Where should I setup a bank account in Falmouth?

Answer this Question

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

"Expats considering retirement in Falmouth, Antigua and Barbuda should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, the cost of living can be high, particularly for imported goods, due to the island's remote location. The local currency is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar, but US dollars are also widely accepted. English is the official language, making it easier for English-speaking expats to communicate and integrate. The climate is tropical marine with little seasonal temperature variation, which can be a significant change for those used to four distinct seasons. Healthcare facilities in Antigua and Barbuda are adequate for routine health problems, but serious conditions may require evacuation to a country with more advanced medical facilities. Therefore, comprehensive health insurance is recommended. The crime rate is relatively low, but petty crime like theft can occur, so it's important to take standard precautions to protect personal belongings. The country has a relaxed, slow-paced lifestyle which can be a significant change for those used to a fast-paced urban environment. The process of buying property can be complex and requires government approval, so it's advisable to hire a local attorney to navigate the process. Finally, while the country is generally welcoming to foreigners, it's important to respect local customs and traditions to integrate smoothly into the community," remarked another expat who made the move to Falmouth, Antigua & Barbuda.
