Dear Fido, Please add "Preferred Name" section on My Account

Hello,

 

I am enjoying quality service with Fido. 

 

I have found one concern. Having option to add preferred name with account would be beneficial for many customers. Many people, such as immigrants and LGBTQ+ people, may have different preferred name. Some immigrants may have name they prefer and use in many places although it is not an official name. LGBTQ+ people, especially transgender or non-binary people may feel stress and even feel dysphoric every time opening My Account application or webpage and chatting with customer support agent.

 

I am aware that Rogers / Fido supports the value of inclusion and diversity. And I believe having preferred name section would be beneficial for many customers, even provide some emotional support for them. 

 

There is a real case of implementation of preferred name from MasterCard, so I think it would not cause huge issue with the system. Citi/Mastercard introduced this kind of feature already.  

 

I think there should be a way to separate name on file and preferred name, since Mastercard already have done it.

So, I think preferred names should be used for:

 

- How My Account webpage / application displays customer's name to a customer 

- How customer support agent calls a customer, along with preferred pronouns

 

Thanks for reading my feedback about preferred name option.
