Thanks, that's what I had assumed.
World MC used to require BEA Private Bank to apply but it is no longer the case now (however, you still need to be their banking customer to qualify for annual fee waiver - even their most basic savings account)
My MPF is with BEA and that should qualify for a perpetual fee waiver too, per their Schedule of Fees & Charges PDF.
