BMO Dividend Summary
Bank of Montreal is Canada's oldest bank, founded in 1817, and one of the Big Six that still run the country's deposits. It takes deposits and makes loans at home, does the same in the U.S. after buying Bank of the West, and adds wealth and capital markets. The U.S. footprint is the difference. BMO carries a Canadian Dividend Aristocrat tag, so the payout is slow and stubborn, a grower rather than a high-income name. A Big Six bank that pays because that is what these banks do.
