Lagos

Which banks do you use? If you have a local account, which bank do you use? How do you like it? Do you also have an account in your home country? Which bank? Do they charge for ATM withdrawals? Do they charge a lot for international wire transfers? How has it been working with them from abroad? Do you use a special international wire transfer service? Do you use an online bank? If so, tell us about them.

Before retiring in Lagos, expats should be aware of the cost of living, which is higher than in many other parts of the country. Additionally, expats should research the local healthcare system and ensure that they have access to the medical care they need. Expats should also familiarize themselves with the local culture and customs, as well as the Portuguese language, to ensure a smooth transition. Finally, expats should research the local housing market and find out what type of accommodation is available and what the rental costs are.
