What are some of the criteria for bank customers to qualify for private banking? Why are banks required to define the criteria?
- Criteria -> Although each bank is different in its requirements they are generally based on one or all of the following three factors:
Household income
Mutual of Omaha requires Household income >= $250,000
Net Worth
Mutual of Omaha requires net worth >= $1,000,000
Liquidity
Mutual of Omaha requires liquidity to be >= $500,000
Why define criteria
- Criteria must be defined so that you can clearly show that a member is in the private banking department for standardized reasons. Often times Private Banking clients are offered perks or other considerations that are not available to Non-Private Banking clients. These perks can include discounted loan rates, increased deposit rates, discounted fees, etc. Therfore, there is no ambiguaity or threat of discrimination.
