True NameTM by Mastercard
For many in the 2SLGBTQ+ community, the name on their credit or debit card does not match their true identity. The True NameTM feature enables people to use their true name on their BMO Harris credit or debit card.
We deposited rainbows.
And made a change.
Thank you for helping us turn a symbol of pride into a symbol of action in support of the 2SLGBTQ+ community.
Together, we reached our goal of depositing over 50,000 rainbow images resulting in a $50,000 donation to Rainbow Railroad, a non-profit organization that helps persecuted members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community find safety.
This campaign is now closed. However, you can still explore the thousands of rainbows deposited from around the world and learn about ongoing BMO initiatives aimed at supporting the 2SLGBTQ+ community.

Rainbows at Their Roots
In 1978, artist Gilbert Baker designed the first rainbow flag, which quickly became an iconic symbol of 2SLGBTQ+ pride.
Today, we see rainbows displayed everywhere – so much so that it makes some wonder if this symbol has lost the meaningful action once associated with it.
This initiative is meant to return the rainbow to its roots as a symbol of action by giving it real value in support of Rainbow Railroad’s efforts to help 2SLGBTQ+ individuals escape persecution.
For every rainbow deposited between June 1–August 31, BMO will donate $1 to the Rainbow Railroad, up to a maximum of $50,000 CAD.
This is an enterprise BMO Harris/Bank of Montreal initiative.
