Tips:
- This branch has a drive-thru ATM.
- It's located at Chartwell Shopping Centre.
I came here after an eye appointment. My eyes were dilated and I was wearing dark sunglasses on a cloudy day. I was heading home and spotted this CIBC branch.
Should I be hitting a new drive-thru to do a bank transaction under the circumstances? I was good. It simply felt like I was in heaven with so much light coming into my eyes... haha!
I needed to do a transaction. I don't bank with CIBC often these days. Once in a while, I do, like I did today.
I was driving northbound on Brimley Road. This branch is at Chartwell Shopping Centre, in a plaza that I used to frequent often when I worked in Scarborough eons ago. Back then, this plaza had a Shoppers Drug Mart and a Price Choppers. Both are gone.
My friend, who was also my colleague, and I came here during our lunch break regularly. She banked with CIBC. Back then, this branch was next door to Price Chopper. With all the changes that occurred at this plaza, it's now a standalone building at the corner on Brimley Road and Huntingwood Drive.
I had no problem finding the entrance to the drive-thru ATM. Even with my dilated eyes, it was straightforward. There was one vehicle ahead of me, which gave me time to fetch my bank card out of my wallet.
The ATM was clean. I had no problem entering my PIN and performing a straightforward cash withdrawal. Easy peasy!
There is parking in front of this branch. It was a bit busy, as it was just before noon. There's a Tim Hortons and a Pizza Pizza a few doors down from this CIBC, so be careful driving over to this bank.
It looks like this bank is the only business with a drive-thru here. Having one for Timmy's wouldn't work, as there isn't enough space to accommodate two drive-thrus.
