Where should I setup a bank account in Sarteneja?

Answer this Question

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

"Before retiring in Sarteneja, expats should know that the official language is English, but Spanish and Creole are also widely spoken. The cost of living is relatively low compared to many Western countries, but it's important to budget for unexpected expenses. Healthcare facilities are limited in Sarteneja, so expats may need to travel to larger cities for certain medical treatments. The climate is tropical, with a wet and dry season, and can be quite hot and humid. Expats should also be aware that Belize has a slower pace of life, which can be a significant adjustment. The local cuisine is a mix of Caribbean, Mexican, and Mayan influences, with a heavy emphasis on seafood and fresh fruits. Sarteneja is a small fishing village, so it's perfect for those who enjoy a quiet, laid-back lifestyle. However, it may not offer the same level of amenities or entertainment as larger cities. The village is known for its wildlife, particularly birds and marine life, making it a great place for nature lovers. Belize uses the Belize Dollar, which is pegged to the US dollar. Expats should also know that while Belize is generally safe, like any other place, it has its share of crime, and it's important to take standard safety precautions. Lastly, Belize has a retiree program called the Qualified Retired Persons (QRP) Program, which offers certain benefits to retirees, such as duty-free imports of household goods. However, to qualify, you must be at least 45 years old and meet certain income requirements," said a member in Sarteneja, Belize.
