As an execution-only, non-advisory brokerage, National Bank Independent Network (NBIN) offers a wide range of investment services, alongside our core custody services. It's essential for us that you have confidence in reaching out to us with any questions or comments regarding these services. Please note that if your account is managed on a discretionary basis by a registered portfolio manager, the responsibility for the suitability of investments lies solely with them, not with NBIN. Should you have any concerns about the suitability of investments or the financial performance of your account, we encourage you to contact your portfolio manager directly.
Your feedback on our business relationship is always welcome. If an experience falls short of expectations, we view it as an opportunity to improve. We value your trust and are pleased to count you among our clients. Your satisfaction remains one of our top priorities.
Please do not hesitate to contact us by mail or email with any comments or concerns.
