Online Banking: Speed and Convenience at your Fingertips

Setting up an e-Transfer via BMO’s online banking interface is quick and straightforward. Once the e-Transfer is set up, BMO typically sends it within 30 minutes. The recipient then has to accept the transfer, and if their bank supports auto-deposit, the funds are available right away.
