Santander 123 account
I see from publicity that the spanish santander 123 account still pays 3% interest. Does anyone know if that is available for a non resident bank account and does anyone have any experience of opening such an account at the branch on Plaza Espana in Nerja? IE can they speak English and what documentation is required. Also is there an automatic switching service such as we have in the UK, so i can seamlessly transfer from Unicaja to Santander all the direct debts etc.

Reading the pre contract conditions, it says it is open to residents and non residents providing you fulfil the criteria. I can not imagine the Nerja branch not having an English speaking person on the staff.

All I know is that we, residents, had one of these 123 accounts for about a week and then we closed it. Each of us had three cars which we were supposed to use so many times each week. One card for withdrawing money from the hole in the wall. One for regular shopping. One for credit shopping. So all together we had six cards each needing to be used so many times a week.
Er ... no.
Er ... no.

Oh, ok. Not for us as we're only out 5 months of the year and we'd never have that usage. In the Uk it just demands a couple of diect debits and a monthly deposit.

The OP can see on that site that it requires paychecks / deposits.
