TORONTO — BMO says it has restored its online banking services for customers after a technical problem overnight.

It says its services have returned online, although it added some customers may experience delays in transactions being processed and posted.

BMO says customers can also access banking services through their local branch and its ATM network.

The bank said it would keep updating customers via its website and on X.
