Where should I setup a bank account in English Harbour?

"English Harbour, Antigua and Barbuda, is a popular retirement destination for expats due to its beautiful beaches, warm climate, and friendly locals. Before retiring there, it's important to understand a few key things. Firstly, the cost of living can be high, especially if you plan to live in a beachfront property. While groceries and other essentials are reasonably priced, imported goods can be expensive. Healthcare in Antigua and Barbuda is of a good standard, but it's recommended to have comprehensive health insurance. The Mount St. John's Medical Centre is the main hospital on the island, but for serious medical conditions, you may need to be evacuated to a larger hospital in the United States or Europe. The official language is English, which makes it easier for English-speaking expats to communicate and integrate. However, the local dialect can sometimes be difficult to understand. The country has a tropical maritime climate, which means it's warm all year round. However, it's also prone to hurricanes between June and November. Property ownership for foreigners is possible in Antigua and Barbuda, but it requires a Non-Citizen's Land Holding License. This process can be lengthy and requires a lawyer. The crime rate in Antigua and Barbuda is relatively low, but petty crime like theft does occur. It's advisable to take standard precautions to protect your property. Public transportation is available but not always reliable. Many expats choose to buy or rent a car for convenience. Finally, while Antigua and Barbuda offer a relaxed lifestyle, it's important to respect local customs and traditions. The locals are generally friendly and welcoming, but it's always good to show respect and adapt to the local way of life," commented one expat who made the move to English Harbour, Antigua & Barbuda.
