Where should I setup a bank account in Geelong?

Answer this Question

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

"Expats considering retirement in Geelong should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, they should understand the cost of living, which can be higher than in other countries, and includes expenses such as housing, food, healthcare, and transportation. They should also research the Australian healthcare system, which is a mix of public and private providers, and understand their eligibility for services and potential costs. Understanding the visa requirements for living in Australia is crucial. There are specific visas for retirees, but they come with certain conditions and financial requirements. Expats should also be aware of the tax implications of moving to Australia, both in terms of income and any potential pension they may receive. Geelong has a temperate climate with warm summers and mild winters, which may be a consideration for those with health conditions affected by weather. The city is known for its high quality of life, with plenty of outdoor activities, cultural events, and a strong sense of community. English is the primary language spoken in Australia, so expats who are not fluent may want to consider language classes. Additionally, while Geelong is a welcoming city, like any location, it can take time to adjust to the local culture and customs. Finally, it's important to consider the distance from home and the impact this may have on family relationships and the ability to visit home. Australia is far from many countries, which can make regular visits challenging and expensive," wrote a member who made the move to Geelong, Australia.
