Valiant Trust Company today announced that it has entered the British Columbia market with the opening of a new Vancouver office.

Established in 1993, Valiant Trust Company is a non-deposit specialty trust company providing stock transfer, corporate trust and employee benefit plan services to public companies and income trusts.

Valiant Trust currently offers stock transfer and registrar services to more than 180 public companies and income trusts in Alberta and will be targeting new opportunities for growth in B.C.

“The Valiant Trust philosophy of offering highly personalized service has proven very successful in the Alberta market,” said Bob Morris, general manager, Valiant Trust. “Offering customers a customer-focused alternative at this time should be particularly attractive given the recent consolidation in the industry.”

The Vancouver office is located on the 22nd Floor, Park Place, 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 2X8.

In addition to the new Vancouver office, customers are serviced from Valiant Trust’s Calgary head office as well as sub-agency offices in Toronto, New York and London.
