BMO Harris Bank's personal banking customers have had access to Zelle® for the past year
CHICAGO, Jan. 23, 2020 /CNW/ - BMO Harris Bank continues to expand its digital banking capabilities for its commercial customers with their recent launch of Payments with Zelle. The payment service makes it easy and fast for commercial clients to pay individuals in minutes without the banking information required for ACH transactions*. From rebates, to returns, to payroll or insurance payouts, Zelle can be used for nearly any purpose.
"Our Purpose at BMO is to Boldly Grow the Good, in business and life, and by providing our clients with access to Zelle, they have the option to choose the right payment method to best fit their specific need," said Sharon Haward-Laird, Head, North American Treasury & Payment Solutions, BMO Financial Group.
The service is available for all U.S. based BMO Harris commercial banking customers. While many banks throughout the U.S. have traditionally offered Zelle for person-to-person payments, commercial clients are benefitting from improved operational efficiency over other traditional payment methods. BMO is one of only eight banks that currently offer Zelle as a business-to-consumer solution.
BMO continues to drive its digitization footprint by giving clients more choices, allowing them to do business on their terms. Over the past year, BMO launched its Online Banking for Business mobile app, innovative biometric authentication and a cash flow forecasting tool for commercial banking clients.
