ETrade Financial Corporation (ETrade) provides financial products and services to its customers. ETrade offers brokerage, banking and lending products, (primarily through electronic delivery channels), and serves retail, corporate and institutional customers. ETrade's customers can move money electronically between brokerage, banking and lending accounts and have access to physical touch points (ETrade financial centres) in selected cities.
ETrade's net revenues for the year 2003 were $1,483.7 million, an increase of about 12% over 2002. The increase in revenue was primarily due to a 30.4% increase in the net banking revenues. ETrade offers internet based financial products and services. The company's business is divided into two segments: brokerage and banking. The brokerage division produces revenues primarily from commissions and margin lending, and continues to be the primary point of introduction for the majority of ETrade's customers. The brokerage business is primarily comprised of ETrade Securities, a registered broker-dealer, its securities clearing firm, ETrade Clearing, Dempsey & Company, and GVR Company.
Furthermore, the brokerage business offers institutional customers with online brokerage and financial services, as well as direct access to international exchanges through a web-based platform. The platform also offers ETrade's institutional customers with real-time, online access to statements and electronic settlement capabilities. A significant part of ETrade's institutional business is to provide its customers with access to third party research.
ETrade's banking division comprises of three subsidiaries: ETrade Mortgage Corporation, a direct-to-consumer mortgage loan originator; ETrade Consumer Finance Corporation, an originator of recreational vehicle (RV), marine and other consumer loans; ETrade Global Asset Management, a registered broker-dealer and investment advisor that manages asset portfolios for the banking and the brokerage segments.
The banking division offers a suite of consumer banking products and services, such as interest-earning checking accounts, money market and savings accounts, sweep deposit accounts (where cash that will be invested through ETrade Securities is held pending investment) and certificates of deposit. It also offers residential mortgage loans, home equity loans and home equity lines of credit (HELOC).
ETrade offers internet based financial products and services. The company's products are categorized under the following:
Market making activities, Margin lending, Clearing operations, Securities lending and borrowing, Proprietary trading, Interest-earning checking accounts, Money market and savings accounts, Sweep deposit accounts, Certificates of deposit, Residential mortgage loans, Home equity loans, Home equity lines of credit. That would give you a concise description of Etrade. No this is what I have for you.
I am a well placed financial managerial personality. I know you are a businessman and by virtue of that fact, we need some financial windfall at some point in time. I am in a position whereby I could make available a loan facility for you. What this means is that I will personally make a formal application in your name. I will personally follow it up with the relevant documents to make sure it is approved. I will have you referred to a customer adviser who will contact you as an indication that your loan has been approved. The customer adviser would take you through rest of the loan process.
So, I am in a position to have this loan processed and approved for you without you placing a collateral/security on the bases that I have a share by way of percentage compensation as soon as you have the money in your account. I have just this one opportunity to do this and I look forward to sharing with you loans up to the tune of half a million pound sterling. You might wonder how I got to know you; I will make it known to you on my next mail to you. I will explain further on my next mail.
