What
Does Broker
Resource Center
Do?
Broker
Resource Center was formed in 1991 with the realization that no one
financial institution can provide and service all of an individual's
financial needs, and that an independent agent or broker is best suited
as the intermediary. Broker Resource Center's role is to help agents
or brokers select the financial company that provides the best in value,
strength and service.
