      This is a service that makes all the arrangements for you to transfer your deposits and bills from another bank to your BBVA account. You can also request to transfer the balance and close the other account using a free and simple process in which you decide what you want to bring over.

      Once you open your free account, you can request the transfer of accounts from bbva.es, the mobile app or at a BBVA branch.

      • Enter the number of the account you want to transfer to BBVA and choose all the options you like: transfer your standing orders; transfer your recurring income and debits; close your other account by transferring the entire balance.
      • Specify the date on which you want the transfer to be made. Select a date such that any payment commitments and recurring deposits (salaries, pensions, etc.) will have time to reach the new account. 
      • The minimum period for completing the process is 15 business days after all the account holders sign the request.
      • The balance is transferred from the other bank on the date specified by the customer. It could take a few days for the amount to be deposited in the destination account.
      • The transfer process will commence when the request is signed by all the account holders.
      • Within 2 days, BBVA will ask your other bank for the details needed to transfer the account.
      • Your other bank will have a maximum of 5 days to accept it and send us the information requested.
      • Once the information is received, BBVA will have 5 days to set up the standing orders from your old account into your new account and notify the payment issuers of the new account.
      • Your other bank will take care of closing the account and transferring the balance to your BBVA account on the date you specify in the request.

      We keep you informed of how the process is progressing and, if necessary, we will ask you for additional information through notifications in the My Mailbox section of the website and the mobile app, and also by email.

      The Bank Transfer Service is completely free and has no charges or fees.

      • You will need to have a payment account for individuals with BBVA. Keep in mind that corporate accounts and those intended for commercial or professional activities are excluded.
      • The account holders of the recipient and source account must be the same and the transfer application must be signed by each and every one. The other bank may refuse the transfer if the general conditions of the service are not fulfilled. It is also possible that balance transfers may be denied when the source account has direct debit payment commitments.
      • On the transfer request form, you have to specify what information you want BBVA to request from your other bank and what it will be used for. And if you want, you will receive a copy of the information that is exchanged between the banks.
      • If you want to close your previous account, you will have to return any cards, checks, passbooks, etc. that are in your possession to the original bank.
      • A balance transfer will result in the original account being closed. Partial transfers will not be accepted. It's free and it is started by the source bank on the date you specify.  It may take a few days for your account to be credited
      • Any transfer you make between the source account and the destination account outside the transfer process may entail a fee.
      • You have to keep a sufficient balance in the old account until the transfer is complete.

      To manage the account transfer procedure, BBVA will do the following:

      • Ask your other bank for the information necessary to manage and process your request to transfer the account to BBVA. 
      • Set up any permanent transfer orders that you want in your new BBVA account, starting from the date you state in your request (your other bank will be responsible for cancelling these same orders in your previous account).
      • If you wish, BBVA will notify your payers and issuers of your direct debits (bills) of the account change. The account change will be processed by your payers and issuers.
      • Manage with the Social Security the change of pension account of the general regime (temporarily only available in applications made at a Branch). BBVA sends your application to the General Treasury of the Social Security (TGSS) and will inform you if it is accepted or rejected. The TGSS will also manage the change of the pension account you have in your name.
      • To ensure that no charge is returned, BBVA will accept direct debits (bills) and incoming transfers from the date specified in your application (your other bank will no longer accept them).

      CHANGE UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT
      In these cases, BBVA cannot intervene, since the government requires the recipient to personally process any changes to the direct deposit account through the SEPE. In the transfer process, we will provide you with the options available to contact and request the change of account.
      CHANGE NON-CONTRIBUTORY PENSIONS OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY OR OTHER BODIES
      If you receive non-contributory pensions issued by the General Treasury of the Social Security or pensions issued by other bodies such as Muface, Mugeju, Isfas, etc.; you will need to contact the corresponding body in-person to communicate the change of account.
      ISSUERS OF BILLS OR TAXES

      There are entities, companies and agencies that issue direct debits, such as the Tax Agency and some municipalities, that only allow the account holder to be the one to report a change in accounts. In addition, in the case of municipalities, changes to direct debited tax payments (property tax, waste collection tax, etc.) are not allowed in the 2 months prior to the voluntary payment period. 

      Keep these cases in mind when choosing the date to execute the transfer. And make sure you keep a balance in both accounts, the old one and the BBVA account, so you can make any payments until the account is transferred.

      TRANSFERRING THE BALANCE AND CLOSING THE ACCOUNT
      BBVA will inform the other bank of your request to transfer the balance and close the account. The other bank is responsible for transferring the balance to the BBVA account and closing the account on the date you specified in the request.

      The transfer of accounts between banks in Spain takes at least 15 business days from the application date (this includes the period for every account holder to sign). If you wish, you can also request that it be done over a longer period of time.

      Keep in mind what type of operation you are going to transfer, because it could affect the transfer times. Our general recommendation is that you select 1 month from the current date.

      Some deposits, such as a pension or paycheck, can take up to 2 months to change accounts.

      If you would rather handle the change in direct deposits of your income and the direct debits of your bills yourself, we will provide you two letter templates to use, so you can inform both the payers and issuers of your bills of the change in accounts.

      BBVA will send the account change request on your behalf.

      Both payers and payees will be responsible for changing the direct deposit/debit accounts.

      If you choose the "bring income" or "bring bills" option, you can choose which income and direct debits (bills) you wish to bring to BBVA.

      However, if you choose the "bring your entire account" option, we have to bring all the deposits, direct debits (bills) and periodic transfers associated with that account.

      No, because your new BBVA account will have its own number. But this won't be a problem, because we'll let the payers and issuers of your bills know your new account number.

      • The account transfer service provides assistance to a customer who wishes to open a payment account with another payment service provider located in another Member State of the European Union.
      • The request is made through a form (see attached sample form), in which the account to be transferred and the destination account must be identified.
      • The transfer request must be signed by all the account holders.
      • These requests can only be started in a branch.
      • In this case, the source bank will provide a list of the standing transfer orders in force, the debits and the regular transfers incoming to the customer's payment account in the preceding thirteen months.
      • The delivery time for this information is 6 days.
      • The customer can request the cancellation of the source account and the transfer of the remaining balance to the destination account.
