The day of collection of pensions changes depending on the bank in which the payroll is domiciled, although the best known appear on this list.
The date of collection of pensions is from the 25th to the 28th of the month, as a general rule. There are banks that, since the last State of Alarm in March 2020, brought income forward a few days to improve the economic situation of retirees. In the month of April, the 25th is Sunday, so the entry would be the next business day.
What day are pensions charged this month? Although Social Security pays on the established dates, there are some banks that make the income earlier, so that the pensioner can start enjoying his payroll before the last week of the month.
Some examples are found in Banco Santander or CaixaBank, which, despite the merger with Bankia, maintains the payment of pensions on the 23rd of the month. If the retiree has a checking account in this entity, he should not worry about this union, which will not affect the payment of the retirement pension at all.
April is Friday, so there will be no problem finding payroll income.
What day does each bank pay the April pension?
The earliest risers make the entry of the payroll of the contributory retirement pension, as well as the non-contributory ones on the 23rd. The others keep the payment date established by the INSS, which is from the 25th to the 28th, with the exception that this month, the 25th is Sunday and the money would arrive on the 26th.
Santander Bank
Santander is one of the earliest in the payment of pensions. Specifically, since the extraordinary health alert situation began, he is admitted on the 23rd of the month. Whenever possible, this entity pays before holidays, so that the retiree has his payroll at hand as soon as possible.
Bankinter
Earlier than Santander, Bankinter pays the pension on the 22nd. The idea that the workers pursue is that the beneficiary can enjoy their money before the end of the month, being able to organize their financial situation as well.
CaixaBank
One of the banks in constant expansion in Spain, announced in a statement that it would maintain the payment of pensions on the 23rd throughout the year 2021. In this case, the income will reach retirees on the 23rd, Friday or the 26th, Monday .
Bankia
Bankia’s clients now also become CaixaBank’s clients. Therefore, those responsible for the entity ensure that they will begin to work based on the calendar of the Catalan bank. Therefore, the date of payment of pensions will be the same, that is, on the 23rd although in April it could reach certain users, on the 26th.
Cajamar
Cajamar pays before clients who have expressly requested an anticipated income. That is, the money will arrive in the account on the 25th instead of the 26th. This measure is highly demanded in cases where the payday falls on a Sunday, as it happens in April. Those who want to receive a pension a couple of days before can request it at the bank window, using the ATM or through online banking (web or App).
To avoid further problems, you do not have to perform this operation every month. It will be enough to mark at the time of sending the request that you want to keep in time, and the maximum term that Cajamar offers is 12 months, that is, one year.
Then, in the event that the pandemic continues to force you to maintain this payroll advance solution, you should consult with the director or managers of the branch where they have the account.
BBVA
It does not give the option of advancing the payment of pensions. The payroll will arrive within the deadlines set by Social Security: from the 25th to the 28th of the month. In April, on Monday the 26th. One of the characteristics of this bank is that normally, the dates of entry do not vary.
Unicaja
Unicaja clients receive the money on the 23rd. This is a very interactive entity, and receives many daily inquiries from clients through their email or WhatsApp options. Sometimes, the income of the pension payroll is advanced even one more day, and the user could find the surprise on the 22nd.
ING
Online banking complies with the calendar set by the INSS. Clients have a great online availability of any of the procedures. For this reason, the payment of pensions can always be consulted through electronic banking. In less than 5 minutes, the pensioner has access to the movements of any of his accounts.
Abanca
This bank pays pensions on April 26 as long as the client has an active debit card and does not make withdrawals at windows for amounts of less than 1,000 euros in the days prior to entry.
