CIBC FirstCaribbean Bank hosted a joint Employee and Client Appreciation Day on Monday. Both were marked on the same day this year to coincide with 150 years of the existence of the Bank’s parent company Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. Employees were treated to breakfast, massages and received tokens of appreciation. In addition to fun photos in the photo booth, clients and staff got their glucose and blood pressure checked by the Diabetes Foundation.
CIBC has been in the Caribbean since 1920. The first CIBC branches in the West Indies were established in Bridgetown, Barbados, and in Kingston, Jamaica. Branches were also opened in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Havana, Cuba, the same year. On June 20, 2011, the local bank became co-branded under the CIBC banner, adopting the branding CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank.
