The fast and secure way to receive money from the CRA
Many Canadians businesses are preparing to receive financial relief through the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS). To make sure you’re able to access your money faster, we encourage you to sign up to receive direct deposts from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
Registering your RBC account for CRA Direct Deposit has never been easier— simply enroll directly through RBC Online Banking for Business and RBC Express.
Why should I opt for direct deposit?
Set up is easy
Log in to your RBC Online Banking for Business or RBC Express account and enroll in just a few steps.
Receiving money is fast
Once enrolled by CRA, eligible amounts to be paid to you by the CRA will be deposited directly to your bank account — no waiting for cheque holds, or for it to be delivered in the mail.
Avoid delays
As the events surrounding COVID-19 may impact the postal service and because many RBC branches have temporarily reduced their hours or closed, enrolling in CRA Direct Deposit can provide you with access to your money faster.
Transactions are secure
Safeguarding your privacy is our top priority.
