You never know when the unexpected may happen. A cheque you've received may take a little longer than you anticipated to clear through your account. An authorized payment could fall due a day or two before you have the funds to cover it.
For these reasons and more, RBC Royal Bank® offers you the peace-of-mind of overdraft protection as a feature of your bank account. Think of it as protection against the embarrassment of having your cheques or authorized payments returned or a point-of-sale transaction declined. It's also an easy way to ensure that you maintain your good credit rating.
Automatic, Easy Protection
Subject to credit approval, overdraft protection provides between $500 and $5000 of protection for most bank accounts, and up to $10,000 of protection for RBC VIP Banking™ customers.
Your overdraft protection comes into effect automatically-up to your limit-whenever your account is overdrawn.
Repaying it is easy too. As soon as you make a deposit5 to your account, it will automatically be applied against your overdrawn balance.
