North American (NAFTA) Treasury Management Services
If you are looking to expand your operations into Canada or Mexico, or if you need to streamline your existing banking relationships in North America, Wachovia can provide you with centralized solutions to help you manage all of your Treasury Management needs throughout the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
Our partnership with Bank of Montreal (BMO Financial Group) in Canada, and BBVA Bancomer in Mexico, allows us to leverage these banks' extensive networks to meet all of your company's treasury needs in these important markets. In addition to providing access to leading banks in their local markets, our customer care model also allows you to deal directly with Wachovia for all servicing and account operation issues, thereby removing the costs and administrative burden often associated with dealing directly with multiple foreign banks.

EFT payments can be sent from any of your Canadian accounts to accounts at any Canadian Financial Institutions.
