Scottrade, a leading branch-supported online investment firm, announces the opening of its second San Antonio, Texas branch office. The branch, located at 946 N. Loop 1604 W. in the Canyon Creek Village, opens on Monday, July 14.
The branch will be managed by Lauren Joseph, who has 21 years of financial services experience including eight years as branch manager of Scottrade’s first San Antonio branch at 45 NE Loop 410.
“San Antonio is a hugely populated and growing area and the new Scottrade branch will allow us to better serve our customers in the north side of San Antonio,” Joseph said. “Our new location is in a highly-visible, high traffic area and I think many of our customers will be excited about having a new Scottrade branch in their community.”
Scottrade is an online investment firm that provides the tools and research for customers to make their own investment decisions. Scottrade does not provide investment advice, but stock brokers are available at branch offices to answer account-related questions, provide customer service and give tutorials on Scottrade’s online trading services.
“We feel it is important to have branch offices where our customers work and live,” said Rodger Riney, Scottrade founder, president and CEO. “While most of our customers trade online, our local offices allow us to provide a better customer experience for online investors.”
The San Antonio branch will be Scottrade’s 26th Texas location and its second in San Antonio. Scottrade opened its first San Antonio branch office in 1995.
Scottrade’s new San Antonio branch office will be open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and can be reached at (210) 494-4494. For more, visit www.scottrade.com.
