Where should I setup a bank account in Grindavik?

Answer this Question

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

"Expats considering retirement in Grindavík, Iceland should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, the cost of living in Iceland is relatively high, with groceries, dining out, and utilities being more expensive than in many other countries. The weather in Grindavík is cold and windy, with long, dark winters and short, cool summers. The official language is Icelandic, but English is widely spoken, especially by younger generations. Healthcare in Iceland is of a high standard, but it's important to have comprehensive health insurance as medical costs can be high. The crime rate in Iceland is very low, making it a safe place to live. However, the isolation and small population of Grindavík may not suit everyone, particularly those used to living in larger, bustling cities. Icelandic people are known for their friendliness and hospitality, but it can take time to form close relationships. The pace of life in Grindavík is slow and relaxed, which can be a big adjustment for those used to a faster pace. Public transportation is limited in Grindavík, so having a car can be beneficial. However, the town is small and walkable, and most amenities are within easy reach. Finally, it's important to note that Iceland has a unique culture and way of life, and it can take time to adjust. It's recommended to visit Grindavík and spend some time there before deciding to retire in the town," wrote a member who made the move to Grindavik, Iceland.
