$25 for your kids!

BMO is offering a $25 bonus to children under 16 when you open an account before April 30,2011 and deposit $25. Bonus will be paid in 60 days.
Details are here. My kids are excited as this is an easy $25 and they need a bank account where they can go into a branch as their other one is an online account. I hope your kids can cash in!!
