BMO mortgage rates overview

The Bank of Montreal (BMO) offers an extensive range of mortgage options that allow combinations of variable and fixed rates, with open, closed, and convertible terms. Mortgages come in a variety of shapes and sizes. So whether you want to make a large down payment or a small one, pay off your mortgage at any time or make additional payments without penalty, or try out a short-term mortgage before committing to a long-term fixed rate, there are many BMO mortgage rates available to suit your needs.

BMO mortgage rates come with an option of open, closed, or convertible terms, all three of which are defined in detail below.

An open mortgage gives you the freedom to make extra payments, any time without penalties. You can pay off your mortgage faster as a result and save money on interest payments. If you expect your income to increase over the mortgage term, an open mortgage allows you to pay off your debt faster. However, you can expect higher interest rates than with a closed mortgage because of the inherent flexibility.

A closed mortgage has lower interest rates, but does not generally allow additional payments without penalties. Closed mortgages are more popular, however, because they are generally accompanied by lower interest rates.

A convertible mortgage is a short-term closed mortgage that allows you to convert to a longer fixed rate term without penalty, possibly to take advantage of low interest rates.

BMO outlines the features and suitability of their open, closed and convertible mortgage options, which are summarized below:

Mortgage Type	Features	Suitability
Open 6-month, 1-year, and 18-year	Maximum flexibility Prepay in full or in part at any time with no prepayment charge Change to another term at any time without charge	Thinking of selling your home Want to prepay more than 20% of your mortgage amount Believe rates will decline
Convertible 6-month	Convert to a closed term of 1 year or longer at any time, without charge Mortgage prepayments	Want to keep your options open Want lower rates than an open mortgage of the same term
Closed 1 to 7 years, and 10-year	Interest rate and payments are fixed for the term you choose Mortgage Prepayments	Want to budget with certainty Want a lower rate than an open mortgage of the same term
Closed 5-year	Interest rate and payments are fixed for the term you choose Mortgage prepayments	Want to budget with certainty Want lower rates than a fixed rate closed mortgage of the same term Want a simple, easy to understand mortgage with a low rate
