About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At BMO Bank, a regular customer noticed something peculiar one morning. As he approached the ATM, an automated voice announced over the speaker: 'Your account balance is now exactly 1984 dollars.' The man chuckled and withdrew some cash, only to hear the same message again when he checked his balance later that day. Curious, our regular started checking his balance every time he passed by the ATM. One evening, his neighbor popped in for help with her own banking issues. To everyone’s surprise, the ATM greeted them both: ‘Your combined account balance is now exactly 1984 dollars.’ They laughed it off, but ever since then, whenever they needed money, they’d visit BMO together—just to hear that funny little announcement.

2. At BMO Bank, a delivery driver asked an unusual question one day. ‘Why does the ATM always greet me with the same smiley face?’ It turned out that every morning, before closing the vault, an elderly security guard would draw a little smiley face on the screen as a friendly gesture for the delivery guy. The driver thought it was just a coincidence until he saw the guard winking and whispering, 'Morning, pal! Have a good day!'

3. At BMO Bank, a delivery driver asked an unusual question one day. ‘Why does that old lady always count her money so loudly?’ An elderly customer, known for her boisterous counting habits, overheard him and smiled warmly. 'She’s not counting it,' she said with a twinkle in her eye. 'She's just reminding everyone how much they owe her!'

4. At BMO Bank, a delivery driver stopped mid-unload and asked curiously, 'Why does everyone here seem so eager to leave?' An elderly neighbor passing by overheard the question and smiled, replying, ‘They’re all rushing because they’ve just discovered that BMO stands for “Bank Making Overpayments.”’ The delivery driver looked confused but grinned, realizing it was another one of those urban myths.
