BMO Valentine's Day Report

One Third of Canadian Couples Want to Keep Certain Aspects of Their Finances a Secret - Seite 2

Ms. Canning added that BMO has introduced the BMO® PlanShare feature to offer Canadian couples the best of both worlds by combining the finances they want to share with joint accounts, and allowing them to keep other aspects private through individual accounts, all under one plan and one fee. In addition, couples can potentially save up to $360/year on monthly bank fees*, easily transfer funds between accounts and can even nickname different accounts for easy organization.
