BMO Introduces New AI-Driven Insights to Help Customers Make Real Financial Progress

Available through the BMO mobile banking app, BMO Insights uses AI technology to provide automated, personalized, and in-context insights to customers based on their day-to-day banking behaviour. Since its launch in 2019, BMO Insights has generated over 110 million insights to customers and currently has a total average customer satisfaction rating of 4.6/5.

“The introduction of these eight new insights builds on our digital and data-driven approach to money management by providing customers with a holistic view of their financial activity and spending patterns,” said Mathew Mehrotra, Chief Digital Officer, BMO Financial Group. “By meeting customers where they are and providing automated, personalized, bite-sized insights, we’re continuing to help customers make real financial progress.”

The new Insights allow customers to better understand their spending habits and budget accordingly by providing:

• ‘Where You Spend’ & ‘Spending Category’ Mini-Quizzes: Customers can learn more about their spending behaviour at frequently visited merchants, and in categories such as dining.
• High Daily Spending & New Spending Insights: Large increases in daily purchases and spending at all new merchants within the last month will be flagged to customers.
• Duplicate Transfer & Duplicate Charge Insights: Customers will be informed when duplicate transactions and duplicate transfers take place to flag potential errors.
• Salary & Cheque Deposit Insights: Customers will be notified when they receive a paycheque and cheque deposits, highlighting changes to account balances.

The new insights build on BMO’s commitment to offering a leading digital customer experience, including the recently launched Selfie ID Verification that provides customers with a convenient way to apply to open personal bank accounts and credit cards from their personal devices.
