Credit and lending

Banking and borrowing

Access capital to take advantage of the opportunities available to you while maintaining the integrity of your portfolio and financial plan.

You may be looking to fund a major purchase, invest in a new business, purchase a vacation property or diversify your investment portfolio. Whatever your goals, we can provide various customized credit and lending solutions suited to your immediate and longer-term objectives.

At RBC Private Banking, our in-depth knowledge, guidance and dedicated service will help you access the additional capital you need to expand your horizons.

Personal credit and lending

We understand your needs and goals are uniquely yours. Taking these into consideration and with the guidance of a dedicated manager and credit structures, your RBC Private Banking team will find an ideal solution for you. Our customized credit and lending solutions can help you:

  • Build your wealth by acquiring additional assets or diversifying income sources

  • Manage your risk by diversifying asset types and mitigating fluctuations in interest rates and international currencies
