TORONTO, March 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Questrade (www.questrade.com) -- Canada’s fastest growing online brokerage and a true innovator in financial services for Canadians -- is proud to announce it has been awarded the 2018 DALBAR Seal for Service Excellence.
The Seal for Service Excellence can only be earned after a company undergoes a thorough audit of their customer service, and in order to qualify it must exceed stringent benchmarks in criteria covering all aspects of its customer service interactions. Criteria include both the interpersonal aspects of the customer relationship, as well as addressing important transactional aspects of the customer request.
“We care deeply about helping Canadians become more financially successful and secure, and commit to providing exceptional service. We hire people who really care, are patient, and are driven to add value to our customers,” said Jason Grieve, chief client officer of Questrade. “Our extensive training program ensures our team is equipped with in-depth product knowledge and expertise, and always goes ‘above and beyond’ to provide our customers with relevant solutions to help them with their investing goals.”
“Institutions that achieve the Seal for Service Excellence are recognized for the high quality service delivery to their customers and are leaders within the financial services industry,” explained Michelle Slute, VP, research, DALBAR Inc. “Questrade exceeded our benchmark of criteria and truly embodies the goal to always strive for ways to improve everything it does.”
“Canadians are looking for a trusted, reliable and reputable company to better fulfill their investing needs. While lower fees, which can deliver better returns, play a big role in deciding where they will invest, it is exceptional customer service that provides Canadians the confidence they need to achieve their financial goals,” concluded Edward Kholodenko, president and CEO of Questrade.
Ever since its founding in 1999, Questrade has had one clear vision: to help Canadians achieve financial independence by providing them with the best investment products, technology, and customer service.
