Connect BMO to Mozaic: every BMO account, alongside everything else.

BMO Online Banking, connected through Plaid

BMO connects through Plaid, like the other major Canadian banks. When you pick BMO inside Mozaic, Plaid Link opens a secure, encrypted window and you enter your BMO card number (or username) and password there, the same credentials you use on BMO Online Banking. Plaid verifies them with BMO and returns a read-only access token to Mozaic. Mozaic never sees or stores your password. If your BMO profile uses a security challenge (typically a verification code by SMS or email), Plaid Link prompts you for it during setup, the same step you'd get signing in to BMO online.

Once the connection is authorised, your accounts appear in the app within a minute and a rolling sync schedule keeps them current. Like other Canadian bank links, the BMO connection re-confirms access every few months. Mozaic surfaces an in-app reconnect prompt ahead of time so the connection doesn't quietly fail.

Chequing, savings, Mastercards, mortgages, and ReadiLine. All of it

Mozaic reads every product BMO exposes through Plaid. Deposit side: Performance Plan, Premium Plan, Plus, Practical, the Savings Builder and Premium Rate Savings tiered buckets, the US Dollar Premium Savings account, and the TFSA and RRSP cash savings accounts. Credit side: BMO eclipse Visa Infinite, CashBack World Elite Mastercard, AIR MILES World Elite, Preferred Rate Mastercard, CashBack Mastercard, and any business-card lines you hold on the same profile. Liabilities: BMO Homeowner ReadiLine (HELOC), personal lines of credit, and BMO mortgages, each with current rate and principal-paid trend.

The BMO Debit Mastercard sits in the chequing section, not the credit-card section. It's a debit card on the Mastercard network backed by your BMO chequing balance, not a separate liability. Mozaic categorises it as a chequing-tied debit instrument so the chequing balance doesn't get double-counted.

The Debit Mastercard, BMO InvestorLine, and the ReadiLine

The BMO Debit Mastercard trips up other personal-finance apps because it has a Mastercard PAN but isn't a credit card. Mozaic reads it from Plaid as a chequing-tied debit instrument. Your chequing balance is the source of funds, and the Mastercard part is just the network used at non-Interac merchants. The result: one chequing balance, no double-counting.

BMO InvestorLine accounts are not part of this connection. InvestorLine lives on a different system from BMO Online Banking and Mozaic reaches it through SnapTrade rather than Plaid. The flow is similar (sign in at BMO, authorise read-only), but the token is held by SnapTrade. Both integrations sit in your Mozaic accounts list and refresh independently.

The BMO Homeowner ReadiLine is BMO's home-equity-line-of-credit product, structured so the line of credit limit grows as the secured mortgage principal pays down. Mozaic reads it as a separate liability from the underlying mortgage (same property, two products), so the cash-flow narrative can tell the fixed-rate mortgage interest apart from the variable-rate HELOC interest.

BMO sits in a bigger picture once it's connected

BMO is the oldest Canadian bank, founded in 1817, and the fourth-largest by deposits. For a lot of Mozaic users it's the legacy account; for others it's the primary chequing where the paycheque lands. Either way, the point of connecting BMO isn't to see your BMO balance. BMO Online Banking does that already. The point is to see BMO alongside everything else: your Wealthsimple TFSA, your InvestorLine RRSP, the US-dollar account you keep with BMO Harris for cross-border spending. Mozaic composes them into one net-worth line in your reporting currency, narrates cash flow across the whole picture, and tracks goals against the accounts that fund them.

The institution is just the start of the story. The rest is what your money is doing across institutions.
