Where should I setup a bank account in Ducos?

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

"Before retiring in Ducos, expats should know that the official language is French, so it would be beneficial to learn or have a basic understanding of the language. The cost of living can be high, especially when it comes to imported goods. Healthcare in Martinique is of a high standard, but it's advisable to have comprehensive health insurance. The climate is tropical, with a rainy and a dry season, and it is prone to hurricanes. The local currency is the Euro as Martinique is an overseas department of France. It's important to understand the local customs and traditions, which are a blend of French and Caribbean cultures. Expats should also be aware of the tax implications of retiring in Martinique, as France's tax laws apply. It's recommended to hire a financial advisor who is familiar with both your home country's tax laws and those in Martinique. Public transportation is available but having a car can be more convenient for getting around. Martinique is generally safe, but like anywhere, it's important to take standard precautions to protect yourself and your property. Finally, it's important to note that while Martinique is a beautiful place with a laid-back lifestyle, it may not offer the same level of amenities or entertainment as a larger city. Therefore, it's worth visiting first to see if the lifestyle suits you before making a permanent move," wrote a member who made the move to Ducos, Martinique.
