Where should I setup a bank account in Cardiff?
We asked expats in Cardiff what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...
"Yes, I had to open up a UK bank in order to pay for anything related to living expenses. It wasn't easy! The bank would didn't care how much money I had in my U.S. account, my credit rating, or even a personal note from my U.S. banker (which I had been told would help me get a UK bank account). The ONLY way I was able to open up an account was by having a UK friend co-sign for me. My circumstances was that I was an older student returning to do my Master's. I'm guessing any U.S. student will come up against the same problem. I can't speak for people who are being transferred over for a job. It may be easy for them," said another expat in Cardiff, UK.
"Before retiring in Cardiff, expats should be aware of the cost of living, which is slightly higher than the UK average. They should also research the local healthcare system and the availability of medical services. Additionally, expats should familiarize themselves with the local culture and customs, as well as the climate and weather conditions. It is also important to research the local job market and the availability of leisure activities. Finally, expats should consider the availability of public transportation and the cost of housing in the area," wrote a member who made the move to Cardiff, England.
