CIBC has launched a new online financial account aggregation service making it possible for customers to consolidate and view their financial assets held at CIBC and other online enabled financial institutions in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.

The service called “Total View” is initially available to selected CIBC Imperial Service clients participating in a pilot and will then be rolled out to this customer segment in the spring. The service provides customers with secure, one-stop access to their banking, credit card, mortgage, loan and investment accounts on one screen through CIBC online banking.

“The addition of account aggregation is another significant step in improving our online banking offer by giving customers convenient access to and control of their finances,” said Corinne Charette, senior vice president of CIBC’s Internet channel, retail and small business banking.

“We expect that those with accounts across multiple financial institutions will value saving the time and hassle of having to gather their financial information, either manually or by downloads into personal financial management software, each time they wish to review their portfolios.”

CIBC uses account aggregation technology from CashEdge, Inc., global specialists in providing online applications to the financial services industry. Cash Edge is a privately-held company based in the U.S.

Customer information will be protected by CIBC’s privacy policy and security measures that meet all of the bank’s stringent standards.
