RBC Vantage is the way we describe all of the powerful benefits you can get just by having an eligible RBC bank account. There is no additional cost to enjoy these benefits—and you don’t need a minimum balance.
Here are just a few ways you can take advantage of these benefits:
- Earn Avion points with an eligible bank account by enrolling your account in the Value Program and making debit purchases in-store or online using your enrolled account. legal disclaimer 13 legal disclaimer 15 legal disclaimer 12 legal disclaimer 14
- Save on monthly fees when you enrol your account in the Value Program, have 2 or more additional eligible RBC product categories, and complete at least 2 out of 3 regular account activities (a pre-authorized payment, direct deposit or bill payment) with your enrolled account each month. legal disclaimer 9 legal disclaimer 16 legal disclaimer 15 legal disclaimer 7 legal disclaimer 10
- Save 3¢/L on gas at Petro-Canada with every fill-up using your linked RBC card. legal disclaimer 14 legal disclaimer 17 legal disclaimer 16 legal disclaimer 15
