Where should I setup a bank account in Cancun?

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

"Expats considering retirement in Cancun should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, it's important to understand the cost of living, which is generally lower than in many Western countries, but can vary depending on lifestyle. It's also crucial to research healthcare options, as Mexico has both public and private healthcare systems, with the private system offering higher quality care but at a higher cost. Understanding the visa and residency requirements is another key step. Mexico offers a temporary resident visa for those who wish to stay in the country for more than six months but less than four years, and a permanent resident visa for those who wish to stay indefinitely. Both visas require proof of financial self-sufficiency. Expats should also be aware of the safety situation in Cancun. While the city is generally safe for tourists and expats, like any city, it has areas that are best avoided and it's important to stay informed about any safety advisories. Learning Spanish can greatly enhance your experience in Cancun, as while many locals speak English, particularly in the tourism industry, day-to-day life is largely conducted in Spanish. Finally, it's important to understand the cultural differences and be respectful of local customs and traditions. Mexican culture places a strong emphasis on family and social connections, and being open to these aspects of life in Cancun can greatly enrich your retirement experience," wrote a member who made the move to Cancun, Mexico.
