To help keep your accounts safe, all client cards have daily limits for transactions made outside of a branch. Your maximum daily limits and amounts remaining for ATM withdrawals, purchases, transfers and more – are available in your client card disclosure as well as in RBC Online Banking.
How to view your limits online:
- Sign in to RBC Online Banking
- Go to the “My Services” section where you can find your “Daily Transaction Limits”.
Can I change the withdrawal and purchase limits on my client (bank) card?
Yes. In online banking, you can temporarily change your daily ATM cash withdrawal limit as well as your daily in-store purchase limit. You may be able to temporarily change these limits up to three times per calendar year for a maximum duration of 60 calendar days each time.
To make temporary changes to your daily limits for ATM withdrawals or in store purchases:
- Sign in to RBC Online Banking
- On the Accounts Summary page, select Daily Transaction Limits under My Services, on the right side of the page
- Click Edit Limits above the Daily Transaction Limits table, on the right
- To set your temporary ATM withdrawal or in-store purchase limits, slide the selector right or left to increase or decrease your limit. You can also type your new limit to the nearest multiple of 10 in the box on the right
- Choose your expiry date and click Next
- Review your information and click Confirm
Please note that you can increase and decrease your limits for ATM withdrawals and in-store purchases, but you may only decrease your Third Party Payments.
Below are the definitions of the daily limits that apply to all RBC Royal Bank client cards. Refer to your client card disclosure for your specific access limit amounts.
1) Cash Withdrawal: This is your daily limit for cash withdrawals made through any RBC Royal Bank ATMs, ATMs displaying the Interac‡ or PLUS symbols and any other banking machine networks to which RBC Royal Bank may belong. Where withdrawals are in a foreign currency, the Canadian dollar equivalent (established by RBC Royal Bank at the time of withdrawal) will be used in determining whether the withdrawal meets or exceeds your daily limit.
2) Instantly Available Funds: This is the daily amount from deposits you make at any RBC Royal Bank ATM or through RBC Royal Bank Mobile Banking that is immediately available for transfer to other accounts, or to make bill payments, third party payments, purchases or cash withdrawals. Regardless of your release amount, you may not exceed any of your other daily limits.
