Bank of Montreal (ISIN CA0636711016) traded at EUR 149.33 at Lang & Schwarz on October 19, 2026 at 10:16 a.m. CEST as a U.S. regulatory review placed its customer-access policies under scrutiny. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency named BMO among nine banks in a report released on October 14, 2026.

OCC review raises policy questions

According to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the review examined nearly 100,000 complaints and about 420,000 pages of documents covering policies from 2020 through September 2025. The regulator said broad reputation-risk frameworks lacked clear and objective criteria and could restrict access to financial services because of political, religious or social views or lawful business activities.

The report cited a 2022 BMO review involving a customer that manufactured empty firearm magazines and other tactical products. BMO required continuing monitoring, including a quarterly condition that tactical sales remain below 30 percent of total sales, according to Wealth Professional.

What do the latest results show?

Bank of Montreal's third-quarter 2026 revenue reached CA$9.10 billion, up 11 percent from the third quarter of 2025, while net income fell 26 percent to CA$1.67 billion. Earnings per share declined to CA$2.38 from CA$3.14, while revenue exceeded analyst estimates by 1.1 percent, according to Simply Wall St. The contrast leaves regulatory execution and earnings quality as the two clearest investor reference points.

Three dated BMO developments

On October 2, 2026, BMO and Mastercard made an embedded commercial payments capability available in Canada and the United States. On October 14, 2026, the OCC named BMO in its nine-bank debanking review, according to the OCC.
