BMO Commercial Clients Frequently Ask

What is the maximum limit for a commercial wire transfer?
BMO does not impose a static "one-size-fits-all" hard cap. We calculate limits based on your company's historic cash flow and the specific security permissions assigned to your approving officers. For verified corporate clients, we can safely authorize single settlements reaching into the tens of millions. BMO provides the professional scale your acquisitions require.
When is the daily cutoff for international settlements?
To ensure same-day release into the global SWIFT network, we recommend submitting your wiring instructions by 4:00 PM EST for most major currencies. Wires submitted past the cutoff are queued securely in BMO mainframe and sent at the opening of the next business day.
