Going to Costa Rica. what bank to use
Hello everyone
I am new to this site and have some questions about banking in other countries. Should i open a bank account off shore or in some currency other than canadian money? If so, what bank and curreny?
I would use my canadian bank but the service fees for international transactions are outrageous.
Any thoughts or ideas will be greatly appreciated

Hi and welcome to BE.
I think you would be best asking about Canadian banking questions in our Canada Forum. This forum is for introductions only...therefore you will get more responses here...

Hello and welcome to the forum.
As you are going to Costa Rica (presumably from Canada?) I would maybe put a posting in the Central America section of the forum. I don't know how many folks from Costa Rica post on here but, you never know, might get an informed answer. You can follow this link below.

I am assuming that you are actually moving to Costa Rica?
