Where should I setup a bank account in Arnhem?

Answer this Question

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

"Expats considering retirement in Arnhem should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, the cost of living in Arnhem is relatively high, with expenses such as housing, groceries, and healthcare being more expensive than in many other countries. However, the quality of life is also high, with excellent healthcare, public transportation, and social services. The official language is Dutch, but English is widely spoken, especially in urban areas and by younger generations. It's still beneficial to learn some Dutch to help with integration and daily life. The Netherlands has a temperate maritime climate, with mild summers and cool winters. Arnhem, located in the eastern part of the country, experiences this type of climate, so expats should be prepared for this weather. The Netherlands has a high standard of healthcare, and all residents are required by law to have at least basic health insurance. Expats should ensure they are covered either through a local Dutch insurer or an international health insurance plan. Arnhem is a city rich in history and culture, with many museums, galleries, and historical sites. It's also surrounded by beautiful nature, including the Hoge Veluwe National Park. The Dutch are known for their directness in communication, which can sometimes be perceived as blunt or rude by foreigners. Understanding this aspect of the culture can help to avoid misunderstandings. The Netherlands has a comprehensive public transportation system, and Arnhem is no exception. Buses, trams, and trains are all common modes of transport, and many people also use bicycles for short trips. Finally, the Netherlands has a high tax rate, and this includes income tax, value-added tax (VAT), and property tax. Expats should familiarize themselves with the Dutch tax system and consider seeking advice from a financial advisor," said a member in Arnhem, The Netherlands.
