Where should I setup a bank account in Exuma?

Answer this Question

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

"Exuma is a beautiful place to retire, but there are several things expats should know before making the move. Firstly, the cost of living can be high, especially for imported goods, due to the island's remote location. Healthcare facilities are limited on the island, so it's important to have a good health insurance plan that covers medical evacuation in case of serious illness or injury. The official language is English, which makes it easier for expats from English-speaking countries to communicate. However, the local dialect can sometimes be difficult to understand. The climate is tropical and can be quite hot and humid, especially in the summer months. Hurricanes are also a risk, particularly between June and November. Exuma is a small community, so while it offers a peaceful and relaxed lifestyle, it may not provide the same level of entertainment or amenities as a larger city. The Bahamas has a residency program for retirees who can demonstrate financial independence, and property owners are eligible to apply for permanent residency. The crime rate is relatively low in Exuma compared to other parts of the Bahamas, but like anywhere, it's important to take basic safety precautions. Finally, while the natural beauty of Exuma is stunning, it's important to remember that island life can be challenging, with occasional power outages and limited resources. It's recommended to spend some time on the island before making a permanent move to ensure it's the right fit," said another expat in Exuma, Bahamas.
