Meet Matt:

Matt Neveu is Vice President, Indigenous Banking for Ontario at BMO Bank of Montreal. In this role, he leads strategic relationships with First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities, governments, and Indigenousowned businesses, supporting communitydriven economic development and longterm financial sustainability across the province. 

Matt brings a strong professional background in commercial and relationship banking, with experience supporting complex organizations through tailored financing solutions, strategic advisory, and longterm partnership development. Throughout his career, he has worked closely with leadership teams to navigate growth, transformation, and governance considerations, with a focus on building trust and delivering value through a relationshipbased approach. 

A member of Batchewana First Nation, Matt brings both professional expertise and lived experience to his work. He approaches Indigenous banking with a deep respect for Indigenous rights, culture, and governance, and an understanding that meaningful financial solutions must align with each community’s unique priorities and longterm vision. 

Matt is deeply committed to advancing economic reconciliation through his role at BMO. He works collaboratively with Indigenous leadership to support communitydriven priorities, respectful governance, and sustainable financial outcomes. Guided by a culturally informed and clientcentred approach, he focuses on delivering flexible banking solutions that support selfdetermination, capacity building, and generational prosperity. He is equally committed to strengthening trust between Indigenous communities and the financial sector and to championing inclusive banking practices that enable Indigenousled growth across Ontario.
