BMO Secures Triple Win in Global Finance Banking Awards

The accolades recognize BMO’s performance across its expanded North American footprint, specifically citing the bank’s progress in treasury management and liquidity solutions. CEO Darryl White attributed the success to a disciplined strategy centered on embedding AI to personalize client interactions and automate support systems. With the bank’s internal AI adoption now exceeding 96% among staff, these tools are increasingly used to drive faster decision-making and risk management.

Darrel Hackett, U.S. CEO of BMO, noted that the Western U.S. award reflects the firm’s ability to pair local relationship banking with the scale of a major institution. Meanwhile, Sharon Haward-Laird, who leads Canadian Commercial Banking and North American Integrated Solutions, emphasized that the transaction banking win validates the bank's shift toward faster, data-driven payment solutions. As of April 30, 2026, BMO manages $1.5 trillion in assets, positioning it as the eighth-largest bank in North America.
