Canada's Bank of Montreal is also known as BMO Financial Group. BMO Financial
Group is one of Canada's five largest banks, and one of the ten largest in
North America. The flag of BMO Financial Group can be seen at
http://www.financialpost.com/cms/binary/4412246.jpg?size=620x465. It
features the corporate logo on a blue field. The corporate logo shows the
letters "BMO" in white capital letters next to the bank's red and white circular
symbol. There's a thin white, horizontal line below the logo with the words "BMO
Financial Group" in white sans serif letters beneath.

The flag bears
the logo over a blue horizontal flag. The current bank logo, the M-bar, "was
the brainchild of Hans Kleefeld of Stewart & Morrison Ltd, Toronto". It was
designed in 1966 and launched in 1967.

"The Bank of Montreal
(French: Banque de Montréal), operating as BMO Financial Group and commonly
shortened to BMO was established on June 23, 1817 by John Richardson and eight
merchants (who) signed the Articles of Association. The bank officially began
conducting business on November 3, 1817, making it Canada's oldest bank. It has
acquired many other institutions throughout its corporate history, the most
significant being Harris Bankcorp, of Chicago (1984) (source:
https://history.bmo.com/bmo-acquires-harris-bank-chicago/), Nesbitt Thomson
(1987) (source:
https://history.bmo.com/bmo-nesbitt-thomson-deal/) and the latest being on
July 5, 2011, when BMO announced that it had completed the acquisition of
Milwaukee-based Marshall & Ilsley Corporation (M&I) (source:
https://history.bmo.com/marshall-ilsley-corporation-founded-milwaukee-1847-samuel-marshall-co/).
M&I merged with Harris Bank to form BMO Harris Bank N.A., part of BMO Financial
Group. This integration was completed on October 8, 2012, and all branches now
operate under the name BMO Harris Bank."

I was in Montréal last week, and noted that BMO had flags displayed
commemorating the bank's 200th Anniversary. Attached is an image that I took.
Here is the basic logo in graphic form:
