Banks....
Right, I need some advice on banks guys.
I have a Natwest A/C, and an HSBC, which I am about to close for being such arses, we also have a Halifax A/C.
I have read a few times that a Nationwide A/C is a wise choice for an Anglo-Iberian A/C so what do you guys who are there or have on say?
Basically we want to open an account here that can be crossed over simply to Spain when we go.

I kept HSBC & an internet account in the UK, whilst using www.sun-pay.com to do transfers. It does cost me 10 euros whenever I do it, but I feel I have a bit more control as I'm doing it. Whereas I asked HSBC to transfer a sum direct to my bank account 10 days ago and haven't heard a squeak from them!
My Bank in Spain is SOL Bank. Easy to deal with and very friendly

Our Halifax A/C is a savings account, do you think that would make a difference?
