I think earning 500k a year is wayyyyyyy more difficult than having a 1M deposit
I would think so too but some people have expenses that are high enough that a million in deposit must be hard to reach.
If your are a young woman it is easy!
the idea is for someone who has money in another bank and wants to try out their bank but doesnt wanna leave the other bank. lets say soemone with 10 mil net worth but currently its all with goldman sachs and has salary of 500k a year. couts isnt gona turn him/her down cuz theres potential.
If you make 500K a year shouldn’t you have a 1M deposit
Yes
still waiting for you to say "quid" in a video lol
Courts also do a multi currency debit card. It can handle 19 different currencies. It is for international high fliers.
Once family members join Coutts, it’s relatively easy to join, without meeting the thresholds. You’ll typically see iPads, Dom Perignon, Mr porter vouchers & restaurant vouchers redeemable with rewards points.
I have been waiting for you to cover Coutts for ages. Thank you for the video!
I work in the service industry and I kept seeing the card amongst customers and didn’t know what it was until I researched it. It seems cool.
The twinkle ✨ in your eyes after talking about the lounges is a joy that cannot be faked! 😁🙌 It was the precise look of a kid on Christmas morning! 😄🎁 💳
Your videos on American card products are always to helpful and I’ve leaned a lot by watching. I especially love these videos about foreign cards because it’s simply interesting to discover what those banks offer, and what the market is asking for. I’ll request a video on Branson’s Virgin Money cards!
You should talk about how in New York now merchants are allowed to charge an extra 4% on credit cards basically destroying all rewards....
Excellent video. I didn't know that the silk card had a concierge. I'll start using it now.
My friend has a coutts account, and whilst the silk card doesn’t have an annual fee, there is a charge of I believe £900 annually for a current account, so it is arguably not exactly cheap to have the credit card!
Interestingly I've learned a lot about Coutts products recently and agree with your thoughts vs Centurion in the UK. The silk card does come on Charge or Credit format, I know people with both (for some reason). The charge with silk actually still does have a set limit, but it's recommended for those who will need SUPER high limits, far beyond what even they would offer unsecured on a credit card.
You literally dont know anyone with a higher charge card limit than credit card. They are different products but both expose the bank (In this case, the publicly owned, and government bailed out RBS to the same exposure per client) quit your BS grandstanding and actually add something of value to the conversation, except, as in your case, pure fantasy.
Congratulations on hitting 100,000 subscribers on your UA-cam channel
Congrats on your silver play button! (100K subs)
Honestly seems like a good card especially for higher net worth individuals.
Sounds like this is to Coutts as, say, the Sapphire Preferred is to Chase with some perks. Low perks cards from an exclusive bank. Like you said, those who are with this bank don't really care about points like us plebes 😭😭😭
Thankyou for video..
Not going to lie, that looks legit.
legitimately what?
Great video, maybe one day!
I got the Barclaycard Platinum Credit card (U.K version). It gives me a tiny bit of cash back and doesn’t charge foreign transaction fees. And I got it at a fairly young age if I’m honest which was unexpected.
almost at 100k 🤩
Yes, but can you get an audience with her Majesty after a certain amount of spend?
“Just $250000 of assets” yeah that’s nothing
Is it just me or is this more worth it than a premium card with Annual Fees?
Yes, the deposit range is quite high but imagine the perks that it will then offer you minus the fees that you would have to pay annually.
The J.P. Morgan Reserve and Amex Centurion are prestigious cards to have but this one is good for the thrifty yet wealthy people.
I need to get rich and join those clubs
Just got the metal amex platinum in the UK but I notice mine doesn't have the word platinum on it
The AMEX Centurion has a 5K initiation fee with a 2.5K AF. Year 1 is 7.5K and subsequent years are 2.5K.
Is that for the UK version? The one I was talking about is the US version, here is the cardmember agreement if you want to check it out www.americanexpress.com/content/dam/amex/us/staticassets/pdf/cardmember-agreements/centurion/centurion-card-06-06-2019.pdf
The Amex Platinum fee in the UK is now £575
I thought that the coutts card was really hard to get as they don't sign clients up just because they have lots of wealth. What I read was that you had to be of title or from old money or famous to qualify for an account?? Also that there was only 100 silk card accounts available at any one time??
It’s not that hard to be accepted, I’ve just got private & business banking with a credit card with them.
I herd the Scotiabank offers a credit card better than the Canadian amex centurian card. This their Platinum amex card. Yes Scotiabank has amex cards.
Ccutts is not the most exclusive in uk. Trying opening an account with C Hoare and Co. The oldest bank in the uk, still owned by same family. Coutts is new money. C Hoare is old money.
Coutts isn’t new money as it has been around for hundreds of years but of course they are trying to attract celebrity type individuals at the present day as the aristocracy and old money is dying out. Of course the bank you mentioned is older but not as prestigious or as socially desirable as Coutts similar to Eton and Winchester. Winchester is older and the first public school in England but definitely lesser in prestige than Eton even though it’s prestigious it’s considered less posh than Eton even though it’s older and more academically successful it’s not as preferable amongst the social elite
Is this card available for international clients (foreigners who are not U.K. citizens)?
Do a series on credit cards in India .
Invest 1 million to have £85,000 protected. Better of keeping it simple and putting 1 million plus into NS&I which protects 100%
If its actually invested then you dont get the deposit guarantee anyway, it's only cash balances that are eligible.
I may correct you that Amex Platinum annual fees is £575 in the UK
ah yeah it just went up
Not anymore. It’s been raised to $695 USD. Gonna dump it at my annual renewal.
Except it’s not as hard to get Amex as it is coutts even with the money required
if I have a bank deposit in coutts bank, will they give a coutts credit card? unfortunately they don't have any lounge here in the philippines.
No. They still review and there is Mabuhay lounge.
I went on this website. I felt like i didnt belong there. 😂😂
My dad has the courts silk card
yeet mine too
lol459 wake up your child
You think for such a card, they’d put the numbers on the back. Front facing numbers look cheap and harken back to the days of embossed numbers and credit card imprinters.
They do that now, this is an older video x
my good sir, I do beg your pardon ... BUT I think the JP Morgan Palladium Card is just a bit harder to get than the Coutts Silk Card; one must have or must be approaching 10M in assets according to Lord Graham of House Stephan.
it doesnt exist anymore pal
I think Graham exaggerated.
coutts in a time of inflation.. tell me more
Oh,, great#
The three clubs you mentioned are not elite London clubs.
They are still very upscale, an not for the majority of the population
hmm i am always wondering how these cards are available for non nationals
They offer banking services to foreign nationals
Or months later I am do you have a way that I could reach out to you and get some advice on credit my friend has put me in a financial disaster
second is best
i bet its not as good as the credit shifu credit card
Im getting a amex black card first then this
i'm having problems getting a pay day loan
The card was also designed by fashion designer Stella McCartney.
I have over 30 credit cards, a FICO over 800, and absolutely zero Amex! Will never do business with them after the embarrassing decline back in 1998 at Christmas, never again!
24 years, thats one hell of a grudge
I am in UK and i don't about it lol my brain gone
we're u that star trek guy.
I know what a useless comment.
But we're u.
Only Jed Clampett should apply.
Oh shit JJ(ksi) use this bank
Your friend sounds suspect...
Let's see how much fees Coutt's rip off their customers
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 👎🏾
Well that is just outright an awful card.
First
Amex is trash! They are so restrictive and expensive it’s pointless. CSR Is the best card
I like AMEX but CSR is better, I agree.
what is csr?
The card looks cheap, it wouldn't wow anyone here in the states.
Some people do not want to wow people with their credit cards or wealth, it's vulgar.
Who gives a fuck about wowing people, it is about wealth management not flexing how rich you are to people.
you are talking about coutts bank and you dress like a trump .
