Anyone with priority banking experience and wishes to share their experience? Apparently the turnover of RMs at Citibank's Citigold is very and there are too many customers while Stanchart's Priority Banking is too slow. Any comment? Some bank's RMs are very good and efficient too.
List of banks and their priority banking services as well as minimum balance requirements:

1. Maybank Premier Wealth - RM 250k

2. RHB Premier Banking - RM 200k

3. CIMB Preferred - RM 250k

4. Alliance Bank Privilege Banking - RM 300k

5. Public Bank Red Carpet Banking - RM 300k

6. Hong Leong Priority Banking - RM 300k

7. Affin Invikta - RM 200k

8. HSBC Premier - RM 300k

9. OCBC Premier Banking - RM 300k

10. UOB Privilege Banking - RM 500k

11. Standard Chartered Priority Banking - RM 350k

12. AlRajhi Affluent - RM 250k

13. AmSignature Priority Banking - RM200k

14. Rakyat Xclusive - RM300k

most of them require the funds to be placed in FD to ensure it won't drop below the minimum entry requirements. some provide complimentary World or Infinite Credit Cards as well.

Just saw this topic..

Anyway, i m StanChart's Priority Banking customer.. join them about one year ago. Yes, they provided me a free platinum mastercard but i rarely use it.

I wanted to join Citigold but there is no citibank in my city. However, i m considering to move my account to HSBC Premier but dont know how their services and what the benefits are.

Just want to ask, Stanchart offer you the priority banking?

My uncle is Citibank Citigold member, need to ask him about it.

I using CIMB Club, well..... they still new in the line. Service can give about 8 out of 10. Processing timeline quite poor (4 out of 10)

Yes they invited me to join... Actually everyone can join priority banking as long as you meet their requirement of certain fund available in the account, otherwise you have to pay the account service fee each month.

How much Citibank require for citigold membership? I have citigold access in Singapore but not Malaysia one.

i think is Free still need to maintain an amount from it. As I know, those priority banking are mostly push their investment fund the most.

I been to many bank still same effect, Sometimes you will feel not that comfort anymore. In-fact normal banking are much better than,

cause they not that product pushing.

my relationship member seldom push me products.... cos she know i dont like to listen. lol...

I enjoyed the priority banking environment, the lounge is cool and the best is... no need to queue~!

a cup of coffea please ~

but seem just your RM were diffirent. I exprience bad RM , alot of my customer also have.

yeah.. cos i know my current RM before i join the priority banking... so more and less he know my style...

what your customer banking with?

Dozz great so you can tell us how Stanchart Priority Banking is like. Is it very good? Personally I dont have any banking relationship with Stanchart aside from their cards.

Myself I have Maybank Private Banking, CIMB Club, RHB Infinity Banking, HSBC Premier and Public Bank Red Carpet. so far, im quite happy with them aside from the fact some of them are just too aggressive selling their products to me.

Added on November 21, 2007, 10:35 pmMy father got fed up with Citigold. His RM there keep changing. One year more than 3 times change ok. My father said when he joined they required 300k but recently his RM told him 200k can get you Citigold already. He discouraged me from having it because of that RM problem.

oh i see youre from sabah then. kk is not a small town anyway, perhaps citibank will have a branch there sooner or later. since you were mentioning about gifts, i must say through my experience local banks are more generous with gifts for their priority banking customers. maybank especially. every year for raya i get nice gifts from them. this year they sent me imported dates with praying mats in a nice box. last year was the wooden Quran stand with religious books. on birthdays they give nice presents too. the best was a designer tie i got few years ago. as for ladies it was designer scarf. the standard leather holders, desk clocks all these i think all banks also give. cimb club they give me kuih raya! hahaha and also a leather watch case to put display my watches. hsbc premier nothing much la presents wise. hehehe...

Added on November 22, 2007, 12:59 amhsbc premier is going through corporate rebranding at its malaysian branches through strages. the latest is menara milenium damansara heights. very impressive. posh and cozy. i opted for hsbc premier because its really convenient since i go abroad for business quite a bit. so when im in london, my hsbc account there is also premier account. its worldwide privilege.

Added on November 22, 2007, 1:03 ami would recommend hsbc premier actually. very professional and their investment products is among the best in town. thats because they have their own hsbc investments based in hong kong. all the funds and products are moderated by hsbc investments hong kong. ive had experience of getting a lump sum returns of more than 60% on my investments in a structured products by investing for 18 mths. not bad right. in addition, you're entitled to hsbc world mastercard which mind you, being a world mastercard, holds a higher distinction than platinum cards. even hsbc staff isnt aware of this. they always say its at par with the hsbc visa platinum but theyre wrong. World Mastercard is a rank higher than Platinum Mastercards.

I only have CIMB Club nia....

@mrcloud9

World Mastercard?? whats the different with the platinum mastercard??

I think higer class than platinum cards.

say, what is this priority banking? and someone above mentioned that you may qualify for credit card if you have certain amount of fund in the account. Is that true?

wat is the advantage of priority bankin? o.0

yes, world mastercard is higher than platinum mastercard. in malaysia only hsbc issues this card. it is just like how visa infinite is higher than visa platinum. rhb is the only card issuer in malaysia issuing visa infinite in msia.
