CIBC
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) is a Schedule I domestic chartered bank and one of Canada's Big Six, formed in 1961 through the merger of the Canadian Bank of Commerce and the Imperial Bank of Canada and headquartered in Toronto, Ontario. Serving roughly eleven million personal, business, commercial, wealth, and capital-markets clients across Personal & Business Banking, Wealth Management, and Capital Markets, CIBC is a participant in the shared Canadian rails, including Interac e-Transfer and Payments Canada settlement systems. Canada has no operational open-banking mandate today: the federal Consumer-Driven Banking framework legislated in Budget 2024 and the 2024 Fall Economic Statement, overseen by the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC), is not yet live, so access remains voluntary and fragmented. CIBC runs no first-party public developer portal (developer.cibc.com does not resolve) and publishes no downloadable OpenAPI or Swagger specifications. Consumer-permissioned data access is aggregator-mediated: CIBC signed a tokenized data-access agreement with U.S. aggregator MX (announced August 2022, MX's first in Canada) to let clients share financial data with third-party apps without exposing banking credentials, and its accounts are also reachable through Plaid (Assets, Auth, Balance). Corporate connectivity is offered through CIBC SWIFT Corporate Access (SCA) file exchange rather than a public REST API, so CIBC's honest public API surface today is aggregator-mediated only, pending the coming Consumer-Driven Banking regime.
More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.
API Evangelist profiles CIBC the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — CIBC scores 15.9/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile CIBC
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for CIBC. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
