Can anyone advise regarding savings in a Spanish bank, what sort of interest rates are available etc.or would we be better off leaving the money in the UK? _______________________ If you're going through hell keep on going, you might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

Many people report on forums who have done this with Nationwide, Lloyds are two that I remember being discussed. Some people even have their pensions paid in there and draw out from the atm's in Spain. Spam post? If so please click here to report it

The Marketing agent who has taken alot of monies was not supposed to hand over deposits to the developer until licence was granted. This has not happened yet they have given the money to the developer but stated its in a joint bonded account? Ocean View Properties despite many request from myself /other purchasers and solicitors will not tell us the name of the bank the money has been deposited in. Regards James Spam post?

We have a current account with Barclays so naturally thought we would open a savings account too. We went through the trials and tribulations and found an indtant access one with a €1 minimum ans 3.75% which was fine for us. We now find that we can only receive "new" money into this account. i.e. Money that has come from a bank other than Barclays. How stupid is that? The idea was to send over 6 months monies and transfer what wasn't needed into the savings until needed, then transfer back. We are now looking at the Halifax account.
