Bank of Montreal (TSX:BMO) has introduced BMO SmartSteps for Investing, a program designed to help Canadians make sense of savings and investing.

By using the program, BMO says its customers can get clarity on how they can prepare financially for the long term by implementing straight-forward tips and advice, including how to pay less tax, protecting their investments and secure their retirement.

“Canadians want clear advice on what will work for them and their investments,” said Su McVey, vice president, BMO Bank of Montreal. “BMO SmartSteps for Investing provides customers with the tools and advice they need to prepare for the future, regardless of their current life stage.”

With the program, customers can get a clear financial picture on how much money they need to achieve long and short term goals.

In addition, customers get tips on how to pay less tax by using investments such as Tax Free Savings Accounts, and to keep a portion of their investment portfolio secure by using GICs.

“We first introduced BMO SmartSteps to provide Canadians with immediate ways to save money, become debt-free faster and manage their spending, followed by SmartSteps for Students; both of which have been met with tremendous success,” adds McVey. “BMO SmartSteps for Investing is another way BMO is helping our customers set and achieve their individual goals now and in the future.”
