What is a premium bank account (and why get one)?

Everyone should have a bank account. From safely storing your money to helping you reach your financial goals, it’s an integral part of managing your finances.

The type of account you choose should be based on the objectives you’d like to achieve. When starting out, a basic transactional or savings account might be sufficient, but as your priorities and needs change, upgrading to a premium account can give you more choice and more perks.

Here’s a look at what a premium account entails and what it offers.

What is a premium bank account?

A premium bank account is an exclusive account that offers specific banking and lifestyle benefits, but it has certain qualification criteria and requirements, such as a monthly fee and minimum monthly income. In turn, it opens a world of features and services that you wouldn’t have had access to or would have had to pay for with a basic bank account.

We offer a suite of private banking accounts with extra banking features and customised services that can help make life easier and save you more time.

There are various benefits to having a private bank account, including the following:

  • An enhanced banking experience with multiple banking features and capabilities in a single account
  • Preferential rates on lending products  
  • Access to additional bank accounts for free
  • Special banking privileges, including round-the-clock support from a dedicated team of bankers
  • Offshore banking solutions
  • Travel, lifestyle and insurance benefits
