Where should I setup a bank account in Scarborough?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in Scarborough what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...

"Before retiring in Scarborough, expats should know that the official language is English, making it easier for those from English-speaking countries to communicate. The cost of living is relatively low compared to many Western countries, but it's important to have a clear understanding of your budget and financial situation. Healthcare facilities in Scarborough are adequate for routine check-ups and minor health issues, but for serious conditions, you may need to travel to the capital, Port of Spain. It's advisable to have a comprehensive health insurance plan that covers medical evacuation. The climate is tropical with a wet and dry season, so expats should be prepared for high temperatures and humidity. Hurricanes are also a risk between June and November. Scarborough is a small town, so while it offers a slower, relaxed pace of life, it may not provide the same level of entertainment or amenities as a larger city. However, it is known for its beautiful beaches and natural beauty. Safety can be a concern in some parts of Trinidad & Tobago, so it's important to research and choose your living area carefully. It's also recommended to take standard precautions to protect yourself and your property. The local cuisine is a blend of African, Indian, European and Middle Eastern influences, so be prepared for a culinary adventure. Finally, it's important to understand the local customs and traditions. Trinidadians & Tobagonians are known for their friendliness and hospitality, but it's always appreciated when expats make an effort to respect and adapt to the local culture," remarked another expat in Scarborough, Trinidad & Tobago.
