Where should I setup a bank account in Eindhoven?

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

"Expats considering retirement in Eindhoven should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, the cost of living in Eindhoven is relatively high, with housing, healthcare, and daily expenses being more expensive than in many other countries. However, the quality of life is also high, with excellent healthcare, infrastructure, and social services. The Netherlands has a progressive tax system, which means that the more income you have, the more tax you pay. This includes income from pensions and investments. It's important to understand the tax implications before deciding to retire in Eindhoven. Healthcare in the Netherlands is of a high standard, but it is not free. Everyone is required by law to have at least basic health insurance, which covers common medical care such as GP visits and hospital treatment. Dental care and physiotherapy, for example, are not covered by the basic insurance and require additional coverage. The official language in Eindhoven is Dutch, but English is widely spoken. However, learning some Dutch can be beneficial for social interactions and integrating into the local community. The Netherlands has a temperate maritime climate, with mild summers and cool winters. The weather can be quite changeable, with rain possible throughout the year. Public transportation in Eindhoven is excellent, with a comprehensive network of buses and trains. However, like many Dutch cities, Eindhoven is very bicycle-friendly, and cycling is a common mode of transport. Eindhoven is known for its high-tech industry and design, and has a vibrant cultural scene with many museums, galleries, and events. It's also close to other European countries, making travel easy. Finally, it's important to understand the Dutch culture and way of life. The Dutch are known for their directness, which can sometimes be perceived as rudeness by foreigners. They also value punctuality and have a strong work-life balance. Understanding these cultural nuances can help expats feel more at home in Eindhoven," wrote a member who made the move to Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
