Important Notices
Postal Disruption in Canada
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers have returned to work effective Tuesday, December 17, 2024. Delays due to the backlog of mail may persist for some time. This will impact the delivery of payments by cheque.
If you receive your payments by cheque, switch to direct deposit to avoid delays in receiving your payment.
To request direct deposit, click the “Forms” line in the “Welcome” drop-down at the left of this page, then select “Direct Deposit” to download and print the form. We recommend that you take it to your Financial Institution and request they fax the completed form to us at 1-800-678-0760.

Protect Yourself Against Identity Theft
Please be aware that some of our clients’ pension plan members have received calls from people claiming to be from CIBC Mellon asking to validate their direct deposit information for their pension payments.
If plan members initiate a change in banking information, CIBC Mellon may call the member to validate the change.
If you receive a call from someone claiming to be from CIBC Mellon and you did not initiate a bank account change or any other change, it is likely a phishing scam.
We encourage you to err on the side of caution. If you feel the call is suspicious in any way, simply hang up and call us back at 1-800-565-0479 or 1-519-873-2218.
In this section, you can:
- Submit a change of address form if your address has changed or is going to change soon.
- Complete a direct deposit request form to have CIBC Mellon deposit your pension payments directly into a Canadian bank account or to make a change to your current banking information.
- Read frequently asked questions if you have questions or require assistance.
- Contact us online for assistance if you have additional questions.
