Where should I setup a bank account in Sainte-Luce?

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

"Before retiring in Sainte-Luce, expats should know that the official language is French, so it would be beneficial to learn the language or at least basic phrases. The cost of living can be high, especially for imported goods, due to its remote location. Healthcare is of a high standard, but it's recommended to have comprehensive health insurance. The climate is tropical, with a rainy season from June to October and a dry season from November to May. The island is prone to hurricanes, so it's important to be prepared for this. The local currency is the Euro, as Martinique is an overseas department of France. It's important to understand the tax laws, both in Martinique and your home country, as you may be liable to pay tax in both. The culture is a blend of French and Caribbean influences, with a laid-back lifestyle. The local cuisine is a mix of French, African, and Indian influences, with seafood being a staple. Public transportation is not very reliable, so having a car is almost essential. Driving is on the right side of the road. The crime rate is relatively low, but like anywhere, it's important to take precautions to protect your personal safety and belongings. Finally, it's important to have all your paperwork in order, including a valid passport, visa if necessary, and any other required documents for living abroad," explained one expat living in Sainte-Luce, Martinique.
