Where should I setup a bank account in Marsh Harbour?

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

"Expats considering retirement in Marsh Harbour, should be aware that the cost of living can be high, with imported goods and groceries being particularly expensive. They should also know that while English is the official language, the local dialect can sometimes be difficult to understand. Healthcare facilities in Marsh Harbour are limited, so expats with chronic health conditions may need to travel to Nassau or the United States for treatment. It's also important to note that hurricane season can be severe in the Bahamas, and Marsh Harbour was significantly damaged by Hurricane Dorian in 2019. Expats should be prepared for a slower pace of life in Marsh Harbour, as the local culture values relaxation and socializing. The local cuisine is seafood-based, with conch and crawfish being popular dishes. While the Bahamas does not levy a personal income tax, expats should be aware of other taxes such as property tax and import duties. They should also know that obtaining residency can be a lengthy process, requiring proof of financial independence and a clean criminal record. Finally, expats should be aware that while Marsh Harbour offers beautiful beaches and a warm climate, it lacks some of the amenities and entertainment options available in larger cities," commented one expat who made the move to Marsh Harbour, Bahamas.
