Where should I setup a bank account in Gouda?

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

"Expats considering retirement in Gouda, should be aware that the cost of living can be high, especially when it comes to housing and healthcare. They should also know that the Netherlands has a high standard of healthcare, which is funded through a mandatory health insurance scheme. Expats should be prepared for the Dutch weather, which can be quite cold and rainy, especially in the winter months. They should also be aware that Dutch is the official language, and while many people speak English, it can be beneficial to learn some Dutch. Gouda is a small city, so expats should be prepared for a slower pace of life compared to larger cities. The city is known for its cheese, its historic city center, and its beautiful canals, which can provide plenty of leisure activities. Expats should also be aware that the Netherlands has a progressive tax system, so they should be prepared to potentially pay high taxes. However, the country also has a number of social services, including a state pension. Finally, expats should know that the Dutch people are generally very direct and straightforward, which can take some getting used to. They should also be prepared for the Dutch culture of consensus and compromise, which is reflected in many aspects of Dutch life, from politics to everyday interactions," wrote a member who made the move to Gouda, The Netherlands.
