Canadians have more banking choice with 30 CIBC branches now open on
    SundaysTORONTO, March 11 /CNW/ - Beginning this Sunday, March 15, 2009, an
additional 15 CIBC branches across the country will open their doors on
Sundays from noon to 4 p.m.
    "With Canada's diverse population, we know Monday to Friday just doesn't
work for everyone. Sunday is now a busy shopping day for many Canadians.
That's why we're adding full-service Sunday banking at additional CIBC
branches," said Christina Kramer, CIBC's Executive Vice-President of Retail
Markets.
    "We're continuing to invest in expanding our service hours to offer our
clients more flexibility to bank and get financial advice when it fits their
schedule."
    CIBC is the leader among Canada's big 5 banks in offering seven-day
branch banking since introducing Sunday hours in select branches in the
Greater Toronto Area and Vancouver Lower Mainland in 2008. By the end of 2009,
CIBC clients will be able to bank on Sunday at 45 branches across the country.
    "Sunday branch banking gives clients more access to trusted advisors to
talk about what matters to them," added Kramer. "With a free CIBC Financial
Health Check, our advisors can help clients gain confidence to make the right
decisions to meet their current needs and their goals for tomorrow."
