CIBC Credit Card
You can pay your line of credit in a number of ways. If you’re paying with your CIBC bank account, you can:
- Complete CIBC Online Banking transfers
- Call CIBC Telephone Banking
- Go to a CIBC Banking Centre
- Make a pre-authorized payment
- Go to a CIBC ATM
- Add your personal line of credit as a bill payee using the account number
If you’re paying with an account from another financial institution, you can:
- Send yourself an Email Money Transfer (EMT) and deposit the funds into your CIBC line of credit
- Make a pre-authorized payment
- Add your personal line of credit as a bill payee using the account number
- Go to a CIBC Banking Centre
If you can no longer access your CIBC line of credit through online or mobile banking, you can:
- Go to a CIBC Banking Centre
- Add your line of credit as a bill payee using the account number
CIBC need to receive and process your payment before the balance showing in your account can be updated. This may take 3 to 5 business days depending on your payment method.
For example, if you make a payment from a CIBC account by transfer or bill payment, it could take up to 3 business days before the balance is updated. If you make a payment from a non-CIBC account or by cash or cheque, it could take up to 5 business days before the balance is updated.
Each billing cycle, you need to pay at least the minimum amount towards your outstanding credit card balance by the due date. This would keep your interest charges under control and your credit score healthy.
If you can pay more than the minimum amount each month, your interest charges won’t be as high as they are calculated on balances carried over month to month. If you think you’re going to miss a payment, tell your lender as soon as possible. They’ll help you make a plan to keep your account in good standing.
A debt consolidation loan through a credit counsellor is available to help clients who are going through financial hardship by consolidating their CIBC debt into one loan. This type of loan is ideal for clients who are looking to get out of debt, but may or may not have the best payment history or credit. CIBC has a special debt consolidation loan for clients struggling to make their required payments.
CIBC creditor insurance can help you reduce your balance in the event of death or critical illness. In other cases, it can make payments in the event of disability or job loss. Including insurance as part of your overall financial plan can help lighten the burden of payments for you and your family should the unexpected happen. To find out what coverage you might have, call the number on the back of your card or visit Insurance at CIBC.

CIBC doesn’t charge interest on Global Money Transfers that appear on your credit card statement if we receive the full payment for the amount due by the payment due date. If you converted your Global Money Transfer into an Installment Plan during that statement period, you need to pay the full balance by the due date to avoid interest.
