Horribly confusing bank, so regrettable that they have entered the California market so aggressively. Customer service doesn’t talk to mortgage, mortgage doesn’t work with collections. So many times have I sat on the phone trying to understand simple timing of deposit to mortgage payment timing and no one has answers. Easy bank to get money out - though impossible to receive intelligent service. The branch is fine, BMO is the worst bank I have ever dealt with.

I initially chose BMO on Shattuck Ave in Berkeley because I wanted to support a local neighborhood institution I could rely on—biggest mistake ever. From the beginning, I was upfront about my intentions of opening the account, explaining that the funds were needed for a home purchase. I provided all necessary paperwork and even discussed my situation over the phone before scheduling an appointment. Despite these efforts, the bank placed unexpected 10-day holds on my checks, even after confirming there would be "no holds." On... read more
