Tip: This branch is closed on Saturdays and Sundays.
Yesterday, I was driving northbound along Woodbine Avenue, heading home after a long day. I spotted this CIBC branch on my right.
I realized that I had been here before, but never wrote a review. It's time!
It's not my favourite CIBC location. To start, it's closed on Saturdays and Sundays. It's like being in a time warp during the 1970's when businesses that weren't considered tourist attractions were closed on weekends in the greater Toronto area.
Second, I don't know who the architect was who designed the weird lone step to get to the main entrance from the sidewalk, and then had to build a ramp for accessibility due to the single step. This person didn't think things through.
Why?
The weird single step looks so out of place. It seems crazy to create a ramp to fix this judgment or design error. Why not get rid of this ridiculous step right off the bat and maybe go with a shallow ramp to get to and from the sidewalk?
There is decent parking around the building. A couple of accessibility parking spots are in front of the entrance. A large button is on the left side of the entrance that opens the doors after it has been pressed.
This branch has teller services. It's open at 9:30 am and closes at 5 pm during weekdays.
It does look and feel dated when you visit the branch. It kind of matches its archaic hours of operation.
This CIBC has three ATMs. I've used one in the past. I had no issues doing a transaction at it.
This branch is good if you need cash at an ATM, and you're staying at one of the Marriott hotels next door. You can simply walk over to use one of the ATMs.
It is conveniently located off the Steeles Avenue East exit if you're been on highway 404. There aren't a lot of CIBC locations in this area. The next closest one is on Don Mills, a few large blocks south of Steeles Avenue East..
It's not my favourite branch, but I'm glad that it exists for those who need a CIBC in the area.
