BMO Bank of Montreal invites customers and members of the community
to celebrate the grand opening of its new full-service Eagle
Landing branch located at 8249 Eagle Landing Parkway in Chilliwack,
on Saturday, December 8, 2012.
Today, BMO also announced the donation of its former Five
Corners branch to the University of the Fraser Valley for a future
UFV business centre. The donation, the largest in UFV's history at
$1.5 million, includes renovation funds from the Chilliwack
Economic Partners Corporation.
The new branch offers customers extended banking hours,
including Saturdays, and is designed to provide a great banking
experience through a variety of financial services and
conveniences, including:
-- Two ATMs - including a drive-thru ATM;
-- Services provided in four different languages;
-- Access to commercial account and deposit services - including a night
depository for small business after-hours use; and
-- Barrier-free access.
"Chilliwack is located in the heart of the Fraser Valley's
thriving agriculture community, and as such it is an important part
of the local and provincial economies. It is also home to a number
of successful local companies and has experienced steady population
growth in recent years," said Nalla Steigvilas, Branch Manager, BMO
Bank of Montreal.
"At our new branch, the extended banking hours make it easier
for our customers to come in and speak with our team about all of
their financial needs," noted Ms. Steigvilas. "Nearly half of
businesses in B.C. surveyed for the BMO Small Business Confidence
Report predicted they will grow in 2013. Commercial clients are
clearly confident about expanding their operations and hiring
people; we encourage businesses in the Chilliwack region to get
their share of the $10 billion in credit BMO has made available,
giving them access to the capital they need to grow."
Open six days a week, the BMO Eagle Landing Chilliwack branch
hours are:
-- 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday to Wednesday;
