Like most of the banks in Leduc (except the TD and Canadian Western Direct in Leduc Common) the CIBC Parking lot is very small and getting into and out of this bank, particularly during the week during business hours is a bit of a pain. There also isn't a drive through here.
That being said I bank with PC Financial, which allows me to use CIBC bank machines (for withdrawals, and deposits) for free. I come to this bank to use the ATM from time to time.
I used to be a CIBC customer, at this bank actually. A couple years ago I had a student account, which doesn't charge any account fees. Then during my 4 months of summer break (May-August) I noticed bank fees on my account. I went in to talk to someone at the bank.
Me: I have bank fees on my account even though I have a student account.
Bank Rep: Sorry you're not in school right now so we have to charge you account fees.
Me: Okay, but I'm going back to school in September, and last year I wasn't charged account fees during my summer break.
Bank Rep: Sorry nothing we can do.
Me: Okay then I would like to close my account.
So yes CIBC lost me as a customer because of a pretty stupid policy (which I understand wasn't the bank rep's fault), but I still come into this bank from time to time to use the ATM. It would be nice if this bank had a better parking lot or drive-thru, but there's not really any space for that. As a bank it's okay, considering I'm just using the ATM. read more
