Bank closure

hi all,

i am also a customer with bankia.

Is the bank closing or is it just the branch in san javier?

if its just the branch you wouldnt have to change anything.

Hi,my name is Julian,I have olso the same bank witch is gona get closed soon ,but i'v been spoken with them and they said me account will be transferret to another branch in murcia without any complications,and don't need to show myself to the bank.

thanks.

There's a branch in Torre Pacheco with an ATM  closer to TLT & lots of easy parking. The staff speak english & are helpful so we have used them more than the San Javier branch.

Forget that last post, DH has just handed me a letter saying that branch is closing too.

Hi

I have received two letters from Bankia regarding the closure of my branch of Bankia in Torre Pacheco (4889) I have e mailed staff at the branch and todate got no reply.

Today I have posted a letter to Mr Pedro Luis Gomez Garcia, in Bankia Bank Paseo de la Castellana 189 28046 Madrid Spain ( He is the writer of letters telling of closures)

I will let you know when I get a reply.

Since we are not in Spain for several months can we deal withis change of contract/new branch via e mail or post?

Hi All

I was in spain on monday, i went to the bankia branch in caratgena, i was told there was no need to go to the branch.

It is only the branch shutting, they will inform you of where your new branch will be, there is no need to do anything.

Hope this helps.

Just a warning to all who are looking to change banks for what ever reason.  Make sure your latest utilities direct debits have been paid and ensure a new direct debit is set up in plenty of time for the next payment.  We know of people that have closed bank accounts and open up a new one and the Direct debits have been set up and paying the utilities when required, then suddenly they have had the meters removed and it transcribes the old bank was closed just as the direct debits were due and the new bank did not set up the payments in time.  Unlike the UK if a DD is returned un-paid they will not re-apply for payment 15 days later and they will not think 'we are getting paymants from a different bank account so collect the missed payment from that'.  If you have your meter removed you have to pay a re-connection charge and set up a new contract.  A world of pain.
