TORONTO, Dec. 4, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - A new one-stop-financial-shop designed to serve consumers and businesses alike has just joined the fray in the heart of Bay Street. The new Desjardins financial centre, located at 11 King Street West was officially opened by the Chair of the Board, President and CEO of Desjardins Group, Monique F. Leroux, following a green ribbon-cutting ceremony held this afternoon.
This unique centre will offer a wide variety of Desjardins financial products including:
- Personal and commercial financial services

The Desjardins Voyageurs Credit Union, with several branches across Ontario, will also be on site to provide dedicated teller services, personal loans, mortgages and investments, among others.

"As one of the safest, strongest and most integrated financial services institutions, Desjardins offers an interesting alternative for those in the GTA who are looking for a change. Not only can they — and our growing employee base here — depend on the convenience of having many of their financial transactions under one roof, they can also expect expert advice and support at every stage of their lives."
