BMO Financial Group, and its subsidiaries BMO Financial Corp. and BMO Harris Bank, completed the acquisition of Bank of the West from BNP Paribas.

BMO’s acquisition of Bank of the West brings nearly 1.8 million customers to BMO and extends its banking presence through more than 500 additional branches and commercial and wealth offices in the United States.

Until conversion of the banks’ systems, expected in early September 2023, customers will continue to be served through their respective BMO and Bank of the West branches, websites and mobile applications. In the coming months, BMO will provide Bank of the West customers with information about how the combined bank will serve them, including the plan for the conversion of their accounts.
