About BMO Bank of Montreal
BMO, founded in 1817, describes itself as Canada's first bank and is one of the Big Five.
BMO prepayment privileges
BMO publishes its prepayment privileges in its mortgage prepayment guide, and they differ between its standard fixed mortgages and its lower-privilege Smart Fixed product. We could not load BMO's pages to confirm the current percentages, so we have not repeated them — check the guide linked below before relying on a number. Model what a lump sum does to your amortization in the prepayment savings calculator.
Porting a BMO mortgage
BMO's guide describes transferring the existing terms of a fixed-rate mortgage to a new mortgage of the same type, with a blended rate if you need more money. Confirm the conditions with BMO.
How BMO calculates the penalty to break
Fixed-rate prepayment charges are the higher of three months' interest or an interest rate differential; BMO's disclosure documents describe how its comparison rate is set. Estimate the difference between the two methods in the mortgage penalty calculator.
What that means for you
If you are weighing BMO's standard fixed against a product with lower prepayment privileges, compare the privileges and the break-penalty method side by side — the cheaper rate is not always the cheaper mortgage.
How this calculator works
Canadian fixed-rate mortgages state their rate compounded semi-annually, not in advance — the convention that follows from section 6 of the federal Interest Act. The calculator converts the rate you enter into the equivalent rate for your payment frequency, so monthly, bi-weekly and weekly results stay consistent. Accelerated bi-weekly pays half the monthly amount every two weeks, which adds the equivalent of one extra monthly payment a year.
