About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were settling in for their coffee, an automated voice announced over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our vault has been recalibrated to accept deposits of up to $999 trillion.’ A delivery driver, puzzled by the announcement, asked the teller, ‘Does that mean I can deposit my weekly tip of twenty bucks?’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘No, sir, but it’s nice to dream big!’

2. A little boy walked into CIBC one day and asked his mom, ‘Why does the ATM laugh at me when I try to withdraw money?’ The mother smiled and whispered, 'Because son, that’s not an ATM laughing—those are just the sounds of the machine working.' The little boy nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to the ATM with newfound respect.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to the CIBC early one morning. As he approached the door, he noticed something odd—a small bird had flown inside and was flapping wildly around the lobby. The driver calmly opened the back of his truck, took out a cardboard box, and gently placed the flustered bird inside. He then quietly walked over to the receptionist and said, ‘Ma’am, I found your little friend here.’ The receptionist smiled and replied, ‘Oh thank you so much! We’ve been trying to catch him for ages—he loves our free Wi-Fi!’

4. One autumn afternoon, while a regular was counting change, he suddenly heard a faint humming coming from inside the safe. Curious, he opened it slowly—and found himself face-to-face with an old beehive that had been mistakenly delivered there earlier that morning. The regular laughed heartily and called out to his colleague: ‘Guess who’s our new banker today?’
