Branch services

We are committed to ensuring that all our customers have access to our products and services. Our branches provide level or ramped entries to accommodate customers with disabilities. Many of our branches also offer wheelchair-height seating arrangements at service counters. BMO has been applying the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards in its construction of branches since the ADA standards went into effect. 

As required by the ADA, a comprehensive plan has been developed to address other accessibility issues such as the use of service animals and providing interpreter services.
