Re: CAJASOL - NEW IBAN NO. AND ACCOUNT NO.

Hi,

If anyone has a Cajasol mortgage for your Spanish property at La Hacienda, please note that I received a letter from Cajasol this weekend, with a brand new IBAN number and my account number has changed completely.  Please be careful if you are in the process of transferring money. 

Regards,

Debbie

Hi Debbie

I would feel a little inclined to check into this change further.

Its quite feasible - although not common - that the iban number could have changed - but its really strange that they have changed your account number.

Any bank accoun in Spain is comprised of 20 digits -

the first 4 being the actual bank - Santander, Halifax etc.

the 2nd set of 4 numbers identify the branch office - Marbella / Fuengirola etc

the 3 set - whch are just 2 digits - identifies what type of account you hold

then finally -

the remaining 8 digits are your individual account number.

Have they changed the whole sequence of numbers?

Did they give an explanation as to why?.

I'm really surprised at all of this-- if they sent the letter by ordinary post - you may never have recived it & not have known and could have been directing people to pay into the wrong account..

Or did they send it registered?

Kind Regards
