The Bonus Interest Rate on June 12, 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 June 12, 2026 and 3:00 PM EST on October 27, 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 June 12, 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 June 12, 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. 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 Offer may be withdrawn at any time.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. For other defined terms and complete terms and conditions that apply to this Offer, please visit www.rbc.com/junehisa26.
Total of 90 days: For the purpose of this RBC New eSavings Client Bonus Interest Rate Offer and any related marketing, any reference to a period of 3 months means a period of 90 calendar days regardless of how many calendar days may fall within any given calendar 3-month period.
