Another common question asked by our guests: Is it difficult to have a bank account in Costa Rica? The short answer: Yes, because of the US government!
The US government is trying more and more to put its nose into the ‘financial business’ of ex-pats living in Costa Rica. Though the banking system in Costa Rica is stable and secure, many banks here require references from bank account holders, etc., before allowing someone to open an account of any type.
In my tour, we will discuss bank accounts, how to open one, and how to keep your business, well, YOUR business!
