RBC, also known as the Royal Bank of Canada, is one of the largest banks in Canada and a leading financial institution globally. The bank offers a wide range of financial products and services to individuals, businesses, and institutions, including personal and commercial banking, investment and wealth management, insurance, and capital markets services.
When you get a quote for your Wire Transfer from RBC on their website or in-app, you can also see the RBC exchange rate, but it can be difficult to then calculate how much markup you are being charged.
While RBC do publish their exchange rates here - Foreign Exchange Currency Converter, they do not reveal the markup on these rates.
Our research shows that on average, RBC markup for foreign exchange rates is somewhere between 3 - 7.5%, depending on the amount you're sending, where you're sending it to and which currency will be received.
While all banks in Canada charge this markup, the extra amount being charged is much higher than it would be with a global money transfer specialist.
Based on 19 currency pairs
