CIBC Mortgage Rates

The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) is the smallest of Canada's Big 5 Banks (depending on which metric you use). Like all of the big banks, mortgage lending makes up a large part of CIBC's retail banking operation. While CIBC mortgage rates are certainly competitive with other lenders on the market, it's important to understand the range of mortgage products that CIBC offers in order to understand whether it's the right lender for you.

CIBC mortgage pre-payment options

On standard fixed-rate closed mortgage products, CIBC allows customers to pre-pay up to 10% of the original principal mortgage amount annually. You can also increase your mortgage payments (principal and interest) up to 100% on the original payment amount at any point during your term.

CIBC cashback mortgage

Further, when you select a CIBC mortgage rate of a 5-year fixed closed term, you will have the option to receive cashback from CIBC to put towards a Regular Investment Plan of your choice, including an RRSP, RESP, TFSA, or Non-Registered investment plan. CIBC also offers a More-for-your-home Mortgage Bundle solution for qualifying mortgages - this lets you open a new (or use an existing) personal CIBC chequing account valued at up to $3,000. The bundle includes up to a $500 cash rebate on your choice of a Home Inspection or Energy Audit by AmeriSpec, plus access to valuable savings on national home-related products and services from AmeriSpec Canada, 500 Aeroplan Miles, and a CMHC Housing Guide and Energy Savings Guide.
