Is the Finder reward stackable with BMO’s promotional offer?

Yes, if you meet all eligibility requirements and complete all qualifying actions, you could earn both the Finder reward and BMO’s new account offer. That means the total possible bonus you could earn could be much higher than what you would earn with the bank bonus alone.
