Where should I setup a bank account in Long Island?

Answer this Question

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

"Before retiring in Long Island, expats should know that the cost of living is relatively high, especially when it comes to imported goods and groceries. They should also be aware that healthcare facilities are limited, with only a few clinics available on the island, and serious medical conditions often require evacuation to Nassau or the United States. Expats should understand that the pace of life is slower in the Bahamas, which can be a significant adjustment. They should also be prepared for the tropical climate, which includes hot and humid weather, as well as hurricane season. It's important to know that while English is the official language, the local dialect can sometimes be difficult to understand. Expats should also be aware that the Bahamas has its own currency, the Bahamian dollar, which is pegged to the US dollar. Before moving, expats should research and understand the immigration process, which includes obtaining a residence permit. They should also be aware that property prices can be high, especially for beachfront properties. Finally, expats should know that while Long Island is known for its natural beauty and friendly community, it offers limited entertainment and shopping options, which may require trips to Nassau or other larger islands," remarked another expat who made the move to Long Island, Bahamas.
