Questrade rolls out sweeping pricing improvement

Toronto, ON (April 3, 2008) – Questrade Inc., Canada's most innovative brokerage, announces today it is simplifying its top-rated stock trade commission plans into a single "democratic" price. All Questrade clients are eligible for 1¢ per share, with a minimum commission of $4.95 and a cap of $9.95.

Democratic pricing automatically gives clients the best possible commission for every trade. Small lots can qualify for a commission of $4.95, trades of between 495 and 995 shares are priced at a penny per share, and larger lot trades are capped at $9.95.

Says Edward Kholodenko, President and CEO of Questrade: "We want to offer a fair deal to all our customers, no matter their trade activity level or account balance. It's the democratization of trading. New or more casual investors now get the same purchasing power that was always available to active and pro traders."

Democratic pricing takes effect April 1st, 2008, and all Questrade clients are automatically enrolled. A Questrade account can be opened with $1000, there are no annual fees, no trade activity thresholds and a balance of only $250 is required to maintain an account in good standing.

The new commission is a continuation of the firm's commitment to accessible, cost-effective investment solutions for Canadians.
In January, 2008, Questrade introduced USD in RSP™, the first RSP to hold U.S. dollars. This service eliminates the 1% to 2% currency conversion fees that other brokerages attach to all RSP trades in U.S. markets.


In January, 2007, Questrade began offering the gold RSP, the only registered savings account in Canada that directly deals in physical gold. With gold around USD $1000 today, investor interest in the service has been surging - doubling since the beginning of 2008.
