Where should I setup a bank account in Pecs?

Answer this Question

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

"Before retiring in Pecs, expats should know that the city is known for its rich history, cultural heritage, and vibrant arts scene. The cost of living in Pecs is generally lower than in many Western European countries, making it an attractive option for retirees. Expats should be aware that while many younger Hungarians speak English, older generations may not, so learning some basic Hungarian could be beneficial. Healthcare in Hungary is of a high standard, but expats should ensure they have comprehensive health insurance to cover any medical costs. Hungary has a continental climate with hot summers and cold winters, so expats should be prepared for this variation in weather. Pecs is a relatively safe city, but like anywhere, expats should take basic precautions to protect their personal safety and belongings. Hungary is part of the European Union, so expats from EU countries will find it relatively easy to retire in Pecs. However, those from outside the EU will need to apply for a residence permit. Expats should also be aware that Hungary has a double taxation agreement with many countries, which means they won't have to pay tax in two countries. The public transportation system in Pecs is reliable and affordable, making it easy to get around the city. Finally, expats should know that Pecs is a university town, which means it has a lively atmosphere and plenty of amenities, but it can also be busy and noisy at times," remarked another expat in Pecs, Hungary.
