Saturday Banking at CIBC
CIBC has expanded its Saturday branch presence over the past decade. Most mall-based CIBC branches open Saturday 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM. Standalone and smaller community branches have lower Saturday coverage.
CIBC Saturday-open locations are common in:
- Enclosed shopping centres (Scarborough Town Centre, Metrotown, Chinook Centre)
- Grocery-anchored retail plazas
- Major downtown financial district branches
- Airport locations (extended hours)
Best practice: Check the CIBC branch locator (cibc.com or the app) before your Saturday visit — the locator shows real-time hours for each specific location.
What Requires a CIBC Branch Visit
Most daily banking is possible through the app and online banking. A branch visit is required for:
- Opening certain account types in person
- Certified cheques and bank drafts
- Safe deposit box access
- Large cash withdrawals over ATM limits
- Wire transfers above the $25,000 online limit
- Complex transactions: mortgage drawdowns, investment account opening with in-person advice

- Bank reference letters and account verification for external purposes
CIBC and Simplii: Shared Branch Access
Simplii Financial operates on CIBC’s banking infrastructure. While Simplii is a separate institution (separate CDIC member), Simplii customers can, in some circumstances, visit a CIBC branch for limited assistance — particularly for complex issues or transactions that can’t be handled by Simplii’s phone support.
Call Simplii at 1-888-723-8881 first to confirm what CIBC can do for your specific Simplii account situation.
