Before you connect CIBC
- Institution
- CIBC in Canada
- Account selection
- Choose the eligible accounts offered during authorization. Review each account's type and currency.
- Plan
- ULTRA or HYPER; bank and additional investment connections share institution/account limits.
- Personal and business labels
- An institution's label can include personal or business banking. The authorization flow determines which accounts this connection can retrieve.
- Spending
- Bank balances work without spending history. Enable spending with separate consent for each bank.
Available data
- Account labels and types
- Checking and savings balances
- Credit-card balances
Coverage and limitations
ULTRA or HYPER is required. Supported checking and savings balances count as cash; supported credit-card balances count as debt. Bank transaction history requires separate spending consent where Spending & Budgets is enabled. Balances-only connections remain unchanged. Availability depends on the institution, account type, and authorization.
Connection guide
How to connect CIBC
- 1
Open bank connections
Open Accounts & imports and choose Bank, cash, and debt sync to start a CIBC balance connection.
- 2
Review access and find the institution
Read the bank-data consent, then use Add bank account. If you enable investment access, the button reads Add bank and investment accounts. Search for CIBC in the secure connection flow and confirm the Canada institution. Follow its sign-in steps and approve the eligible accounts you want to track.
- 3
Check the first import
Return to Accounts & imports. Review selected accounts, their currencies and Last imported time. Checking and savings contribute cash; supported credit-card balances contribute debt.
- 4
Choose spending access
Enable Spending & Budgets only if you want bank transaction history. Check its separate consent and history coverage before treating the imported activity as a complete record.
Review your CIBC records
- CIBC bank balances and Investor’s Edge positions use different guide paths. Check the selected account and its connection listing before authorizing either one.
Check timestamps and update coverage
Compare CIBC's Last imported time with the balance you expect. A Live balance request uses your plan's monthly credits and depends on the institution supplying data. Google Sheets sync and AI reads use stored Fillfolio data; they do not request a new bank observation.
Resolve connection and coverage issues
The connection needs attention
Read the notice in Accounts & imports. Accept the required consent before using the existing connection's reconnect action. Return to check account selection and the next import result.
The total looks wrong
Compare account currency, source time and cash/debt classification. Count an imported balance once. Purchases in Spending & Budgets do not get subtracted again from that bank balance.

- Savings

- Cash included
- CAD 4,000

Questions
Before you connect
What can Fillfolio show from CIBC?
Account labels and types, Checking and savings balances, Credit-card balances. Supported credit-card balances are debt, not cash. Account availability depends on the authorization and data supplied by the institution.
Which plans include bank connections?
Bank connections are included with ULTRA and HYPER for supported U.S. and Canadian accounts only. Supported checking and savings balances contribute cash, while supported credit-card balances appear as debt. Eligibility depends on the institution, country, account type, and permissions available during connection.
Does Fillfolio retrieve bank transaction history?
Balances-only connections retrieve account metadata and balances. On eligible ULTRA/HYPER accounts where Spending & Budgets is enabled, you can separately consent to bank transaction retrieval. Bank spending appears in its own workspace; the existing Transactions page remains investment activity. Available history varies by institution and the original connection window.
Can bank availability change?
Yes. An institution or connection provider can change supported account types, regional coverage, permissions, or authentication requirements. Maintenance and expired authorization can also interrupt updates. A listed institution does not guarantee every account will connect.
Can Fillfolio transact through CIBC?
No. Fillfolio is read-only portfolio tracking software. It cannot trade, transfer, approve, sign, or move money.
