    If that's "premier banking", I've had it for over 25 years with First Direct ;) with no jumping through hoops or proving a high income.

    I only upgraded for the better mortgage rates and Premier banking customer services (straight through to a person, no automated system).

    Try again ;).

    You are just not the "kind' of customer they are targeting these accounts towards.


    It's business, not personal.



    Next month their "want's" could change......


    It's all about what is going to make "them" profit and from their "internal scoring" algorithms from your past history of running your account predicts that you are not.

    I get the better mortgage rates, which is why I didn't highlight it!

    It was the "and Premier banking customer services (straight through to a person, no automated system)" where you seem to imply that "Premier banking" means you don't have to use an automated system. I've had that for over 25 years with First Direct :D
