Can I open an account without having a social security number? I am from Canada
A social security number is not required if you are an existing BMO Canada customer and you called the cross-border banking line.

This is also true for TD, CIBC, and RBC.

Another offer to consider: CIBC has a $200 bonus for the iCan checking account. The required balance is just $500. No monthly fee. To receive the bonus, sign up for e-statements and have one direct deposit or ACH deposit within 90 days.

https://us.cibc.com/en/personal/checking.html

The bonus is lower than the BMO bonus, but the $500 requirement makes this a more accessible deal for many individuals.

And yet another one: $200 bonus on the TD Convenience account. Simply deposit $500 through direct deposit within 60 days. The account is free with a minimum $150 balance. Bonus is paid after 6 months.

Quote from hpham_53 :
That CD has an Early Withdrawal Penalty of 180 days (6 months) of forfeited interest. Too high for a 13-month CD. Most other banks will dock you only 2-3 months of interest for cashing in early a CD of 18 months or less.

I've been a BMO customer off and on since 2020, churning their checking account sign-up bonus. Last week, I looked at their 59-month CD which has a rate of 4.75% APY which is pretty good. Almost committed to open it with a large deposit until I looked at its Early Withdrawal Penalty....545 days (1.5 year) of forfeited interest. That's way too steep. So I decided to go with a 5-yr 4.10% CD at Ally which has a penalty of only 5 months of interest. I usually leave money in a CD until it matures, but there are many unexpected expenses/events that can happen in 5 years.
Thanks

Easiest is robinhood gold with monthly fee of $5. APY 4.9%, money not locked by any terms, FDIC insured for upto $1.5mil last time I checked.

Monthly fee paid by itself just for IRA 3% match. Really no need for all these CD headaches.

Granted that rate is floating for Robinhood. But for 1-2 years time frame, I think it is a better option then shoet term CD.

Or T-bond or other bill also offer better rate and flexibility.

Quote from tealapple816 :
been a bmo customer for 2 months now and never experienced such an unprofessional bank. just to give you an example, i set up an external account and moving money from bmo to that account. it took them about a week to approve it after two micro deposits into the external account. when i set up a transfer, bmo immediately placed my "profile on hold" and this has been going on for over a week. when i talk to their customer service they have no answer except that everything is ok and they will email someone else within bmo. i got bills to pay but they don't care. luckily you can circumvent this hold by initiating the transfer from the external account. i was then able to get my money but seriously. how can a bank get away with this? as soon as i get my incentive i'll leave them. banking is all about trust and if you google them, you will see how many bad reviews they have. i wish i had googled them before i opened an account.

from their website. " As of 10/3/2023, if your online checking account balance is $49,999.99 or less, you'll earn an annual percentage yield (APY) of 0.10%. If your balance is between $50,000–$99,999.99, you'll earn a 0.10% APY on your entire balance, and if your balance is $100,000 or more you'll earn a 0.10% APY on your entire balance."

why is this downvoted... checking bonus alone is good deal... combined deal even better considering 2% apy with both accounts and balance 25k... just do the 25k savings bonus with checking if changing your direct deposit isn't too big of a headache and you earn enough.
