Toronto, ON (PRWEB) October 9, 2008 -- Questrade Inc. today announced a new initiative for the Chinese-speaking community. This includes the Questrade corporate website in traditional, and simplified Chinese. The site includes pricing and rates, trading platforms, investment products and services, security and privacy, and contact information. Also available is Questrade's live help tool, which allows clients to chat instantly online with client services representatives in simplified and traditional Chinese.

Edward Kholodenko, President and CEO of Questrade, said, "Our clientele is diverse and we want to reflect that in our products and services. Making Questrade.com and other products and services available in Chinese means we can better support our Chinese-speaking clients.
