Austin, TX January 30, 2024 -- Agent IQ, a pioneer in digital relationship banking and providing personalized engagement and AI-supported self-service, announced its expanded partnership with BMO (TSX: BMO) (NYSE: BMO) through the launch of “Bili”, an innovative digital tool that further enhances the bank’s Canadian online trading platform, BMO InvestorLine.

Bili, powered by Agent IQ’s personal digital engagement platform, Lynq™ provides BMO InvestorLine clients access to live chat and seamless self-service support across both the BMO Invest app and BMO InvestorLine web platform.
