Worst Bank In Canada Worst Bank In Canada. I unfortunately became an RBC customer following HSBC Canada's departure. Roughly two weeks later, I receive a cold email from them asking me about my tax residency. I called RBC to ask some questions about the form and I was treated like an idiot during the call. I told the RBC employee on the call that his answers were not helping me and he became very arrogant and said bye-bye and hung up the phone. Unbelievable! My parents were previously RBC clients and when my father passed away, they gave my mom an unbelievable hassle to handle my dad's accounts. At that time I was not an RBC client, but was helping my mom handle matters related to my father. I asked the RBC employee why she was making everything extra difficult and she said she was following policy. A few months later my mom went to RBC to withdraw her funds from the account and the teller inquired why. My mom replied that it was due to a horrible experience dealing with RBC. The teller didn't respond and handed my mom her funds. In the end my mom moved all her business to Scotia Bank and was treated with dignity and trust. Overall, RBC treats their clients like criminals and morons. I never thought a bank would cause my life so much drama and the sad part is that even though the RBC employees know you are unsatisfied they just ignore it.

Terrible services I gave one start because I could not give a negative one. RBC’s system did not perform well with the merger with HSBC. None of my preset payments went through on the April 1st. I went to the branch, contacted my account manager, related staff in RBC, no one really helps …no real person at call center… it’s shameful this largest Canadian bank. It is even embracing its CEO boasted to media saying the bank will put the clients on priority… anyway, today is April 11, RBC still cannot give me a timeline when the problem will be solved.

I have a bank draft cheque asking to be… I have a bank draft cheque asking to be cancelled and return back the amount to my chequing accnt..process was 15days the cash will return but the hell almost two monts still waiting follow-up to the branch fall in line..that i realized that my bank for 12 years is very disappointing…this institution is not good for business not to help but yo oppressed you!

RBC's virtual assistant answering service is an insult to customers… This virtual assistant answering service is absolutely assinine. I liked when an actual human answered the 'phone, then tolerated the system when it went to a "press 1, 2 or 3, etc." style, but now it is an insult to customers with this robotic (AI?) service. It took me 2 calls trying to explain my enquiry in 2 different ways for it then to hang up on me! The third try it told me 5 times "it" didn't understand and at the 5th it told me it was putting me through to an agent (who was extremely helpful AND apologetic). I lodged a complaint with the agent. With the gigantic profits the banks make at least go back to the "Press 1, 2, 3 etc." system. Way to go, RBC! How to lose customers in a hurry!

WEBSITE SUCKS My local bramch is good, but Direct investing sucks, stay away, The web page is an abomination written by some student that knows nothig about investing or what is needed by the customer. Tried too sell a bond it would not let me, had to call support 1 hr later they had to find a price significantly lower than what was shown on the active account, then it was, call back tomorrow to make the trade over the phone. Stay AWAY,
