Bank details of CIBC

Find the verified CIBC routing details needed for secure transfers. Below are the essential Institution Number (010), Transit numbers, and SWIFT codes required for Canadian domestic EFT (direct deposits) and international wire payments.

How to correctly fill out a transfer form

CIBC is one of Canada's "Big Five" banks. The institution number for all CIBC transactions is 010. Whether you are setting up a payroll deposit or receiving a global wire, using the correct 010 identifier combined with your 5-digit branch transit number is the key to a successful transaction.

Examples of filling out a transfer:

Domestic Transfer:
Recipient: Jane Doe
Institution Number: 010 (public bank identifier)
Transit Number: 00001 (public bank identifier)
Account Number: ****3322 (example)
Purpose: Personal Transfer

International Wire:
Beneficiary Bank: CIBC
SWIFT Code: CIBCCATT (public bank identifier)
Bank Address: Commerce Court, Toronto, ON M5L 1A2, Canada

Tips for filling out the form

• CIBC account numbers are usually 7 digits. If you are using an older 5-digit account number, you may need to add leading zeros.
• For transfers between CIBC and Simplii Financial (which is a division of CIBC), you still need to treat them as separate entities regarding routing codes.
• Check your CIBC Mobile App under "Account Info" to see your full 9-digit routing number pre-formatted.
