BMO Harris Bank Savings Accounts

Horrible customer service at the BMO Harris Bank branch at University Parkway and Honore Avenue in Sarasota, Florida. I had a large money market account balance which I intended to use as a cash payment for a new condo we were buying. The bank botched up (and admitted to it!) the transfer of the funds. The transfer showed debited from my account (it was over a quarter millions dollars!) but it was not received by my closing company. It showed debited on a Friday of a holiday weekend and they were closed on the following Monday so I had to go into the branch and find out what was going on. The manager told me that "someone in the transfer department made an error" which resulted in the funds not being received. This delayed my closing for three days! At least they credited me back the wire transfer fee but I should have read the reviews prior to even opening the account there at BMO Harris! Afterwards, I removed all my funds from that bank and will never do business with them again. They need to remember that a satisfied customer MAY tell one person but a dissatisfied customer WILL tell ten!

In all my life experience, BMO is possibly the worst bank in the world. You've been warned. We opened money market account and transferred tens of thousands of dollars in and immediately they put a hold on my account then the first time I called they pretend they have no idea who I am! I had no account number and no access to the accounts we just set up. They refused to speak to me and told me to come into a bank office -- which the nearest is probably 1000 miles away. After I finally got online profile set up, today it happened again! I cannot transfer anything in or out. Every time I call I am on hold for 20 to 30 minutes and transferred between dept. They are literally insane. I have NO CONFIDENCE in this bank or the security of their services and systems; their react web services are full of mistakes and no doubt full of attack vectors. There is no senior leadership in charge of customer experience; they treat customers with disdain and have insufficient staff to deal with their processes and policies. Their policies and staff show no ration or logic; they have no critical thinking skills; this must be a disheartening place to work. BMO Harris is a model for inefficiency and how not to run a bank. This bank will only waste your time and money and make you feel miserable about the human condition!

Good interest rate and terrible customer service. I tried to transfer my money into BMO and what do you know, their trigger happy fraud department puts a block on my account. At this point, I'm not too mad, so I call up the BMO harris customer service line. First, I get redirected to a number that doesn't pickup. I call back, and they give me an email to send my confidential data.That email address rejected my message. I call back a THIRD time, they give me another email and a phone number to call. Email #2 also rejects my message, and the phone number has not picked up ONCE despite half a dozen attempts to reach it. The waste of my time is NOT worth the 2.2% interest rate offered. Consider me out you fradulent POS.

Awful. Incompetent personal bankers make every transaction an ordeal. Bank elsewhere. Awful. Incompetent personal bankers make every transaction an ordeal. Bank elsewhere. Awful.

I opened my savings account with BMO, a few years ago, when it was operated under Richfield Bank and Trust. The account was then transferred to Marshall and Ilsley, which was then transferred to BMO Harris. This is a standard savings account and operates as such. Aside from a lower interest rate, this savings account performs to my expectation of a basic account.
