Testimonials
They have the personal touch. DBA took the time to get to know us, our teams and our business in order to negotiate and create a plan designed to our needs. They have their finger on the pulse of what is right for our business. Not only is their customer service second to none, their expertise is phenomenal. The DBA team has saved us tens of thousands of dollars.
Since moving our benefits to DBA we have reduced our costs significantly without sacrificing our employee’s benefits. Jennifer is always reaching out to see how things are going and if we need anything. Her team goes above and beyond – always! A pleasure to deal with.
Since partnering with DBA we have streamlined our benefit and pension plans making both plans easier to manage. We have been able to provide our employees with an enhanced benefit package without increasing our costs...
DBA provides outstanding service and outstanding support. They are always there with the answers I need.
Moving our employee benefit package to DBA has proven to be an excellent choice for SeCan. They were able to significantly reduce our monthly premiums while maintaining our high level of benefits and services. They are always just a phone call away.
