a lot.

Account opened in 5 minutes, and I‍ think working. Very easy to open the account

All of them require residence in Spain. No chance without that. I need an ES IBAN‌ myself and I have not been successful for 5 years. bor&%#

 

[daniels27]

In this case use a brick and mortar bank. They must take you if⁠ you live in the EU.

[nobel]

I have an EU passport‍ but do not live in the EU. 🙄

In Spain, everyone does not adhere to the SEPA rule, and even credit cards are‌ rejected if they are not from Spain. I can't buy almost anything online from Spain‍ without a Spanish IBAN AND a Spanish credit card! It's crazy that even credit cards⁠ that are not from Spain are declined. I hate this because it's all illegal. 😡

 

[daniels27]

You are not in Spain but worried about not⁣ being able to pay there?

How about using your brother's address in France and then⁢ open the Spanish account?

 

[nobel]

Brother? I don't have any brothers or sisters. I'm often with friends⁠ in Spain and can never buy anything online except amazon.

 

[daniels27]

Ok. Then just‍ open the bank account when you are back there. You can use your friend's address⁠ or hotel.

Do you have any EU SIM card with phone number you keep?

 

[nobel]

It's not that simple. I've tried everything. See⁠ picture, even my EU passport was not accepted by the Spanish post office for a⁤ prepaid credit card with IBAN. LOL.

 

[daniels27]

Yes, but which country?

 

[nobel]

Germany

 

[daniels27]

Ok, then how about the openbank.de? Does this card also not work? You just need‌ a Germany phone nunber and then you are good.

 

[jcabezuelo]

You can get a Spanish IBAN only with passport in BBVA with very low fees.‌
You have to go in person to any BBVA bankoffice.
All explained here:

If you are a migrant you can try IKUALO: https://www.ikualo.com
You can open account with IBAN‍ and also get VISA debit card with only the passport online in 7 min.

Why not try this service:

The guy has been around for long time here, so far no complains!

 

[nobel]

German tax residence required. As you can see, it is hopeless. 😉

 

[nobel]

IKUALO does not have a Spanish IBAN, see small print.
BBVA will probably be like Bankinter. I went to the Bankinter branch but they wanted proof⁣ of income and tax return, neither of which I have.
