Are CIBC prepaid cards the same as credit cards?
Prepaid cards are not credit cards. Unlike a credit card, which allows you to access a credit limit and pay the bill later, prepaid cards let you load what you need in advance. You use your own money, which you can load onto your card from a CIBC bank account or personal line of credit.
