WINNIPEG,
February 9, 2009 – BMO Bank of Montreal today officially
opened a new 5,800 square foot branch located at 1083 McPhillips
Street, featuring expanded services and staff and added convenience
for customers.
The branch is home to a team of 16 personal banking and investment professionals
who are eager to provide a great customer experience to all new and existing
BMO customers.
“We are committed to making money make sense for every one of
our customers, by bringing clarity to the complexities of money,” said
John MacAulay, Vice-President, Manitoba & Northwest Ontario District,
BMO Bank of Montreal. ”This commitment has never been more relevant
than it is now given today’s economic realities.”
“We have additional space in our new branch to better serve our
customers and look forward to offer a wider range of services under one
roof,” said Branch Manager Rita Maubert.
For added convenience, the new McPhillips branch features three Instabank
machines for everyday financial transactions, including a drive-thru
ABM, as well as ample free parking.
The branch also offers longer hours and will operate from:
Monday to Wednesday 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Thursday 9:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Friday 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
BMO is offering a $100 cash deposit to all new customers who open a
new chequing account, with a recurring pre-authorized debit or credit,
between February 9 and March 13.
“This is a great time for first-time homebuyers to come in and talk to
us given the low current mortgage rates. We can help remove the complexity
that comes with such a purchase and provide them with the BMO First
Home Essentials kit designed specifically to meet their needs,” said
Mrs. Maubert.
“Plus if you’re one of the millions of AIR MILES collectors
in Canada, we have another reason for you to bank with BMO,” said
John MacAulay. “No other bank can help you collect faster and redeem
more quickly because we are the only major financial institution that
rewards debit and credit card purchases, including online purchases,
with access to a comprehensive choice of more than 800 reward and travel
options,” he added.
The existing BMO
branch at Mountain & McPhillips Street will cease
its operations on February 6.
