Explain why. I have about 20k sitting in my Santander 123 current account.

Current account fraud isn't hard especially when you can clone bank cards and get the PIN at ATMs or at chip and pin machines.

So that's free mobile phone insurance, travel insurance, etc.

Any recommended alternatives?

That's probably not a bad deal based on the 'free' products you get for £25 per month. However £10k in a current account would be a problem for me.

What on earth for? Are you that vain that you want a bank manager to massage your ego?
Some marketing goon has decided that posh people use a private bank, so they create a new account type. Much the same as all their accounts except you get to talk to a guy.

Surely these accounts are for when you earn £1000k a year...

You earn 100k a year? What are after from these besides free phone insurance and holiday insurance?
