As arguably the leading homegrown investment bank in Australia, Macquarie has made a name for itself as a “millionaires” factory, so aptly named due to their (at least pre-GFC) reputation of high margins, strong profits and exorbitant bonuses for management.
Millionaires also have zero-balance accounts with private banks. They leave their money in cash and cash equivalents and they write checks on their zero-balance account. At the end of the business day, the private bank, as custodian of their various accounts, sells off enough liquid assets to settle up for that day.
Many banks offer specific accounts for the wealthy, like Chase Private Client or Citigold Private Client. These accounts typically have high minimum balance requirements — in the hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars — though those balances can be spread over multiple accounts with the same bank.
High net-worth clients are the exclusive focus of Macquarie's private bank, and also comprise a substantial proportion of its private wealth business.

Private equity and hedge funds sit adjacent to securities and trading markets. While they aren't the same thing, these two types of investment tools are popular among billionaires. They appeal to people of high net worth who can afford large investments and higher risk.
Millionaires use credit cards like the Centurion® Card from American Express, the J.P. Morgan Reserve Credit Card. These high-end credit cards are available only to people who receive an invitation to apply, which millionaires have the best chance of getting.
Studies indicate that millionaires may have, on average, as much as 25% of their money in cash. This is to offset any market downturns and to have cash available as insurance for their portfolio. Cash equivalents, financial instruments that are almost as liquid as cash.

High-net-worth Americans (with a self-reported net worth of over $1 million) hold between 2 and 4 credit cards on average. Just over half of wealthy respondents open a new credit card at least three times per year. Only a third of respondents pay off their statement balance every month.

My "lack of liquid assets" presents a problem "just at the moment"; personal banking is really just an add-on to the wealth creation bit, and with no wealth there can be no creation; Coutts prefers its clients to have at least £500,000 to invest, and to keep a quarterly average of £3,000 in their accounts to avoid ...
