BMO System Crashes For a Short Period

Posted By: Dave Bradley · 11/2/2012 1:10:00 PM

A rough start to a Friday for those of you who use the Bank of Montreal.

Service was knocked out at around 10:30, leaving people who wanted to use their credit cards, debit cards and ATM's, out of luck.

The company says they suffered 'technical difficuties' but had the service back up and running in a short time.

    service ISN'T "up and running in a short time".....I can access my account but can't make any transactions....even between accounts via the internet....its almost 15h00hrs and I'm not the only customer who's miffed....

    This is unbelievable - I found this out trying to pay for my groceries this morning. All my cards were declined. After 10 minutes of waiting I was told they were "upgrading their systems" - what rubbish! I was advised to call back in an hour. I explained that I was the customer here and why they call me back....can you hear the crickets?!?

    I then went to my branch to try and get some cash. I was told this was because of the recent storm - really??? Why not blame Y2K.......

    They also said that all the other major banks were in the same position........

    Please, please - why not just have the temerity to be honest and say what's really going on...people can handle the truth much more than the spin...
