You have 15 days after the Interac e-Transfer Transaction is sent to cancel without charge. A $5.00 Interac e-Transfer Transaction Reclaim Fee is charged when a recipient does not accept it before it expires, and the sender does not cancel the transaction before the 15 day cancellation period. There is a limit of 999 free Interac e-Transfer Transactions per Month per Account; for every Interac e-Transfer Transaction over the limit you will be charged $1.00.

Legal Bug 5)
An ATM operator surcharge (also called convenience fee) may be charged by other ATM operators. The
convenience fee is not a Royal Bank fee. It is added directly to the amount of your cash withdrawal.
All clients who use non-RBC ATMs may be charged a convenience fee regardless of the type of account
they hold.
Legal Bug 6)
Each account cash withdrawal at an ATM outside Canada displaying the PLUS System symbol, and any
fees that may be imposed by any third party for using the ATM, are converted to Canadian dollars at
an exchange rate which is 2.5% above the bench mark rate set by the payment card company when the
transaction is posted. Exchange rates fluctuate and, as such, the rate applied will usually differ
from the posted exchange rate at the time of the transaction.
Legal Bug 7)
Foreign currency purchases paid by withdrawal from your Canadian dollar account are converted to Canadian dollars at an exchange rate 2.5% over the Interbank Spot Rate (as defined by Acxsys Corp.), effective at time of processing. Since exchange rates fluctuate, the rate applied will usually differ from the posted exchange rate at the time of your purchase.
