Project overview
The BMO Learning project aimed to attract newcomers to Canada as banking clients. As a team, we discovered that newcomers are often budget-conscious and unfamiliar with Canadian banking. To address this, they developed a gamified app that rewards users for learning about banking through tutorials. The app helps newcomers understand BMO's services, showcasing its advantages over competitors, with the goal of converting them into clients.
