It took the bank until Wednesday morning to publicly address the issue.
“Heads up: You may not be able to access online banking right now because of a technical problem. We’re working on the issue and will get things back to normal as soon as we can. Thanks for your patience,” BMO posted on X at 8:14 ET.
