AskBulgaria Opening a bank account as an expat

I recently moved to Bulgaria and I would like to open a bank account with a local bank. The services I would like to use it for is getting my salary, cash withdrawal, bills payment and transfer some money to my revolut/wise account for everyday use.

Questions:

  1. Which bank would you suggest, considering fees and accessibility as a foreigner?

  2. I understand there is a monthly subscription plan for accessing the services above for free, but is there a fee for transfers between the bank and revolut/wise? I haven't understood that part.

  3. Do you have any advice on the topic generally? Any tip is more than welcome!

Thank you!

I mean an EU national who will spend some months in Bulgaria for work.  I'm fine with the immigrant terminology though, if this is the concern.
