Where should I setup a bank account in Perth?

Answer this Question

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

"Before retiring in Perth, expats should know that the cost of living is relatively low compared to other parts of the UK, but it is still higher than many other countries. They should also be aware that the healthcare system in Scotland is excellent and free at the point of use, but private health insurance is also available. Expats should understand that the weather in Perth can be quite cold and rainy, especially in the winter months. They should also be prepared for the shorter daylight hours in winter. It's important for expats to know that they will need a visa to live in Scotland if they are not from the UK or an EU country. The type of visa will depend on their circumstances, such as whether they have family in the UK or if they plan to work. Expats should also be aware that Scotland has its own legal system, separate from the rest of the UK. This means that some laws and regulations may be different than what they are used to. Before moving, expats should research the housing market in Perth. While it is generally cheaper than in larger cities like Edinburgh or Glasgow, prices can vary depending on the area. Finally, expats should know that the people of Perth are generally friendly and welcoming to newcomers. However, it may take some time to understand the local accent and slang," remarked another expat in Perth, Scotland.
