Where should I setup a bank account in Bukit Timah?

Answer this Question

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

"Bukit Timah is a prime residential area known for its high-end properties, lush greenery, and proximity to excellent schools and amenities. Before retiring in Bukit Timah, expats should be aware that the cost of living is relatively high compared to other parts of Singapore due to its upscale nature. Expats should also know that Singapore has strict laws and regulations, including those related to littering, smoking, and chewing gum, which are heavily enforced. Healthcare in Singapore is of a high standard, but it can be expensive, so it's advisable to have comprehensive health insurance. Singapore's climate is tropical, with high humidity and temperatures throughout the year, which may take some time to adjust to. Bukit Timah is well-connected to other parts of Singapore through public transportation, but owning a car can be costly due to high taxes and fees. English is one of the official languages in Singapore, making it easier for English-speaking expats to communicate and integrate. Singapore is a food paradise, and Bukit Timah is no exception, with a wide variety of local and international cuisines available. Expats should also be aware that Singapore has a high population density, which means that private spaces can be limited. Lastly, Singapore is a multicultural city with a mix of traditions and customs, and expats are expected to respect these cultural norms," remarked another expat who made the move to Bukit Timah, Singapore.
