(1) Net incentive of €405, which is €500 gross, until January 31, 2027 for new clients who direct debit Social Security payments for a minimum amount of €50/month. You must maintain them for 24 months and sign the commitment to stay. Monetary movable capital yield subject to withholding tax. Not combinable with other income direct debit campaigns. The promotion will not apply to clients who have already had a salary, pension, or self-employed fee direct debited in Abanca at any time in the last 12 months. If you fail to meet the commitment requirement, you must reimburse us the proportional part of the gross incentive for the remaining months to reach the 24-month commitment.

The Cuenta Online Clara is a non-interest-bearing current account for new clients TIN 0%, APR: 0%, with no maintenance fee or conditions, calculated for a hypothetical daily positive balance over one year.

To open this account, you only need to be of legal age, live in Spain, and not be an ABANCA client. Once the account is opened, if you want to enjoy all the benefits, you must be up to date with your payments if you have any loan, credit, or any other product with ABANCA. Also, since this is an account for digital clients, you must carry out your usual operations through your app or online banking.

If we see that you go to our branches to carry out counter operations such as deposits or withdrawals of less than €600 (which you can do at some of our ATMs) or transfers and movements (which you can do for free from your app), for two consecutive months, your account will switch to the conditions of a regular current account, which does have administration and maintenance fees, and you would also have other fees on cards or transfers.

To make sure you don’t have to worry and to avoid this happening, we will notify you in advance. We recommend that you consult the FIPRE and the contract, where we also explain this. (2) The Visa Tú credit card will have no issuance fee during the first year. Afterwards, you can continue enjoying this credit card without paying a fee if you make annual purchases with it worth at least €3,000. The granting of this product is subject to the entity’s risk analysis.

In the account pack, you will also sign up for our Flat Rate Insurance, so if you ever take out insurance with ABANCA, you can pay it in 12 identical monthly installments, with no interest or fees (TIN 0%, APR 0%). Here’s an example of paying for insurance direct debited to your Flat Rate Insurance without considering the bonus. Suppose the annual premium amount for all insurance is €420, the amount you would have to pay in each of the twelve monthly installments would be €35. Therefore, the total amount owed would be €420. No fees, TIN 0% APR 0%. The granting of this product is subject to the entity’s risk analysis. Check the conditions of the Flat Rate Insurance at abanca.com/tpsCCGGView PDF file
