$5 extra each month just for putting money into my own savings account? OKAY. BMO Harris Bank is offering a total of $60 (5 bucks a month for a maximum of 12 months) as a savings-incentive bonus if you open a new Statement Savings account.
Pro tip: maximize your bonus by also taking advantage of either of the personal checking account welcome bonuses they're offering.
How To Earn The Bonus
The BMO Harris Statement Savings promotion requires you to deposit and maintain a minimum balance in order to earn the $60 bonus.
Full requirements to receive this bonus are:
- Open a new Statement Savings account using the link below.
- Earn an extra $5 for every month you deposit at least $200 into the account, for up to 12 months.
The fine print
- Available only to those who live in Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota, Arizona, or Florida.
- If you contribute at least $200 to your account within the same month that you open the account, you'll be eligible for 12 rewards. If you don't fund your account until the next month, you're limited to 11 rewards.
- For every month that your balance on the last business day of the current month is at least $200 more than the balance on the last business day of the previous month, you'll earn $5.
- If earned, the $5 bonus will be credited to your account within 5 calendar days after the end of the month.
- You cannot combine this offer with any other personal savings bonuses, but you can stack this with a checking account welcome bonus.
Why BMO Harris Bank?
BMO Harris Bank is headquartered in Chicago, and has about 500 physical locations across 8 states. For their checking accounts, BMO expands its reach by joining the Allpoint ATM network, which gives you access to about 40,000 fee-free ATMs. They also offer online and mobile tools to help you take care of most banking tasks without needing to go in-branch.
BMO offers personal checking, savings products like accounts, MMAs and CDs, business and commercial accounts, home and auto loans, credit cards, and IRAs. They also offer their "Premier Services", which is a wealth management service that aims to help you define and work toward a financial plan.
While BMO offers more accounts and services than some of the online-only banks, most of their rates are only competitive with the big banks (read: not very high), so keep that in mind.
