Following its October 2025 announcement to open new financial centers in key U.S. markets, BMO is now announcing more than 130 new California locations, and approximately 15 locations in Arizona. BMO operates more than 220 financial centers across California, and these new centers represent growth of more than 50% as the bank executes its multi-year expansion strategy.
As part of BMO’s broader U.S. expansion strategy, new California financial centers will span the state with seven centers planned to open in 2026 across high‑growth metropolitan areas. Planned 2026 openings include the following:
- Greater Los Angeles: Three new financial centers
- Bay Area: Two new financial centers
- San Diego: Two new financial centers
Plans for additional financial center locations will be announced at a later date.
Each new financial center is designed as a modern financial advice hub, bringing together a suite of banking expertise across personal and business banking, commercial banking and wealth management, according to BMO.
