RBC account opening bonus
Machine-translated from Chinese, so it may read oddly. Comments are left as members wrote them. Read the Chinese original
I went to RBC a couple of days ago to open an account and learned about the benefits for new account holders. Let me share them with you.
1. Student Account
The student account has no monthly fee, and the benefit is $100. The conditions to get it are simple - just make a few transactions with the card.
2. RBC Signature Account
There is a monthly fee of $16.95/mo, but if you also get a credit card and an investment account, you can reduce the monthly fee to around $10. You must hold it for at least 1 year, and after 1 year you can switch to a student account with no monthly fee.
The opening benefit for this type of account is $450, and the condition to get it is to meet two of the following three:
a, Your payroll or pension as a direct deposit. Set the card as the one for your salary. I guess most students don't meet this.
b, Two pre-authorized monthly payments (PAPs). Subscriptions like Netflix, Apple Music, etc. all work.
c, Two bill payments to a service provider. Pay bills with the card - phone bills, credit card bills, etc. all work.
The last two conditions are easier to meet.
In the end, I chose the RBC Signature account. Also, RBC credit cards have points promotions, so you can look into that.
Wish everyone happy swiping and getting benefits!

Signature账户的450什么时候能到账呢?
估计要4月以后了
贡献一个自己的经历,在申请RBC信用卡的时候会根据卡里存的钱给相应的额度,额度到一定级别就可以申请级别高一些的信用卡啦。我当时是大概存了4.5w给了5K额度的Avion Platinum信用卡,赶上了5.5w点积分的开卡奖励,可以兑换一张往返亚洲和北美的经济仓。首年免年费。平时刷卡1CAD 1积分,搭配ION+信用卡可以做到1CAD 3积分。
