Where should I setup a bank account in Coronado?

"Before retiring in Coronado, expats should be aware that Spanish is the official language, and while some locals may speak English, learning basic Spanish can greatly enhance daily life and integration into the community. The cost of living is generally lower than in many Western countries, but it's important to budget for expenses such as healthcare, housing, and utilities, which can vary depending on lifestyle choices. Coronado offers a tropical climate with a dry season and a rainy season, so expats should be prepared for hot, humid weather and occasional heavy rainfall. The area is known for its beautiful beaches, golf courses, and a growing community of retirees, which can provide a sense of camaraderie and social opportunities for newcomers. Healthcare in Panama is of good quality, especially in major cities, but expats should consider obtaining private health insurance to cover services that may not be available through the public system. It's also advisable to understand the visa requirements and residency options, such as the Pensionado visa, which offers benefits and discounts to retirees. Safety and security are important considerations, and while Coronado is generally considered safe, expats should take standard precautions and stay informed about local issues. The infrastructure in Coronado is well-developed, with access to amenities such as supermarkets, restaurants, and banks, but expats should be prepared for occasional power outages or water shortages. Lastly, it's beneficial for expats to engage with the local culture and customs, participate in community events, and be respectful of the Panamanian way of life to ensure a smooth transition to living in Coronado," explained one expat living in Coronado, Panama.
