History of CIBC Bank USA
PrivateBancorp was incorporated in Delaware in 1989 and opened its first office in Chicago in 1991. Discussions between PrivateBancorp and CIBC executives regarding an acquisition began in 2013, with CIBC’s acquisition completed in June 2017. The subsidiary adopted CIBC branding in September 2017.
CIBC Bank-USA is CIBC’s second foray into the American commercial banking market. Its previous unsuccessful operations, CIBC National Bank and Amicus Federal Savings Bank, were founded in 2000 to provide co-branded banking services for supermarket chains and both entered voluntary liquidation in 2003. The PrivateBancorp acquisition was the largest in CIBC’s history.
