RBC iPhone and BlackBerry app “coming soon”

By on November 30, 2010 at 2:32pm in Mobile News


ING, CIBC, TD Bank, Desjardins, Scotiabank all have some sort of mobile banking app (iPhone, BlackBerry, Android) and for some reason RBC (the largest financial institution in Canada) to date doesn’t… but good news for customers as it’s “coming soon”.

RBC has posted a splash page with really old images on their site stating an iPhone and BlackBerry app will be released shortly. There is the standard features that include the ability to pay bills, transfer funds, check account balances, Use Interac Email Money Transfers and locate branches and ATMs.

Progress is good!
You can sign up for updates here at RBC
(Thanks Max!)

  1. Not surprised that Android is missing from the list of operating systems.

  3. I’d be scared to use this, two of the biggest fee gouging industries united in one place.

    • People are moving more and more to smartphones, and towards data consumption through apps. Smartphones are handling regular internet better every day, so why would a company spend money improving a mobile internet site?

  5. Why not do like desjardins? A mobile-optimized version of their web site. This way it works on all platforms and doesn’t have to be approved by steve jobs.

  6. ” An email will be sent to you within the coming months that will outline how to directly download the app to your smartphone. ”

    Wait, in the coming months?

  7. Not surprising that they left our Android. Seems like TD is the only one with the app for Android it looks like. Another reason why they are better.

  8. Still waiting for PC Financail to release one. I wouldn’t think it would be too hard. They should ask CIBC for help.

  9. PC needs to either be supported on the CIBC app or make their own! I’ve been told that things like this are developed in direct relation to customer complaints- so if you want a PC iPhone app email them and complain!

  10. I’ve already contacted RBC directly regarding Android. Their response is that while they’re not saying they won’t be creating Android or Windows Phone 7 apps, at the moment, they are only focusing on iOS and Blackberry.

    Who knows, it may come in the future. Kind of like what TD did.

  14. FYI: the “online banking agreement change notice” that RBC sent as part of this says that the change is effective Dec 17. I’m assuming that means we won’t see it before the 17th, but who knows how long after that date.

  15. Well, if they have it for BB, it’s only a matter of time before it’s on Android. The two aren’t all that different to develop for, really.
