Where should I setup a bank account in Queenstown?

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

"Before retiring in Queenstown, expats should know that it is one of the oldest and most historical districts in the country, offering a unique blend of old and new. They should be aware that the cost of living can be high, especially when it comes to housing and dining out. Expats should also understand that while English is widely spoken, the national language is Malay, and the main ethnic languages are Mandarin and Tamil. They should be prepared for the tropical climate, which is hot and humid year-round, with high rainfall. Expats should also know that Singapore has a high standard of healthcare, which is both public and private, but it can be expensive. They should be aware that Singapore has strict laws and penalties, including for littering and chewing gum. Expats should also understand that the city-state has a robust public transportation system, and owning a car is considered a luxury due to high costs. They should know that Singapore is a food paradise, with a wide variety of cuisines available at all price points. Lastly, expats should be aware that Singapore is a multicultural society with a mix of traditions and festivals, and respect for all cultures is important," said a member in Queenstown, Singapore.
