TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 3, 2011) - BMO Bank of Montreal invites members of the community to celebrate the opening of the newly renovated and re-opened BMO branch at Danforth & Ferrier, located in Greektown, Toronto.

"The renovation of this branch represents BMO's longstanding commitment and investment in the Greektown community," said Voula Themeliopoulos, Branch Manager, BMO Bank of Montreal. "As we re-open our doors to this vibrant community, we encourage new and existing customers to come in and discuss BMO's unique home-buying options such as our five-year fixed low-rate mortgage with a maximum 25-year amortization, or the BMO's Eco Smart mortgage, both of which can help save homeowners thousands of dollars over time and become mortgage free faster."

According to BMO Economics, interest rates remain near historic lows, and prospects for the Bank of Canada to raise interest rates are being pushed back to late 2011. These factors combined provide more opportunities for those looking to buy a home this season.

"Now that we are into the thick of home-buying season, and to celebrate the re-opening of our branch, we are offering new and existing customers a chance to win $1000 when they sign up for one of our mortgage products before June 30, 2011," added Ms. Themeliopoulos.

BMO's new state-of-the-art branch provides a broad range of financial services such as an in-house mortgage specialist, an investment advisor, financial planners, and a BMO Nesbitt Burns representative. Customers can also expect increased banking conveniences, including:

• Services provided in four languages including English, Greek, Tagalog, and Portuguese;
• Access to commercial account and deposit services;
• Two Instabank automated banking machines (ABMs);
• Private client meeting rooms; and
• Full wheelchair accessibility.
