The bottom line

The Bottom Line

Trust clients pay an advisory fee and a corporate trustee fee for the services. The financial institution would receive a contracted, predetermined override on the advisory fee. This typically creates a recurring fee-based revenue stream for the institution.

Being able to offer Trust Services to your clients can help you gain more wallet share and keep your competition out of the picture. Furthermore, Trust accounts survive even after the original client has passed away, allowing your institution to manage money over generations.
