Banco Halifax Hispania launches ex-pats Xtra account

Banco Halifax Hispania has launched a new account aimed at helping British expatriates in Spain gain access to vital services in the English language.

The new Banco Halifax Hispania Xtra account provides information on a range of local, household and common services via an English speaking hotline.

In addition, a new Halifax 24-hour medical helpline will operate throughout the year meaning expatriates can speak to a medical consultant in English for advice on a range of conditions, including emergencies.

Ian Smith, head of European operations at Halifax, said: "Such services provided by the Banco Halifax Club not only overcome the language problem, but also provide reassurance to our customers during such times of difficulty.

"The Xtra Account clearly demonstrates our commitment to enhancing services for the customer and easing their life abroad."

Spain is Britain’s most popular destination for those who retire abroad and some towns and villages have almost become English speaking.

The new Xtra Account is a means to help resolve the "serious misunderstandings" experienced by Spanish services in dealings with British expatriates.
