Is it just me or did most banks stop… Is it just me or did most banks stop doing the job they have been put in place to do? Or here's a good one. My wife and I in June attempted to buy our first home. I tried to borrow 20k over 20 years with 5k down. I had an existing load balance for the valve of 7k remaining. The bank, this bank to be exact, RBC said. You need to pay off the loan and then we would approve you. So I did just that. The next morning I get an email from the broker saying we had been denied. That hit different! Fwd to December of the same year only 5 months later we needed a new or more powerful truck for our landscaping business. December being a busy month both winter and the holiday season. My mind was a bit per occupied and I wasn't paying much attention to what the dealership cooked up. But really that not here nor there if you think about it. Everything they lied about should have been caught by the bank considering they were about to lend me 5 times what I want less than 6 months ago! Nope missed every single one. Including the drivers license number not being a license at all and just my ID number. Yes I am 40 years old and have never had my license not even my learners. That's a story for another day though. Well I got approved for this loan of $105K. Absolutely insane and makes no sense whatsoever. Unless the bank like the dealership are doing things to intentionally hurt you this makes no sense. Yes I absolutely missed some payments as I couldn't afford this truck but I do need it for my business so I tried to get a second opinion and they happened to find 25K in an extended warranty I didn't need so I canceled it and was in contact with RBC about what has happened why payments were late and what my intentions were. The representative I spoke with agreed this was a good idea to pay off my outstanding balance and put towards my equity. Then continue to try to keep up with my payments and someday much sooner now lower the payments. Well I guess while we were waiting for this check to arrive, someone had decided to change the plan and set in motion the report of my truck. During this time from when this choice was made and them coming to repo the truck. The cheque came I had no idea what was transpiring as I thought we made a deal and went to an RBC to deposit the cheque. 2 days later they showed up a took the truck. I am at such a loss now. Like I don't even know what to do. If I want the truck back I need to provide paperwork I can't legally obtain because I don't have my license. These documents are in my wife's name and her name isn't on the loan papers. Professional malpractice at its finest if I do say so myself. Guess I should probably find a lawyer, this one's about to get wild!

Absolutely the worst banking experience… Absolutely the worst banking experience ever!!! They don’t even deserve a 1 star rating. Steer clear do your research before opening an bank account there are options for no fee accounts in Canada

I trusted that bank My experience is that fraudulent cheques were accepted, almost $50.000 was taken out with no questions asked by the bank, however after one of my accounts was put into overdraft they wanted me to pay not only the overdraft but the $5 x 2 charges for handling my affairs so badly.

Worst bank in Canada I was one of the customers who migrated when they acquired HSBC Canada, and I can say that, without a doubt, it's been a massive downgrade. Online banking barely has the capacity to handle a variety of requests. The call centre will tell you to go to the branch to do certain tasks, and then the branch will tell you to call the call centre. It's absolutely bizarre how ill-prepared they have been to absorb HSBC Canada. I will close my account with them as soon as reasonably possible, and I wouldn't be surprised if most former HSBC customers do the same within 1 year.

I gave one star but they don’t even… I gave one star but they don’t even deserve that. Been a nightmare banking with RBC. I will not bank with them ever again and I strongly advise you guys to stay away from RBC. I’ve had nothing but nightmare with these guys.
