    BMO Named One of America's Most Trusted Companies by Forbes for Second Consecutive Year
    • Recognition reflects BMO's commitment to earning trust with clients, employees, and communities

    CHICAGO, Oct. 22, 2026 /CNW/ -- BMO has been named to the Forbes 2027 list of America's Most Trusted Companies, marking the second consecutive year the bank has earned the recognition.

    The annual ranking recognizes companies that have earned the trust of their employees, customers, investors, and creditors. Forbes evaluated more than 2,000 eligible companies and ranked 300, using more than 50 metrics across five areas including employee trust, customer trust, and media sentiment.

    "Trust is the foundation of everything we do at BMO, from how we serve our clients to how we support our colleagues and invest in the communities where we live and work," said Aron Levine, President, BMO U.S. "Being recognized by Forbes for a second consecutive year is a reflection of the commitment our colleagues bring to those relationships every day."

    The Forbes methodology draws on employee ratings and workforce data, consumer research, financial performance, and media sentiment. Companies were evaluated relative to peers within their sectors before receiving an overall score.

    This recognition builds on other recent accolades for BMO, including top recognition for Responsible AI Leadership in the 2026 Evident AI Index and being named one of the 2026 World's Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere for the ninth consecutive year.
