Opening a bank account in Fuerteventura

A Spanish account makes island life a whole lot smoother — for your salary, the rent, the utilities and the taxman. The banks want a very specific set of documents, and the kind of account you can open hangs on your residence status.

Resident or non-resident: which account is yours

Hold a NIE and you are signed onto the padrón in Fuerteventura, and you can open a full resident account. No residence yet? You can still open a non-resident account with a certificado de no residente. We work out which one suits you and get the paperwork ready.

What the bank will ask you to bring

  • Your passport or ID
  • Your NIE number
  • Something proving where you live — your padrón certificate or a utility bill
  • Proof of your job or income situation
