That's a bad move by BMO. I guess that the if and else parts of their algorithm have been swapped / inverted. I stopped using BMO a long time ago, way before the BMO name came out. I'm now with Tangerine and I am rather happy. On another note, I was the victim of a fraud of over $20,000 from a customer of BMO. They did absolutely nothing about the account that stole the money. Tahberine and their team solved the problem and I got all my money back.
