The fee schedule, decoded
| Fee | What they take | The fine print |
|---|---|---|
| Account maintenance | €240/year | The Día a Día service package costs €60 per quarter unless you meet the program conditions: a domiciled salary of €600+, pension of €300+ or recurring income of €9,000+ per year, plus 3 direct debits, 3 card purchases per quarter, or your monthly self-employed Social Security contribution or professional taxes paid through CaixaBank. |
| Cards | €36/year | Annual fee for the Visa Debit card on the Día a Día account. Standard credit cards are covered by the service package; the debit card is billed separately. |
| ATM withdrawals | €0 at CaixaBank ATMs | Debit withdrawals at CaixaBank's own network, the largest in Spain, are free. At other banks' ATMs CaixaBank passes on 100% of the owner's surcharge. Credit withdrawals cost 4.50% with a €4 minimum anywhere. |
| Foreign exchange | +2.5% on exchange rate | Currency exchange margin over the market rate on non-SEPA foreign currency operations. Standard foreign currency transfers also cost 0.6% (min €15) with shared costs or 0.7% (min €27) if the sender pays all costs. |
| Overdraft | €40 claim fee | CaixaBank charges €40 for claiming debtor positions when your account goes into the red, plus a 0.20% opening fee on tacit overdrafts. The stated debtor interest rate on the Día a Día account is 0%. |
| Other charges | €2/operation | Surcharge for doing it at the counter: cash withdrawals, transfers or bill payments handled by a branch employee cost €2 extra per operation when a machine could have done it. Over-65s and minors are exempt. |
