Where should I setup a bank account in Jaco?

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

"Before retiring in Jaco, expats should know that the cost of living is relatively low compared to many Western countries, but it is one of the higher ones within Central America. They should be aware that the official language is Spanish, and while English is spoken in many places, learning some basic Spanish can make daily life easier. Expats should understand that the healthcare system in Costa Rica is highly rated, with both public and private options available. However, it's important to secure health insurance, as private healthcare can be expensive. They should know that Jaco is a popular tourist destination, known for its surfing and nightlife, which can make it busier and more crowded than other Costa Rican towns. The weather in Jaco is tropical and humid, with a rainy season from May to November, and a dry season from December to April. Expats should be aware that while Jaco is generally safe, petty crime such as pickpocketing can occur, so it's important to take standard safety precautions. They should also know that the process of obtaining residency can be lengthy and requires various documents, so it's advisable to start this process well in advance of moving. Finally, expats should understand that while Costa Rica has a slower pace of life which many retirees enjoy, this can also mean that services and processes may take longer than they are used to," wrote a member who made the move to Jaco, Costa Rica.
