Used to be very easy even after the 2008 financial crisis until the 1MBD issue blew up. Nowadays you’ll be asked a lot of questions and there are a lot of paperworks too.

Someone I know took 6 months to successfully open a HSBC USA account and that was 2 years ago. 4 months before the HSBC USA account was opened, he flew to US with his son who was about to start his uni life there and both him and his son managed to open a Bank of America account almost on the spot.

HSBC was under u.s DOJ supervision, very strict on kyc and compliance.

Which bank offer premier banking that allows opening bank account with their oversea branches?

Requirement? FD 200k?

Depends on which country you want. With Singapore CIMB and Maybank are the usual choices, expect no help at OCBC even if they are a Singapore bank and even you are priority.

Thailand, CIMB can also do.

High-yield bond default rates may double as companies struggle with a protracted economic downturn even as the Federal Reserve props up valuations, said Jeffrey Gundlach.

The investment grade corporate debt market has skewed toward lower quality BBB- rated debt, but if just 50% of that were to be downgraded it could fuel a near doubling of the high-yield market, Gundlach said Tuesday on a webcast for his firm’s flagship DoubleLine Total Return Bond Fund.

Hi folks that are familiar with HSBC Premier.

My understanding is that with Premier you can pretty much open a bank account in any country, by doing that will you also be able to place FD deposits in that overseas country?

Some countries have higher interest rates i.e. India around 7% and would be higher than Malaysia

No. Private banking is for real money usually above 1 mil AUM.

The advantage of a personal (and always the same) RM is so big. Can handle things by using WhatsApp instead of heading to the bank and stand in the line.

Likely mean Citi will either remove privilege offered or launch new tier/product.

The requirement is much lower the standard 100k AUM/TRB.
Perhaps wants to compete with HSBC Advance. The other thread mentioned that TRB is as low as 30k only.
