Small Business Overdraft Fees and Interest |

- A monthly administration fee of $9.50 is charged for each bank account that is approved for a Small Business Overdraft. This fee is charged whether or not you use the overdraft in any particular month and is in addition to any other charges or fees.

There are two types of overdrafts, secured and unsecured. For a secured Small Business Overdraft, either you or a guarantor may pledge a cash equivalent as security. To do so, you or the guarantor must sign CIBC's standard
Securities Pledge Agreement (in Quebec: a moveable hypothec). Costs incurred by CIBC with respect to the pledge will be charged to you or the guarantor.
| How overdraft interest is calculated |
| Interest on your Small Business Overdraft is calculated based on the final daily overdraft balance in your account (up to the approved limit for that account) and charged monthly. Any overdraft balance in excess of your approved Small Business Overdraft limit will be charged interest as indicated under "CIBC Discretionary Business Overdraft" below. Interest that is charged to you, and is unpaid, compounds monthly and continues to compound whether or not CIBC has demanded payment from you, starts a legal action or gets judgment against you. |
CIBC Discretionary Business Overdraft
Unless you have made prior arrangements with us, we may refuse to allow an overdraft (or an overdraft that exceeds your approved overdraft limit) and may return your cheque or pre-authorized debit NSF. If we allow an overdraft (or an overdraft that exceeds your approved overdraft limit), the following applies:
