Been with Standard bank but my view is that my level of service/benefits received have lowered. Charges are also high imho.

Anyone willing to recommend a private banking account at major banks?
 
Investec. Good rates on loans and I've always had fantastic service.
 
Investec is good, but I'm currently with FNB Private Wealth. It's much of a muchness if you get allocated a good personal banker.
 
How good is online banking with Investec? That is a deal breaker for me as I hate going into banks.
 
Depends on what you mean by "how good is it"?

I think its pretty crappy, but its slowly improving.
 
Yep one needs great online services and good interest rates.

Compared to what? I have both Investec and FNB online banking and they aren't much different as far as I can tell.

Same experience with Standard, also thinking of moving.

Well, if you think entire site styles changing as you navigate is good design, then that's great for you, I think it shows poor development skills being used.

+1 for Investec. I recently switched. They do not have any physical banks or ATMs. Functionality on their online portal is exactly the same as for FNB (as far as I can tell) though I do agree that FNBs is slightly better designed.

The huge benefit for me in switching to Investec is the fact that my private banker is about a million times better than anyone I have ever dealt with at FNB. You also never get asked to go into an office, if some documents need to be signed the banker comes to meet you at a time and place convenient for you. I have yet to meet my banker, and have opened the account from overseas (I am working internationally until early next year). I have my banker on whatsapp and it takes him on average probably 2 minutes to reply and then probably another half hour to come back to me with feedback/solutions to my queries. The experience between the two has been chalk and cheese for me.
 
I see a lot of you guys are with Investec. What is a good interest rate in your eyes if you have a bond with them ?
