Where should I setup a bank account in Dundee?

Answer this Question

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

"Before retiring in Dundee, expats should know that the cost of living is relatively low compared to other UK cities, making it an affordable place to retire. The city is known for its friendly locals, rich history, and vibrant arts scene, offering plenty of opportunities for socializing and cultural enrichment. Expats should be aware that the weather in Dundee can be quite cold and rainy, especially in the winter months. However, Dundee is also one of the sunniest cities in Scotland, so there are plenty of bright days as well. Healthcare in Scotland is managed by the National Health Service (NHS), which provides free healthcare to all residents. Expats retiring in Dundee will need to register with a local GP to access these services. Dundee is a compact city, making it easy to get around on foot or by public transport. However, if you plan to explore the wider region, owning a car might be beneficial. Scotland has a different legal system to the rest of the UK, so it's important to understand the specifics of Scottish law, particularly in relation to property and inheritance. The official language is English, but you may encounter some local dialects and accents that could take some getting used to. Dundee has a lower crime rate than other major UK cities, but like anywhere, it's important to take common-sense precautions to protect your personal safety and belongings. Finally, expats should be aware that Scotland has its own unique customs and traditions. Taking the time to understand these will help you integrate more easily into local life," commented one expat who made the move to Dundee, Scotland.
