President's Letter

I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce you to Merit Insurance Premium Financing. Our mission is a simple one. We provide financing to Canadians to pay for their insurance premiums. We do this by offering competitive pricing and responsive service to our local insurance industry—the brokers and agents, whom we consider our Clients. How we do this is what differentiates us from our competitors.

We start by listening, not selling. Our deep industry experience and leading industry professionals get to know the goals and principles of our Clients. From this relationship, we can tailor-make payment terms and conditions to meet your respective needs, and in turn we gain further insight. This Client service orientation is the foundation of Merit Finance.

As the leading provider of insurance premium financing wholly owned and operated by and for Canadians, we hire bright and friendly staff who are dedicated to best serving our Clients. On a day to day basis our team makes me proud and makes our Clients look good and feel glad that they guided their clients (the insureds) to use us. Our edge also comes from investment in our telecommunications and the computer processing technology that enables us to offer seemless and efficient processing. This website is now part of that electronic backbone and will enable us to respond quicker, permitting us to spend more time on customer service rather than processing, and hopefully will provide some long-run mutual cost savings.

Through working with us, you will, if you have not already, get to know me, I take an active role in all aspects of the business and am always there for you if you need to contact me. I do spend time driving to the towns and cities and keeping in close contact with all of our longstanding and new Clients and hope that when we next meet that you let me know if you have any ideas for us or if there is anything that we could do better for you—or even if you have time to go get a beer.

In addition, as many of you know, our very successful Merit SkyPoints program serves as another reward for sending premium financing our way, so please make sure that you are signed-up and ready to take a holiday on us. Again, thank you for using our Website as a tool to improve your business's use of our insurance premium finance and it will be my pleasure to speak or meet with you soon!

Most cordially yours,

Harvey Meretsky
President
