Opening Times

Banks are generally open Mon-Fri, 9.00 - 14.00 and Sat 9.00 - 13.00. In summer they may close slightly earlier.

Charges

You can find a list of bank charges on most bank websites - some websites have a non-residents section in English, although most of the pages that deal with charges are in Spanish. To translate a web-page into English using Internet Explorer, right-click anywhere on the page and select 'translate to English' from the options.
