The income requirement has only gone up in line with inflation or less; that doesn’t seem unreasonable. And to ask, as an alternative, for £100,000 of savings/investments is a relatively modest requirement for a free bank account with full travel insurance. Barclays Premier doesn’t really offer any benefits and some other bank premier type offerings are paid accounts. It’s also entirely expected after increasing the requirement for new applicants.
The increase is from 75k to 100k, how can you say this is in line with inflation or less?🤣🤣
