Who We Are
Founded in 1992, Optima is a business services provider specializing in complex customer service outsourcing with a focus on financial services.
Over the years, Optima has developed a reputation for excellence. We have built the most loyal and long-standing group of client relationships in our industry. By the numbers, that’s 15-20 core clients with an average tenure of 15 years, and 50% of this client base is in financial services. We’re the largest Canadian insurance outsourcer, including Life A&S and Creditor insurance.
Optima can be your sole service provider or compliment in-house resources. We offer on-site, hybrid, and work-from-home service models.
Obviously, solutions for each client vary according to their specific needs. But what every client gets is a committed Optima team that builds and maintains optimal relationships from the moment customers or prospects pick up the phone, open a web-chat, or send an email. We continuously build on our success by learning from each day’s customer interaction.
100% of Optima staff is located within North America.
