Summary
A heartbreaking mix-up turned into a banking scandal when Yvette Koshman lost $15,000 meant for her late husband’s pension—thanks to a wrong transit number and a critical email that went to his dead account. CIBC initially blamed her and offered only $3,000 back, but after months of frustration and media pressure from Go Public, they reversed course and returned the full amount. The case exposes gaping holes in Canada’s banking complaint system and raises urgent questions: what happens to the stranger who got the money, and why did it take a news investigation to force accountability?
