Questrade

Questrade is the largest Canadian independent online broker; it also maintains a wealth management unit. Founded in 1999, this discount broker applied in December 2019 for a banking license, signaling a dual desire to expand financial services to its clients and, at the same time, keep all aspects under one corporate umbrella. Per its own account, over 100,000 new accounts join this broker annually, with its core business in self-directed investing. Assets under management exceed $15 billion, and Questrade is an eight-time winner of the Best Managed Companies in Canada.
