Where should I setup a bank account in Schoelcher?

Answer this Question

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

"Expats considering retirement in Schoelcher, should be aware that the official language is French, so it would be beneficial to learn or have a basic understanding of the language. The cost of living can be high, especially when it comes to imported goods, due to its remote location. Healthcare in Martinique is of a high standard, but it's advisable to have comprehensive health insurance. The climate in Schoelcher, like the rest of Martinique, is tropical, with a wet and a dry season, and it is prone to hurricanes. The local culture is a blend of French and Caribbean influences, with a laid-back lifestyle. It's important to understand and respect local customs and traditions. Schoelcher is a safe city with a low crime rate, but like anywhere, it's important to take standard precautions. The city offers a variety of recreational activities, including beaches, hiking, and cultural events. Public transportation is available, but having a car can be more convenient for exploring the island. The process of buying property in Martinique can be complex for foreigners, so it's advisable to hire a local real estate agent or lawyer. Lastly, while Martinique is a part of France and therefore the EU, it's not part of the Schengen Area, so different visa rules may apply," commented one expat who made the move to Schoelcher, Martinique.
