Information about why customers call CIBC Bank is extracted from issues that customers have reported to GetHuman.
If phone-based customer service is not available, or the wait times are long, many people prefer chat as a next-best option. Some even prefer it to calling on the phone. Luckily, CIBC Bank provides this option.
As a last, sometimes only, resort- CIBC Bank customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
