Private banking includes personalized financial services and products that retail banks and other financial institutions offer to high-net-worth individuals (HNWI). These services and products often include:

• investment and portfolio management

• wealth management

• tax services

• will, trust, and estate planning services

• insurance products

• jumbo mortgages

• lines of credit

• bill payment.

Private banking clients often receive discounted or preferred pricing on these services and products.

To be eligible for private banking services and products, retail bank clients are often required to maintain balances in their bank accounts (checking, savings, money market) and investment accounts (IRAs, mutual funds) totaling $150,000 to $250,000 or more.

In South Dakota, private banking services are regulated under both state and federal laws. These services cater to high-net-worth individuals by offering a suite of personalized financial products and services, which may include investment and portfolio management, wealth management, tax services, estate planning, insurance products, jumbo mortgages, lines of credit, and bill payment services. Clients typically receive preferred pricing and may need to maintain a certain balance across their accounts to qualify for private banking services. South Dakota's Division of Banking oversees state-chartered banks, ensuring they comply with applicable laws and regulations. Federally, private banking is subject to regulations by entities such as the Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). These regulations are designed to ensure the safety and soundness of financial institutions, protect consumers, and enforce anti-money laundering and anti-fraud measures. Clients interested in private banking services should consult with an attorney to understand the specific legal and regulatory implications.
