Even today you "just" need qualify for slightly premium accounts - top ~2% or so will qualify at some banks - to get a named contact person at the bank you can contact, but of course at that level they still have far too many accounts per person to actively manage anything.
- Ekaros 2y agoFor my local European bank the barrier doesn't even seem to be that high only 150 k€ loans or 50 k€ investments. Then again we are not that rich country. Not that the services will be any different at that level, but hey you have named person!
- pm215 2y agoMmm, I don't think that would be a sufficiently personal contact for anybody to seriously refer to that person as "my banker".
- vidarh 2y agoI mostly agree, with the exception that I think the users of those accounts are split between people signing up for the limited extra features, and people signing up because it makes them feel important, and I suspect at least a subset of the latter would love to refer to them as "their banker". It's probably not a very large subset, though. And yes, it's pretentious.
