Checking account Account opening, closing, or management California
I opened the Everyday Checking with BMO Harris over the phone in - 2016. The promotional code that I used for the $250.00 checking bonus was n't expired until - - which was after when my account was established. This code was confirmed originally by the phone agent, and the bank should have kept the recording of this phone call as proof of my claim. Moreover, I also have email proof of this promotion sent by the bank so there is no denying from the bank for refusing to honor it. The worst thing was with their customer service which seemed to have mostly been trained to tell all customers that the promotion was not from the bank at all, and the bank website has been hacked or at least the promotion page was hacked to send out this bonus. I have NEVER heard such a ridiculous response from any other financial institutions before, and it is seriously shocking to learn that a good sized bank like BMO Harris could NOT honor its bonus for whatever reason.
banking account I expect everything to be automated and did NOT have to call customer service to get it to work. This has been my experience with any other financial institutions that I 've dealt with, however BMO Harris system is different and does n't work without manual intervention. The request for refunds is for the amount of time and trouble it caused me to set it up successfully. If I received the initial temporary password that your website was supposedly to send out, I would have completed the enrollment process in no time and transferred in enough funds to waive the monthly fees. So to summarize, I 'd appreciate CFPB to work on my behalf with the bank in order for them to honor my bonus, and refund the fees charged inappropriately. Thank you very much.
