Answers use saved listing facts and recorded sources.

What it does

Simplii Financial is CIBC’s digital banking brand for personal chequing and savings. Its No Fee Chequing Account includes everyday debit purchases, bill payments and CIBC ATM access without a monthly fee. Services are not available in Quebec.

The No Fee Chequing Account supports unlimited everyday debit purchases, bill payments and withdrawals, with free access to CIBC ATMs across Canada. Optional overdraft protection has a C$4.97 charge in months it is used, plus 19% annual interest on the overdraft balance. Simplii opens individual and joint personal accounts, rather than business or nonprofit accounts.

Statements and reminders

To save a statement in the mobile app, open My Accounts, choose the account and select Account Info, then View eStatements. Choose the month and year to open the document. Online banking places View eStatements under the selected account in Account Summary.

Balance alerts are managed separately in Manage My Alerts. Turn the required alerts on, choose email, text or push delivery and save the changes. Bill payments also support a selected frequency, which helps keep recurring commitments alongside their account records.

New customers can apply online or by phone. Existing customers can sign in, open Products and select another account. Simplii offers an online identity-verification route and a separate New to Canada program for eligible newcomers. It states that eligible deposits are combined with CIBC deposits for CDIC coverage, rather than receiving separate coverage under the Simplii name.

Strengths

Everyday chequing has no monthly fee and includes CIBC ATM access.
Statement downloads and balance alerts are available through digital banking.

Watch out for

Services are unavailable in Quebec and accounts are for personal use.
Using optional overdraft protection incurs a monthly usage charge and interest.

Best for

Canadian personal-banking customers outside Quebec who want digital chequing
People organizing recurring bills, statements and balance alerts
