Where should I setup a bank account in Hastings?

Answer this Question

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

"Before retiring in Hastings, expats should know that the cost of living is relatively high compared to other Caribbean countries. They should also be aware that the official language is English, making it easier for English-speaking expats to communicate. Expats should know that Barbados has a tropical climate with wet and dry seasons, and Hastings is no exception. The healthcare system in Barbados is of a high standard, with both public and private healthcare options available. Expats should also be aware that Barbados has a relatively low crime rate, but like any other place, it is advisable to take standard precautions. It's important to know that Barbados has a slower pace of life, which can be a significant change for those used to a fast-paced lifestyle. Expats should also understand that while Barbados is a welcoming country, it can take time to fully integrate into the local community. Before moving, expats should research the visa requirements for Barbados. They should also be aware that the Barbadian Dollar is the local currency, but US dollars are widely accepted. Finally, expats should know that Barbados has a rich culture and history, with many festivals and events taking place throughout the year," remarked another expat who made the move to Hastings, Barbados.
