BMO FAQs

How long does BMO take to approve a loan?

Once you submit your application, BMO says it will process your application within two business days.
In contrast, a Scotiabank line of credit allows you to borrow money on an as-needed basis, for instance, to cover home renovations or large purchases. However, there’s a credit limit.
Once you draw up to the limit, you need to make payments before you can draw again. That way, funds are always available without having to apply each time. Last but not least, you can make monthly payments that cover interest only, plus you have the added advantage of opting for creditor insurance.

How do you secure a BMO personal loan?

You can secure a loan by attaching an asset such as your home to the loan. Since you’re offering security that the loan will be paid, you are more likely to get approved for a higher amount at a lower interest rate. If you don’t offer any security, your loan will be unsecured.

What’s the difference between a variable and a fixed interest rate?

If your interest rate is fixed, the rate applied to the amount you owe stays the same for the length of the loan term. However, if your interest rate is variable, your rate can go up and down depending on the current BMO Prime Rate. This means your payments can also go up and down over the length of the loan term.

Can I apply for a BMO personal loan online?

Yes, you can apply if you’re an existing customer. However, if you’re unsure about what you want, you can contact BMO representatives by visiting a branch near you or calling 1-877-225-5266.
