BMO rebates typically have a longer processing time compared to other financial institutions. We recommend saving your application reference number after applying for future reference.
ℹ️ Note: If your application reference number ends in "A" or "W", please file a ticket for us after your approval.
This timeline is entirely determined by BMO's internal processes. BMO independently manages their verification process and only sends approval confirmations to us once per month (around the 15th). We have no ability to expedite this process.
Once we receive confirmation from BMO, we promptly process your rebate 10 days. Without your reference number, BMO may not be able to locate your application in their system if it's missing from their report, which is outside our control.
