"Clients will be able to execute trades while they are away from their computer, on the golf course, or even from their deck at the cottage," added Mr. Martin.
Mobile trades made with the new App using a CIBC Investor's Edge account are eligible for $6.95 per trade pricing for investors with combined balances of $100,000 or more in CIBC products.

More recently, the bank launched the CIBC Home Advisor App, free to all Canadians homebuyers. The App provides access to neighbourhood pricing trends and demographics along with the ability to access mortgage calculators and advice.
