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!

RBC is absolutely disgusting and their… RBC is absolutely disgusting and their policy’s make no sense. I have been doing business with them for 3+ years and I wanted to increase my credit limit from 1000 to 3000 and they wanted 3000 cash for collateral. Criminal. I have a great credit score for my age (21). They preach how they help small businesses but fail to do so. I hope no future small businesses does business with this criminal organization again.

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.

sucks when calling the cs sucks when calling the cs. The so-called virtual assistant just as sucks as RBC, it do not understand me and insist talking rubbish. It is the most terrible virtual assistant I have ever met.

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.
