With the right clearing partner, you and your firm can become more efficient, more creative — and more productive. That's why your choice of a clearing firm will be one of the most important strategic business decisions you'll make.

So, what should you look for in a clearing firm? Should you look for one that's content just to handle your transactions competently, or should you try to find one that's proactive in helping you succeed? Do you want a company that "takes on" correspondents as an adjunct to their "real" business, or do you want a true partner whose mission and goals are totally aligned with yours?

If you're more interested in a "proactive partner", then I hope you'll strongly consider RBC Dain Correspondent Services.
