Where should I setup a bank account in Gyeongju?

Answer this Question

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

"Expats considering retirement in Gyeongju should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, it's important to understand that the cost of living in Gyeongju is relatively low compared to other major cities in Korea, but it's still higher than in many Western countries. Healthcare in Korea is of a high standard and affordable, but it's recommended to have a comprehensive health insurance plan. Gyeongju is a city rich in history and culture, offering many opportunities for exploration and learning. However, English is not widely spoken, so learning some basic Korean phrases would be beneficial. The climate in Gyeongju is temperate, with four distinct seasons, including a hot, humid summer and a cold winter. Korean cuisine is diverse and delicious, but it can be quite spicy and different from Western food, so it might take some time to adjust. Public transportation in Gyeongju is reliable and inexpensive, but driving can be challenging due to different road rules and heavy traffic. Korea has a high standard of living and is generally safe, but like any place, it's important to be aware of your surroundings and take basic safety precautions. Lastly, it's important to understand and respect Korean customs and traditions, as the society is quite hierarchical and places a strong emphasis on respect for elders," wrote a member who made the move to Gyeongju, Korea.
