Where should I setup a bank account in Rodney Bay?

"Expats considering retirement in Rodney Bay should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, the cost of living can be high, especially for imported goods, due to the island's remote location. Healthcare facilities are available but may not be up to the standard of those in more developed countries. Expats should ensure they have comprehensive health insurance that covers medical evacuation if necessary. The official language is English, but the local dialect, Patois, is widely spoken. Learning some basic phrases can help with integration. The local currency is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar, but US dollars are also widely accepted. The climate is tropical with a wet season from June to November. Hurricanes can occur, so it's important to have a plan in place. The crime rate is relatively low, but petty crime like pickpocketing can occur, so it's important to take basic safety precautions. The immigration process can be complex and time-consuming. It's recommended to hire a local attorney to assist with the process. The culture is laid-back and friendly, but it's important to respect local customs and traditions. Finally, while there are many recreational activities available, such as boating, hiking, and exploring the local flora and fauna, the pace of life is slower than in many Western countries. This can be a positive or negative depending on personal preferences," said another expat in Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia.
