Economic TimesHow beneficial are premium banking services for HNIs?
Banks offer premium banking programmes to high net worth individuals (HNIs) who maintain a minimum total relationship value (TRV). These programmes offer exclusive privileges including premium debit and credit cards, zero to low forex mark-up on international transactions, lower interest rates on loans, and access to wealth management and lifestyle services.
