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 
Thanks 
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.

Priority Banking nothing much to shout about... benefits includes... 

1. Free coffee/tea and nice sofa while you do your banking and got free parking...
2. Personalized attention from RM, no need to queue at counter...
3. Free Airport Lounge.. some banks only
4. Better forex rate, free money transfer, better FD rate, investment options... etc
5. Priority credit card...

But the catch is you must have AUM of at minimum RM 200,000-RM 500.000 with the bank...  Nowadays priority banking not so exclusive anymore, almost anyone with reasonable (above average) earnings can qualify already...

better FD rate? i tot FD rate is fixed based on tenure and bnm?

OPR rate is fixed by BNM, FD rate is never fixed. Some banks gives higher FD rate to encourage people to join their priority banking. Look for more info at the FD thread.
