What is the Banking Without Borders (BWB) Program?

BMO sells its Canadian Treasury Management product suite to Correspondent Banks headquartered in US, Canada, Europe or Asia

The Correspondent Bank then “resells” these cash management products to their client base to enable these clients to bank in Canada, while maintaining one single banking relationship with them, their primary provider

The Correspondent Bank controls the account and remains the primary contact with their client

BMO has been working with correspondent banking partners for over 20 years and currently have over a 12 partners on the BWB Program

Our program is flexible - we work with our partners to tailor our offer to their needs

Demonstrated success at driving value for correspondent banks and their clients

Competitor’s Offerings

Of the 6 major financial institutions in Canada only a few offer a similar program to BMO’s Banking without Borders

Their offerings are typically a more standard offering that does not allow them the flexibility of the Banking without Borders Program

BMO has a dedicated group that has been trained to deal specifically with Financial Institutions on the program. This enables them to have the experience to troubleshoot issues effectively and make recommendations

BMO offers a training program to the sales groups of our partners so that they can develop their understanding of the program and the benefit to their clients

Agreements With Trigger Blocked Account operates within the normal parameters established within the Agreement.

Written notice in the form of Trigger Notice from Lender is supplied to Bank of Montreal

Upon receipt of Trigger Notice, Bank of Montreal will require up to two (2) business days – as per Section 4. of Blocked Account Agreement- to implement the necessary changes required by the Trigger Notice. Accordingly Bank of Montreal will act upon the received notice and instruct their processing center to block all debit transactions relating to the Blocked account

Processing center will block all debit transactions and allow credit transactions to the Blocked Account

Bank of Montreal will transfer account balance to Collection Account.
