◊ This offer is only available to clients opening their first CIBC eAdvantage® Savings Account (“eSA”). Eligible eSAs will earn a special annual interest rate (the “Special Interest Rate”) on balances up to $1,000,000 for 120 days from the date the eSA is opened (“Special Rate Period”). The Special Interest Rate is a combination of the regular interest rate that applies to your eSA balance tier plus an additional bonus interest rate. Any change to the regular interest rate will result in a corresponding change to the bonus interest rate so that the overall Special Interest Rate will remain the same during the Special Rate Period. Regular interest is calculated daily on each day’s full closing balance and paid monthly to your eSA. Bonus interest is calculated daily on each day’s full closing balance up to a balance limit of $1,000,000 during the Special Rate Period and is paid monthly to your eSA. Both the regular and bonus interest rates are based on the tier your daily closing balance falls within. For current interest rates, visit cibc.com/savingsinterest. Interest rates quoted are annual; regular and bonus rates may change at any time without prior notice. Other conditions apply.
