How to Transfer Money from Your BMO Bank Account Into Your InvestorLine Non-Registered Investment Account

I recently helped coach some relatives on how to open a non-registered investment account at BMO InvestorLine. Once the account was activated, I needed to show them how to move some of their cash from their savings account into their chequing account and then into their InvestorLine account.

Moving Cash from Your BMO Chequing Account Into Your BMO InvestorLine Account

  1. Sign in to your InvestorLine account.
  2. Under the Account Services heading, click on Move Money.
  3. In the From box, click on Choose Account.
  4. From the list, select the account from which you wish the money to be taken.
  5. In the To box, click on Choose Account.
  6. From the list, select the InvestorLine account into which you want the money deposited.
  7. On the line starting with the $ under the heading How much do you want to transfer? Type the amount of funds, in Canadian Dollars, that you wish to move.
  8. Check whether the desired frequency of withdrawal is selected under the Choose a frequency heading.
    In my case, I made sure that Once was selected.
  9. If necessary, change the date for the withdrawal by selecting the Calendar icon under the Date heading.
  10. When everything looks good, click on the Continue button.
  11. Review the summary.
    If it’s ok, click on the Submit button.
  12. Make a note of your confirmation number in case you need to verify the transaction later.

You’re done! Get ready to buy some investments in your InvestorLine account!

When you are finished using your InvestorLine account, sign out. Then clear your browser history and close your browser for increased security.

How Long Will It Take To Withdraw EAP and Grant Money from My Child’s BMO InvestorLine RESP?

After all these years, it’s finally time to take some money out of our RESP at BMO InvestorLine. Fortunately, we had enough money to pay our child’s fees first and then we sent in the paperwork to make the RESP withdrawal. That meant it was simple for us to provide the required proof of enrollment. Anyway, here’s what happened and how long we waited after we submitted a request to withdraw some of the EAP payments and CESG grant money from our child’s RESP at BMO InvestorLine.

Sending in a RESP Withdrawal Form by Canada Post During Rotating Strikes

We were not desperate to get reimbursed for our child’s university fees, so we sent in the withdrawal request for the RESP to BMO InvestorLine’s head office in Toronto by mail.

Given that Canada Post was having rotating strikes at their sorting stations during this time, it was a strange choice.

How Long Did We Wait to Get Our RESP Money from BMO InvestorLine?

I put the letter in a big red Canada Post box on Friday the 2nd.

The money was in our BMO chequing account on Wednesday the 13th.

So it took 7 business days to make our first withdrawal from our child’s RESP. Not bad, considering during that time, the letter had to be picked up from a street mail box, sorted, be delivered, be sent to some BMO InvestorLine employee’s desk, get opened, reviewed, and accepted.

Overall, we were very pleased with our experience making a withdrawal from a RESP at BMO InvestorLine!
