Save time, effort, even money

Want to send money to your child, landlord, co-worker or a friend? If you use RBC Royal Bank^® Online Banking – and your recipient has a bank account at any Canadian financial institution – you can do this by using Interac^‡ e-Transfer

It's easier than cheques, more secure than cash, and costs less than bank drafts. No need for stamps, envelopes or mailboxes.

Key features and benefits

• It's SIMPLE. All you need is the recipient's name and email address.
• It's FAST. Recipients are notified of transfers via email and can deposit the money immediately through online banking. Even if the recipient doesn't use online banking, for an additional fee*, the funds can be deposited into their account within 3 – 5 business days.
• It's SECURE. The money is transferred through Online Banking and the Interac network, not by email. The shared security question you create with the recipient means only he or she can access the money you send. Plus you're protected by the RBC Online Banking Security Guarantee^.

Sending an Interac e-Transfer costs only $1.00 for Personal Clients and $1.50 for Small Business clients (non-refundable) – less than a bank draft. Receiving and depositing a transfer using RBC Online Banking is free. And you can see current and past transfers on the "Payment History" link found within Pay Bills & Transfer Funds in RBC Online Banking. Some banking packages already include free Interac e-Transfer such as RBC Signature No Limit Banking and RBC VIP Banking.
