I once met someone who works in a "private branch" of a large national bank in Australia. It's located in the city with an unmarked entrance. You can't get your foot in the door unless you've got at least a couple of hundred thousand dollars of positive balance in your accounts.

If I had $200k cash, it wouldn't be sitting in a savings account.
