How does Bank of Montreal (BMO Financial Group) compare with its peers on AI and technology?
BMO Financial Group scores 73.2 on this site's AI-index formula applied to all 140 profiles (#38), seventh of nine in its peer group. Fifth Third (81.3), Huntington (80.7) and RBC (80.2) are close together at the top, ahead of U.S. Bancorp (77.4), Scotiabank (75.5) and TD (75.3). The score measures what is on the record, not capability: BMO leads the group on its own primary disclosures and disclosed numbers but has the least independent coverage. Three things separate it from named peers. First, adoption: BMO reports AI use above 96% of employees (April 2026), 95% of teams using AI daily (August 2026) and more than 90% of its 53,000 staff on Microsoft Copilot (February 2026); RBC cites more than 72,000 employees on RBC Assist or Aiden and TD more than 40,000 on Copilot. Second, a dated money target: about C$1 billion a year of pre-provision, pre-tax income from AI by 2030 (September 2026), against RBC's C$700 million to C$1 billion of enterprise value by 2027 and TD's C$1 billion a year in the medium term, of which TD had delivered C$195 million in fiscal 2026 to July. Third, credit: Aura, a generative agent that drafts commercial credit assessments, is the first step toward roughly 50% less underwriting time by fiscal 2028. Where BMO trails: Evident's 2026 AI Index puts it in the top 20 (20th, per The Globe and Mail) and second of 50 for reported use-case outcomes, behind RBC (third overall) and TD (10th); and it reports 2,000-plus developers using AI against more than 7,000 engineers at TD and 5,500 at Scotiabank.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]

Where does BMO Financial Group lead its peers on AI?
01
The highest disclosed staff adoption among Canadian peers
BMO reports AI adoption above 96% of employees (April 2026) and 95% of teams using AI daily (August 2026), with about 10 million prompts since launch. RBC cites more than 72,000 employees on RBC Assist or Aiden (October 2026), TD more than 40,000 on Copilot (May 2026) and Scotiabank more than 71,000 with access to Scotia Intelligence (June 2026); none gives a share of the whole workforce as high.[1][2][12][4][5][13]
02
Reported outcomes ranked second of 50 by Evident
Evident's 2026 AI Index ranks BMO second of 50 banks for reported AI use-case outcomes and second for responsible AI, and BMO's Investor Day credits about $85 million of annualised fiscal 2025 revenue to personalised offers in Canadian personal and business banking. TD reports measurable impact for 20% to 25% of its use cases in the same index.[9][12][11]
03
A credit agent with a dated underwriting target
Aura drafts commercial credit-assessment commentary as the first step toward roughly 50% less underwriting time and 70% of commercial processes powered by AI by fiscal 2028, with underwriters accountable for decisions. TD's agentic mortgage model cut pre-adjudication from an average of 15 hours to under three minutes (May 2026), a retail rather than commercial use.[2][14]
04
AI framed against layoffs
BMO's chief AI and quantum officer called AI-attributed layoffs 'lazy' in June 2026, and the bank says it aims to grow while keeping headcount roughly level. TD's restructuring programme includes a workforce reduction of about 3% (January 2026); Scotiabank's full-time staff fell to 81,734 from 87,317, a fall it did not attribute to AI and that includes sold operations.[15][16][17]
Where does BMO Financial Group trail its peers on AI?
01
Behind RBC and TD on the Evident ranking
Evident's 2026 index puts BMO 20th of 50, per The Globe and Mail, while RBC is third for a fifth year and first in Canada, and TD returned to 10th from 13th. On this site's index BMO has the fewest independent sources in its nine-bank group, which is why it sits seventh despite leading on its own disclosures.[10][4][11]
02
Fewer developers on AI tools than TD or Scotiabank
BMO's Investor Day reports 2,000-plus software developers using AI against a 20% to 30% productivity target. TD reports more than 7,000 engineers using AI for development (May 2026), Scotiabank 5,500 engineers using AI for coding (June 2026), CIBC 4,000-plus developers with 20% productivity benefits, and RBC says AI has contributed to more than 24 million lines of code.[12][5][13][18][19]
03
A 2030 target where TD reports delivered value
BMO's AI money figure is a target: about C$1 billion a year of pre-provision, pre-tax income by 2030. TD reports value already delivered, about C$170 million from 75 use cases in fiscal 2025 and C$195 million in fiscal 2026 to July against a C$200 million target, and CIBC reports 3 million hours saved by AI in fiscal 2026 to May.[6][20][8][21]
Where does BMO Financial Group rank against its peers on AI disclosure?
Scores from reference score: the AI-index formula applied to all 140 profiles (0–100; 45% of the weight on independent coverage). The index measures what each bank has put on the public record and what outside outlets have reported about its AI, not capability or spending; every count is of entries on that bank's profile, each of which cites its sources.

Which banks are BMO Financial Group's peers, and why these?
Bank of Montreal (BMO Financial Group) is compared here with Royal Bank of Canada, The Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD Bank Group), The Bank of Nova Scotia (Scotiabank), CIBC Bank USA, Huntington Bancshares, Fifth Third Bancorp, U.S. Bancorp and PNC Financial Services: chosen by the editors for this page (see the note below the table). Bank of Montreal (BMO Financial Group) is classed as a universal bank headquartered in Canada.
The computed group mixed BMO with Standard Chartered, Santander, BBVA, BNP Paribas and Commonwealth Bank, so this page compares it with the Canadian banks its annual information form calls its direct competitors (RBC, TD, Scotiabank, and CIBC through its US bank, the only CIBC page here) and with the US super-regionals it meets in the Midwest and Chicago (Huntington, Fifth Third, U.S. Bancorp, PNC).
Is BMO better than RBC at AI?
The record cannot settle capability. RBC scores 80.2 on this site's index against BMO's 73.2, and Evident's 2026 index puts RBC third of 50 against BMO 20th. BMO reports the higher staff adoption (above 96%) and ranks second for reported use-case outcomes; RBC reports more AI patents (635 AI-related filings since 2019) and a larger research arm.[4][10][9][1][31]
How does BMO's AI value target compare with RBC's and TD's?
BMO targets about C$1 billion a year of pre-provision, pre-tax income from AI by 2030. RBC targets C$700 million to C$1 billion of enterprise value by 2027, net of investments, and TD C$1 billion a year in the medium term, split evenly between revenue and cost. TD alone reports delivered value: C$195 million in fiscal 2026 to July.[6][7][8]
Which Canadian bank has the highest employee AI adoption?
On the disclosed figures, BMO: adoption above 96% of employees and more than 90% of 53,000 on Microsoft Copilot. Scotiabank reports more than 71,000 employees with access to Scotia Intelligence, RBC more than 72,000 on RBC Assist or Aiden, and TD more than 40,000 on Copilot, each counted differently.[1][3][13][4][5]
Where does BMO rank in the Evident AI Index?
Evident's 2026 index, published October 6, 2026, places BMO in the top 20 of 50 banks (20th, per The Globe and Mail), second for reported AI use-case outcomes and second for responsible AI. RBC is third overall and first in Canada; TD is 10th.[9][10][4][11]
How does BMO's AI compare with US regional banks such as Huntington and Fifth Third?
Huntington reports 50 AI agents in production and 60-plus in development (April 2026); Fifth Third reports more than 1 million colleague prompts in June 2026 and more than 87% of unit testing automated. BMO's comparable figures are adoption above 96%, about 10 million prompts since launch and the Aura credit agent.[25][102][1][12][2]
Is BMO cutting jobs because of AI?
BMO says it aims to grow revenue while keeping headcount roughly level, and its chief AI and quantum officer called AI-attributed layoffs 'lazy' in June 2026. TD's restructuring includes a workforce reduction of about 3%; CIBC's CEO expects headcount to grow over five years alongside AI productivity gains.[15][16][53]
How does BMO use AI against financial crime compared with peers?
BMO's chief risk officer said at its March 2026 Investor Day that AI cut false AML alerts by about 10% and adverse-media searches from about 180 minutes to 20, and FIS names BMO among the first deployers of its Anthropic-built financial-crimes agent. Scotiabank reports a 37% fall in alert volumes in a Tangerine AML pilot.[104][105][106]
