Where should I setup a bank account in Speightstown?

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

"Expats considering retirement in Speightstown 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 is of a high standard, but private health insurance is recommended as public healthcare can be slow. The official language is English, making it easy for most expats to communicate. The climate is tropical with a wet season from June to November, and a dry season from December to May. Speightstown is a small, quiet town with a slower pace of life, which may be a significant change for those from bustling cities. The town is known for its beautiful beaches, historic sites, and local cuisine. Barbados has a relatively low crime rate, but like anywhere, it is advisable to take standard precautions to protect personal safety and belongings. The immigration process can be lengthy and requires several documents, including proof of income. Barbados has a special visa program, the Barbados Welcome Stamp, which allows international visitors to stay on the island while working remotely for up to a year. Driving is on the left side of the road, and an international driving permit is required. Public transportation is reliable and widely used. Finally, it's important to note that Barbados is a conservative country, and respect for local customs and traditions is expected," commented one expat who made the move to Speightstown, Barbados.
