Where should I setup a bank account in Bishan?

Answer this Question

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

"Expats planning to retire in Bishan should be aware that the cost of living can be high, especially when it comes to housing and car ownership. They should also know that Singapore has a high standard of healthcare, but it can be expensive, so it's important to have comprehensive health insurance. Understanding the local culture and customs is crucial, as Singapore is a multicultural city with a mix of traditions and religions. English is widely spoken in Singapore, but learning some basic phrases in Mandarin or Malay could be beneficial. Singapore has a tropical climate, so expats should be prepared for hot and humid weather year-round. Bishan is a residential town located in the central region of Singapore, known for its green spaces like Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park, so it's ideal for those who enjoy outdoor activities. Public transportation in Singapore is efficient and reliable, making it easy to get around without a car. However, expats should be aware that strict laws and regulations are enforced in Singapore, including penalties for littering and chewing gum. Lastly, Singapore has a high standard of food safety, and Bishan offers a variety of dining options, from hawker centres to high-end restaurants," remarked another expat who made the move to Bishan, Singapore.
