About OneHappyFinance
OneHappyFinance was created to make financial information in Aruba clearer, more transparent, and easier to understand — for residents, expats, and anyone planning a future on the island.
Why we exist
Financial decisions in Aruba often come with uncertainty. Mortgages, insurance, and property structures are explained differently by banks, brokers, and agencies, making it hard to know what truly applies to your situation. OneHappyFinance exists to bring clarity. We translate complex financial topics into plain language, grounded in Aruba's laws and everyday reality.
Independent & informational
OneHappyFinance is an independent informational platform. We are not a bank, insurer, mortgage provider, or real estate agency. Our role is to help readers understand how things work, what options exist, and what questions to ask — without sales pressure or hidden agendas.
Built specifically for Aruba
We focus exclusively on Aruba. Our guides take local regulations, common practices, and real-life scenarios into account — from AZV health insurance and mandatory motor coverage to freehold versus lease land. Content is reviewed and updated to stay aligned with changes in the local market.
Who OneHappyFinance is for
Our content is written for residents, expats, returnees, and foreign buyers who want reliable, unbiased information before making important financial decisions. Guides are available in English and Dutch, with Papiamento planned.
Our direction
OneHappyFinance is being built step by step. The long-term vision is to grow into a central reference point for financial decisions in Aruba — covering property, insurance, and related topics — while remaining transparent, independent, and locally focused. If readers are ever connected with local professionals, this will always be disclosed clearly.
Clear information leads to better decisions.
