Published

on

TORONTO, July 31, 2026 /CNW/ — CIBC today announced the national launch of a proprietary, AI-enabled solution, CIBC AdvisorAssist, that helps advisors spend less time on administrative work and more time on client conversation, advice and relationships while integrating important regulatory compliance activities. 

The new tool leverages generative AI to automatically capture and summarize detailed notes during client meetings. It also streamlines follow-up documentation, enabling advisors to reduce time spent on administrative tasks by up to 50% and dedicate more time to client relationships.

Developed internally by CIBC’s team of experts, and with rigorous safeguards in place, CIBC AdvisorAssist is designed to extend across business lines, from Personal Banking and Imperial Service to Wealth Management. The tool was created through the collaboration of advisors, regulatory supervision, technology, and compliance teams, to leverage AI to deliver innovative solutions for clients.

“This tool was built in direct response to feedback from our advisors and with a goal of helping them be more present for our clients, and reflects our deep commitment to innovation,” said Ed Dodig, Executive Vice-President, Personal Banking and Imperial Service, CIBC. “By using AI to automate routine tasks and support important regulatory requirements, our advisors are able to dedicate more time to advising clients.”

A suite of proprietary platforms, one connected purpose

CIBC AdvisorAssist is part of the bank’s broader effort to use AI in practical and responsible ways that improve the banking experience for clients, drive efficiency, generate revenue, and reduce risk.

CIBC CRTeX (launched 2025) provides advisors with real-time client insights and suggested next best action items to enable deeper, more personalized conversations with clients. CIBC DocuMind (launched 2025), an enterprise document intelligence platform powered by generative AI, streamlines document processing to deliver faster lending decisions for clients while strengthening fraud detection, processing 63,000 documents a month, and saving an average 16,000 hours each quarter to date.CIBC Voice Assistant (launched 2025) has supported clients through more than 16 million calls since launch, resolving straightforward inquiries quickly and connecting clients to the right person, faster.

Each platform is built on reusable, scalable architecture that can be extended across the bank’s business lines as CIBC continues to invest in responsible AI innovation.

“At CIBC, we see AI as an enabler of who we already are: a relationship-driven, client-focused bank,” said Jaime Tatis, Executive Vice-President, Chief Data & Artificial Intelligence Officer, CIBC. “All of these tools, working together, help create a more personalized, client-first experience and enable our advisors to focus on what matters most – our clients.”

TMGM and Chelsea Football Club Extend Partnership into Fourth Year, Expanding into the Middle East

Published

on

By

SYDNEY, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TMGM and Chelsea Football Club today announced the extension of their partnership into a fourth year, with the collaboration expanding beyond Asia-Pacific into the Middle East.

Since 2023, TMGM has served as Chelsea FC’s Official Online Forex and CFD Trading Partner in Asia-Pacific. The extension advances a partnership spanning matchday visibility, original content and fan engagement.

Three Years of Shared Momentum

In 2026, the partnership reached a milestone when TMGM branding appeared on the back of Chelsea men’s match shirts during the FA Cup – a first in the club’s history. TMGM also joined Chelsea FC’s 2026 Asia-Pacific Pre-Season Tour as an Official Partner, with open training, pitch-side access and post-match tunnel experiences. The tour included a visit by Chelsea players Cole Palmer and João Pedro to TMGM’s Sydney headquarters.

Earlier in 2026, TMGM presented The Famous CFC in Bangkok, where hundreds of supporters attended a live match screening and an exclusive appearance by former Chelsea captain John Terry.

These milestones formed part of a wider programme of premium home-match hospitality, behind-the-scenes visits at Cobham and player-led content under TMGM’s “Trade like a lion” campaign.

A Broader Platform for Year Four

In year four, TMGM’s expanded regional rights will support brand visibility at Chelsea home fixtures, original content featuring players and legends, regional digital campaigns and a China-focused performance series. The programme will also continue through The Famous CFC in selected markets and offer TMGM clients further hospitality and behind-the-scenes access across Chelsea’s matchday, stadium and training environments.

“Over three years, our relationship with Chelsea FC has evolved from regional activations to high-profile moments, including visibility on the club’s FA Cup shirts and its Asia-Pacific tour,” said TMGM. “Entering our fourth year and extending into the Middle East creates opportunities to connect with more audiences through experiences that reflect the ambition of both organisations.”

Chelsea Football Club said: “TMGM has focused on bringing its clients and our supporters closer to the club through digital-first content and in-person events across Asia-Pacific to great effect. We are pleased to extend the partnership into a fourth year and look forward to building on its momentum across the region and also the Middle East.”

Ridgeway Pharmacy Statement Regarding Website Security Incident Involving Third-Party Vendor

Published

on

By

VICTOR, Mont., Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ridgeway Pharmacy, Ltd. (“Ridgeway”) is providing notice of an incident involving its pharmacy website, which was developed by a third-party vendor. Ridgeway identified operational issues on the website and promptly began an investigation with the assistance of external cybersecurity and forensic specialists. That investigation determined that a vulnerability in the vendor-supported website allowed an unknown third party to access the site using elevated privileges, and that certain information may have been accessible as a result. On August 21, 2026, Ridgeway determined that the information potentially involved may have included name, date of birth, address, prescription information, health information, insurance information, and, for a portion of the individuals, payment card information. Importantly, at no time did this incident involve Ridgeway’s internal systems.

Ridgeway takes the privacy and security of information seriously and holds the third parties that support its services to that same standard. Upon learning of this matter, Ridgeway secured and remediated the affected website, stood up a new platform, further restricted access, strengthened monitoring, implemented additional protections against unauthorized activity, and reported the incident to federal law enforcement.

Written notice has been mailed to individuals whose information may have been involved, and out of an abundance of caution Ridgeway is offering complimentary identity protection services through TransUnion, a leading identity protection provider. As a general precaution, individuals are encouraged to review their account statements, health plan explanations of benefits, and credit reports for any unfamiliar activity, to enroll in the complimentary services described in their notification letter, and to report any unusual activity to their financial institution.

Individuals with questions may call Ridgeway’s dedicated toll-free assistance line at 1-833-516-7133, available 8am – 8pm (ET).
