Hi
You are right in saying that the extra services or concierge services are provided to the HNI Customers or Priority Clients. Most of these services are not even known by a normal customer.
However i always thought Banks should tieup with Schools and educational institutions so that the Tution fees could be paid online. This is a more generallized service which many more people can take advantage of.
