Make purchases with your INTERAC* Direct Payment card.
Have automatic payments come out of your account.
Want to avoid the inconvenience and cost of an NSF cheque and declined debit purchase.

Key benefits

Saves you money	No service charge, interest, or payments until you actually go into overdraft. Interest is charged only on outstanding balances.
Convenient	Available on most CIBC personal chequing and savings accounts. Covers your account for shortages caused by cheques, pre-authorized debits of Electronic Funds Transfers (EFT) for loan, mortgage or insurance payments, bank machine withdrawals, telephone or Online Banking transfers and payments, Interbranch banking, and INTERAC Direct Payments, up to your approved limit.
Easy to manage	For every month that your account is overdrawn, you need to make a minimum deposit of only $100, or the amount that is overdrawn (whichever is less). Once every six months1, you must deposit enough into your account to bring it into a positive balance for at least one full business day.

Information you need to know:

Minimum Overdraft limit: $100.
Maximum Overdraft limit: $5,0002.
To apply for Overdraft Protection, you must be a Canadian resident, aged 18 or older (or 19 in some provinces)1.
