Where should I setup a bank account in Somalia?
We asked expats in Somalia what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...
"Somalia is a country with a complex political and security situation, so it is important for expats to research the current situation before deciding to retire there. Expats should also be aware that the infrastructure in Somalia is limited, and that access to healthcare and other services may be difficult to find. Additionally, expats should be aware that the local currency, the Somali shilling, is not widely accepted outside of Somalia, so it is important to have access to other forms of currency. Finally, expats should be aware that the climate in Somalia is hot and dry, and that the country is prone to droughts and floods," said another expat in Somalia.
