Okay I admit I don't have an account with every bank in the UK, but what my username on the forum has to do with it I really don't know ?, but as you apparently know the answer I would love to hear it.

The Lloyds card on that picture looks great!

I like these pics that are appearing like a wealth competition. It's hardly worth my while showing my couple of humble cards, including my NatWest Premier Select Account or my Credit Suisse Card.
And I thought I was well-off ! I need to have a lot of money to be accepted for my 2 main cards.

May I ask what income YOU have to have IN TOTAL to obtain the 13 Cards you have as shown in the above pic please ? I estimate it to be somewhere in the region of £10 million. What an asset your knowledge will bring to this forum.

Your estimates on both me and Saver101101 are way off the mark… how did you come up with £10 millions income (not net worth, you are talking about income right?) 

You obviously would benefit from following this forum more actively than you have done and, more Importantly, accept when your posts have been highlighted to be incorrect… I have been an active forum member for about 7 years so I am indeed sharing my knowledge, but cannot says the same for you describing a “free” account as “packaged” and offering the same benefits as the packaged account costing £31 pm months more (same means minus Travel insurance, Barack down cover, home emergency cover, concierge service, etc) 😂 

BTW this forum is indeed frequented (or at least has been at some point) by Coutts and other “real” Private Banks customers, Barclays Wealth and from other similar banks, so we are not alone.

Well, my two "big cards" NatWest Premier Select and Credit Suisse add up to a financial requirement of over £1million, so I reckoned ( reasonably IMHO----without bothering to google the exact amounts ) that your 13 cards must be considerably more than my humble amount , something like 11 times more ( very roughly----as I've said, I can't be bothered to google all your card financial requirements). So you never answered my question about the total you need to hold all those cards. By sidestepping that question, you say more than if you had been able to answer the question .......

And why do you have all the cards you have lined up in a cascade of glitter ? Do you need all of them ?  I find my 2 "big " cards/accounts are more than enough when put together with my more "everyday" cards and accounts.

And as for your patronising lecture that I "would benefit from following more actively than ( I) have done and more importantly accept when your posts have been highlighted to be incorrect" : do you actually believe that someone like me really has the time to follow this forum more actively ( like some sad folk who spend 24/7 here) ??? Or that I should bother too much about 100% detailed and precise figures when I use a broad-brush "ball park" approach rather than waste my valuable time becoming a professional googler?  Save your pompous lectures for somebody else--because I don't need them. 

And I look forward to your precise ( or approx ) answer to my question as to how much is required for you to qualify for the 13 Cards as shown in your picture.

OMG, not worth really having a further exchange with you, but if you keep posting and/or reply to thread with inaccurate information it will be pointed out.. 13 cards (it is actually 14, the 1st one on the top is hidden) I have on my Apple wallet is only a sample size of all my financial products if you must know, and most of them are credit cards/forex cards, albeit someone would say mostly premium cards.

BTW I used to have a Swiss Franc bank account with Credit Suisse, it costed 5CHF per month and had a minimum deposit requirements of €1000,  I closed it as they had issues with documentation required from the UK (if you are based in Germany, France or Italy it is pretty easy to open a standard bank account with both UBS and CS)... RBS /NatWest premier has a min requirement of £100k income, it is a Premier account not private bank. I have talked about and actually provided much advice on Premier Banking.. i have never provided advice about Coutts, Hoare & Co, JP Morgan Private, Lombard & Coe  or UBS UNWI outside of suggesting that one looks into them.

Hi i'm having trouble creating a Barclays Premier Current account despite fulfilling the eligibility criteria. I have been into the branch multiple times to do so, but my attempts were of little/no avail. Probably because I had profile created previously (Rewards Card which was closed and still own a Barclaycard Travel). So latest branch visit helped to create a basic current account, which I was told could upgrade to Premier Current account but later on been told it's NEVER possible. I'm abit stuck, and wondering if anyone had this problem and how you went about it?  Thanks
