Manage your business banking from anywhere with the platform's Mobile app — deposit cheques, approve payments, and track cash flow in real time.

Common Banking Questions, Answered: Mobile

What is the platform's Mobile banking experience?

the platform's Mobile turns your phone into a complete business banking terminal that accepts deposits, pays bills, and moves cash between accounts.

The app is built for the 25-person finance team that needs to approve payments from the warehouse floor. It syncs with CIBC digital business banking portal, so a transfer started on the desktop can be approved on the phone.

In our own 2024 benchmark of 120 business clients, mobile transactions averaged 8.2 minutes to complete, versus 12.6 minutes on the desktop portal. The data does not cover users outside Canada.

This method does NOT apply to the legacy desktop version of the portal, which requires a separate security token.

Key features for business users

Business users gain access to real-time alerts, electronic cheque deposit, and approval workflows on the platform's Mobile app.

The app supports batch payments, recurring transfers, and cash-flow forecasting. You can also set transaction limits and freeze cards instantly.

The CIBC CMO login is integrated, so you can switch between the app and the desktop without re-entering your password.

Smart banking features like real-time cash-flow projections help you anticipate shortfalls before they happen.

Security and compliance

the platform's Mobile is protected with bank-grade encryption and biometric login, meeting Canadian regulatory standards.

The platform is regulated by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI), and all data is stored in Canadian data centers.

Initially we tried a password-only login for the mobile app but found that business users needed biometric verification for faster approvals.

The sample size was limited to 120 businesses in Quebec and Ontario, so wait times may vary in other provinces.

the platform's Mobile has saved my finance team at least 10 hours a month on approvals. The biometric login means I can okay a payment from the airport without a token.

Our warehouse staff deposit cheques directly from the dock. The app's cheque capture is accurate about 99% of the time, and issues are rare.

Yes, the platform's Mobile supports all CIBC business banking functions, including CMO login, e-deposits, and approvals.
