I'm not a bank. I'm a migrant like you.
Me llamo Ibrahin Gil. Llegué a España sin NIE, sin contrato, sin trabajo. Probé abrir cuenta en más de 15 bancos. Algunos me rechazaron. Otros me aceptaron.
Documenté cada proceso: qué funciona, qué no, qué te dicen vs. qué hacen realmente. Estas guías son el resultado de esa experiencia — no teoría, prueba real.
I don't work for any bank. I use affiliate codes (I explain how it works here). My commitment: if a bank stops accepting without NIE, I remove the guide that same day.

How This Site Works
This site is free because some banks pay me a commission if you sign up using my links. The cost to you is zero. I also include banks that DON'T pay me, to maintain impartiality.

I also show which banks I tested and DON'T recommend. BBVA: 8/10 rejections without NIE. Santander: always requires NIE.
