TORONTO, March 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - CIBC (TSX: CM); (NYSE: CM) today announced the following special mortgage rate offer, effective March 9, 2012:

4 year Fixed Rate Mortgage 2.99 per cent

This offer is in addition to the competitive mortgage offers across CIBC's full mortgage product lineup, including CIBC's existing special offer of 3.99 per cent on a 7 year fixed closed mortgage.

"Canadians have identified effective debt management as their primary focus this year, and these special offers will help new homebuyers and existing mortgage holders reduce interest costs and pay down their mortgage sooner," commented Colette Delaney, Executive Vice-President, Mortgage, Lending, Insurance, and Deposit Products, CIBC. "Getting the right advice about which mortgage is right for you is an important first step towards reaching your financial goals."
