The new feature is the latest step in BMO's ongoing commitment to building a digitally enabled, future-ready bank.
BMO Global Money Transfer is available 24/7 through BMO's mobile banking app and offers greater flexibility and affordability with a $5 fee per transaction. The product also includes an easy-to-use 'Send Again' function for recurring transactions. Additional unique features include a currency watchlist and notifications allowing customers to track the status of transactions.
"With most of our customers being digitally active, we're excited to offer a convenient new feature to send money internationally through the BMO mobile banking app," said Gayle Ramsay, Head, Everyday Banking, Segments and Customer Growth, BMO Bank of Montreal. "Being able to easily reach loved ones overseas is important to helping our customers make real financial progress, especially during the holiday season. BMO is committed to meeting customers where they are and providing convenient digital solutions to meet their everyday banking needs."
The service fee will be waived for all BMO retail banking customers until January 31, 2022. Newcomers to Canada, BMO Premium and Private Banking customers will continue to benefit from no service fees.
Looking forward, BMO Global Money Transfer will be available through the Online Banking platform in early 2022.
BMO's new global money transfer capability builds on its commitment to offering a leading digital customer experience, including new AI-Driven Insights and Selfie ID verification solution, which provides customers with a convenient way to verify their identity when opening personal bank accounts and credit cards from their personal devices.
