  2. Making the complex simple. No matter how complicated the transfer of assets may be, your private banker should handle the details and keep you informed every step of the way. Additionally, they should be on the lookout for opportunities and present them to you in a clear manner that helps you make informed decisions.
  3. Better rates and pricing. As a valuable, high net worth customer of the bank, you should have access to competitive rates on savings vehicles and lower rates on loans.
