The Secret Banker's view

C. Hoare & Co charges £65 a month for each customer on a personal account, and nothing for customers under 30. I think that is the most civilised line in any tariff I read. Trusts, executorships and registered charities pay £50 a month each. It publishes no minimum and no entry test, so the vetting happens somewhere other than the website. The tariffs page calls the edition May 2026; the PDF's own footer says March.
