Understanding the Table:
The comparison table above helps you see the total cost of your CIBC currency transaction by showing the exchange rates offered by different providers. It also makes it easy to spot potential savings from market-leading FX services compared to bank rates.
To see a full list of available providers, simply enter your transaction type, details and click ‘GET RATES’.
One of Canada’s so-called “Big Five”, the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce was formed by the merger in 1961 of the Canadian Bank of Commerce and the Imperial Bank of Canada and is seen as a trusted banking institution.
The CIBC Global Money Transfer service aims to allow customers to move money across borders just as easily as making a domestic wire transfer.
When you get a quote for your Global Money Transfer from CIBC on their website or in-app, you can also see the CIBC exchange rate, but it can be difficult to then calculate how much you are being charged.
CIBC does not publish their exchange rates publicly which is frustrating. Our BER International Money Transfer partners tend to offer guaranteed transparency on all conversions.
Our research shows that on average, CIBC profit margin for foreign exchange rates is somewhere between 4 - 8%, depending on the amount you're sending, where you're sending it to and which currency will be received.
While all banks in Canada charge this markup, the extra amount being charged is much higher than it would be with a global money transfer specialist.
Note the limit with CIBC Global Money Transfer in a 24-hour period is C$30,000, if paying via credit-card C$15,000.
CIBC uses different bank codes depending on the currency and location of the sending bank. Here are some of the most common bank codes used for receiving foreign wire transfers:
SWIFT Code: CIBCCATT: This code is used for receiving wire transfers in Canadian dollars (CAD) from foreign banks.
Transit Number and Institution Number: These codes are used for receiving wire transfers in Canadian dollars (CAD) from banks located within Canada.
ABA Routing Number: 021000089: This code is used for receiving wire transfers in U.S. dollars (USD) from banks located within the United States.
CHIPS UID: 0902: This code is used for receiving wire transfers in U.S. dollars (USD) from foreign banks that are members of the Clearing House Interbank Payments System (CHIPS).
Fedwire ABA Routing Number: 026009593: This code is used for receiving wire transfers in U.S. dollars (USD) from banks located outside of the United States.
It's important to note that specific bank codes may vary depending on the currency and location of the sending bank, and it's recommended to confirm the correct codes with CIBC before initiating a wire transfer. Additionally, CIBC may charge fees for receiving wire transfers, so it's important to check the current fees and policies before initiating a transaction.
CIBC offers several credit cards with different foreign transaction fees. Here are some examples:
CIBC Aventura Visa Infinite Card: This card charges a foreign transaction fee of 2.5% of each transaction in Canadian dollars.
CIBC Dividend Visa Infinite Card: This card charges a foreign transaction fee of 2.5% of each transaction in Canadian dollars.
CIBC Aeroplan Visa Infinite Card: This card charges a foreign transaction fee of 2.5% of each transaction in Canadian dollars.
CIBC Platinum Visa Card: This card charges a foreign transaction fee of 2.5% of each transaction in Canadian dollars.
It's important to note that credit card terms and conditions can change, so it's always a good idea to check the current fees and policies before applying for or using a credit card for foreign transactions.
If you wish to save on exchange rates and foreign ATM fees then you should consider the Wise multi-currency card.
The CIBC USD to THB exchange rate is 30.57. This is -6.6% compared to the latest USD-THB mid-market rate 32.72.
As exchange rates can vary significantly between banks and also between currency exchange providers, it's therefore important to carefully compare US dollar (USD) to Thai baht (THB) rates from different sources before making a conversion.
The above CIBC - Dollar to Baht comparison table makes it easy to compare the Total Fees (both variable and fixed) you are being charged by CIBC and other foreign exchange providers against the latest USD-THB mid-rate and the possible savings of using various providers.
Looking at the full USD to THB - Send Money comparison table the provider with the best USD to THB exchange rate is OFX at 32.56, -0.49% from the latest mid-market rate 32.72.
The next best is XE at 32.53, -0.58% from the mid-rate.
Then Wise at 32.51, which is -0.64% from the mid-rate.
The Western Union rate is 32.4 which is -0.98% from the mid-rate.
Among the banks the Chase Bank rate is 30.24 at -7.6% the Wells Fargo Bank rate is 30.04 at -8.2% and the Citibank rate is 31.55 at -3.6% compared to the mid-rate 32.72.
It's important to note that exchange rates also fluctuate frequently due to market conditions. Additionally, banks like CIBC often apply a margin to the exchange rate, resulting in a less favorable rate for customers compared to the mid-market rate. For more competitive rates, you might consider using a specialized currency exchange service or platforms that offer rates closer to the mid-market rate.
