You also would need to open a chequing account and maintain a $4000 balance to avoid paying a $17.95 monthly fee.
I got this offer also. Where in the T&C does it say one must also open a chequing account? I do not see it.
I am already a BMO customer and have both savings and chequing. I do use the chequing account as the link for external transfers, so it is useful in that sense.
I will bring in funds to enjoy this rate.

Is this a targeted offer? I guess so, because I don't see it anywhere, but I've missed things before. Cheers
I believe it is. It is for the smart saver account.

This is an estimated value of $216.66 in total interest. If the Savings Amplifier Account is not funded, no interest will be earned. Promotional interest will be earned on the total balance within the Savings Amplifier Account. To qualify for the Promotional Rate, you must 1.
