www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Friday December 19, 2008 - 19 BMO opens new downtown branch BMO Bank of Montreal opened the doors to a new 9,300 square foot branch at 239 Lakeshore Rd. E., just two blocks east of the branch's previous location, this week. "We are thrilled to be able to provide our customers with the same high quality service, in our new larger, brighter space," said Julie Petendra, Branch Manager. The branch is equipped to meet the demands of this growing community. "Oakville boasts a fast growing population, a high employment rate, a relatively high median family income and a highly educated workforce," said Robert Kavcic, Economist with BMO Nesbitt Burns. "Although a major employer, Ford, is currently dealing with the downshift in U.S. vehicle sales and industry restructuring, Oakville's well diversified industrial base should allow the local economy to fare relatively well during the current nationwide economic downturn." BMO has shown its continuous support to the Oakville community and participates in the annual Oakville Hospital Foundation Bank Bed Challenge and is a proud sponsor of local soccer teams. The branch's 22 employees include: · financial planner, investment and retirement · BMO Nesbitt Burns investment advisor · BMO Harris private banking wealth consultants · mortgage specialist · customer service representatives · financial services managers The branch offers longer hours and will operate from Monday to Wednesday, 9:30- 4:30 p.m.; Thursday and Friday, 9:30-7 p.m.; and Saturday, 9:30-3 p.m. The branch is also equipped with two Instabank machines for your everyday banking transactions.
