**********Personal Banking: BMO provides financial savings to CDCB members by offering discounted rates for personal banking services. The program was established so that all savings would accrue to CF members/families. It has been estimated that our members collectively accrue at least one million dollars in annual savings through the CDCB program. As at 31 Mar 13, CDCB members held 10,000 BMO lead accounts.Mortgage Plans: In Feb 09, BMO began offering those CDCB members relocating under the IRP a waiver of the interest rate differential penalties above those reimbursed by the IRP (i.e. BMO capped the penalty at $5K). Since the CDCB/BMO IRP offer, at least 2,000 mortgage holders avoided interest rate penalties when their mortgages were transferred.ABM/ATM: CANEX and BMO are the only authorized NPP suppliers of ABM (full service machine) and ATM (cash machine). Since 1 Nov 08, CDCB has the first right of refusal to install ABM/ATMs at Bases/Wings. BMO is responsible for these machines in terms of their installation, maintenance and cash top-up. Since 2008, fifteen BMO ABM/ATMs have been installed directly on Bases/Wings. Support Our Troops MasterCard (SOT MC): In Nov 08, an Affinity Card Program agreement was struck with BMO to create a no-fee Support Our Troops Master Card which includes loyalty rewards for both Air Miles and Cash Back. The SOT MC provides its holders with a branded product that enables them to show their support for the troops. The SOT Master Card generates revenue for SOT based on the value of retail sales. Over the past three years, it has generated $105K for the Support Our Troops FundSponsorships:BMO has provided sponsorship for various national and local events, totalling more than $325K. For 2013, BMO is making a significant sponsorship contribution (>$40K) to the CFSU(O) Family Days; (>$50K) for Wealthy Barber Returns Event, and; (>$30K) to various local events.**
