BMO Harris BankReviews of bmoharris.com

Opened an account in April 2022. 3 days later my account was suddenly frozen by Kelsey Thompson from Fraud Dept. She requested 3 pieces of documents to prove my identity in order to un-freeze my account or it will be closed. I just moved to my new house and so I cannot provide the utility bill that she asked for. So, I agreed that she can close my account because of this. she sent a letter to me by post to confirm this decision a week later. However, 3 months passed and I can still see my frozen account sitting there without being closed. Everytime I called them (both Fraud dept and general BMO customer service) they still ask me to prove 3 forms of documents to un-freeze my account. I am very confused because you said you want to close my account. Why I still need to provide these documents now? They said if I don't provide the documents physically in a branch it will take a very long time to close it naturally. I don't have a branch in my state and of course I won't book a flight and hotel just fly to another State just to show them my documents. The worst thing is they started the whole issue from freezing my account, wanting to close it, not closing it and then requesting me to go to a branch to do nonsense. Even putting aside my account issue, every time I called them to explain my situation, all the customer representatives were so rude. They either never answered my call, promised to call back but never, or passed me to an irrelevant department that ends up wasting so much time. I didn't do anything wrong. The only mistake I made was to open an account with you in April. I didn't feel I was treated as a human honestly. I just want to say this is the worst banking experience I ever have in my life indeed.

Call their Fraud HOTLINE after your card gets hacked. Here is the number (262) 641-1998, call it! Let us know how many hundreds of times you had to call for them to actually pickup. Ive been callkmg for over 24 hours and they never answer. I had to contact the CFPB to report this as horrible customer service. I even contacted 2 branch managers and they cant get them to answer or call back either. In my opinion - banks that act in this manner should recieve a well deserved MASSIVE FINE. This is exactly what horrible customer service is all aboit and they still just dont give a sh!t... PATHETIC BANKING AT ITS WORSE! DO SOMETHING ALREADY

Deactivated my account since it wasn't being used for a couple of months... Then I have to make a new one and go to activate my card at a gas station. They transfer me and expect me to wait 40 minutes to ACTIVATE my card. Get more staff or don't transfer someone for no reason who entered all the information correctly! I wanted to swap banks for a better experience and now I'm choosing to let you guys "Cancel my account" by yourselves again because of this poor service.

worst online banking experience ever trying to access my car loan and they keep telling me i have wrong number i just want to know how much i have i owe on it so i can pay it off. I will never do any banking here again

Limited online functionality so have to call customer service each time and wait 30 minutes+ to speak with a rep who is helpless to do anything.

Worst bank ever. They froze my account or no reason! I can`t use my money since summer! I think this is a fraud. Do not use this bank!!!!!!!

I use BMO Harris only because the company bought Diner's Club from another bank a few years ago. I have banked with many entities, ranging from small credit unions to large, multinational banks, and just about everything in between. My work has required domestic and international travel for my entire 40 year career, so I've seen it all. Between my Amex and Diner's accounts, there isn't much a traveler would need, so I rely heavily on both and wouldn't think of getting rid of either. However, since BMO Harris took over Diner's, for me it's been nothing but trouble, hassle, absolutely horrendous - no, nonexistent - "customer service". I cannot say enough about how bad my experiences have been. The company forced closure of the old Diner's website, which was simple and intuitive, and provided easy, fast access to information and accounting tools, and changed it over so that Diner's account had to join the HORRIBLE BMO Harris site. The information needed to manage an account properly is almost hidden, and in my view, the site is incredibly un-intuitive and user-unfriendly. Evidently, you can't even change your personal information and contacts online; I tried by contacting them through their website but I was told that I would have to call them with the information. This is incredible - they are not only creating more work for themselves with this policy, but making more work for their customers, not to mention the ill will. Other normal online credit card management options are unavailable to Diner's users, also, it seems. The telephone reps, when I could get through, have been consistently uninterested in hearing my difficulties, offered seemingly pre-canned excuses, and have even been downright nasty at times - shockingly so! It's also my opinion that payments are slower to be credited with BMO than with any other bank I use. If not for the very nice Diners Club services provided to travelers (features that were made available long before BMO got its hooks into Diners), I would trash this account. I thank my stars I don't have to bank with BMO Harris in any other capacity, and one day, when my life requires less travel, it will give me great pleasure to terminate my BMO Harris account.

Terrible bank, will freeze your account without any explanation and doesnt allow to withdraw funds. Please stay away from this bank ((((
