Helping homeowners
BMO partners with various non-profit agencies to offer first time home buyers, on average, $6,000 in down payment assistance. Financial education combined with this assistance sets up future homeowners for success and allows them to save their money for the unexpected.

The program has had a significant impact in bringing financial stability to families in need, as highlighted in this customer testimonial:
