RBC New eSavings Client Bonus Interest Rate Offer
Terms and Conditions

Interest Rate Definitions:

“Regular Interest Rate” is subject to the prime rate and means the interest rate ordinarily applicable to the RBC High Interest eSavings Account. The Regular Interest Rate is subject to change without notice, and the most current rate is posted on our Personal Accounts Interest Rates webpage, which may be viewed at https://www.rbcroyalbank.com/rates/persacct.html(opens new window);

“Promotional Interest Rate” is a combination of the Bonus Interest Rate plus the Regular Interest Rate. For example, if on August 1, 2024, the Regular Interest Rate was 1.50% per annum and the Bonus Interest Rate was 3.90% per annum, the Promotional Interest Rate would be 5.40% per annum;

“Bonus Interest Rate” means the increment over the Regular Interest Rate applicable to the Eligible eSavings Account starting on the Initial Offer Qualiﬁcation Date and continuing during the Promotional Period(s) for which you may qualify by meeting relevant Qualifying Criteria (as more particularly described below). If you meet the Qualifying Criteria described in Section B, Paragraph 2 below, you will receive the Bonus Interest Rate described therein for the ﬁrst 90 days following your Initial Offer Qualiﬁcation Date, in addition to the Regular Interest Rate. At the start of the Qualifying Period (i.e., on August 1, 2024), the annual Bonus Interest Rate was 3.90%.

Note: The Regular Interest Rate and Bonus Interest Rate are each subject to change without notice.

Provided you fulfill the applicable Qualifying Criteria (as more particularly described below) and meet all other conditions of these Terms, you will earn interest at the Promotional Interest Rate applicable during the 90-day Promotional Period on balances up to $1,000,000 in your Eligible eSavings Account.

B. Qualifying Criteria

To qualify for the Promotional Interest Rate under this RBC New eSavings Client Bonus Interest Rate Offer, you must:
- Be an Eligible Client; and
- Open an Eligible eSavings Account as the Primary Owner during the Qualifying Period. (For additional added clarity, even if you are an Eligible Client but you are not the Primary Owner on the date an Eligible eSavings Account is opened, you will not qualify to receive Promotional Interest Rate under this RBC New eSavings Client Bonus Interest Rate Offer, the benefit of this Promotional Offer.)

C. Additional Conditions (including Interest Calculation and Payment)

Interest at the Bonus Interest Rate will be calculated daily on balances up to $1,000,000 and paid monthly during the Promotional Period to the Eligible eSavings Account opened to qualify for this RBC New eSavings Client Bonus Interest Rate Offer.
Interest at the Bonus Interest Rate will be paid on a maximum of $1,000,000 of the Eligible eSavings Account’s total balance during the Promotional Period. Any portion of the Eligible eSavings Account’s total balance greater than $1,000,000 will earn interest only at the Regular Interest Rate, including during the Promotional Period.
During the Promotional Period, interest in your Eligible eSavings Account will be deposited within the first fifteen business days after the month in which it was calculated and paid through two separate interest payments and as follows:
- one interest payment calculated and paid at the Regular Interest Rate (i.e., the standard interest rate applicable to your Eligible eSavings Account regardless of this RBC New eSavings Client Bonus Interest Rate Offer); and
- a second interest payment calculated and paid at the Bonus Interest Rate applicable during the 90 days of the Promotional Period, provided you meet the Qualifying Criteria.
If the period during which interest at the Bonus Interest Rate applies ends before the last day of the last calendar month of that period, interest at the applicable rate for that period (or those periods, as relevant) will be paid fifteen business days after the last day of the applicable period(s).
The Bonus Interest Rate and/or the Regular Interest Rate may change at any time without prior notice.
At the end of the Promotional Period, all balances will earn interest only at the Regular Interest Rate.
Any Eligible eSavings Account that, prior to the payment of interest at the Bonus Interest Rate, is closed or switched to another product type which is not an RBC High Interest eSavings Account will forfeit any such interest calculated during the month in which the Eligible eSavings Account is closed or switched.

D. Limitations

If any account is switched from another RBC bank account to an Eligible eSavings Account, neither the original account nor the Eligible eSavings Account to which it was switched will be eligible for this offer.
This RBC New eSavings Client Bonus Interest Rate Offer is available for only one Eligible eSavings Account per Eligible Client, no matter how many Eligible eSavings Account you may open during the Qualifying Period. Only the ﬁrst Eligible eSavings Account opened by you as a Primary Owner during the Qualifying Period will receive the beneﬁt(s) for which you qualify under this RBC New eSavings Client Bonus Interest Rate Offer.
This RBC New eSavings Client Bonus Interest Rate Offer cannot be combined with other promotional rate offers applicable to an RBC High Interest eSavings Account.
