private banks/banking
 

is anyone here using a private bank? if so, what has the experience been like?

It would really depend on which services are important to you, as well as on the bank itself.

key private treats me pretty well :-)

so are you using a private bank?

I used to but foudn their lack of 24/7 service unbareable ...so I wnet back to my old nemesis BofA

hmm. i've been checking out Harris. they appear to be very embracing of technology. lots of online tools, etc.

When I worked for TD Visa, I was in the Branch Services department for over a year, dealing with bank employees. I often dealt with private bankers, and I can tell you these guys went more than the extra mile to get anything for their customers, even if it meant annoying the hell out of me.

quiet, lets open a bank. We need about $2 mil and can get the rest of money from shareholders. I'm sure as an executive of the bank we can offer you higher rates on your investments :)

been with credit suisse's pb for a while now, never a problem and the global investment opps that my rep has sent my way in the past always performed above expectations.
