Effective until October 31, 2007 customers who take out a five-year term mortgage or renew or refinance an existing mortgage for a five-year term will receive BMO's Performance Plan with unlimited transactions for free over the term – a savings of more than $800, which in some cases could translate into an extra mortgage payment.
