OAKVILLE, December 15, 2008 – BMO Bank of Montreal today opened the doors to a new 9,300 square foot branch at 239 Lakeshore Road East, just two blocks east of the branch's previous location.
“We are thrilled to be able to provide our customers with the same high quality service, in our new larger, brighter space,” said Julie Petendra, Branch Manager. “In addition to our branch's team of dedicated professionals, we are pleased to announce that wealth management and investment services will be available and delivered by our on-site BMO Harris Private Banking™ Wealth Consultants and a BMO Nesbitt Burns� Investment Advisor.”
The branch is readily equipped to meet the demands of this growing city.
“Oakville boasts a fast growing population, a high employment rate, a relatively high median family income and a highly educated workforce,” said Robert Kavcic, Economist with BMO Nesbitt Burns. “Although a major employer, Ford, is currently dealing with the downshift in U.S. vehicle sales and industry restructuring, Oakville's well diversified industrial base should allow the local economy to fare relatively well during the current nationwide economic downturn.”
BMO has shown its continuous support to the Oakville community and participates in the annual Oakville Hospital Foundation Bank Bed Challenge and is a proud sponsor of local soccer teams.
Julie's team of 22 employees include:
- Financial Planner, Investment & Retirement
- BMO Nesbitt Burns� Investment Advisor
- BMO Harris Private Banking Wealth Consultants
- Mortgage Specialist
- Customer Service Representatives
- Financial Services Managers
The branch offers longer hours and will operate from:
Monday to Wednesday 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Thursday & Friday 9:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Saturday 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
The branch is also equipped with two Instabank machines for your everyday banking transactions.
