Usually got OK service, though dealing with phone calls was always a pretty frustrating experience, but they moved recently and I can’t believe they chose the location they did.
I spent so much time wandering around trying to find their new location that by the time I found it they were closed.
Directions on where to find it were ridiculously poor - there could be a map on their old location to their new location instead of just a sign with the address, but nope.
The few signs they have outside of the new building could have included instructions on where to find the entrance instead of just an arrow, but nope.
Even the arrow is a misleading because you do not just walk down the way it points until it leads you to a BMO accessible from outside the building (like the CIBC), you go that way for a short while, then take an elevator to the 4th floor and enter the building, which is then where you find the bank.
There’s no sign for it outside of the building at any of the entrances, or outside the elevators/stairs, though once you find the elevator you need it says inside the elevator that BMO is on the 4th floor, which obviously isn’t helpful for anyone actually looking for the place, it’s only helpful once you’re already inside the elevator, which means you’re basically already there.
If I hadn’t randomly looked up and seen a BMO logo on a high up window I would have had no idea at all where the bank was, as the building itself is just a maze of corridors with virtually no signage and inaccessible entrances/elevators.
So INCREDIBLY frustrating, I was low key considering closing my accounts if I didn’t find it just so I’d never have to waste my time with this again.
For crying out loud, I mean, at least put up some adequate signs outside to help people find the place!
Terrible choice in the new location, and how it’s advertised if they have hopes of anyone finding the place, it was far more convenient in the mall.

We had to make a very important wire transfer, we came all the way from Seattle to loughheed, we got delayed at the border and wasted more time going to their old office, by the time we reached loughheed the bank had closed, but the staff was still working inside, we requested them and explained our entire situation, but it wasn't in their powers, till finally Mariam Heindi the branch manager showed up and heard our stressful story and took a call to help us, she held humanity over and above everything and made our transaction go through, we really appreciate her efforts from the bottom of our hearts. A very humane Branch Manager, she will definitely rise and shine.

Very disappointed they moved out of Lougheed Mall where they've been for years. The new location is very inconvenient, a fairly long walk in the summer heat for an older person. So much for one-stop shopping. Not impressed, BMO.

They recently moved out of the mall to the.grand promenade? Anyway, yikes. The automatic door doesn't work, nor does the elevator. These are issues with the building, not the business, but cmon man. Unacceptable to open such an inaccessible business. Huge area filled with nothing but a sad little cut into nook. Super inconvenient location! Would recommend finding a new branch as this is a really big downgrade

Visited the branch for opening accounts and some questions. Advisor Hyunji Kwon was so professional and kind. Definitely recommend for the people who want professional advice!

Tried to open an account today (Friday afternoon) but the earliest I could speak to someone was Tuesday. If that's the customer service they are starting with, no thanks. I'll take my business elsewhere!
