According to a BMO Bank of Montreal survey, 43 per cent of Canadians now own a tablet device and many of them are using them to stay organized and conduct daily activities while on the go - including banking and investing.
The report, conducted by Pollara, revealed how tablet users are integrating their mobile tools into their day to day routines:
"Today, customers expect to have online tools that allow them to manage all aspects of their day-to-day lives, from streamlining their retail shopping to staying on top of their investments while on the go," said Cesar Rainusso, Vice President & Head of Digital Channels, BMO Financial Group. "We know our customers value access to their finances from mobile devices. In fact, we've seen adoption for these tools increase by approximately 60 per cent in the past year alone."

Mr. Rainusso added that BMO recently launched the BMO Banking & InvestorLine iPad app which offers customers access to personal banking and self-directed investing services along with a personal finance management tool - the first from a major Canadian bank.

The survey results cited in the Tablet Study conducted by Pollara are compiled from a random sample of 1201 Canadians 18 years of age and over between December 5th and 9th, 2014. A probability sample of this size would yield results accurate to +/- 2.8 per cent, 19 times out of 20. Results have been weighted using the latest census data to be representative of Canadians as a whole.
The Millennial and Mobile Banking survey results are from interviews with an online sample of 1,000 Canadians who own a mobile device (either a Smart Phone or tablet), with 325 of these being in the Millennials age group (under 35). The survey was conducted between April 25th and 28th, 2014. As a guideline, a probability sample of 1000 would yield results accurate to +/- 3.1%, 19 times out of 20, while a probability sample of 325 would yield results accurate to +/- 5.4%, 19 times out of 20.
