CIBC
One of the key objectives was to make financial services more tangible so at the heart of the branch was placed a service island with concierge staff to welcome customers and serve their immediate needs. Concierge staff are also responsible for the promotion and training in the use of alternate channels ie mobile and internet banking.
The service island has an active waiting area with large format digital wall which enables the space to be used for local community events, serving existing customers and attracting new business.
