"We are thrilled to open our doors for the growing community of Richmond Hill," said Betty Cheng, Branch Manager, BMO Bank of Montreal. "With the busy home buying season upon us, we encourage new and existing customers to come in and speak with one of our on-site mortgage specialists who can discuss options such as BMO's five-year fixed low-rate mortgage with a maximum 25-year amortization.
