How to find the right bank for you

Are you just starting your adult life? And do you think everything seems very overwhelming? There are so many things you have to consider, when you are going into adulthood. When you are a child you do not think about all the things that adults have to think about, so naturally it comes as a shock, when you suddenly become an adult and have to make all these choices about adult things. One of the choices you have to make is to choose which bank you want to have. This can seem overwhelming and you may be thinking, what do I know about banks? That is why we have made a guide on how to find the right bank and all the things you have to consider, when you are choosing a bank. You can also take the quiz on MyBanker that helps determine which bank is the best for you and your needs.

Where do you live?
The first thing to consider, when you are choosing a bank, is where you live. This is very important, since not all banks have a bank everywhere, and it would be annoying to choose a bank that does not even have a bank in the city or close to the city that you live in. Then you would have to drive a long way every time you have a meeting with your bank or have to do something in your bank. So the first thing you need to do is to research which bank your city has. The next thing you need to consider is whether you want a bank that is more local and has a more local focus. There are a lot of smaller banks that have local focus, and they only have banks in certain areas. You can also choose one of the bigger banks that have a more national focus. They will usually have banks all over the country. 

How do you live?
The next thing you have to consider is how you live, and how you want to live in the future. Some banks might be better for people who are renting, whereas other banks are better for people who have bought a property. Therefore, it is a very good idea to research which bank is best for you and how you live. However, you also need to consider how you want to live in the future. Maybe you are renting an apartment right now, but at some point you know that you would like to buy a house. Then it is a good idea to research which banks offer the best loans, when you would like to buy a house.

    Make your voice heard as an expat

    In my last op-ed, I made the case that we, expats living in Denmark, need to step up if we want to tackle the headaches that seem baked into expat life—e.g., counterintuitive laws and endless paperwork. With almost 16% of Denmark’s population made up of internationals, we actually have the numbers to influence real change. But after publishing the last op-ed, several readers contacted me and asked: Okay, but what can we actually do?
