DAA requires that BMO provide any information reasonably required solely for the purpose of confirming that you are covered by the Program.∆∆∆. Balance Transfer Welcome Offer:
a) Subject to these Terms and Conditions, each balance transfer amount is eligible for a promotional interest rate of 0% provided that each balance transfer is posted to your BMO CashBack World Elite Mastercard, BMO Ascend World Elite Mastercard, BMO Air Miles World Elite, or BMO eclipse Visa Infinite Privilege card. account (the “Account“) in the first 12 (twelve) statement periods from the Account open date (“Promotional Period”), and your Account remains in good standing. Offer is available to new customers only upon Account approval for applications submitted on or after December 15, 2025. Balances from other BMO credit card accounts are not eligible to be transferred. The promotional rate will no longer apply to your Account if you transfer into a card other than the BMO CashBack World Elite Mastercard, BMO Ascend World Elite Mastercard, or BMO Air Miles World Elite Card. Balance transfers apply to Canadian dollar amounts only.
b) Balance transfers do not qualify to earn loyalty rewards such as CashBack Rewards or BMO Rewards Points, Air Miles Points or VIPorter Points. Balance transfers are treated as cash advances and the promotional interest rate applies from the date the transactions are posted to your Account until the last day of the Promotional Period. After the Promotional Period expires, any remaining balance transfer amounts will be charged interest at the standard annual interest rate for cash advances. The promotional interest rate of 0% does not apply to purchases, fees, cash advances and other charges posted to your Account during the Promotional Period. Standard interest rates will continue to apply to those transactions. Please refer to your monthly statement for the interest rate applicable to your Account.
c) Each balance transfer is subject to a fee of 2% which will be charged to your account on the date the balance transfer is posted to your Account. For example, if an amount of $1,000 is transferred to your Account, you will be charged a fee of $20. You may request a balance transfer for as low as $100, as long as the transfer amount plus the fee, does not exceed the unused portion of the credit limit on your Account.
d) For residents outside of Quebec, if your account has balances with different interest rates, such as purchases with a standard interest rate and balance transfers with a promotional interest rate, any payment that exceeds the minimum payment will be allocated proportionately to those balances according to the terms set out in the BMO Credit Card Cardholder Agreement. For example, if you have a balance of $800 in purchases at the standard interest rate and a $200 balance transfer balance at a promotional interest rate, 80 percent of your payment will be allocated to your purchases balance and 20 percent will be allocated to your balance transfer amount balance.
For residents of Quebec, if your account has balances with different interest rates, such as purchases with a standard interest rate and balance transfers with a promotional interest rate, any payment that exceeds the minimum payment will apply first to the debt with the highest credit rate, then to other debts in decreasing order of credit rate according to the terms set out in the BMO Credit Card Cardholder Agreement. For example, if you have a balance of $800 in purchases at the standard interest rate and a $200 balance transfer balance at a promotional interest rate, and the standard interest rate is higher than the promotional interest rate, 100 percent of your payment will first be allocated to your $800 purchases balance and once the $800 is paid off, any excessive payments made will be allocated to your $200 balance transfer balance.
e) You will pay interest on purchases unless you pay your full Account balance by the payment due date. For example, if you complete a balance transfer for $5,000 and spend $2,000 in purchases during the same statement period, you must pay the entire balance of $7,000 before the payment due date to avoid paying interest on your purchases. You will be charged interest if you only pay the amount owing for your purchases. There is no interest-free grace period for cash advances or balance transfers.
f) To transfer balances from non-BMO credit card accounts, register for Online Banking or log in at bmo.com and do the following; select your Mastercard or Visa card account, then select Set up Balance Transfer or Pre-authorized payment, then select Credit Card Balance Transfer and follow the instructions to complete the transfer.
