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.
