Where should I setup a bank account in Oban?

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

"Expats considering retirement in Oban should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, the cost of living in Oban is relatively high compared to other parts of Scotland, so it's important to have a solid financial plan in place. The weather in Oban is typically mild, but it can be quite rainy, so it's advisable to invest in good quality rain gear. Oban is a small town, so while it offers peace and tranquility, it may not provide the same level of amenities and entertainment options as a larger city. However, it is known for its seafood, whisky distilleries, and beautiful landscapes, making it a great place for those who enjoy outdoor activities and fine dining. Healthcare in Scotland is generally of a high standard, and as a resident, you would have access to the National Health Service. However, it's worth considering private health insurance for more comprehensive coverage. Scotland has a different legal system to the rest of the UK, so it's important to understand the implications this may have on things like property ownership and inheritance. Finally, while English is the main language spoken, the local accent can be difficult to understand at first, and some residents also speak Scottish Gaelic. It might be helpful to learn a few basic phrases in Gaelic to help integrate into the local community," said a member in Oban, Scotland.
