We have been associated with BMO since 2019.Bmo and all their associates have always been there to help us with any of our financial issues. Their rates on CDs and money markets have always been competitive. Someone from BMO has always been available to assist us when any financial issues come up. Either by phone or by stopping by our local BMO bank in person.They always have time for us.Looking forward to being associated with them in years to come
We have dealt with BMO for many years. A few years ago we had the unfortunate opportunity to find out that accounts will now be charged for inactivity. What a sham! It is my money, seriously, how hard is it to let it sit?! Any time I have to go into my local bank for help with my savings or checking, I might find that I have to wait a number of hours or even days for attention. It also bothers me that the savings account rates are so low. Each time I visit the bank, the staff tries to "sell" me on the idea of opening another account to get better interest rates. When I see the low interest rates, I can see t is not worth my time. The low rates are discouraging, and while they are the norm, there was a time BMO led the banks with great rates.
For example, if I initialize a transfer from Bank-A to BMO, BMO put my transfer On-Hold and lock my account, asks me to verify my Identity.
So I called them and my Identity got verified.
I started another transfer from Bank-A to BMO, my transfer got On-Hold AGAIN and BMO asked me to verify my identity AGAIN.
A phone call may take 30 or more minutes.
My Bank Of The West sold out to BMO and I have not been able to login to my account sence . I spent about an hour and a half with the bank manager to day and he couldn't open my account ether. The only way I can access my ccount now is to take a 48 mile round trip drive and stand in front of a teller just to know my balance or any other activity on my account. Moving everything to Chase .
