BMO Global Money Transfer is a cornerstone of its everyday banking services, supporting clients' worldwide financial needs with security and 24/7 access through its Mobile Banking app.
Mastercard Move enables financial institutions and their customers to easily send money to over 200 destinations in over 150 currencies, reaching over 10 billion endpoints, including bank accounts, mobile wallets, cards, and pick up locations, quickly, conveniently, and securely.
The Mastercard-BMO collaboration deepens both companies' commitments to powering secure and cost-effective solutions to meet the growing demand for international payment solutions for Canadians.
