Resident vs non-resident accounts
If you hold a NIE and are registered in Bilbao you can open a full resident account. Without residence you can still open a non-resident account with a "certificado de no residente". We tell you which fits and prepare the paperwork.
Typical documents
- Passport or ID
- NIE number
- Proof of address (empadronamiento or utility bill)
- Proof of employment or income status
