Unlimited free Interac e-Transfer transactions are available in all Canadian dollar personal banking (chequing) accounts and are not counted toward the free monthly total in accounts with a limited number of free debits. There is a limit of 999 free Interac e-Transfer Transactions per Month per Account. In all Canadian dollar savings accounts, Interac e-Transfer transactions are $1 each, count as a Debit Transaction toward any free monthly total and carry an Excess Debit Transaction fee, if applicable. Interac e-Transfer transactions are not available in US dollar accounts.
5)
Interac e-Transfer transactions expire 30 days after they are sent and cannot be claimed by the recipient after this time. 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.
6)
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.
7)
When you use your Client Card to make a withdrawal in a currency other than Canadian dollars at an ATM outside Canada displaying the PLUS system symbol, we will convert the amounts withdrawn and any associated charges imposed by any third party for the use of the ATM to Canadian dollars when we deduct the funds from your Account. We will convert these amounts to Canadian dollars no later than the date we post the transaction to your Account at our exchange rate, which is 2.5% over a benchmark rate set by Visa International, a subsidiary of Visa Inc., and which Royal Bank of Canada pays on the date of conversion. This rate may be different from the rate in effect on the date your ATM withdrawal occurred or on the date of the transaction.
8)
Subject to credit approval. If you are either i) post-secondary student of any age, or ii) a non-student age 24 and under, and an owner or co-owner of an RBC Advantage™ Banking Account for students ("Eligible Student Bank Account") and the primary cardholder of one of the eligible RBC Royal Bank credit cards listed below (each, an "Eligible Credit Card"), the annual fee of your Eligible Credit Card may be fully rebated, every year. Rebates that apply to eligible credit cards are (listed in order of highest standard annual fee to lowest standard annual fee):
| RBC ION+ Visa | $48 |
| WestJet RBC MasterCard | $39 |
For any other RBC Royal Bank credit card, regular annual fees apply as they are not eligible for a rebate. The annual fee of your Eligible Credit Card will continue to be fully rebated: i) until you close your Eligible Student Bank Account, or ii) until you turn 25 (provided you are no longer a full-time student), or iii) if you are 25 or older, until the Expected Graduation Year you have provided at the opening of your Eligible Student Bank Account. Thereafter, the annual fee will no longer be rebated. If, for some reason, the Expected Graduation Year you have provided at the opening of your Eligible Student Bank Account differs from the one you have indicated on your credit card application, the Expected Graduation Year you have provided at the opening of your Eligible Student Bank Account will prevail and be used for determining the expiry of this offer. If your Expected Graduation Year occurs after your 25th birthday, or you are turning 25 and are still a full-time student but have not yet notified us of your Expected Graduation Date, please visit a branch to ensure continuity of benefits pertaining to your Eligible Student Bank Account (proof of enrollment required). Additional cardholders (co-applicant and authorized user(s)) do not qualify for the annual fee rebate even if they are also owners of an Eligible Student Bank Account. Only one credit card annual fee rebate per Eligible Student Bank Account is allowed. If you already have an Eligible Student Bank Account, the rebate will be applied at the time you open your Eligible Credit Card account. If you open your Eligible Student Bank Account after you have opened your Eligible Credit Card account, the rebate will be applied at your next annual renewal and won't be applied retroactively. Other conditions and restrictions may apply. Royal Bank of Canada reserves the right to withdraw this offer at any time, even after acceptance by you.

(ii) "Service Stations (With or without Ancillary Services)" (MCC 5541), "Automated Fuel Dispensers" (MCC 5542), "Taxicabs and Limousines" (MCC 4121), "Local and Suburban Commuter Passenger Transportation, Including Ferries" (MCC 4111), "Electric Vehicle Charging" (MCC 5552) are "Rides, Gas & Electric Vehicle Charging Purchases".

Even though some merchants may sell Grocery, Dining, Food Delivery, Rides, Gas, Electric Vehicle Charging, Streaming, Digital Gaming & Subscriptions merchandise, purchases made at these locations may not necessarily qualify as Eligible MCCs if the merchant is not classified as such by Visa. Also, you may make a purchase at a merchant that is not classified as an Eligible MCC but is located on the premises of a merchant that is classified as an Eligible MCC, in which case your purchase would not qualify asan Eligible MCC. We cannot guarantee that any merchant, operating in whole or in part as a Grocery, Dining, Food Delivery, Rides,Gas, Electric Vehicle Charging, Streaming, and Digital Gaming & Subscriptions merchant is classified as an Eligible MCC and in no event will we be liable or responsible for any claims with respect to a Grocery, Dining, Food Delivery, Rides, Gas, Electric Vehicle Charging, Streaming, and Digital Gaming & Subscriptions Purchase made at a merchant that is not classified as an Eligible MCC. Avion points are earned on net purchases only; they are not earned on cash advances (balance transfers, cash-like transactions and bill payments that are not pre-authorized charges that you set up with a merchant), interest charges or fees, and credits for returns and adjustments will reduce or cancel the points earned by the amounts originally charged.

The Bonus Interest Rate on January 30, 2026 of 4.05% within the RBC New eSavings Client Bonus Interest Rate Offer (“Offer”) is available to residents of Canada who are of the age of majority in the province or territory in which they reside as of the date the Eligible eSavings Account is opened and who were not the Primary Owner of an RBC High Interest eSavings Account at any time before the beginning of the Qualifying Period (as defined below), and who open a new RBC High Interest eSavings Account (“Eligible eSavings Account”) as the Primary Owner between January 30, 2026 and 3:00 PM EST on June 9, 2026 (the “Qualifying Period”). (Note: For added clarity, you will not qualify for this Offer by switching from another account type to an Eligible eSavings Account.) The Bonus Interest Rate on January 30, 2026 was 4.05% and is only applicable to deposits made in the Eligible eSavings Account for 3 months (90 days) from the date the Eligible eSavings Account was opened (the “Promotional Period”) and up to a maximum of $1,000,000 of the Eligible eSavings Account’s total balance. Any balances over $1,000,000 will be paid the Regular Interest Rate. “Promotional Interest Rate” is a combination of the Bonus Interest Rate plus the Regular Interest Rate. For example, if on January 30, 2026, the Regular Interest Rate was 0.55% per annum and the Bonus Interest Rate was 4.05% per annum, the Promotional Interest Rate would be 4.60% per annum. The Regular Interest Rate is subject to change without notice, and the most current rate is posted on our Personal Accounts Interest Rates webpage, which may be viewed at https://www.rbcroyalbank.com/rates/persacct.html (opens in a new window). At the end of the Promotional Period, all balances will earn interest at the Regular Interest Rate only. Regular Interest Rate and Bonus Interest Rate are annualized rates, and (subject to certain exceptions) are calculated daily and paid monthly. Any Eligible eSavings Account that, prior to the payment of interest at the Bonus Interest Rate, is closed or switched to another product type which is not an RBC High Interest eSavings Account will forfeit any such interest calculated during the month in which the Eligible eSavings Account is closed or switched. Offer and interest rates are subject to change without notice. Offer may be withdrawn at any time. Conditions apply.

This is the account you access with your RBC Royal Bank Client Card when you select the "Chequing" option on a merchant payment terminal or at an automated teller machine. RBC Virtual Visa Debit is not available to business clients.
The Virtual Visa Debit card allows you to shop online, pay bills, make in-app purchases and shop in-store internationally.
When you use RBC Virtual Visa Debit for a transaction in a currency other than Canadian dollars, we will convert the transaction amount into Canadian dollars at an exchange rate that is 2.5% over a benchmark rate Royal Bank of Canada pays on the date of the conversion. If the merchant gives you a credit voucher or refund for a transaction in a foreign currency, the debit and the subsequent credit will not exactly balance because of exchange rate and currency fluctuations.
Debit transactions made using your RBC Virtual Visa Debit Number do not count against any monthly transaction limits applicable to your personal deposit account. Other account fees may apply. Please see the RBC Royal Bank Disclosures and Agreements related to Personal Deposit Accounts booklet or other applicable account agreement for further details.
When you use Virtual Visa Debit to make a payment: 1) the funds will be debited from your banking account. 2) The merchant performs an authorization on your account at the time of the purchase and the charge is immediately debited from that account. In some cases, merchants may need to adjust the authorization amount. Should this occur, a credit adjustment in the amount of the original authorization will be credited to your account, followed immediately by a debit adjustment that reflects the final transaction amount. Please refer to the RBC Royal Bank Virtual Visa Debit Agreement for further details.
