Introducing BMO SmartProgress for the Canadian Defence Community

As the official bank of the Canadian Defence Community, we’re proud to introduce BMO SmartProgress for Members of the Canadian Defence Community, with financial education content tailored specifically to help our veterans and military community make real financial progress.  

First introduced in 2023, BMO SmartProgress is BMO’s financial education platform that offers educational resources on personal finances through interactive videos. BMO SmartProgress for Members of the Canadian Defence Community is the platform’s third iteration, with topics ranging from investor education, homeownership and preparing for retirement – all created with the unique needs of the Canadian military community in mind.

“BMO SmartProgress for Members of the Canadian Defence Community is a resource for our Canadian veteran and military community to enrich their understanding of important personal financial topics, helping them to make confident financial decisions for themselves and their families. Delivering these digital tools is an integral chapter in our journey to empower our veterans to make real financial progress while supporting BMO’s commitment to an inclusive society.”

Aligned with our zero barriers to inclusion strategy, this partnership is one of many ways that BMO demonstrates our dedication to the Canadian defence community – by helping them make real financial progress though understanding the unique needs of those who serve.
