Bank of Montreal Park? Comerica Flailing. Selling Chatter Circulating

[Onthe405]

Toronto's MLS soccer team plays at BMO Field. Bank of Montreal uses the BMO [[pronounced B-Mow) acronym for marketing purposes. Not sure if BMO bought Comerica if or when they would dissolve the Comerica name.

It's extremely doubtful BMO would use the full Bank of Montreal name in the States. The majority of US consumers & businesses are skittish in perceiving that "their" bank is ostensibly "foreign owned". I say "ostensibly" because, in terms of shareholders, many US-chartered banks have majority stockholders from overseas--but public perception is all in the name.

Toronto Dominion Bank already has a substantial presence in the US, but they understandably market themselves with names like TD Ameritrade and TD Bank Financial Group , which masks any obvious Canadian moniker.

Other US retail banks like HSBC [[UK) and Union Bank [[Japan) also don't have any obvious indications of their international origin in the name.

When Santander bought Sovereign Bank they rebranded the SBs as Santander.
