I do not recommend this bank! I want a cd at 5%, and they have all kinds of legal hurdles to jump through to put the CD in a living trust for my children if anything happens to me. It is documented, but they requested all kinds of documents. So, I went with my local credit union offering the same interest rate, with a whole lot less hassle and they easily accepted my living trust for my children! I refuse to work with a bank that isn't user friendly, especially if I have the money to invest in a CD! BMO doesn't deserve my business!

BMO is a very large bank with many customers and branches. I have been with it ever since it acquired a local bank in 2011 with whom I had accounts. I think that the biggest thing to take from the reviews is that they are small in number. People that are satisfied are unlikely to write reviews. If there are only 3 negative ones attributed to a bank of this scale, collectively that forms a positive review. As regards my experience with this bank, I find it at least comparable to other large banks of its size and likely a bit better than average.
