Ask HN: What bank service are you using?
I'm an EU resident, but I welcome everybody to share their good and bad experiences that will surely be helpful for all of us.
My wages were not successfully paid in due to the bank not changing my account over to the international bank number, which had to be rectified.
The process cost me money for 12 days and made me incur an overdraft charge (Which Bankia, after several stern phone calls from the family solicitor agreed to pay back, plus a generous compensation packet totalling near 40 euros.)
I almost lost my home (and this was right before I was due to move back to the UK, so it would have been catastrophic) due to this.
This is by no means the typical Bankia experience, and I would still advocate the use of the bank, it is normally a fabulous one, but my experience in particular was terrible, and I shall be swapping to another bank (preferably Santander or a british one) prior to being paid again.
