As a freelancer in Spain, there are lots of things to keep in mind when choosing your main business account. Making sure your bank doesn’t charge any fees for opening or managing your account, withdrawing cash, sending or receiving international transfers, or for foreign transactions are all important factors to consider. Plus, if you’re self-employed, you’ll need a bank account that allows you to pay your taxes
