That is awesome if somewhat way overdue, but CIBC seems to be one of the best in the way of adopting app features, with a pretty good Apple Watch too.
Next Apple Pay?!

Touch ID has been out for over two full years. Larger displays for over a year. Banks are so slow to update their apps.

At least CIBC’s is a native app. BMO’s app is rough and RBC’s actually feels like a joke. Like going back in time to Web 1.0.

At least BMO has had Touch ID for awhile now, but I agree it needs lots of improvement.

Finally…can they hire maybe more than one programmer? Better late than never though.

Amex has Touch ID on their app. Makes it a breeze to use.

TD still doesn’t have TouchID support, I still have to put in a password like a pleb.

Why does it feel like Td just doesn’t give a crap? 🙁

I hope CIBC also updates the PC Finanical app as well. It’s been buggy for awhile too.
