COMPREHENSIVE PRODUCT PROFILES
The most comprehensive of their kind, The Fiscal Reports are a collection of financial services product profiles gathered from over 130 financial institutions in Canada. A range of banking, savings, investment and retirement products are covered. The profiles include a comprehensive list of product features, fees and conditions. The average number of features reported per product area is 25 and growing!
Participants include: Banks, Trust Companies, Credit Unions, Insurance Companies, Mutual Fund Companies, Investment Dealers and Mortgage Loan Companies.
For one organization to obtain this much data would be extremely time consuming and costly. However, having access to this information without having to put in the hours for data collection, will allow a thorough examination of product competition in a cost effective manner and will also assist in providing the leading edge in customer service.
Annually or semi annually, depending on the report, and at regularly scheduled times, product profile surveys are sent to participating financial institutions for completion. Fiscal Agents then gathers, compiles and prepares The Fiscal Reports in a timely manner. Data is electronically stored and updated regularly and is verified for its accuracy by the participating financial institution before publication.
Reliability, accuracy and objectivity of data are enhanced by having the participants complete the information. Electronic storage means reports are easily updated and accuracy is maintained.
