Good customer service
Harris bank has good customer service but is lacking in products and fees. They had a good partnership with local elementary schools to help kids start saving. This was great as it gave the community a jump start and showed that they cared. I am happy I got a chance to know the local tellers and start my understanding of savings with them.
Rates May Not Be As Shown
Be careful with BMO Harris, They are trying to attract new money from outside their normal market areas. If you are in an area that has local branches, the rate is much lower.
There Are BETTER Banks To Do Business With
In the first week of account opening, BMO Harris froze my account claiming they couldn’t verify my identity. This prevented me from making deposits and withdrawals for a number of days until the matter was finally resolved after numerous calls. Also, external transfers take days to post to your BMO Harris account even though the funds are deducted immediately from your transferring bank. Investors are losing interest income during these
posting delays while BMO benefits from having the use of your money -other banks are much quicker. I will be closing my account with BMO and doing business elsewhere !
Very Disappointed With BMO Harris Investments
I had a 401k with a previous employer that was rolled over to an IRA with BMO Harris after I left. Have been trying to get it routed over to where I have the rest of my investments for a few months and it's been an absolute nightmare. Lack of direction, confusing forms and poor customer service overall. I'm a pretty patient person, but after multiple calls and a lot of time wasted it's been super frustrating. Highly recommend taking your investment funds elsewhere and saving yourself the headache.
