BMO is driving positive, lasting change to the U.S. economy through BMO Empower, sustainability efforts and its recent acquisition of Bank of the West and resulting global partnership with BNP Paribas.

BMO is building a digitally enabled, future-ready bank all powered by a winning culture and driven by the company’s purpose, which is to “boldly grow the good in business and in life.”

BMO’s strategy connects its growth to driving positive, lasting change in the world. The company is committed to facilitating progress toward a thriving economy, a sustainable future and a more inclusive society with zero barriers. BMO has deployed more than $5.5 billion in loans and investments in the past two years as part of a program called BMO Empower, exceeding the company’s commitment of $5 billion over five years, to advance an inclusive economic recovery by addressing key barriers faced by U.S. minority businesses, communities and families. BMO has also delivered $300 billion in capital to clients pursuing sutainable outcomes through green, social and sustainable lending, underwriting, advisory services and investment.

A critical part of BMO’s culture is a dedication to meeting customers where they are, and BMO’s recent acquisition of Bank of the West and resulting global partnership with BNP Paribas has allowed the company to do just that with a vast expansion of BMO’s international and U.S. footprint. Completed in February, the acquisition brought nearly 1.8 million customers to BMO and extended its banking presence through more than 500 additional branches and commercial and wealth offices in the United States.

Through its growth and innovation, BMO will continue to provide an entire suite of products, including asset-based lending and sustainability- linked financing, to its clients under the company’s “one bank” approach.

“Innovation is a part of the culture at BMO, with a constant drive to do things better and simpler for our customers and employees.”
