If your deposit is above the threshold fixed by Maybank, you have access to the Private Wealth Management team and they can tailormade investment product to your needs. A little bit like the service offered by UBS in Singapore. Every now and then too, there are structured investments product exclusive to Private Banking clients.
Ah ... just like the xx% return for Russian Rubles Time Deposit which they offered only to the select wealthy few via several Private Banks back in 2008

Other perks include preferential rates and consideration for any financing facility (just like any other bank's priority banking). Half price for safe deposit and lots more. They don't bag the best Private Banking awards for no reason surely

Thanks

USA no UK yes.
A few people i know have also successfully opened HSBC Premier account in UK, Singapore and Hong Kong using only their local HSBC Premier account as reference. I wondered if anyone has done the same with HSBC USA ... Hopefully someone with such experience can shed a light.
