Now there's an easier way to send money overseas

  Sending money overseas

If you have family and loved ones living overseas, sending money to them may be an important part of your regular banking activities. Until now, this has often been an inconvenient and time-consuming task. Not any more!

RBC International Remittance® allows you to make international money transfers more easily, conveniently and securely than ever before, right from the comfort of your own home. It even lets you deposit money directly into the other person's bank account — and all for a lower fee than most services.

Savings for you

All you need is an RBC® personal banking account* with access to RBC Online Banking± to take advantage of the many benefits of RBC International Remittance, including:

  • Convenience. Through RBC Online Banking, you can send money overseas at any time of the day or night, from any computer with internet access.
  • Savings. With a low fee of just $13.50 per transaction to send any amount up to $2,500 Canadian dollars, this service saves you money compared to other methods, which can charge as much as five times more.
  • Time savings. You don't need to go to a branch or office and you don't have to fill out detailed paperwork every time you send money.
  • Accessibility. You can send money to more than 120 countries around the world**, choosing from a range of currencies at current RBC exchange rates.

With the RBC Online Banking Security Guarantee, you'll also enjoy peace of mind from knowing that your money is secure+.

Convenience for your family

Most importantly, by using RBC International Remittance, you'll be helping your family overseas.

Because you can deposit the money directly into the other person's bank account, your loved one will enjoy more convenient access to the money you send.

You can save time and postage and there's no lengthy hold period while a bank draft clears. RBC International Remittance transactions typically take two to three business days, so your family receives their money quickly, and in the currency you choose. (Some countries may convert the funds into local currency.)

So easy to send money

Make sending money easier for you and your family. Getting started is as simple as paying bills online:

  1. Sign in to RBC Online Banking using your client card number and password.
  2. Select RBC International Remittance from the menu on the Account Balances page, or within the Pay Bills and Transfer Funds menu.
  3. Follow the instructions to make your transfer.

Why wait? Send money to your family now.
