You may need to borrow to pay for small items, meet unexpected expenses or even to take that holiday you've been promising yourself for so long. By combining a line of credit with credit cards you can ensure that you have money available when you need it and keep your interest expenses to a minimum.
At RBC Royal Bank, we offer borrowing options to meet all your everyday and unexpected needs. Find the right ones here. Or, for personalized service, contact one of our credit specialists today.
As an alternative to a loan, we have an account feature that helps you avoid the embarrassment and inconvenience of having a cheque returned, or a point of sale purchase declined due to insufficient funds. Consider Overdraft Protection for your account and give yourself peace of mind against temporary cash shortfalls.
