I find it interesting that even though I have banked with the Royal Bank of Canada for over 30 years and am about to reach age 60, that I will be charged $30 less the $7.50 seniors’ discount for a total of $22.50 per month – and immigrants will be provided with no fee banking for a year. The fee was sold to me on the basis that at age 60, having paid the higher service fee, I would no longer be charged a fee. They have gone back on their word and it seems that my $22.50 per month will help fund the immigrant program.
We let them use our money and even pay them a fee to do it while they capitalize on good Public Relations and earnings.
