Where should I setup a bank account in Levuka?

Answer this Question

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

"Levuka, is a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its rich history and colonial architecture. Before retiring there, expats should know that the cost of living is relatively low compared to many Western countries, but imported goods can be expensive. Healthcare facilities in Levuka are basic, so those with serious medical conditions may need to travel to Suva or overseas for treatment. The official language is English, so communication should not be a problem. However, understanding the local culture and customs is important for a smooth transition. Fijians are known for their hospitality and friendliness, but they also value respect for their traditions. The climate in Levuka is tropical, meaning it's warm year-round, but it also has a rainy season that can bring hurricanes. Expats should also be aware that while Levuka is beautiful and peaceful, it doesn't offer the same level of amenities or entertainment options as larger cities. Property ownership can be complex in Fiji, with land divided into three categories: native, freehold, and state. Foreigners can buy freehold land, but it's limited and more expensive. Lastly, while Fiji is generally safe, it's advisable to take standard precautions against petty crime. It's also worth noting that the internet connection can be slow and unreliable, which could be a factor for those who rely on it for communication or entertainment," wrote a member who made the move to Levuka, Fiji.
