Sounds a horrific process, probably some affluent folk might appreciate it but even if I was at the higher end, I’d still stick with Lloyds or whatever.

Wanna know something funny!
I opened a Halifax Account on my laptop while on the phone to them. 
Was very speedy!

Exactly, I couldn’t be fussed with such efforts. I’ll never really need a concierge type thing as I’d always need to see what I’m booking etc opposed to someone doing it for me.
I’m the same with group holidays, I’ll do it

That’s only because you’ve not gotten used to it. Wife’s boss, through relying on other people for so long, doesn’t know how to walk into a hotel and get a room. No, can’t do it online either and gets his emails printed out for him. He’s gonna have a problem when he retires and has to do stuff for himself

I’d absolutely not enjoy someone doing something for me in that manner, it’s a whole level of laziness imo. Nobodies life is that busy.
And if it is, make time for yourself.

Sorry everyone I forgot to update this.
Long story I did go for the interview which was honestly just a sit down chat. I have decided not to move forward with the account opening process.
Basically I was told that they would open the account but I needed to deposit the £250K by a certain date or they would look into closing the account. They also needed lots of documents from me and I mean like Investment document, proof of stock ownership, salary documentation. By the end of the chat I was over the account and decided it was too much hassle.
Maybe in the future I will look at them again when I can afford a £250K deposit. But at the moment I will stick with Natwest and Barclays for now
