Close a Bank Account

This service is available across Spain

Who Is This Service For?

Many people find themselves in the situation where they need to close a foreign bank account - having left Spain. It's particularly beneficial for expatriates, foreign workers, students, or retirees who are relocating to another country, yet find it impossible to finalise the closure of the account from a foreign country. 

Also, there may be situations where a bank account of a deceased relative needs to be closed, and the funds transferred according to a Will in Spain.

Often, these clients face language barriers, bureaucratic complexities, and unfamiliar banking protocols that make the account closure process daunting. 

Our service simplifies this, ensuring a smooth, hassle-free closure of their bank accounts in Spain. By navigating through the complexities of Spanish banking regulations and procedures, we relieve our clients from the stress and confusion often associated with such processes, especially for those who are not fluent in Spanish or unfamiliar with local banking norms.

Who Is This Service For?

Requirements

To avail of this service, the client must be the legitimate holder of the bank account in Spain they wish to close. 

There are no specific nationality or age requirements; however, the client must be able to provide valid identification (such as a passport or resident ID) and account ownership documentation. 

If the client is not in Spain, a power of attorney might be necessary to facilitate the process on their behalf.
