Where should I setup a bank account in Carlisle Bay?

Answer this Question

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

"Expats considering retirement in Carlisle Bay, Antigua and Barbuda should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, the cost of living can be high, particularly for imported goods, due to the island's remote location. Healthcare facilities are limited and may not offer the same standard of care as in more developed countries, so it's advisable to have a comprehensive health insurance plan. The official language is English, which can make the transition easier for English-speaking expats. The climate is tropical marine with little seasonal temperature variation, which can be a draw for those seeking a warm, beach-side retirement. The country's currency is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar, but US dollars are also widely accepted. It's important to understand the local banking and taxation systems, which may be different from your home country. Property rights for foreigners are protected by law, but it's recommended to hire a local attorney when buying property. The crime rate is relatively low, but like anywhere, it's important to take precautions and be aware of your surroundings. The local culture is laid-back and friendly, with a strong emphasis on community and family. It's worth taking the time to understand local customs and traditions. Finally, while the country is politically stable, it is prone to hurricanes, so it's important to have a plan in place for dealing with potential natural disasters," said a member in Carlisle Bay, Antigua & Barbuda.
