Greater flexibility for CIBC clients with Saturday hours at more than 400
    branchesTORONTO, June 15 /CNW/ - CIBC today announced the addition of six-day
full-service banking at an additional 54 existing branches across the country.
The majority of these branches will begin offering extra hours as of Saturday,
June 20, to provide clients greater flexibility, access, and choice.
    Today's announcement means CIBC clients will be able to bank at least six
days a week at more than 400 CIBC branches located in some of the busiest
shopping areas across the country.
    "We're continuing to extend our hours of business to give Canadians more
banking options and more opportunities to talk to a CIBC financial advisor,"
said Christina Kramer, CIBC's Executive Vice-President of Retail Markets.
"Banking Monday to Friday doesn't suit everyone's schedule. These six-day
branches are in busy urban areas where our clients live, work and shop."
    In addition to introducing banking services on Saturdays at more
branches, CIBC offers Sunday banking at 37 branches across the country.
    "With Saturday and Sunday banking hours at many CIBC branches, our
clients have more opportunity to sit down with an advisor to talk about what's
important to them," added Kramer. "CIBC's investment in expanding hours is
also creating job opportunities, as we've added great people to our team in
these communities."
    With 1058 branches, CIBC clients already have access to one of the
largest branch networks in Canada. CIBC clients also benefit from access to
more than 3,700 automated bank machines, and 24/7 service over the phone and
on Canada's award-winning online banking site, www.cibc.com. Clients can click
