* RBC Financial Group retains the right to change interest rates on a discretionary basis. A committee comprised of individuals representing various authorities within RBC Dominion Securities administers these interest rates. These rates are adjusted from time to time based on various factors, including, but not limited to, competitive analysis, Bank of Canada and other bellwether rates, and/ or cash rates. Interest amounts less than $5 are neither charged nor paid on regular accounts and interest amounts less than $1 are neither charged nor paid on special product accounts. Rate changes of less than 1% will be processed on the 22nd of the month. The average daily cash balance for the month determines the tier that will be used to establish the rate.
