The following Terms and Conditions explain in detail how bonus interest can be earned on a CIBC
eAdvantage Savings Account.
General
1. The CIBC eAdvantage Savings Account (the “eSA”) Bonus Interest Offer (the “eSA Offer”) begins
on April 1, 2019 and continues until October 31, 2019 (the “eSA Offer Period”). The eSA Offer is
only available to selected eligible and existing eSAs opened on or prior to March 31, 2019.
Eligible eSAs
2. An eSA is eligible to earn Bonus Interest on the portion of the account’s daily closing balance that
exceeds the closing balance as at October 15, 2018 (the “New Balance”). If an eSA is overdrawn as
at October 15, 2018, the October 15, 2018 closing balance is deemed to be zero.
3. An eSA opened on or after April 1, 2019 is not eligible to earn Bonus Interest under the eSA Offer.
Bonus Interest and Regular Interest
4. Bonus Interest is calculated daily at the current rate on each day’s New Balance and paid monthly,
for an eligible eSA.
Regular interest (“Regular Interest”) is calculated daily at the current rate on each day’s full closing
balance when the final balance is $5,000 or more, and paid monthly. Bonus Interest is payable on the
first $5,000,000 of New Balances for an eligible eSA during the eSA Offer Period.
Bonus Interest may be referred to as “Promotional Interest” on record keeping (i.e. CIBC Online
Banking, ABMs, etc.).
For current Regular and Bonus Interest rates, ask at any CIBC banking centre or visit cibc.com.
Regular and/or Bonus Interest rates may change at any time without prior notice.
Restrictions
5. Bonus Interest will not be paid on funds that are transferred during the eSA Offer Period from an
eSA opened prior to the eSA Offer Period to another CIBC personal bank account and then back to an
eSA.
6. Any balances that become eSA balances when another CIBC personal bank account is converted to
an eSA during the eSA Offer Period will not earn Bonus Interest. “Converted” is a term used to
describe when any CIBC personal bank account (such as a CIBC Premium Growth Account) is changed
into an eSA, either directly or indirectly, without changing the original account number.
Ret.09
7. There can only be one eSA Offer on each eSA. This eSA Offer cannot be combined with any other
offer on your eSA. CIBC, in its sole discretion, may change these terms and conditions or withdraw
this eSA Offer at anytime without notice. CIBC reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify,
limit or revoke this eSA Offer in respect of any CIBC client who it determines or believes is abusing or
manipulating this eSA Offer. CIBC staff (including retirees) and clients younger than 19 are not eligible
for this eSA Offer. This eSA Offer is not transferable and will only apply to the customer to whom it
was directed.
