Where should I setup a bank account in Howth?

Answer this Question

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

"Before retiring in Howth, expats should know that the cost of living can be quite high, especially when it comes to housing. They should also be aware that the healthcare system in Ireland is a mix of public and private, and while everyone is entitled to public healthcare, private health insurance is also common. Expats should understand that the weather in Howth can be quite changeable, with a lot of rain throughout the year, and relatively mild temperatures. They should also be prepared for the slower pace of life in this small fishing village, which can be a big change from a bustling city. It's important to know that English is the main language spoken in Howth, but Irish (Gaelic) is also taught in schools and used in some official capacities. Expats should also be aware that Howth is a popular tourist destination, especially in the summer, which can make the village busier during these times. Before retiring in Howth, expats should visit first to make sure it suits their lifestyle and preferences. They should also consult with a financial advisor to understand the tax implications of retiring in Ireland. Finally, expats should know that while Howth is a small village, it is just a short train ride away from Dublin, providing easy access to all the amenities and services of a major city," remarked another expat who made the move to Howth, Ireland.
