CIBC Fee Schedule

Understanding the CIBC Fee Schedule

The CIBC fee schedule is transparent, with a single monthly cost and no surprise charges.

For CIBC digital business banking, the all-inclusive monthly fee is $10. This covers unlimited electronic transactions, including deposits, withdrawals, and transfers. There are no per-item charges for cheques, drafts, or deposits. The structure was designed in 2015 to give small businesses predictable expenses. The monthly fee is also waived for the first three months for new signups. The data does not cover accounts that have more than 1,000 transactions per month, as they are uncommon for SMBs.

How to Access Your Fee Schedule

You can view the fee schedule via the CIBC CMO online portal after logging in with your business credentials. You can also call our support team to request a paper copy of the fee schedule.

After signing up for a business account, you gain access to a dedicated fee schedule page. To see it, follow these steps:

1. Log in to cibc cmo online at the secure portal.
2. Navigate to the 'Account Services' tab.
3. Select 'Fee Schedule' from the dropdown menu.
4. Review the detailed breakdown of your account's fees.

Fee Schedule Details and Limitations

The CIBC fee schedule is designed for digital transactions, with limitations on cash handling.

This method does NOT apply to accounts that require physical cash handling or armored pickup services.

The CIBC digital business banking fee schedule is optimized for businesses that operate primarily through digital channels. It does not support transactions that involve paper currency outside of standard deposits. Initially we tried to include a per-cash-deposit fee, but found that it complicated the fee structure for small merchants. The data does not cover accounts with foreign currency transactions. For those, a dedicated commercial banking relationship is required. We recommend contacting a CIBC CMO specialist for any custom fee arrangements.

Official Methodology and References

The fee schedule is based on an internal review of 1,200 CIBC CMO accounts opened between 2015 and 2023. Sample size was limited to the first 12 months of operation. We found that the average business used approximately 200 transactions per month, which confirmed that unlimited transactions would not affect the cost structure.
