Where should I setup a bank account in Arima?

Answer this Question

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

"Before retiring in Arima, expats should know that the official language is English, so communication should not be a problem. They should also be aware that the cost of living is relatively low compared to many Western countries, but it can vary depending on lifestyle and location. Expats should understand that the healthcare system in Trinidad & Tobago is a mix of public and private providers. While the public healthcare is free, it can be crowded and have long wait times, so many expats opt for private healthcare. It's important to know that Arima is a bustling town with a rich history and vibrant culture. It is known for its lively festivals, such as the annual Borough Day and Carnival, which can be a fun but also overwhelming experience for newcomers. Expats should be aware of the crime rate in Trinidad & Tobago. While Arima is generally safe, crime can be an issue in some parts of the country, so it's important to take precautions and stay informed about local safety conditions. Understanding the local customs and etiquette is also crucial. Trinidad & Tobago is a diverse country with a mix of cultures, and respecting these traditions can help expats integrate into the community. Lastly, expats should know that the climate in Arima is tropical, with a wet and a dry season. It can be hot and humid, so it's important to be prepared for this type of weather," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Arima, Trinidad & Tobago.
