If you are a Chase Private Client grandfathered at a time when they didn’t enforce you to maintain an obscene amount of money in your accounts, those honeymoon days are over. Received a letter telling me to basically pony up 150k or get downgraded to Joe the plumber banking status. Chase you guys are going to lose your loyal wealthy customers who are temporarily strapped for cash by doing this.

As someone at Joe the Plumber levels, what does private banking status get you? I’m quite happy with online everything and a deposit box I open about twice a decade.

likefunnyhelpful

Private client grants perks s/a easier and free wiring of money - very important perk if you have multiple bank accounts or are bringing in money from overseas. It also grants access to the JPM reserve card.

Who keeps $150k in cash anyway (short of saving for down payment)? Isn’t that the worst way to keep your money?

like

Guys, 150k is the combination of deposit, brokerage and retirement accounts. I got the letter too, have 10k in cash and rest are in brokerage/ retirement accounts. Don’t worry..

The irony is that Joe yhe plumber likely has 150k

likefunnysmart

So after reading the responses and reading the letter, you’re kidding right? All this flexing about your cash balances and the whole argument is against a $35 monthly fee?

The fact you even posted this letter in the first place tells me all I need to know about you.

You used to need 250k to be private client but I guess that’s been relaxed.

The biggest perk they used to have (but I haven’t seen it renewed) was an arts and culture card that basically got you into any museum in your home city with a guest for free or a reduced rate.

likesmart

We get that and use it all the time.

They know, they don’t care. They did the numbers and project some of you will go and they determined they do not care long before you got this letter

Lol that you still bank at a bank. Credit unions all the way. Banks have teams of strategists (many hired by our firms) to determine how to screw customers out of their money.

Used to be a time where credit unions could not match rates or access like big banks, but big banks no longer offer decent rates and digital banking has narrowed the access. No reason to bank at an actual bank anymore.

Having that kind of balance gives you a LOT of few waivers (ex wire fee of $50) so if you’re not keeping the required balance - time to be charged those fees. They lose a lot of $ by those who don’t carry those balances taking advantage of the fee waivers (:
