Business account fees in Spain depend heavily on the provider and the plan. Traditional banks such as Santander, BBVA and CaixaBank typically charge an account maintenance fee that can be reduced when conditions such as a minimum balance or activity are met, plus fees for transfers, cards and cash handling. Neobanks such as Qonto, Revolut Business and Wise Business tend to use a monthly plan that bundles a number of transfers and cards, with charges above the allowance and for payments abroad. The cheapest option depends on how you actually use the account, so compare the fees that match your activity and confirm current terms with the provider. Figures here are as of 22 May 2026.

How business banking fees work in Spain

Fees on a Spanish business account usually break down into account maintenance, payments, cards, cash handling and currency conversion. The mix matters more than any single number, because a low headline price can hide charges for the things you do most. As of 22 May 2026, the practical split is between traditional banks that price around a maintenance fee and neobanks that price around a monthly plan.

Account maintenance and transfers

Traditional banks often charge a periodic account maintenance fee, sometimes called the comision de mantenimiento, which can be reduced or removed when conditions such as a minimum balance, card spend or direct debits are met. SEPA transfers in euros are commonly included up to a limit, then charged per transfer. Neobanks usually fold a number of transfers and cards into a monthly plan and charge above the allowance. Confirm the included amounts and the cost above them with the provider. As of 22 May 2026.

Cards, cash and payments abroad

Card issuance and extra cards can carry a fee, especially beyond the number a plan includes. Cash handling at a branch or machine can be charged, and many online providers limit or do not accept cash. Payments abroad add a currency conversion cost and sometimes an outgoing payment fee, which varies by provider and plan. If you bill or pay in foreign currencies, the conversion terms can matter more than the monthly price. As of 22 May 2026.

What to check before you compare

These points keep a fee comparison honest for a Spanish business account, as of 22 May 2026. Verify with the provider

  • The account maintenance fee and any conditions that reduce or remove it, set against the monthly plan price at a neobank.
  • The number of SEPA transfers and cards included, and the cost above the allowance, matched to how you actually use the account.
  • Cash handling rules and the currency conversion cost on payments abroad, since these can outweigh the headline price.

How to compare fees

  1. List the things you do most, such as transfers, cards, cash and payments abroad, and write down how many of each you expect in a month.
  2. Map those onto each provider plan, counting what is included and what is charged above the allowance.
  3. Compare the realistic monthly total, not the headline price, and confirm the current fees with the provider before applying.
