<p>So my local bank account is a credit union, and I need to switch to something bigger in order to access my money more easily in Montreal. I think I'll go with BMO (no fees etc), but I was wondering if anyone had experiences/preferences etc. in regards to Montreal banks or student accounts? Any help would be really appreciated, it's the last big thing I have to deal with :)</p>
<p>Where are you from?</p>
<p>If you’re from Canada, I can’t really say which bank to go with, but if you’re from the US, you’d be best off with a US account at a Canadian bank.
TD has a large branch network in the Northeast, RBC in the Southeast, and BMO/Harris in Chicagoland. All offer free access to Canadian ABMs to US account holders.</p>
