The real RBC

  • You call them, on the number on your card
  • Never asks for your PIN
  • Never asks for a verification code
  • Never asks for your password
  • Never asks you to click a link in a fraud alert

THE SCAM

  • "This is RBC fraud prevention"
  • "Read me the code we just sent you"
  • "Your account is locked, verify here"
  • "Your Avion points expire today"

Questions people ask

Is 1-800-769-2512 really RBC?

Yes. It's RBC's 24-hour line for lost or stolen credit cards, listed on RBC's own website. But a caller showing this number may still be a scammer, because caller ID can be faked. Hang up and call it yourself.

Does RBC ever ask for my verification code?

No. In RBC's words: "RBC will never call, text, or email you to ask you for personal information like your account number, PIN, verification code, or password." Hang up and call the number on the back of your card.

A text says my RBC Avion points are about to expire.

Treat it as a scam. RBC says it does not share these offers by text. Check your points in the RBC Mobile app or on the Avion rewards website, typed yourself.

A caller from RBC wants me to read back a code.

Hang up. RBC says it "will never ask you to provide one-time codes or PINs to verify your identity over the phone". Then call the number on the back of your card.
