Logging into BMO Online Banking in Canada

Today the only site I cannot get a proper login page to is my main bank which is BMO Bank of Montreal in Canada. It will not give me the usual sing in page with a spot for your Debit Card # and Password.


I do not store my password on the iMac.


I can access all other Banks and web sites that I frequent - it is just BMO.


Has anyone else had this problem. I cleared the cache, the cookies and all other stuff and rebooted the computer but no luck.


Any help would be appreciated - I also tried on my wife's MacBook Pro and it was the same thing - the browser is the standard google browser and it works with all other sites I frequent.

Today is December 28. I wanted to alert anyone who is interested that I was quite able to login to the old BMO Online site and conduct my banking without having to disable extensions or any of the other measures previously required.


I have no issue with this, other than their response are I am old, out of date and will not work with the Bank Of Montreal.


I am firmly of the opinion that the people who respond to messages sent through the BMO site have ZERO idea what is going on and further that the LEFT Hand does NOT know what the Right Hand is doing.


Apparently I am NOT supposed to be able to login to their site - and by that I suppose they mean their 'new shell' interface which I believe is the issue.


Give it a try and let us know if indeed everyone is now for some reason able to log into the site.


Thank you and regards,

Dec 29th here and same problem. When I called BMO, was told by the CR that the problem was Apple's 'since they updated their OS'. No use trying to explain how wrong she was. I was connected to a manager who said BMO has been aware of the problem since Dec 11th for 'some users'. And that there is no fix expected. BMO have always been technologically behind the other big banks in Canada. Firefox v108 access seems to work ok, and that is my preferred choice over Chrome.

I have been having the same problem with BMO online banking login for the last week. Have tried numerous ways to try and correct and no luck. All other websites including banks with online logins work well with Safari. Have used Chrome and no problem signing in to BMO banking and using as normally would. I am using an 2014 MacBook Pro with High Sierra(10.13) but have recently bought a MacBook M2 Air with Ventura and Safari sign on to BMO online banking works fine. On my 2014 MBP I also run parallels on this laptop with Catalina OS (10.15) and Safari login to BMO online banking works fine also. This leads me believe that the Safari earlier than with High Sierra is not compatible with BMO Login as previously suggested. I got fed up playing around and finally searched problems with BMO sign in and found these support post. I hope this information will help. The only options now for me is to use Chrome instead of old Safari, login on newer machine or wait for BMO to get act together.

I too uninstalled Google Chrome - they harvest and sell data and I don't trust them. I also installed Firefox for the sole purpose of Logging into the BMO - the only site in the world that is so screwed up it won't work with my Safari Browser Mac OS 10.13.6 and Safari 13.1.2.


It is ridiculous and BANK OF MONTREAL does not care one whit!!


Technically the Bank Of Montreal are a sub standard organization focused on uber security (I can periodically still login with this iMac and Browser so there you have it) since they are the only Canadian Charted Bank to have been effectively HACKED.


What a bunch of nitwits.


The Bank of Montreal does not care about their customers and recommends we install a Browser that is NOT Secure.


Firefox is fine and works for me.


It is a PATHETIC situation and the BANK OF MONTREAL ought to ashamed of themselves, but they are not and they are NOT doing anything about it.

just upgraded from Mojave to Monterey and omg what a s**tshow. BMO is complete garble, nothing works....can log in and see money there, but cant access anything or do anything - see account transactions, move money around, nothing. Went out, and back in again and page is all scrambled. Pathetic. This is a massive UX fail on BMO's part. This is the 21st ****ing century and this problem SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.


shame, shame, shame BMO. Fire your IT dept and hire people who can make your site work on a Mac. This isn't some build your own computer with some freeware OS from some obscure company in South Africa or something, this is a major large cap blue chip company trading on the New York freaking stock exchange. There should be no problems, at all.


Get it tof***inggether BMO.
