Canadian Bank

Question

Canadian Bank

Hey Everyone.
So I'm trying to setup my Banking information... Any other Canadians out there?
I'm with Bank of Montreal and I've tried this but it's not working :

Branch / BranchID : 001
Account Number : ####-###
Bank Swift Code: BOFMCAM2
Sort Code :
Transit Number : 20002

I have a feeling the Transit number should be 00120002 (funny cuz online it says my transit number is 2000 but my cheques say otherwise).

The only thing is that BranchID... is that the institution ID or what? I thought transit was the branch id?

Apple, Mac OS X (10.5.1), A Macbook Pro and iMac

When I called my bank (TD) I got a swift number, a transit number and an institution number. When I called Apple, they said to combine the institution number and transit number and submit it as the transit number. They also said that I should continue adding zeros to the front until it worked.

This is how to put it in ...

Branch: 20002
Account: 1234567
Bank Swift Code: BOFMCAM2
Sort Code (leave blank)
Transit: 000120002

In Canada the transit number identifies your bank's specific branch, the 001 in your case identifies the institution ... mine for example is 004 (TD Canada Trust).

It took me a while to get it in correctly too.

Now if I could only get my **** app to compile in distribution mode instead of simply hanging at the end I'd be thrilled.
