We wanted to ensure that our mortgage customers have a best-in-class partner passionate about offering great service for one of their most important investments,” said Steve Fiorelli, SVP, Wealth Solutions, Canada Life. “With the move to nesto, our customers will receive a modern, digital customer experience and will also continue to receive wealth and insurance advice from their current advisor.”
This announcement is the beginning of an important relationship between the two firms. In addition to servicing the existing mortgages starting January 2024, nesto will also be responsible for Canada Life mortgages at maturity. Canada Life borrowers can expect to benefit from nesto’s competitive mortgage products, supported by its dedicated team of Mortgage Advisors.
