Receive real-time fraud alerts
How it works
- Upon verification, we will unblock your card for future transactions. If your transaction was declined, you will be prompted to re-attempt your transaction. Some merchants may re-attempt the transaction automatically; otherwise, you may need to re-attempt the purchase. The merchant can confirm if the transaction was successful. Alternatively, you can refer to your CIBC Online Banking® account to determine whether the purchase was successful. A pending transaction on your CIBC Visa* transaction history will confirm if the purchase was successful.
- If you do not recognize the transaction, we will need to speak with you. We’ll try to reach you by phone and connect you directly to a fraud specialist for assistance.
