About Banque Chaabi du Maroc, Sucursal en España

Banque Chaabi du Maroc, Sucursal en España, is the Spanish branch of the Moroccan banking group BCP (Banque Populaire), operating under the Chaabi brand and focused on serving clients with financial ties to Morocco. The branch offers basic retail banking services such as current and savings accounts, SEPA transfers and direct debits, international transfers (including remittances to Morocco), foreign exchange between euro and Moroccan dirham, and debit cards; time deposits and financing products oriented toward property or projects in Morocco are typically available to residents in Spain subject to standard credit assessment. Account opening generally requires in-person onboarding with identification, proof of address and tax information (NIE/NIF), and additional documentation for compliance and source-of-funds checks; service is commonly provided in Spanish, French and Arabic. Digital banking is available for balances, statements, internal and SEPA transfers, and card management, though functionality and language support may differ from larger domestic Spanish banks; branch networks and ATM access are comparatively limited, and out-of-network cash withdrawals can incur fees depending on the card scheme used. Pricing follows a published tariff that usually includes account maintenance, card issuance/renewal, domestic and cross-border transfer fees, and foreign exchange margins for payments to Morocco; transfer delivery times depend on cut-off schedules and correspondent routes, with payments to the BCP network typically processed faster than standard international transfers. As a third-country bank branch, supervision in Spain applies to the branch’s activities, while consolidated oversight remains with the Moroccan home supervisor; deposit protection arrangements may differ from those of Spanish credit institutions, and customers should verify the applicable deposit guarantee coverage in the pre-contractual information before placing funds. The institution’s positioning suits customers who need routine euro account services in Spain together with frequent remittances or banking links to Morocco, but it may be less suitable for those seeking the broader product range, extensive ATM networks, or advanced digital features offered by large Spanish banks.
