We value our customers and are rewarding both new and existing customers for doing business with us. Recently we introduced an exciting new way for our personal customers to collect AIR MILES®1 reward miles on purchases made with their debit cards. BMO is now leading the industry in Canada by rewarding customers with reward miles for purchases made on debit cards, as well as existing rewards on credit cards. Customers also receive additional reward miles when they do more of their business with us. Since the launch of the program, we have 20% more customers set up to earn AIR MILES reward miles on their debit cards.
