Where should I setup a bank account in Belgium?

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

"1. Expats should research the cost of living in Belgium before retiring, as it can be quite expensive. 2. It is important to understand the Belgian tax system and the implications for expats. 3. Expats should also familiarize themselves with the healthcare system in Belgium, as it is different from other countries. 4. It is important to learn the language of the region you are retiring in, as this will make it easier to integrate into the local community. 5. Expats should also research the different types of visas available and the requirements for obtaining them. 6. It is also important to research the different types of retirement benefits available in Belgium, such as pensions and social security. 7. Expats should also consider the cultural differences between their home country and Belgium, as this can affect their experience of retirement," explained one expat living in Belgium.
