More reckless Lending by BMO and RBC

There were 2 reports recently that made me kind of laugh…..  You may have seen the recent report about Bank of Montreal bringing formal charges for mortgage fraud against hundreds of people… including bank staff, appraisers, lawyers and mortgage brokers…

Well, last week there was a report about the BC government blasting RBC and BMO for their loose lending practices when it came to granting mortgages…they called them ‘willfully blind’ and ‘reckless’.

This week, we see a report about RBC receiving an award for Creditor of the Year award from the Credit Counselling Canada.  They won the award for ‘thinking outside the box’…  Well, they sure did think outside the box in BC…
