Where should I setup a bank account in Liege?

Answer this Question

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

"Expats considering retirement in Liege, should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, they should understand that the cost of living in Liege is relatively low compared to other European cities, but it's still higher than in many parts of the world. They should also be prepared for the city's climate, which is temperate with mild summers and cool winters. Knowledge of French is essential as it is the primary language spoken in Liege. Although English is widely spoken in Belgium, it is less common in Liege than in larger cities like Brussels. Therefore, learning French or improving existing language skills will be beneficial. Healthcare in Belgium is of a high standard, but expats should ensure they have adequate health insurance. The country has a mandatory health insurance scheme, and expats are required to join this scheme if they are resident in Belgium for more than three months. Expats should also be aware of the Belgian tax system. Belgium has a high tax rate, and this can significantly impact the income of retirees. It's advisable to seek advice from a tax professional before moving to Belgium. The public transportation system in Liege is efficient and reliable, making it easy to get around the city and travel to other parts of Belgium. Owning a car is not necessary for most people living in Liege. Finally, expats should understand that while Liege is a vibrant city with a rich history and culture, it is also a city with a slower pace of life. This can be a significant change for those used to living in fast-paced, bustling cities," remarked another expat in Liege, Belgium.
