  • Thanks very much to everyone for all the helpful replies, much appreciated and so much stuff I had been unaware of. Person in question is elderly and not very tech savvy but I think I can help with setting up whichever option he'd like to choose.
  • What about Metro Bank?

    Large company, biggest selling point is the customer service and that they have free ATM withdrawals in the whole of Europe.

    I think the OP was asking about the ATM owners applying fees, which seems a growing problem in Spain. There's a couple of other threads on that on this forum. I find it pays to shop around - I can usually find a machine that does not charge a fee for taking out in Euros with no DCC.
    .

    Before I went to Spain recently I looked through previous threads on ATM charges. Euronet,,Bankia and Banco March were mentioned as giving charge free withdrawals but from what I read later about Euronet it appears they do now charge and quite steeply!

    Your advice about shopping around is good advice,you can always abort the transaction if they mention charges. I found CaixaBank did not charge
