The bonus and/or regular rates may change at any time without prior notice. Ask a CIBC advisor for current rates. How it works: the applicable regular interest is paid on the full daily closing balance for each. In addition, on days when the closing balance exceeds the Oct 31/12 closing balance (the difference between the two balances is a “new balance”), the new balance earns a bonus interest rate for that day. Interest is calculated daily on each day’s fi nal balance and paid monthly. Bonus interest rate offer expires Mar 28/13. Other conditions apply; ask in-branch or see cibc.com/bonusinterest for full terms and conditions. ®Registered trademark of CIBC. “CIBC For what matters.” is a TM of CIBC. 10 NEWS metronews.ca Tuesday, January 29, 2013 Plane crash Beloved matriarch Morsi fails to South Pole Station.
