I would like to hear the story on this one. I don't bank with them in any capacity so I'm not personally affected but I hope they have it up soon.

Anyone know what affect this has on the credit cards? I use BMO for credit card, nothing else.

Wonder what the cause of the problem would be.

You would think that if it was power or network related that they would just fail over to backup data center locations.

Perhaps there is a data corruption issue or something.

No wonder my CC wasn't working. That was embarrassing.

Closed all my other BMO accounts last week, thank God.

At least the online banking part is back up now, not sure about the rest.

I subscribe to an online flight sim, and was wondering why they emailed me saying my payment didn't go through automatically as per usual. I knew that online banking was down as I couldn't log in, but credit cards being affected is scary.

Online banking has been down again all day. Haven't tried using the CC since it wasn't working the other day. Just going to cancel the friggin' thing, luckily already closed everything else I had with BMO just before this happened.

So do I get to go in there and ask for a $42.50 NSF fee?
