Where should I setup a bank account in Split?

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

"Expats considering retirement in Split, should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, the cost of living in Split is generally lower than in many Western countries, but it's still important to have a clear financial plan. The local currency is the Croatian Kuna, not the Euro, and it's advisable to understand the exchange rates. Healthcare in Croatia is of a high standard, with both public and private options available. However, it's recommended to secure comprehensive health insurance to cover any potential medical costs. The official language is Croatian, and while English is commonly spoken in tourist areas and by younger generations, it's beneficial to learn some basic Croatian phrases. Croatia has a Mediterranean climate, with hot summers and mild winters, which can be a significant change for those from colder climates. Split is known for its rich history and culture, with numerous historical sites, festivals, and traditional cuisine. It's worth taking the time to understand and appreciate the local customs and traditions. The process of buying property in Croatia can be complex, and it's recommended to hire a local lawyer to assist with this. Croatia is part of the European Union, but not the Schengen Area, which can affect the visa requirements and residency rights of retirees from certain countries. Finally, it's important to note that the pace of life in Split is typically slower than in many Western countries, which can take some adjustment but can also contribute to a relaxed retirement lifestyle," wrote a member who made the move to Split, Croatia.
