Where should I setup a bank account in Worthing?

Answer this Question

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

"Expats considering retirement in Worthing should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, the cost of living in Barbados is relatively high compared to other Caribbean islands, with imported goods and groceries being particularly expensive. However, local produce and seafood are generally affordable. Healthcare in Barbados is of a high standard, with a range of public and private facilities available. Expats should ensure they have comprehensive health insurance, as medical costs can be high. The official language is English, making it easy for English-speaking expats to communicate and integrate. The local Bajan dialect can be difficult to understand at first, but most locals also speak standard English. Barbados has a tropical climate with high temperatures and humidity throughout the year. It also lies in the hurricane belt, and while direct hits are rare, the island can experience heavy rain and winds during the hurricane season from June to November. The island is generally safe, but like anywhere, crime does exist. Expats are advised to take standard precautions such as locking doors and windows, not displaying wealth, and avoiding isolated areas at night. Barbados has a relaxed, laid-back lifestyle which many retirees enjoy. However, this can also translate into slower customer service and bureaucracy, which can be frustrating for those used to a faster pace. The island offers a range of recreational activities, from water sports to golf, as well as a vibrant local culture and cuisine. However, it's worth noting that Barbados is a small island and travel options are limited, which some may find restrictive. Finally, immigration regulations require expats to apply for a special entry permit to retire in Barbados. This requires proof of financial self-sufficiency, among other things. It's recommended to consult with an immigration lawyer to understand the process and requirements," said a member in Worthing, Barbados.
