Where should I setup a bank account in San Carlos?

Answer this Question

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

"San Carlos is a popular retirement destination for expats due to its tropical climate, beautiful beaches, and affordable cost of living. Before retiring in San Carlos, it's important to understand the local culture, language, and customs. Spanish is the official language, so learning some basic Spanish phrases can be beneficial. The cost of living in San Carlos is relatively low compared to many Western countries, but it's still important to budget carefully and understand the local economy. Healthcare in Panama is generally good, but it's advisable to secure a comprehensive health insurance plan. Panama uses the US dollar as its currency, which can make financial transitions easier for American retirees. The country has a friendly relationship with the US, and American retirees can apply for a Pensionado visa, which offers many benefits including discounts on entertainment, dining, and medical services. San Carlos has a warm, tropical climate with a rainy season from May to November. It's important to be prepared for this, as well as the potential for tropical storms or hurricanes. The local cuisine is a mix of traditional Panamanian food and international dishes. Seafood is particularly popular, given the town's coastal location. San Carlos is a small town, but it's close to larger cities like Coronado and Panama City, which offer more amenities and entertainment options. Public transportation is available, but many expats choose to buy a car for convenience. Finally, it's important to understand the legal requirements for retiring in Panama, including visa requirements, taxes, and property laws. It's advisable to consult with a local attorney or real estate agent to ensure all legal matters are handled correctly," said a member in San Carlos, Panama.
