Usually if you have several accounts and investments with 1 bank they will provide you with low to no lender fees and the better rate.The main issue here is that there is a lot of time/effort spent looking at your financials and documents to make sure there are no discrepancies, qualifying you, and sending Pre-Approval Letters, for you to just go with another lender that is offering you the better rate/fees.
