* In order to determine the concept of "family unit" in its various forms, the provisions set forth in Article 82 of Act 35/2006 of 28 November on Personal Income Tax and partially amending the Corporation Tax, Non-Residents' Income Tax and Wealth Tax Acts shall apply, though for the purposes set forth in the aforementioned Royal Decree 164/2019, civil partnerships formed in accordance with the legal requirements that apply to them shall be dealt with in the same way as spouses who are not legally separated.

This report must be issued by the social services of the local authority where the applicant is registered.
The applicant shall be given written notice of the free Basic Payment Account's approval or denial at no charge within a maximum time limit of thirty days as from the date the documents containing the aforementioned information have been filed by the applicant. If said time limit elapses without Unicaja Banco having given the applicant notice thereof, the free basic account shall be deemed to have been approved.
Duration of the free Basic Payment Account
The free Basic Payment Account shall be maintained for a two-year period as from the date its approval comes into force, unless the institution is able to prove that the customer is no longer part of a vulnerable group or at risk of financial exclusion. The free Basic Payment Account shall be extended for successive two-year periods if it is proven within the time limits set forth that the situation of special vulnerability or risk of financial exclusion persists. If it has been impossible to obtain the information required from the customer or it turns out that any of the circumstances required are not met after the renewal of information application is filed, the customer shall lose entitlement to the free Basic Payment Account.
