Zerodha reviews 2018:
Zerodha offers an excellent customer support. It always delivers a unique, standard, and memorable experience to the customers. The queries of customers are mostly answered by the CEO of the company itself or by the experts in the related field. Opening an account with them is an easy and stress-free process. One of my personal experience with Zerodha is when I completed the online application within an hour a representative called me to welcome and answered all the queries I had. He also suggested me to refer z-connect, an interactive blog written by experts which is very detailed and simple to understand. It is a cool place for beginners to learn.
Support from Zerodha started with contextual ticket creation and intelligent search for the user, as a result, user don’t need to send queries to the support team. In order to resolve lots of issues in the first place, Zerodha has a rich library of support document. For the investors who want to know more about their transaction or order details the next level solution is Zerodha secure search in which user reached to account level he can create a support ticket for that particular transaction. With this new feature added to Zerodha support family, users can create a direct ticket on Zerodha support portal without sending emails to support@zerodha.com.

Zerodha Product and services:
Earlier, for demat zero was having a tie-up with ILFS but now they have their own DB service. If you open a demat account with zerodha then transfer between trading account and the demat account is seamless. With this, you can trade on F&O, equity, commodity, and currency on NSE, MCX, BSE, and MCX-SX and invest in mutual funds. Zerodha has branches in more than 40 cities of India other than Bangalore main office.
Being a discount share broker, our expectation from Zerodha was to charge minimum share brokerage for trading, that comes true by paying Rs.20 or 0.01% per executed order whichever is minimum for an option, F&O, currency trading, and commodity. They also made trading in equity delivery completely free. As Zerodha is not a 3 in 1 brokerage, some initial work is to be done to set up the bank account.
