Add Money to Your Account

2 Convenient Ways to Add Money to Your Account

Choose from one or both of the options below to start saving—the sooner you start, the closer you’ll be to reaching your goals!

Save Automatically with Pre-Authorized Contributions

Put your savings on auto-pilot and make it part of your routine by setting up regular, automatic contributions into your account. By saving consistently (weekly, monthly, etc.) your money could grow faster over time.

  • You decide how much to save and how often—weekly, bi-weekly, monthly—it’s up to you
  • Contributions are automatically debited from your bank account (at RBC or another financial institution)
  • You can change how much you want to save, how often you contribute, and stop or pause your contributions at any time

For help setting up automatic contributions:

Call 1-800-463-3863 (toll-free) Visit your local branch
Tip: Save time at the branch! Call 1-800-769-2511 to book an appointment.

To set up automatic contributions on your own:

Sign in to Online Banking
(Requires an RBC chequing or savings account)
Not yet banking online? Enrol now

  1. From the Accounts Summary page, click the investment account you want.

  2. Select "Pre-Authorized Contributions" from the menu on the left.

  3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Note: You will be prompted to choose investments while setting up your contribution. If you’re not sure where to put your money right now, an RBC advisor can help you choose. For registered accounts, you can also choose “RBC Savings Deposit”—it’s a good place to hold your money for the short-term until you know what you want to invest in.

Tip: Set your automatic contributions to coincide with every paycheque.

  • Sign in to Online Banking.
  • From the Accounts Summary page, click “Account Services” in the My Services box on the right.
  • Select "Manage Pre-Authorized Contributions".
  • Follow the on-screen instructions.

You can also call 1-800-463-3863 (toll-free) or visit your branch.

Tip: In addition to saving automatically, you can also add extra money to your account in any amount, at any time. See how.
