The Secret Banker's view

NatWest Premier is a banking tier, not a private bank, and publishes its entry tests in full. They are a sole income of £100,000, a joint income of £120,000, £100,000 in savings and investments, or a £500,000 mortgage. Premier Reward Black is £39 a month. Advice comes for a one-off flat fee, which reads as tidy until the fee itself turns out not to be on the page.
