HONGKONG BANK TRADING ENTERS QUEBEC
By Adnews Staff
The Hongkong Bank of Canada introduced its discount stock trading service to Quebec this week. Quebec investors will be able to access major stock markets in Canada and around the world through the Hongkong Bank Discount Trading Inc.'s toll-free number. They can also trade through netTRADER, the bank's Internet stock trading service. The Hongkong Bank's trading services are now available in all provinces except Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland. Peter Hickman, Hongkong Bank Discount Trading Inc.'s president and CEO, told Adnews the company is in the process of establishing a Nova Scotia presence. Hickman said the bank's immediate advertising plans in Quebec include only brochures and direct mail to the bank's clients. These will be done in-house. But the bank will advertise its new service in business trade publications in the future, he added. Bryant, Fulton & Shee of Vancouver handles the bank's advertising.
