Advantage for Youth

CIBC Advantage for Youth

This plan gives you a chance to learn the basics of managing your own finances - with some guidance from a parent.

CIBC Advantage for Youth offers you unlimited free transactions on a Premium Growth Account. This account can be opened by anyone 18 years of age or younger with their parents' consent. Your parents will have the option to determine how much access to the account you will have.

CIBC Advantage for Youth could be for you if you:

  • are 18 years of age or younger
  • want to establish an account where you can save money on a regular basis
  • want to save for your future, from your first car to a university education

CIBC Advantage for Youth Key Benefits:

Saves you money

On your Premium Growth Account, you get:

  • FREE unlimited transactions*
  • FREE bank statement (no cheques returned)

Makes you money

Interest is calculated on each day's final balance and is paid to you monthly. If you have less than $60,000 in your account, interest will be paid on the entire account balance at the interest rate for the interest tier into which the closing balance falls.

That means the higher your balance, the more interest you can collect on your money. You'll earn an even better rate on the portion of the final daily balance that is over $60,000.

Convenient

  • There are special features for your parent or guardian to help keep your savings on the right track.
  • Receive full access to the account through CIBC branches.
  • Your parent or guardian will decide whether or not you have chequing or electronic access.

Educational tools

Open a Premium Growth Account with Youth Benefits and you'll receive helpful tools to assist you with your savings plan:

  • The SmartStart® Parents Kit includes a comprehensive series of age-related workbooks to help your parents teach you or a younger sibling about financial basics, money management, investing and saving for the future.
  • The SmartStart® Youth Pack is a fun and simple way for younger students to learn about basic money management.
