Question
I’m moving back to the states next week and finishing up with stuff here. I closed my Sabadell bank account because they charged me (a lot) unless I made a deposit every month. Now I can’t figure out how to get my deposit back from my landlord in a few months. They said I need a bank account here.
Is there an online option I can keep after my TIE expires? I wouldn’t mind keeping the euros in an account until I go to Italy next march but don’t know what account I can do that without fees and with a TIE that will expire in January. Anyone has any ideas?
Answers
These are the answers of some Facebook group members:
“Revolut? It’s an online bank with a Spanish Iban and free international transfers. Perhaps they even offer Italian IBANs if you’re planning on moving there.”
“Get him to PayPal you or something similar”
“Revolut is fantastic, I use it daily but I know it’s not something everyone has”
“N26“
“Wise (used to be TransferWise) is great!”
