Written by Editorial Team | Last Updated: August 2026

Bank of the West has been officially integrated into BMO Financial Group following a massive, highly publicized cross-border corporate acquisition. Following the regulatory approval and operational consolidation of the two banking giants, all former Bank of the West branches, customer accounts, digital platforms, and ATM networks were fully rebranded and absorbed under the Bank of Montreal (BMO) brand in the United States, expanding BMO's retail and commercial banking footprint significantly across Western states.
