r/rbc

opened a bank account with them, did the qualifying tasks, waited the 20 days and more, called them about it and still no answer 😭

It’s legit isn’t it?

I’ve been in my current role (GG08 level) for about 13 months. During a recent career development discussion, my manager mentioned she is very satisfied with my performance. However, she noted that I would need to wait until at least after the year-end review process because there are currently no open positions/headcount at the next level.
I want to better understand how internal promotion cycles work here and what to expect regarding compensation.

Promotion Timing & Process: How long does the process usually take to build a promotion case, or when the next promotion starts usually starts at rbc?

Salary Percentage Increase: What is a realistic salary percentage increase for moving from GG08 to GG07?

Band Placement & Negotiation: A standard 10%–15% increase would place me near the bottom of the GG07 Zone B. Is it realistic to negotiate higher than 10%–15% upon promotion, or do standard HR promotion caps usually apply?

Thank you in advance for your insights.

My mom recently passed away suddenly. She was an RBC customer, living in Ontario. To complicate things, I'm her only son but have been living in New Zealand since 2011. I don't believe my mom had a will. I will be back in Canada this week for the funeral and to try and sort things out.

Can someone let me know the best way to go about starting the process of closing out my mom's account? I know she had a banking account and credit card through RBC. I still need to find my mom's SIN card in her apartment but I know that my wife's family has been able to secure her wallet so I believe her bank card is in it. I will obviously get a death certificate but what is the best way to go about this? I tried calling RBC but was on hold for too long. I was going to go into her branch once I arrive this week to start the process.

I know her tablet is secured so I was going to see if I could get into her banking app to see what bills she has been paying to figure out who to notify. I don't expect she had a ton of money, maybe $10K or so. It would be great be able to access those funds to help cover some of the cost of the funeral but not sure how that would work.

Do I need to get a lawyer for this? I feel pressed for time as I need to leave Canada on October 26 so I want to try and get things rolling before I leave, or at least have things setup so that I can continue the process from New Zealand.

What's messed up is one of our last conversations, my mom talked about putting me on her account so I could have access. I advised her to talk to the bank to see the best way to go about this but assume she never got the chance. I was also an RBC customer and had put my mom as a joint account holder so she could deal with stuff if anything came up after we moved from Canada but I closed that account in 2016.

Any advice is appreciated.

EDIT - Thank you for all the reply's. There is a lot of good info and I appreciate everyone taking the time to share. I think I am just going to see what happens and try not to get too stressed. I just want to make sure that what ever my mom had in her bank doesn't get taken by the bank. She wasn't rich but she worked hard for it and I know she would want that to go to her grandkids for whatever they needed. I'd also like to try and offset some of the travel and funeral costs, as selfish as that may sound.

I’ve followed each of RBCs security teams steps to unrestrict my account, I went to the branch to handle their tasks. Called them back just to find out that It wasn’t enough, so they fully locked me out of my account and my money. Any ideas on how to tackle this now? it’s the weekend, the branches are closed, can’t even use my debit card.

RBC has been nothing but a pain to use as a customer.

Thanks

I recently closed my new home three weeks ago, and my mortgage is with RBC. Could someone please let me know how many days RBC typically takes to deposit cashback and Avion Reward points after the closing process?

does anyone know how long it usually takes to hear back for winter 2027 co-op positions? I applied late aug right when the posting came out but it still says application received :/
