TradePlus Online Customer Service

This is one area, I believe TradePlus Online is doing well as compared to many stockbrokers in the discount stockbroking space. Gaining client trust is one of the biggest challenges against discount stock brokers in India and I think, with its extensive focus, this broker is certainly making inroads in the service space.

“TradePlus Online has a Twitter-based customer resolution initiative wherein client’s twitter account can be integrated into the trading platforms.”

These are different communication channels, this discount broker allows its clients to reach back to it:

• Toll-Free Number
• Phone
• Email
• Social Media
• Twitter Integration
• Web support through Knowledgebase

With this number of communication channels, the discount broker has certainly made sure to keep multiple gates and windows open for clients. Not only that, but the broker makes sure the turnaround time of the queries raised is also short. Thus, definitely customer service is one of the top points for the broker.

The discount broker offers research SMS services to its clients and the service is paid in nature. You can subscribe to a plan using the SMP (Subscription Management Portal) for the following charges:

 

However, my view on this service is that you may try this for a month or two. The quality of the research tips is not that great and if you need tips, better check out some of the expert advisory services or you can use full-service stockbrokers.
