Where should I setup a bank account in Causeway Bay?

Answer this Question

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

"Expats considering retirement in Causeway Bay should be aware that the cost of living is quite high, with housing being particularly expensive. They should also know that the healthcare system in Hong Kong is excellent, with a mix of public and private hospitals. English is widely spoken in Hong Kong, but learning some Cantonese could be beneficial for daily interactions. The city is known for its safety and low crime rates, but it's still important to take standard precautions. Causeway Bay is a bustling area with a lot of shopping and dining options, so it's perfect for those who enjoy a vibrant city life. However, it can be crowded and noisy, which might not be ideal for everyone. Hong Kong's climate is subtropical, with hot, humid summers and mild, dry winters. Air pollution can be a concern, especially for those with respiratory issues. Public transportation in Hong Kong is efficient and reliable, making it easy to get around the city. However, driving can be challenging due to the heavy traffic and complex road system. Hong Kong has a high population density, so apartments are typically small. Expats should be prepared for less living space than they might be used to. Finally, Hong Kong's tax system is relatively simple and straightforward, with low rates compared to many Western countries. However, it's advisable to consult with a tax professional to understand the implications for your personal situation," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Causeway Bay, Hong Kong.
