From my experience lower than all other banks. HSBC is really only useful if you want to do a lot of cross border transactions and have HSBC acounts in at least one other country. Just my opinion.

Bank.          Lower tier banking.    Upper tier banking

CIMB.        CIMB Prime.                CIMB Preferred
Maybank    Maybank Privilege.      Premier Wealth
HSBC.        HSBC Advance.            HSBC Premier
Citibank.    Citipriority.                  Citigold
UOB.          Wealth banking            Privilege banking

I don’t think it is available in their website or any public domain. The RM will have all the information. You tell him/her your preference and they will pick from their wide range for your consideration

For private bonds, they have not only local companies, but a lot of well known ones in different market and curriencies.

For structured products, the have many variances (eg. Autocall with memory effect step down monthly 1-2% and ranges from 20-50% ki ko in much wider industries selection and different risk return capital guaranteed or otherwise etc)

Also wide range of equity and financing private placement

Trust and insurance services which I have not heard of from my RM in Malaysia

And I must say I am only eligible to part of their offerings. I am sure those products in the hundreds of millions USD my RM don’t even bother to let me know 

I think bond is different from share broker.

As far as I know, bond is underwritten by a bank (or syndicated banks). So, a bond from a company may be available for us to buy from only those bank/syndicated banks which underwrites it.

Whereas once you open an account with a stock broker, you can buy all the counters in that market. So, for a broker, they offer same products for you to buy.

On the other hand, for bonds, not all banks offer each and every bonds in issue

That's why I said choices, range, risk return are important consideration for PB. If you go with a bank, during a certain period, they may not have the bond that suits you.

The bond market in priority banking is very quiet.

Banks are offering selective bonds based on their criteria. You might not be able to find one bank with good coverage of bonds.

After that, it also depends to RM who prefer to sell investment products with higher bank profits.

Personally, I found that the risk of bond is way higher compare to the interests of FD. Banks are offering >4% for FD for one year term. Bonds are offering 5-6%. I wonder does it worth to take the business risk of defaults with the additional gain of 1%.

I think the benefits of Priority Banking are:

1) Cut Q - its not super extraordinary or anything, but given a choice everyone would like it for free.

2) Higher interest rates - The most competitive interest rates are usually given to PB customers, be it FD Promo or PB account. Again, its something that everyone would like to have access if they can have it for free.

3) High level credit card - if you travel a lot, this can be very useful for you. Usually involves free lounges in airport, bonus points as compared to ordinary card etc. 
 
I think you shouldnt just leave money at the bank for the sake of attaining PB, but money is a good tool and option to have, in addition to the additional perks of being a PB.

For myself, while i am waiting for the right investment opportunity, i am much better off with access to PB rather than not. If i am stuck with ordinary accounts, I make less money on my money thats sitting in the bank anyways. And i have to Q during rush hours. While I see nothing wrong with Q-ing, I certainly wouldnt mind a free walkover to the counter either. 

So yeah, ultimately your financial goals should have no correlation upon attaining PB or no. If you can use the money right away for business, great. But not everyone wants to use the money right away. There are times where its a lot better to just wait on the sidelines for a good opportunity, and that usually involves a lot of patience and waiting.

But, if your financial goals happen to coincidentally work along with side of PB, theres no doubt you can make good use of it.

I have Maybank and CIMB at the moment, mostly after good short term FD/saving rates for now. Also i like the bonus of having their top credit card, they look awesome  =)

CIMB has the best FD rate in town at the moment, i am parking most of my funds there now. But Maybank is my "base" cos i have a lot of credit card tied to them, easier for card payment etc

Mind sharing the differences?
I think I qualify for hlbb but have declined their invitation few years back.
Rethinking of applying it and seeking forummers here whether it’s worth joining Hlbb priority?
