    I am a customer of RBC Montreal for many years and all my investments are with RBC. when I requested for changing financial adviser, I was told that there is no one except my current advisor is available! We pay so much fees for that bank and they are making money on our investment and I was denied the right to have another financial advisor after spending hours on call with an agent! When I went to the succursal, they told me to take an appointment with probably with the same advisor! it is ******** *** ************ nonsense! * ***** **** ******* ** **** ** ****

I assume a trust fund account payment from a lawyer would be pretty secure. but even tho they will deposit it and use it, they won't let you have YOUR money. and even offering to pay for a simple call to another bank to verify the account,, **** *** ** **** ** ******** ** **** ** ** **** a 15+ year account holder. ** **** *** **** **** ***** they DO NOT care about the customer.

    **** was merged with RBC back in November. I had a line of credit with **** and always paid my monthly payment on time and online. Got a letter back in September saying that **** was being bought by RBC and that my line of credit would be changed to a personal loan. Online payments would not be accepted and instead had to do pre-authorized payments. Got all of the paperwork filled out, and got a letter saying the pre-authorized payment set up was successful and that my payments would start in April. In March, **** proceeded to take 3 payments out of my account, totally $125. April rolled around and my payment didn't come out. I got a call from RBC of course asking about it, and I asked them why they hadn't taken it out (I bank with another institution, NOT RBC). They then informed me there was a problem with the set-up of my pre-authorized payments and would have to reset it. May rolled around and the same issue - the payment did not come out of my account. Another phone call from RBC asking for the payment. I again asked them why they hadn't taken it, since they are not allowing me to pay online. They advised me to go into a branch and see what the issue was. I went into the Branch to get this sorted out - they couldn't tell me what the problem was. I told them that I just wanted to pay out the entire amount, since it was a small amount and they waned to charge an obsene amount of interest and stretch it out over 48 months, which is ridiculous. So it was set up for the entire amount to come out. Well, fast forward today - 6 rude phone calls later from RBC and the money STILL has not come out of my account. Worst customer service and bank ever. No one is reading the notes on my file before they call me - they read them after. Beyond frustrated.
