However, to be eligible for the $4 monthly fee (charged over 12 months and equating to a $48 annual fee) to be fully rebated every month, you must: i) complete the Student Information section of the credit card application in full, ii) remain a student, and iii) be an owner or co-owner of the RBC Advantage Banking Account throughout your studies.

The Royal Credit Line for Students provides convenient access to funds to help you pay for school-related expenses. We offer credit limits based on your program of study and other criteria, with competitive interest rates. While you are in school, you will only need to make minimum payments27. After you’ve finished school, you have up to 2 years before you need to start repaying the principal amount. In the meantime, you have full access to your credit line, as long as you continue to meet your loan’s terms and conditions per your Royal Credit Line for Student Loan Agreement.

In order to receive the cash amount available under the Promotional Offer for our Royal Credit Line for Students, you must have or open, and maintain in good standing, an active Canadian dollar personal banking account with Royal Bank of Canada. If you do not have such an account as of the date we attempt to deposit the benefit of the Promotional Offer, you will forfeit this amount and be deemed to have not qualified for the Promotional Offer.

You do not need to open an RBC Advantage Banking account or apply for the RBC ION+ Visa in order to apply and be approved for a Royal Credit Line for Students.
