I applied online. I interviewed at BMO Financial Group in Jul 2025
Interview
The digital video interview for the BMO Associate Banker role is a pre-recorded, one-way interview, meaning you’ll record your responses to questions without a live interviewer.
• A time limit per question (e.g., 1–2 minutes to respond)
• A short prep time (e.g., 30 seconds to read the question)
• One or two chances to re-record (depending on settings)
