Banking
New faculty may have questions about banking and financial matters. This is particularly true for those coming from outside Canada. To ensure that faculty joining the University of Toronto have as smooth a transition as possible, the University has arranged for comprehensive and highly personalized banking services through the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), Main Branch Commerce Court West.
Among the features available through the CIBC program are:
- Beginning the process of opening bank accounts prior to arrival
- Transfer of funds from outside the country and conversion to Canadian currency
- Competitive loan rates for personal and new car loans
- Visa credit card applications (subject to approval) and debit cards
- Lines of credit
- Access to electronic banking services
- Investment and retirement planning
This program is optional. Faculty may choose to bank with the financial institution of their choice.
