Which is an Independent Bank in this area

[Elgin]

Solbank is a brand name of Banco Sabadell (in fact most branches are now called Sabadell).  Banco Sabadell is a large bank based in Cataluña which has taken over lots of smaller banks in recent years (including the likes of CAM bank, Lloyds Bank in Spain and even TSB in the UK).  When they take banks over they normally force the Sabadell Brand so CAM Bank became Sabadell CAM but any Sabadell customer can use them.  If your have a Key Account with Sabadell then you can use any Servired machine for free (you get charged and then they give you the money back once a quarter).

Like all banks they have their plusses and minusses but I have banked with them now for over 6 years.  One of the big advantages is that they produce all documentation in English, their online banking is available in English and are supposed to have English speaking staff in all branches.

Your question isn't clear but as far as I am aware there is no connection between the three banks you mention.  The fact that they have "caja" in their name is irrelevant as caja is short for caja de ahorros or savings bank - roughly similar to a UK building society. Caixa means the the same but is in Catalan / Valencian.

Unicaja is a Málaga based bank and Bancaja(or Bancaixa) is based in Valencia.  Cajamar or in full (Cajamar Caja Rural) was created through the merger of lots of savings banks and is therefore spread over a wider area and is part of the Grupo Cooperativo Cajamar which does include about 20 savings banks  these include:

Banco de Crédito Cooperativo (entidad cabecera), Cajamar Caja Rural, Caixa Rural Torrent, Caixa Rural de Vila-real, Caixaltea, Caixa Rural Burriana, Caixa Rural Nules, Caixacallosa, Caixapetrer, Caixaalqueries, Caixa Rural San Vicent Ferrer de Vall d'Uixó, Caja Rural de Cheste, Caixa Rural d'Alginet, Caja Rural de Villar, Caixaturís, Caixa Rural Vilavella, Caixa Albalat, Caixa Rural de Almenara, Caixa Rural Vilafamés y Caixa Rural Xilxes.
