RBC Signature No Limit Banking Account Review
Our take: Unlimited debit transactions, free Interac e-Transfers and fee-waived overdraft protection for $16.95/month — but RBC reduces that fee through relationship-based rebates rather than a simple balance threshold, and the current welcome offer is a physical iPad, not cash.
- Goes straight to RBC
- Our review
The RBC Signature No Limit Banking Account is RBC’s mid-tier everyday chequing account, sitting between the entry-level RBC Day to Day Banking ($4/month) and RBC Advantage Banking ($12.95/month) accounts below it, and the premium RBC VIP Banking ($30/month) account above it. It bundles unlimited debit transactions, free money transfers and fee-waived overdraft protection for a flat $16.95/month — but unlike several competing big-bank accounts, RBC doesn’t offer a simple balance threshold to waive that fee outright. Here’s what you actually get, and where the account’s marketing claims need a closer look.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I avoid the RBC Signature No Limit Banking Account’s monthly fee?
RBC doesn’t waive this account’s $16.95 fee with a simple minimum balance the way some competitors do. Instead, the fee is reduced through RBC’s Value Program: enrolling other eligible RBC products and completing qualifying activities can bring it down to as low as $4/month, or $12.95/month under the Seniors Rebate if you’re 65 or older.
Is the RBC iPad welcome offer just for opening the account?
The offer requires opening an eligible RBC chequing account, including the Signature No Limit Banking Account, and meeting RBC’s qualifying criteria before the offer ends November 2, 2026. Check RBC’s offer page for the full conditions, since eligibility and reward tiers (iPad, iPad Air, iPad Pro or MacBook Air) can change.
Does the RBC Signature No Limit Banking Account charge ATM fees?
Not for non-RBC Interac ATMs in Canada — those are free. Using a PLUS System ATM (the international Visa/Mastercard-style network) costs $3 in Canada or the U.S., and $5 outside North America.
Does the RBC Signature No Limit Banking Account pay interest?
No. It’s a chequing account and pays no interest on balances. RBC’s High Interest eSavings Account is the separate product for earning interest.
