As far as I know you have to bank with them to get a bond from them but I can't say for sure.
Its not really a 50% deposit, transferred my bond from another bank and because I have done renovations and the house price has increased, the outstanding bond amount that I am moving over is only half the value of the property.
Got Prime -1 on car finance at the same time (40% deposit, cash and trade in).
Perks of the account would be: free ATM withdrawals worldwide, cheaper currency conversion fees, Prime interest rate on the credit card, free "cash management" account that offers 5.something% interest, private banker (very on the ball in my experience). Those are the ones I can think of, might have missed some.
