Bancaja in Moraira, Spain: Doesn't Exist — Merged into Bankia
There is no Bancaja branch in Moraira—or anywhere.
What Happened
- Bancaja (Caja de Ahorros de Valencia, Castellón y Alicante) was a Spanish savings bank
- 2010: Merged with six other cajas → Bankia (SIP: Sistema Institucional de Protección)
- 2012: Bankia nationalized (€22.4B bailout)
- 2021: Bankia merged into CaixaBank — brand retired
Sort Code Implications
- Spanish banks don't use "sort codes" — they use IBAN (ES + 22 chars) and BIC/SWIFT
- Former Bancaja accounts migrated to Bankia → CaixaBank IBANs
- If you have old Bancaja paperwork: Contact CaixaBank with account holder name/DNI
