Desjardins Group has opened a new one-stop-financial-shop designed to serve consumers and businesses in the heart of Toronto’s financial district.

The new Desjardins financial centre was officially opened by Monique Leroux, president and CEO, following a green ribbon-cutting ceremony held Wednesday.

The centre will offer a wide variety of Desjardins financial products including personal and commercial financial services, wealth management, securities and online brokerage, and retirement planning support. Home and auto insurance are offered adjacent to the centre.

The Desjardins Voyageurs Credit Union, with several branches across Ontario, will also be on site to provide dedicated teller services, personal loans, mortgages and investments, among others.

“This new financial centre is a tangible demonstration of our continued commitment to increasing awareness of the co-operative business model,” said Leroux.

Desjardins Group is the fifth largest co-operative financial group in the world with assets of $210 billion. It has more than 2,500 employees in Ontario and several offices in operation across the Greater Toronto area.
