The Dixie and Highway 7 branch, CIBC's second location in Brampton to offer seven-day banking along with its Bovaird and Airport Drive location, was selected to offer Sunday banking hours because of its proximity to where busy CIBC clients live, work and shop.

The branch also offers clients service in a variety of languages including Enlglish, Italian, Hindi and Portuguese.

"We're thrilled to be expanding our full-service Sunday hours to another location in Brampton," said Larry Tomei, senior vice-president, CIBC Retail Markets, Central Ontario. "We hear time and again from our clients how much they enjoy the flexibility Sunday banking lends to their schedules. Not everyone can make it to a branch during the week and our employees tell us that Sunday is often the perfect time to meet with busy clients and have meaningful financial discussions.

"CIBC's investment in expanding hours is also creating job opportunities, as we've added great people to our team in this community," added Tomei.

Offering Sunday hours and adding Saturday and evening hours at branches across the country is one more way CIBC is giving its clients more banking options. CIBC also has a five-year strategic plan to build, relocate and expand over 70 new branches across the country by 2011.

With 1063 branches, CIBC clients already have access to one of the largest branch networks in Canada. CIBC clients also benefit from access to more than 3,800 automated bank machines, and 24/7 service over the phone and online at www.cibc.com
