Our commitment

Women are progress makers — challengers of the status quo, innovators, and leaders for this and the next generation. Despite this progress, 57% of women say they wish they were more confident in their financial decision-making.1


At BMO, we’re committed to real financial progress for every woman so they’re prepared to seize every opportunity. Our offerings are tailored to increase women’s confidence in their finances, reduce barriers, and make banking approachable.

Leadership and representation at BMO

At S&P 500 companies, women make up just 21% of board members and 27% of executives.2 We believe that cultivating a diverse workforce leads to innovation, better decision-making, and growth.

Progress in practise


Over 42% of BMO senior leadership roles are held by women, and half of the independent directors on BMO’s Board of Directors are women.


Since 2020, BMO has been recognized in the Report on Business, Women Lead Here list — an annual benchmark recognizing Canadian businesses with the highest achievement on executive gender diversity.
