"No. Went entirely local (Nordea) for primary accounts. Keep separate Citibank account, as well as separate Lloyds TSB account in the UK, from whence we moved. Move money around between these accounts and a SunTrust account in the US," commented one expat who made the move to Aalborg, Denmark.

"Expats considering retiring in Denmark should be aware that the cost of living is relatively high, and that the climate can be cold and wet. It is important to research the healthcare system and the availability of medical services in the area. Expats should also be aware of the language barrier, as Danish is the official language of the country. Additionally, it is important to research the tax system and the regulations for pensioners in Denmark. Finally, expats should be aware of the cultural differences between their home country and Denmark, and be prepared to adapt to the local customs," remarked another expat in Denmark.
