S2E28: Banks vs IFA Firms vs Providend: How Are We Different?

Isaac Ong

Previously from other big financial institutions, Joyce and Zhi Han both coincidentally applied for an advisory role at Providend after watching this video where Christopher, our CEO, shares the reason why he left the insurance agency – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGfDoOIACGs

In this episode, we are glad to have Joyce, our Associate Adviser, and Zhi Han, our Client Adviser, share their past working experiences in the big banks and well-known financial advisory firms – from client acquisition to the advisory and wealth planning process – versus what they are currently doing here at Providend.

Meanwhile, stay tune for our next episode where we discuss one of the most complex and controversial form of insurance, Investment Linked Policies (ILPs).
