Where should I setup a bank account in Holetown?

Answer this Question

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

"Expats considering retirement in Holetown should be aware that the cost of living can be high, with imported goods and groceries being particularly expensive. They should also know that the official language is English, making it easier for English-speaking expats to communicate and integrate. The healthcare system in Barbados is of a high standard, with both public and private facilities available, but it's recommended to have comprehensive health insurance. The climate is tropical, with warm temperatures year-round, but also with a rainy season from June to November. Expats should be aware that Barbados has a slower pace of life, which can be a significant change from a fast-paced city lifestyle. The local culture is friendly and welcoming, with a strong sense of community and numerous social events. Property prices can vary, with beachfront properties being the most expensive. It's also important to know that there are no restrictions on foreigners buying property in Barbados. The island is generally safe, but like anywhere, it's advisable to take standard precautions against petty crime. Barbados has a good infrastructure, with reliable utilities and internet, and a good road network, although traffic can be heavy at times. Finally, expats should understand the immigration process, which involves applying for a special entry permit if they wish to retire in Barbados. This permit allows them to live in Barbados indefinitely, but they must demonstrate that they have sufficient means to support themselves without working," said another expat in Holetown, Barbados.
