A CIBC Direct Deposit Slip, often referred to as a "Void Cheque" or "Payroll Deposit Form," is an essential document for setting up automatic payments. Whether you are starting a new job, setting up CRA direct deposit, or arranging for government benefits, this form provides your employer or the service provider with the exact Transit Number, Institution Number, and Account Number required to transfer funds securely into your account.
Instead of visiting a CIBC Banking Centre, you can instantly generate a digital version of this form through CIBC Online Banking or the CIBC Mobile Banking App. This digital slip contains all the pre-filled information found on a traditional paper cheque, ensuring that your Payroll Information is accurate and reducing the risk of administrative errors or delayed payments.

Algorithm: Step-by-Step Guide to Get Your Slip Online
To access and download your direct deposit form, follow this exact sequence of actions within your CIBC secure portal:
- Log in to CIBC Online Banking using your Digital ID and Password.
- From the My Accounts home screen, click on the specific bank account you wish to use for deposits.
- Look for the Manage My Account or More Info tab on the right side of the screen.
- Select the link titled "Void Cheque/Direct Deposit Info" from the dropdown menu.
- Review the information on the screen to ensure it is the correct account.
- Click the "View/Print" or "Download PDF" button to save the form to your device.
Pro-Tip: If you are using the CIBC Mobile Banking App, you can find this under "Account Info" after selecting your account. Use the "Share" icon to email the PDF directly to your HR department or save it to your cloud storage for future use.
Troubleshooting Common Access Issues
- MFA Code Delays: If your Multi-Factor Authentication code is not arriving via SMS, check your mobile signal or wait 60 seconds and request a Voice Call instead. Ensure your mobile number is correctly listed in your Profile Settings.
- PDF and Browser Errors: If the form fails to open, check if your browser has a Pop-up Blocker enabled. Disable the blocker specifically for the CIBC site or try using Incognito Mode to bypass cache-related display errors.
- Locked Digital ID: If you are locked out after three failed login attempts, use the "Forgot Password" utility. You will need your CIBC Advantage Card and the 3-digit security code on the back to verify your identity.
Efficiency Hack: One-Tap Information Access
The fastest way to provide your banking details without downloading a full PDF is to use the "Copy Account Info" feature in the mobile app. By tapping the copy icon next to your Transit and Account Number, you can paste the details directly into a secure payroll portal or email, eliminating the need to type out long sequences of numbers manually.
