RBC personal loan features

Why should you choose an RBC personal loan? The following key features and benefits could make this lender worth your while:

  • Flexible repayment periods. Pay off your debt over 1 to 5 years, depending on whether you want smaller or larger repayments.
  • Fixed or variable rate. A variable rate can save you interest if the prime rate goes down. RBC allows you to switch from a fixed rate to a variable rate when this happens.
  • Convenient payment options. You have the flexibility to make your payments weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly. The RBC Online Banking platform also allows you to change your payment account, amount, frequency, and due dates.
  • No prepayment penalties. It’s also possible to make early repayments and close your account early through RBC Online Banking, without penalty.
  • Option to skip your payment. You can skip up to one month’s payment per year, but keep in mind interest will keep accumulating.
  • Credit insurance. This covers your payments in the event of disability, critical illness, or death.
