While driving westbound, I realized that I needed to withdraw some cash. I remembered this…read moreScotiabank branch and decided to pull in, as it was along my route. I parked in the lot that faces Denison Street, between the branch and Tiny Tom Donuts. It's always deadly parking next to a donut store! I walked over to the main entrance and realized that it's just for branch services. They were closed on Saturday. I walked around to figure out where the ABMs were. From simply walking around the branch's exterior, this branch is huge! Finally, I found the other entrance to both the ABMs and main branch. I walked in and three ABMs greeted me. The lobby is exceptionally clean. Spotless! There was also a garbage bin. Nice! I got my money out of the ABM just fine. This branch has the new machines where you don't need envelopes to make deposits. Additionally, more of these machines are dispensing $5 bills. It's a nice throwback to when I banked with Royal Bank and smaller bill denominations were dispensed. I like it! There is plenty of parking. It was nice to finally stop by and check this branch out.

Tip: This branch has three ABMs…read more On Saturday, I was at Bayview Village Shopping Centre. Bloomer's has changed locations. It used to be by the mall entrance with Scotiabank. It's now next to CIBC at that mall entrance. It's cool that the banks are by mall entrances. You don't have to kill yourself walking into the mall to do your banking. I noticed three ABMs when I left Bloomer's to head to my car. The area was clean and had decent lighting. The branch was open for teller services and more. I liked that there weren't any lineups. It's a decent branch if you're looking to do banking while you're shopping at the mall or you want to quickly dash in to use an ABM. There's lots of parking, but parking does fill up faster on Saturdays. (275)

Since this CIBC is in Bayview Village, it has to be excessive. Well, it is. If you consider three…read moreATMs excessive. The bankers can be hit or miss.

I was trying to get some administration done and had popped in to another branch and they flat out refused to help me. They were knowledgeable at this branch and knew the protocols to get stuff done.

Tip: The branch isn't open on weekends…read more I have passed by this CIBC countless times en route to Walmart, Great Clips, or Dollar Tree. I decided to check it out on a Saturday afternoon after I had got a haircut at Great Clips and then did some grocery shopping at Walmart. This CIBC has a drive-thru. I used it to check my balance. I don't do a whole lot of banking with CIBC these days, but I do have an account. It was straightforward entering it. Deposits are envelope-free at this ATM. You can withdraw CAD or USD, depending on your needs. It's similar to the CIBC ATMs that are at Pearson International Airport. It's nice that the bank has opened it up to more ATMs that aren't at the airport. This branch is closed on weekends. You can still go into the branch to use the ATMs if you won't want to do the drive-thru. Regular banking hours are from 9:30 am till 5 pm on weekdays. The branch has accessible parking, which allows a wheelchair to go up a shallow ramp to the main doors. There's a button that opens both doors for access into and out of the branch. There is plenty of parking around the building. I parked in the back aisle to take a look at the branch before I left. I'm glad that I took a closer look at this bank. It was nice to not drive away like I normally do. It's good to know that this CIBC exists. (218)

Once in awhile I still get a cheque and need to deposit it at a local bank machine so I decided to…read moredrop into a new TD Canada Trust branch just south of Hwy 401 at on Victoria Park Ave at Ellesmere Rd. This is a real nice corner branch even though it doesn't have a drive thru banking service. There's a sitting area in front of the main entrance, parking for bicycles, and plenty of spaces for vehicle parking. Four Green Machines inside the branch can be accessed 24-7. For whatever reason, I was unable to deposit the cheque because the Green Machine kept rejecting the cheque scan/recognition. Plan B was to line up and make a Customer Representative counter transaction. This experience was very quick, efficient, friendly and courteous. Excellent! The decor was very pleasing and modern.

This is especially true of the business counter. Basic, run-of-the-mill things like opening an LOC or a registered account becomes an epic exercise in frustration, requiring frequent calls or visits to the bank to fix mistakes. I only use this branch in emergencies now, even though it's the one closest to me. I prefer to drive a bit further to another branch to spare myself the hassle.

Tip: There is a small parking lot at the back of the building…read more I realized waiting in rush hour traffic that I have been to this CIBC branch, but had never reviewed it. Now is the time! This branch is on the north side of highway 7, west of Eureka Street, which is a block away from Main Street in Unionville. This bank is across the street from Papa John's and next door to Volvo. There is a small parking lot behind the building on Eureka Street. It's a one-way flow to drive into the parking lot. Similarly, there's only one way to exit it. The main entrance is also facing this street. This branch is quaint. It has a couple of ATMs when you walk in. There are teller services, but you may want to book an appointment for more lengthy, complex service help. This branch is closed on Sundays. Otherwise, it's open at 9:30 am. It closes at 5 pm every day, except for Saturday when closing time is 4 pm. The hours are decent. It explains why it does get busy. I've only used the ATM here. I had no issues. It was clean and the ATMs were operational. The good news is that there are no steps to take to access the building. It's an even surface from the parking lot to the main entrance. For accessibility, there is a large button to open both sets of doors. It's a decent CIBC location. (234)

This RBC Royal Bank branch is inside Denison Centre. The mall entrance between Shoppers Drug Mart…read moreand the RBC ATM will lead you to the actual branch. The setup is interesting. The lone ATM by the mall entrance used to be branded as HSBC. RBC acquired HSBC last year. Seeing the rebranding has taken its sweet time at all locations, including here. The reason why the ATM has its own housing or building is cool. When the mall is closed, you can still do banking at this ATM. It is open at all times. When the weather is bad, such as the snow flurries that occurred in Markham last night, you can use the ATM in a warmer, drier environment. The main branch is across from this ATM. It occupies the space that used to be a discount housewares store. I don't think that HSBC was established at this mall. RBC built this branch from scratch. I like the wood floor. It looks nice and it's less maintenance than having carpeting. This branch only has one ATM. It makes sense, as this mall has a grand total of two RBC ATMs. My only concern is that teller services are at the very back of the branch. For those who have mobility issues and need a human to help with specific banking services, I would think that the distance is unnecessarily long for them to get there. This branch is probably the second-closest one from my home. RBC is no longer my main bank these days, but it's nice knowing that I can do my occasional banking here. (23)
