Important Reminder: Beware of Email Fraud (“Phishing”)

 

Be cautious of fraudulent email (appearing to represent an RBC company) asking you to sign in and provide confidential financial details. We will never request personal information via an email.

One of the most common types of email fraud is the practice of sending phoney email messages (also known as "phishing"). The phoney emails usually look legitimate, include real company logos, and convey a sense of urgency (for example, you may be asked to validate your account information in order to prevent it from being suspended or terminated).

Please remain cautious and alert both during the pre-holiday season and throughout the year.

Under no circumstances will any RBC company or RBC employee send you an email requesting that you click on a link to sign in and verify your information.

You should NEVER respond to such an email or reveal your passwords or the answers to your personal verification questions (PVQs).
