If I opened a joint account with my partner, do we each receive the Apple reward?

Only the primary account holder who is not an existing owner of a personal banking account is eligible for the offer. The primary account holder must not have previously been a joint account holder within the past five years.

Can I still qualify if I don’t use an automated recurring payroll direct deposit?

Yes, as long as you set up and complete two (2) Pre-Authorized Monthly Payments and pay two (2) bills – and both payments are debited from your new account by August 10, 2026.

What types of payments count as Pre-Authorized Payments?

If you choose to qualify for this offer by setting up two (2) pre-authorized payments, the payments must be withdrawn from your eligible account by August 10, 2026. You can set up the two (2) pre-authorized monthly payments from two (2) different companies – or, if you set them up with the same company, the two (2) pre-authorized payments must be for different account numbers.

No. This offer is only for clients who have never had an RBC personal banking account nor qualified for any of our offers related to opening a personal banking account at any time during the promotional period or in the previous five years. Account upgrades do not qualify for the Apple Watch offer.

I did not receive the Apple Watch reward. Why not?

You may not have received the Apple Watch reward due to one of the following reasons:

  • If the qualifying criteria was not completed by August 10, 2026.
  • Your new eligible account was downgraded or closed prior to June 1, 2027.
  • The recurring payroll, two (2) bill payments or two (2) pre-authorized monthly payments were not recognized by RBC Royal Bank
