Good to know about CaixaBank: Unlike some other banks, CaixaBank doesn't let you close an account through the app or by phone: you need to go to a branch in person with your ID, or alternatively send a certified letter, and always request the cancellation certificate before you leave — that's your proof the account no longer exists. If your usual branch isn't convenient, you can first request a transfer to a different branch via the app (Gestor > Cita Previa) and close the account there instead. Before you go, bring the balance to zero, cancel linked direct debits and cards, and move your payroll elsewhere, since an empty account left formally open can keep generating fees. Closing itself is free as long as you have no products still under a commitment period, but if CaixaBank charges you an improper fee after closing, you can complain to the bank first and then escalate to Banco de España.

De conformidad con el artículo 32 del Real Decreto-ley 19/2018, de 23 de noviembre, de servicios de pago, ejercito mi derecho a resolver el contrato marco de esta cuenta sin necesidad de preaviso y sin coste, salvo que se trate de una cuenta abierta hace menos de seis meses, en cuyo caso cualquier gasto aplicable deberá ser proporcional a los costes reales de la entidad. Solicito que se me confirme por escrito la fecha efectiva del cierre, así como si tengo tarjetas u otros productos vinculados a la cuenta que deban cancelarse de forma independiente.

La presente comunicación es fehaciente y suficiente por sí misma para surtir plenos efectos, sin que su validez quede condicionada a ninguna confirmación telefónica. Solicito que toda gestión relativa a esta solicitud se realice exclusivamente por escrito (correo postal o electrónico) y no autorizo llamadas comerciales ni de retención. La eventual falta de respuesta telefónica por mi parte no suspenderá ni dejará sin efecto esta solicitud.

La presente comunicación se remite de forma fehaciente, con acuse de recibo y constancia de su contenido y fecha, a efectos probatorios. Quedo a la espera de su confirmación por escrito.

Atentamente,

Frequently asked questions

How do I cancel CaixaBank in Spain?

Write a formal cancellation request with your details, your customer number and the effective date, and send it to CaixaBank by a means that creates proof (burofax, certified mail or the official cancellations channel). Our generator drafts the letter for you in under 2 minutes — you can download it free as a PDF.

Do I need to speak Spanish to use this?

No. You fill in the form in English; the letter itself is generated in formal Spanish — which is what CaixaBank expects and what works legally in Spain. You see a live preview and can download the PDF for free.

Can the bank charge me for closing my account?

Not for the closure itself. It may settle maintenance fees accrued up to the closing date, proportionally. Charges applied after a written closure request give you solid grounds to claim them back.

What is a burofax and why does it matter in Spain?

A burofax is Spain's standard method for legally reliable communications — roughly the equivalent of certified mail with proof of content. It proves you sent the letter and, with acknowledgment of receipt, that it was delivered. Spanish companies take it seriously.
