Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, banks often ask for additional verification (e.g., ID, security code) before revealing account details. Always keep your personal data secure and never share your account number in public places. Formal address (usted) is preferred when speaking with bank staff unless you have an established relationship.
