If your PIN could not be migrated, or if you have received more than one RBC Client Card, you should have received a new PIN along with instructions on how to set a PIN of your choice. If you want to change your PIN, you may do so at an RBC branch or RBC ATM. If you have lost or do not remember your PIN, please speak to an RBC advisor.

Although we encourage you to change your PIN at your earliest convenience at an RBC ATM, you are not required to change it and may use the PIN that you were given.
