The Secret Banker's view

Weatherbys asks itself 'Is there a minimum balance or eligibility requirement?' on its own page. The answer is that each application is assessed on the full picture, which reads as a no with good manners. The fees, by contrast, are all there: £100 a month for clients who joined after 19 January 2026, £85 for those who joined before. The fee is waived at £350,000 of loans, deposits or investments. Ongoing advice starts at 0.60% with a minimum of £3,600 a year plus VAT. The charge card costs £300 a year.
