It's not relative to the bank but to the bank branch. I have an account with Chase and I made it clear that I'll be depositing $2K to keep the account on, and I would not be using it for day to day transactions. The branch manager was cool with that and we chatted for an hour or so about different stuff and he actually gave me some real advice.
This is not about Chase, it's about the branch and the branch manager. I'm pretty sure another branch manager will be annoyed talking to a $2k client in deposits with no in/out flows and might not even consider them for an account.
If you want to bank with a specific bank, shop for the branch.
True, a few years later, I now live in Austin and the Chase people here are a whole lot nicer to me. Maybe there's just too many ultra-rich people in Palo Alto, heh.
