Where should I setup a bank account in Mandeville?

Answer this Question

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

"Before retiring in Mandeville, expats should know that the cost of living is relatively low compared to many Western countries, but it can vary depending on lifestyle choices. They should be aware that the official language is English, but Patois, a local dialect, is widely spoken. Expats should also know that Mandeville is one of the safer towns in Jamaica, but like anywhere, it is important to take precautions and be aware of your surroundings. Healthcare in Mandeville is decent with several hospitals and clinics available, but for serious medical conditions, it may be necessary to travel to Kingston or Montego Bay. Expats should also be aware that the climate in Mandeville is cooler and less humid than other parts of Jamaica due to its high altitude. They should know that the local currency is the Jamaican dollar, but US dollars are widely accepted. Expats should also understand that while Mandeville is a relatively small town, it has a vibrant community with a mix of local and international residents. They should be aware that the process of buying property can be complex and it's recommended to hire a local attorney to help navigate the process. Lastly, expats should know that while Jamaica is a beautiful country with a rich culture, it also has its challenges such as infrastructure issues and occasional power outages," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Mandeville, Jamaica.
