Partnering for a Successful Branch Reimage for National Banking Leader

BMO, a leading North American bank since 1817, has long been committed to providing exceptional financial services to individuals and businesses. To reinforce its brand identity and enhance customer experience, BMO has consistently sought strategic partnerships with industry-leading providers.

Philadelphia Sign, part of the PSCO Sign Group, is a trusted partner of BMO and has played a pivotal role in supporting the bank’s nationwide branding initiatives. As BMO expands its footprint, Philadelphia Sign has been instrumental in ensuring a seamless and successful rebranding process.

One of the most significant undertakings was the acquisition of the Bank of the West. BMO needed to quickly complete a brand conversion for over 90 branches in just one weekend. This ambitious project presented numerous challenges, including adhering to strict banking regulations and maintaining operational continuity.

Philadelphia Sign rose to the occasion, successfully transforming 96 locations in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming to the BMO brand. The comprehensive rebranding included: exterior channel letters, blade signs, freestanding pylons and monument signs, ATM enclosures, vinyl graphics, directional signage, parking lot signs, and awnings.

The successful implementation of this signage rebrand program marked a significant milestone for BMO. It demonstrated the bank’s commitment to providing a consistent and cohesive customer experience across all locations. Building on this success, BMO and Philadelphia Sign have continued their partnership, with similar rebranding efforts undertaken in the Midwest and Florida.

Through these collaborative efforts, BMO has successfully strengthened its brand identity and enhanced its customer experience. Philadelphia Sign’s expertise in signage design, fabrication, and installation has been instrumental in achieving these goals. As BMO continues to grow and evolve, Philadelphia Sign remains a dedicated partner, committed to delivering exceptional signage solutions that support the bank’s vision.
