Where should I setup a bank account in Carriacou Island?

Answer this Question

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

"Carriacou Island is a beautiful and peaceful place to retire, but there are several things expats should know before making the move. Firstly, the cost of living can be higher than in other countries, especially for imported goods, due to the island's remote location. Secondly, healthcare facilities on the island are limited, so it's important to have a good health insurance plan that covers medical evacuation in case of serious illness or injury. Thirdly, while English is the official language, the local dialect can be difficult to understand at first, so it may be beneficial to learn some basic phrases. Fourthly, the island has a tropical climate with a rainy season from June to December, which can lead to hurricanes. Fifthly, the pace of life is slower than in many Western countries, which can be a big adjustment for some people. Sixthly, while the island is generally safe, petty crime can be an issue, so it's important to take basic safety precautions. Lastly, it's important to understand and respect the local culture and customs, which can be quite different from those in Western countries," remarked another expat who made the move to Carriacou Island, Grenada.
