Fast Company recognizes BMO as a top workplace for innovators

July 28, 2023 | Recognition

BMO has been named one of the top 30 companies in Fast Company’s fifth annual list of Best Workplaces for Innovators. This recognition highlights the success of our Digital First strategy – BMO was the only financial institution to make the list.

Fast Company, in collaboration with Accenture, honours organizations that demonstrate an inspiring commitment to encouraging and developing innovation at all levels to “discover, explore and invent” – areas where we excel, thanks to talented teams across BMO who are transforming banking through innovation. To help foster a workplace culture where employees feel empowered to innovate, we hire employees with unconventional backgrounds and experience beyond financial services. We’ve also launched an Innovation Lab.  


“To thrive in a rapidly changing world, workplaces must actively foster a culture that gives people space to innovate from a place of courage and ingenuity. This recognition reflects BMO’s commitment to empowering employees to continually learn, experiment and find opportunities to use emerging technologies to solve complex customer and business solutions in a diverse and inclusive environment and the bank’s Digital First strategy in action.”

– Sean Ellery
Head, Digital & Innovation, Commercial Banking at BMO


BMO continues to lead the way as a digitally enabled, future-ready bank, focused on delivering leading digital experiences that help businesses grow and prosper. This recognition speaks to our commitment to delivering high-quality, frictionless banking services.
