What is the process for reporting fraudulent activity on my account?

If a customer suspects fraudulent activity on their BMO account, it is essential to take immediate action to protect their finances and personal information. First, the individual should review their account statements and transactions closely to identify any suspicious activity. If something appears unusual, the customer should ensure that they have all relevant details, including dates, amounts, and descriptions of unauthorized transactions. Next, the customer should promptly visit the official BMO website to find the appropriate resources for reporting fraud. This information is usually located in the security or fraud prevention section. BMO provides guidance on the steps to follow and the necessary information to furnish when reporting incidents of fraud. In many cases, it is recommended for customers to monitor their online banking frequently and consider changing their passwords to enhance security. Additionally, it is prudent to check if any personal identification information has been compromised, which might involve reviewing credit reports for any unauthorized applications or accounts. Customers should remember that the sooner they report the fraudulent activity, the better the chances of resolving the situation. BMO takes fraud prevention seriously and aims to assist customers in ensuring their accounts are secure. You can find the contact information and additional resources directly on the BMO website should further assistance be needed.
