This drive will further enhance service excellence and sustainability, as well as increase customer satisfaction.

The second criterion measures the brokerage firm’s alignment with DFM’s vision and has 30% weightage based on four pillars including; services efficiency, service innovation, multi-channel access and commitment to Corporate Governance.
