Questrade Opens Location in Vancouver
Canada’s fastest-growing online brokerage launches new bricks and mortar Learning Centre to serve its rising client base in the Lower Mainland
Toronto, ON (PRWEB) May 21, 2010
Questrade (http://www. questrade. com (http://www. questrade. com)) today announced that its new Learning Centre is officially open for business in Vancouver, B. C. This marks the second location in as many years rolled out by Canada’s leading independent discount brokerage.
Edward Kholodenko, President and CEO of Questrade said: “Vancouver was the natural choice for our second Learning Centre. The Lower Mainland is dynamic and at the centre of a growing movement for independent investors. Questrade has a very loyal and quickly growing client base in the Vancouver area and Questrade decided it was time we had a physical presence to provide them with even more tools.”
Questrade’s first Learning Centre opened in Toronto in 2009. The centres provide self-directed investors with a place to meet and talk with trading specialists, to test technologies and market data feeds, to learn about online trading tools, and to get assistance in opening accounts. Both locations are shared with Questrade’s educational partner, Online Trading Academy Canada.
“The response has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic to our Learning Centre model,” continues Kholodenko. “People want to trade their own portfolios online, and they also like to gather with like-minded individuals and get support from the experts. This level of personalized service is exactly what we will provide to the people of the Lower Mainland as they work towards their financial goals.”
The new Questrade Learning Centre is open from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. PT at 1424 Metrotower I, 4710 Kingsway in Burnaby, and can be reached at 1-877-821-0631.
