BMO Turns to Agentic AI to Resolve Card Issues

BMO launches an AI agent to speed up credit card dispute resolutions and streamline customer support for cardholders.

BMO is rolling out a new 'agentic' AI tool to help its customer service teams resolve credit card transaction disputes and issues faster. Unlike basic chatbots that just provide information, this AI agent can navigate complex internal systems to find answers for bank employees while they are on the phone with customers.

This move signals a shift in how major lenders handle back-office operations. By automating the data-gathering process, BMO aims to reduce hold times and improve the accuracy of dispute resolutions.

As more lenders adopt these tools, the expectation for instant customer service in the financing space will likely become the new industry standard.
