They want me go to a site to create a new account, which I will not do until I know this is safe. I don't know if this is legit or a phishing attempt. I could call BMo but getting through to banks is very annoying. Is there any way to tell from this URL if this site is legit or bogus? I don't know what the hevec.nl/desite part is all about. Anyone know?

BOGUS
You will never get an email from a bank for this sort of thing. They will call you personally.
Edit: Interestingly, I clicked on the link curious to see where it goes, and Firefox darkens the pages and gives a "Suspected Web Forgery" message. The dead giveaway is the URL starts "http://hevec.nl" which is NOT something any legit bank would do.
