My guess would be that the bank will want the client to use CASH when opening an annuity? What do you think mathjak107?
oh yeah , the banks want to sell you product and no bigger money maker for them than their variable annuities.

what is nice about fidelity is even when we went for the consultation they attempted to sell us nothing.

Yeah... and they know you by name when you walk through the door. Just little things like that. I can call and have a cashier's check ready for me, I can call in and have money ready for me - say I wanted to withdraw $5,000 in $100s, it can be ready for me by the time I come through the door so no delay.

Plus, wiring is free... this is great.

No I don't think they have free food at the bank... But if you are CPC you can be qualified to apply for the Palladium card and that gets your Lobby access and perhaps United Club access too.

But that'd be cool though... A free lounge room at the bank.

Don't mind me guys... I'm just here for the luxury cookies. Lol!

Pini -- when I worked at a bank 15 years ago, all that stuff was a given(except for free wire transfers). We were supposed to know our clients and refer to them by name. And we often did free cookies and coffee. If you called ahead for cash to be on hand, we would arrange it for it to be delivered that day, so we had it. Same thing for cashiers checks, and notary service. They weren't free, but they were there.

nothing is ever free, but sometimes you can get stuff for money you were going to spend anyway. my mom has access to a lounge area with great food and drinks that are "free" to her in the borgata in atlantic city. sure, she had to lose a lot of money to get in there but its nice. she also gets to cut the line at the buffet, best part of that is seeing how pissed off people get when we do it.

is there any reason to stop in a fidelity investment center? there arent many of them around really but they should have some coffee and luxury cookies in them at least.

DO NOT USE CHASE PRIVATE CLIENT!!!!!!!! I had a HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH THEM. They were NOT good --- in my opinion. They completely missed my investment objectives -- which costs me thousands of dollars. I was sold investments that did not fit -- and were completely wrong. STAY AWAY FROM CHASE PRIVATE CLIENT!
