Best Banks in Ayamonte
We are with Barclays who have kindly cut back and shut their Ayamonte branch. We have all our direct debits and other payments setup with them and now we have no local branch to talk to.
Can anybody recommend a local bank who do not have high bank charges for transferring money in and out. We would also like them to move our current Barclays direct debits over automatically. Those with online banking and English speaking staff would be an advantage especially during the initial setup period:thumbup: |

They do have some English speaking staff. Others who bank there may advise you on their efficiency etc. Sol Bank has been recommended in the past. |

We have an account each one at Solbank which is a good account but not free. The other at Banco Popular which is a Club Senior account. This is for pensioners and requires a pension to be paid direct into the account.

Not collecting our pension yet, but time does fly. We are only using the account as a pass though and not holding much in there, so not too bother about the bank situation. Just after one with cheap monthly and transfer charges.

I can let you have the contact addres if that would help. I also have an account with the Banco Popular but they have relatively high charges although not as bad as Santander but with the utiltiies discount and free banking Barclays are still the cheapest that I have been able to find, so long as they remain in business of course! kind regards, Alaric |

I am not saying Barclays are expensive, in fact it was the perfect choice when they had the local Ayamonte branch. It's just that we need a local bank to pop into when we are over and don't want to have to go to Huevla. I know some of the other banks in the town can be expensive, so we are trying to find out which local ones are best for low charges and speaking a bit of English.
