Escrow or prepaid requirements are not covered by RBC Bank, and include items such as Homeowner Association Dues, property taxes, property insurance, flood insurance and mortgage interest. Based on your loan scenario, certain taxes (such as transfer tax, doc stamps, intangible tax, recording tax, mortgage tax or other taxes) may apply and you will not be eligible for this offer. However, you may be eligible for one of our other HELOC programs. If you close your Home Equity Line of Credit within 24 months of opening the account, you will be required to pay all of the costs that were paid by RBC Bank in connection with the opening and issuance of the account. This is in addition to any outstanding balance that may exist on the loan. For eligible clients, RBC Bank will waive the annual fee for the Premium Checking account and HELOC as long as both remain open and in good standing. If you close your HELOC at any time, the annual Premium Checking account fee of $99.95 will begin to apply.
