Premier at a glance

International Premier is a comprehensive and personal service built around the needs of our affluent clients.

Benefits include:



International telephone and internet banking
Manage your account by phone, or get secure access to your accounts 24 hours a day* through our online banking service.


Easy day-to-day banking
You can choose to hold cheque accounts in sterling, US dollars, euros and several other currencies. We also offer Premier clients a pre-approved overdraft facility of £10,000 (or the equivalent in another currency) and a range of banking cards to make cash withdrawals or purchases worldwide**.

Foreign exchange
As an international client we can help you minimise the impact of exchange rate movements on your income and savings with us, as well as provide the foreign exchange you may need for international travel, purchases or payments.

A range of top savings products
You will have an extensive range of savings accounts to choose from depending on how much and how often you want to save, and how often you need access. Many of our savings products are available in a choice of major currencies, and expert cash management advice is on hand to help you choose.


A variety of investments products
Our range includes structured deposits, structured notes, single asset class funds and access to the multi-manager approach to investing, all of which offer a choice of risk and return, and are available in a choice of major currencies. You can also take advantage of investments linked to foreign exchange.

Investment advice or management
Your Relationship Manager can introduce you to one of our investment specialists. Choose from an advice only or provide a fully managed investment service, whichever suits your needs.


Loans and mortgages in a choice of currencies
As an international bank we recognise the credit history you’ve already established in your home country. So whether you want to improve your short-term cash flow, make an investment, take out a mortgage, or even borrow money to buy a boat, we can provide the finance in sterling, US dollars and euros.


*Please note for a short period of time every night (UK time) we temporarily close our website for a data refresh. Access may also be limited in some countries due to the prohibited transmission of encrypted data over telephone lines. Please contact your local embassy to check your country's legal position.
