Definitions of Capitalized Terms

Footnote 1 detailsWe may offer higher interest rates when you are an Account Owner of both an existing Elite Business Money Market and BMO Elite Business Checking account. See the BMO Elite Business Checking account disclosure for details about Relationship Packages.

Footnote 2 detailsTo access the benefits in a particular Relationship Package, you must have a BMO Elite Business Checking account. Each BMO Elite Business Checking account is placed in its own Relationship Package based on the Quarterly Combined Business Balance. Except for the paper statement fee waiver, benefits begin when the BMO Elite Business Checking Account is placed in a Relationship Package and continue through the calendar quarter, regardless of any change in Account balances.

A BMO Elite Business Checking account is placed in a Relationship Package on the first calendar day of the month after the Account opening (or the account type change) occurs. Your Relationship Package may change on the first day of each subsequent calendar quarter (January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1) when the Quarterly Combined Business Balance is recalculated for quarterly placement (“Quarterly Placement”). You will receive a welcome communication with the first Relationship Package placement and a quarterly communication with each subsequent Quarterly Placement.

Footnote 3 detailsElite Business Money Market is no longer for sale as of May 4, 2025. The terms below will still apply for customers who already have an existing Elite Business Money Market and a BMO Elite Business Checking account. We may offer higher variable interest rates based on a Relationship Package. For current interest rates, ask your BMO Banker for a current Interest Rate Sheet or call 1-888-340-2265. Interest rates earned on Elite Business Money Market are based on Relationship Package placement. If the Account Owners’ BMO Elite Business Checking Accounts are placed in different Relationship Packages, the best Relationship Package will determine the interest rates earned on the Elite Business Money Market Account. Initially, the Elite Business Money Market Account earns standard interest rates. The Elite Business Money Market Account earns Relationship Package interest rates beginning on the first Business Day of the month after the Account opening (or the account type change) occurs through the end of the calendar quarter. At each Quarterly Placement, the Elite Business Money Market Account earns Relationship Package interest rates beginning on the first Business Day of the calendar quarter through the end of the calendar quarter.
