U.S. float:

Due to timing delays in dealing with U.S. financial institutions, there’s a gap between the time that CIBC gives and receives value for funds in U.S. dollar transactions. This delay is called a “float” and affects the way any deposit interest and overdraft fees or interest charges (collectively referred to as “overdraft charges”) will be calculated on your U.S. Dollar Current Account. For example, when you make a deposit in U.S. dollars, other than a CIBC draft, CIBC must collect those U.S. funds through the applicable U.S. dollar banking system.

In general, CIBC receives credit for those funds at least one, and sometimes several, business days after the U.S. dollar deposit is made to your account. We’ll only give you value for deposits one or two days after the deposit is made.

Similarly, CIBC usually gives value to the appropriate U.S. financial institution for the amount of a U.S. dollar payment drawn on your account at least one business day before the date the U.S. dollar payment appears as recorded in your usual account statement.

Therefore, for the purpose of determining the balance in a U.S. Dollar Current Account for the calculation of deposit interest or overdraft charges payable:

Each U.S. dollar deposit made, other than a CIBC draft, that may appear on your account statement on the date of deposit will only be considered received and credited to the account (and available for reduction of any overdraft) on the first or second⁵ business day immediately after the deposit is made.
To ensure same-day credit for deposits of CIBC drafts and cheques drawn on the CIBC branch of account, these items should be segregated from other items and deposited separately.
Each cash withdrawal, electronic funds transfer, cheque or any other payment drawn on the account (other than drawn for purchase of one or more items at the CIBC branch of account) — collectively referred to as “withdrawal” — or paid out from your account on the corresponding date shown on your usual account statement will be considered effectively deducted from your account on the first business day immediately before that date.
Based on the above, if your account balance shows a credit balance because of a U.S. dollar deposit you made, any U.S. dollar withdrawal made prior to the date on which we give you value for that deposit (as indicated above) may incur overdraft charges.
Saturdays, Sundays and holidays that your CIBC branch of account is closed are not business days for the above purposes.

An additional float statement will be sent to you, after your account statement is sent, to confirm the daily balances, interest and overdraft charges adjusted as indicated above. This supplementary float statement will not be sent if there has been no activity in your account to report.
