What is Banco de Espana?

In short

Spain's central bank, the authority that authorises and supervises banks and payment institutions there.

Banco de Espana is the central bank of Spain and the authority that authorises and supervises banks and payment institutions there. When a provider quotes a licence from this authority, it is telling you that the firm is regulated at home and must meet rules on how it holds customer money. ABANCA is listed as 2080 and Bit2Me as 6947. Check that the licence belongs to the company named in your account documents, since a group may own more than one licensed business.
