Where should I setup a bank account in Moalboal?

Answer this Question

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

"Expats considering retirement in Moalboal, should be aware that the cost of living is significantly lower than in many Western countries, making it an attractive option for those on a fixed income. However, they should also be prepared for a slower pace of life and a different cultural environment. English is widely spoken in the Philippines, but learning some basic Cebuano phrases can be beneficial for daily interactions. The healthcare system in the Philippines is generally good, but it may not be up to the standards that some expats are used to. It's advisable to have comprehensive health insurance that covers medical evacuation, in case of serious illness or injury. The climate in Moalboal is tropical, with high temperatures and humidity year-round, and a rainy season from June to November. Expats should be prepared for this, and for the possibility of typhoons during the rainy season. The Philippines has a high crime rate, but Moalboal is generally considered safe. However, expats should still take basic precautions, such as not displaying wealth openly and avoiding risky areas at night. Expats should also be aware that the Philippines has strict laws on drug use, with severe penalties for those caught in possession of illegal substances. Finally, while the Philippines is known for its friendly and welcoming people, expats should make an effort to respect local customs and traditions, to integrate into the community and avoid causing offense," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Moalboal, Philippines.
