2. Card and Account Use
The Employer has authorized and requested the issuance of a Card in your name.
The Card and the Account can only be used by you and should only be used for an
Eligible Purpose, in accordance with the Employers internal policies, including (a) to
make Purchases, whether you buy in person, over the phone, using the Internet or by
mail order; (b) to make cash withdrawals, which constitute Cash Advances, at one of
Royal Bank’s branches, at another financial institution or at an ATM; or (c) for other
purposes that we may authorize from time to time.
If you incur Debt by using the Card number only, without having presented the Card to
a merchant (such as for a Purchase using the Internet), the legal effect will be as if you
had used the Card and signed a sales draft or receipt or entered your PIN.
You agree that the Card and the Account will not be used for gambling, online gaming,
illicit drug transactions, or any other unlawful purpose. We may refuse to authorize
certain types of transactions at our discretion.
The Employer may also impose restrictions on all aspects of the use of the Card,
including usage restriction to selected merchant category code groups.
Different types of Commercial Cards come with different features and services. The
Employer may, at its discretion, allow you to participate in and make use of additional
optional features and/or services. You may not use the Card to obtain any such features
and/or services unless you have received authorization from the Employer. If the
Employer requests any of these optional features and/or services, Royal Bank may
send you a separate document outlining any additional terms and conditions for the
optional features and/or services.
3. Cash Advances
If the Employer has selected this option, you may use the Card to obtain cash by either:
(a) making a cash withdrawal from the Account at a Royal Bank branch or ATM, or at
any other financial institution’s branch or ATM; or
(b) making a Quasi-Cash Transaction.
If you are uncertain as to whether a particular transaction will be treated as a Cash
Advance or as a Purchase, you should contact the Program Administrator.
Interest is always charged on a Cash Advance, from the day the Cash Advance is made.
Cash Advance Fees also apply to certain Cash Advances. These fees are set out in the
“Other Fees” section of this Agreement.
4. Account Credit Limit
The Program Administrator will set the Account Credit Limit for the Account. The
Account Credit Limit represents the maximum credit available on the Account.

relationship is with the Employer. We will not ascertain your personal creditworthiness
by obtaining credit bureau reports at the time the Card is issued or periodically
thereafter. However, we may make other inquiries or checks about you as required by
law or regulation, for example, in compliance with anti-money laundering obligations.
Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, Royal Bank will not communicate with
you directly and will not send you any marketing promotion or offer. However, if you are
a participant in the RBC Rewards program, Royal Bank may communicate with you if
you have provided consent and your email address for that purpose.

Royal Bank has, prior to issuing a Card to you, obtained from the Employer, and kept,
the following information about you: your legal first and last name, business address,
business email address, business phone number and employee identification number.
In certain circumstances, Royal Bank may request additional information or
documentation from the Employer in order to verify your identity at a level sufficient
to allow Royal Bank to issue a Card to you in compliance with applicable laws. The
Employer may also furnish to Royal Bank information about your use of the Card and/
or the Account, and other pertinent information such as delinquency information,
employment/contract status and location, and any other related tracking information.
You consent to all such use and transfer of any such information.
The Employer is liable for all Debt on the Account and governs your use of the Card.
The Employer (which may include your direct supervisor) will have access to any and
all information concerning your use of the Card and the Account, including detailed
billing information forming part of a total charge and information pertaining to each
Purchase, Cash Advance or other transaction charged to the Account and all your
activities as a Cardholder.
Royal Bank will process and analyze information about how Cardholders use the Cards
to develop reports that may be made available to the Employer. Royal Bank will remain
the owner of such information and reports.
Royal Bank may also provide information related to amounts charged to the Account
to selected merchants and suppliers used by you, when requested by such merchants
and suppliers to analyze business trends, handle disputed transactions and generally
for marketing purposes. Provision of such data will be in an anonymous format and
non-attributable to you.
19. Changing Your Contact Information
You will tell the Employer or the Program Administrator if you change your address,
e-mail address or telephone number and will give the Employer or Program
Administrator other information that we may need from time to time to keep our
records up to date.
20. Amendments
Royal Bank has the right to amend or change this Agreement, as well as any service and
benefits that come with the Card, at any time. If required by applicable law, Royal Bank
or the Employer will notify you in writing of the change.
21. Termination
Charging privileges available to you will be withdrawn upon (i) abuse of charge
privileges by you (including, but not limited to, the failure of your obligation to use the
Card and/or the Account for an Eligible Purpose only, and to comply with any other
obligation as provided in this Agreement); (ii) termination of your employment with
the Employer; or (iii) termination or suspension of the Commercial Card Program
agreement between Royal Bank and the Employer.
22. Governing Law
This Agreement shall be interpreted and governed in accordance with the laws of the
province or territory in which the Employer resides (or the laws of the Province of
Ontario if the Employer resides outside Canada) and the applicable laws of Canada.
23. Language
Royal Bank and the Employer have expressly requested that the Agreement and all
related documents, including Account Statements and notices, be drawn up in the
English language. Banque Royale et l’Employeur ont expressément demandé que cette
convention et tout document y afférent, y compris tout relevé de compte et tout avis,
soient rédigés dans la langue anglaise.
24. How to Contact Royal Bank
If you need help or have questions about the Card, the Account or RBC NextLogic,
contact the Program Administrator or Royal Bank during regular business hours using
the contact information indicated on the Account Statements or calling the number
indicated on the back of the Card (1-888 ROYAL 3-4).
The Account Credit Limit will either be indicated on the documents accompanying the
Card when it is issued or the Program Administrator will inform you of the Account
Credit Limit. The Account Credit Limit will also be indicated on each Billing Statement.
You must observe the Account Credit Limit such that amounts owing on the Account
must not exceed the Account Credit Limit. However, Royal Bank may, from time to time
(but is not required to), permit the Debt to exceed the Account Credit Limit. Royal Bank
may also, at any time, refuse to permit the Debt owing on the Account to exceed the
Account Credit Limit and require any balances which exceed the Account Credit Limit
to be paid immediately.
If the Debt owing on the Account exceeds the Account Credit Limit at any time during an
Account Statement period, an “Overlimit Fee” will be charged to the Account, which will
appear on the next Billing Statement.
The Program Administrator may increase or decrease the Account Credit Limit at any
time, without prior notice to you.
5. PIN and Other Security Features
You must protect the security of the Card and the Account at all times. When you receive
the Card, you will be prompted to select a PIN. In the documentation accompanying the
Card, Royal Bank will explain to you how to select your PIN and how to change it. Royal
Bank will treat your PIN as your authorization whenever it is used with the Card. Any
transactions done using the Card with the PIN will have the same legal effect as if you
have signed a sales draft.
To prevent misuse of the Card, you must ensure that you:
sign the Card in ink as soon as it is received;
keep the Card secure at all times;
regularly check that you still have the Card in your possession;
do not let anyone else use the Card;
ensure that you retrieve the Card after using it; and
never give out the Card details, such as the CVV number (the 3-digit number in
reverse italics on the back of the Card), except when using the Card in accordance
with this Agreement.
To protect your PIN, you must ensure that you:
select a PIN which cannot be easily guessed;
do not select a PIN using a combination of your name, date of birth, telephone
numbers, address or social insurance numbers;
take care to prevent anyone else seeing your PIN when you are selecting it or
changing it, over the phone or through an ATM;
memorize your PIN;
do not write your PIN on the Card;
do not keep a record of your PIN with or near the Card or Account details;
do not tell your PIN to anyone; and
take care to prevent anyone else from seeing your PIN when entering it into an ATM
or other electronic device.
No one but you is permitted to know or use your PIN or any other security codes such
as passwords, access codes and Card numbers that may be used or required for
Internet or other transactions. You will keep these security codes confidential and
separate as well.
6. Card Renewal and Replacement
A renewal Card will be issued to you before the expiration date indicated on the Card.
Renewal and replacement Cards will continue to be sent to you at the most current
business address Royal Bank has on file for you, provided the Account is active and in
good standing, until the Employer advises Royal Bank to stop. As soon as you receive
the new Card, you must activate it and destroy the old Card.
7. If the Card Expires
The Card expires at the end of the month indicated on the Card. You must not use the
Card or the Card number if the Card has expired or after the Account is closed, and you
must destroy your Card.
8. Problems With a Purchase
Royal Bank is not responsible for any problem you may have with a Purchase. If you
have a problem with anything purchased using the Card, you must settle the problem
or dispute directly with the store or merchant.
In some circumstances, Royal Bank may be able to help you resolve disputed
transactions. If you wish to discuss a dispute, contact Royal Bank during regular
business hours using the contact information indicated on the Account Statements or
calling the number indicated on the back of the Card (1-888 ROYAL
®
3-4).
Royal Bank is not responsible if the Card is not honoured by a merchant at any time or
for any other problem or dispute you may have with a merchant.
9. Credit
If a store or merchant issues a credit or otherwise gives a refund to you, Royal Bank
will reduce the balance of the Account by the amount of the refund. However, if interest
and/or Fees have been charged as a result of the transaction, Royal Bank will not refund
the interest and/or the Fees.
You agree that you will not resell or return for a cash refund any goods, tickets, or
services obtained with the Card. However, you may return an item to a merchant
honouring the Card for credit to the Account if that merchant permits such return.
10. Account Closure/Card Revocation or Suspension of Use
The Employer may close the Account and cancel the Card at any time.
Royal Bank may also revoke or suspend your right to use the Card and the Account at
any time, without prior notice to you, including when the amounts owing on the Account
exceed the Account Credit Limit.
11. Ownership of the Card
The Card remains the property of Royal Bank. You must surrender the Card to the
Employer or to Royal Bank upon request.
12. Unauthorized Transactions
If a Card is lost, stolen or has never been received by you after it has been requested
by the Employer, or if you suspect the Card is lost or stolen or being misused, you
must inform Royal Bank immediately using the contact information indicated on the
Account Statements or calling the number indicated on the back of the Card
(1-888 ROYAL 3-4). You must also inform the Program Administrator immediately.
After Royal Bank has been informed that the Card has been or may have been lost,
stolen, misused, or the Card remains unreceived, Royal Bank will be able to prevent the
use of the Card and Card number.
If we suspect unauthorized or fraudulent use of the Card or Card number, the use of the
Card can be blocked or prevented without notice to you.
If a Card that you have reported lost or stolen is later found, you must destroy it and
wait for the replacement Card. You must also select a different PIN for the replacement
Card.
13. Account Statements, Verification and Disputes
Each month, you will be given access to or provided with either a Memo Statement or a
Billing Statement, depending on the billing type the Employer has selected.
Royal Bank will make the Account Statements available electronically, through RBC
NextLogic. The Account Statements will remain available to you in RBC NextLogic for
consultation and printing at no charge for six (6) months following the Statement Date.
They may also be retrieved after six (6) months, and/or be provided in paper format
upon request to the Program Administrator, for a Fee. Account Statements are also
available in other alternative formats for accessibility purposes, upon request. Please
contact the Program Administrator for more information.
Royal Bank will not provide the Account Statement if there has been no activity on the
Account during an Account Statement period and no Debt is owing.
If the date on which Royal Bank would ordinarily prepare the Account Statement falls
on a date for which Royal Bank does not process statements (for example, weekends
and certain holidays), Royal Bank will prepare the Account Statement on the next
statement processing day. The Payment Due Date will be adjusted accordingly.
Each month, you will be responsible for ensuring that you have promptly examined the
Account Statement and each transaction, Interest Rate, charge and Fee recorded on it.
You will notify Royal Bank of any error, omission or objection to the Account Statement,
or to an entry or balance recorded on it, within thirty (30) days from the Statement Date
shown on that Account Statement.
14. Fees and Charges
14.1. Interest Rates and Charges
The current Interest Rates are set out on each Billing Statement. They are expressed
as annual percentage rates. The standard Interest Rates are shown in the chart
outlined in the “Standard Annual Fees, Grace Periods and Interest Rates” section of this
Agreement. The Interest Rates may change from time to time.
The Employer can avoid interest on both Purchases and Fees on the Account by always
paying the New Balance in full on or before the Payment Due Date, every month.
Cash Advances never benefit from an interest-free Grace Period; this means that
interest is always charged from the transaction date.
Royal Bank does not charge interest on interest.
14.2. Currency of Fees
The currency of the Fees listed in this Agreement is as follows:
(a) Canadian dollars: for the Commercial Avion, Commercial Cash Back and
Commercial Visa Cards; and
(b) U.S. dollars: for the U.S. Dollar Commercial Card.
14.3. Standard Annual Fees, Grace Periods and Interest Rates
The following provides some guidance with respect to standard non-refundable annual
fees, Grace Periods and standard Interest Rates for the Commercial Cards.
The annual fee may be different from that shown in this Agreement if the terms and
conditions for other banking and related services the Employer has with Royal Bank
provide otherwise.

14.4. Other Fees
(a) Cash Advance Fee: For all Commercial Cards except the Commercial U.S. Dollar
Card, when you obtain the following types of Cash Advances, a $3.50 fee for each
transaction will be charged to the Account, unless otherwise stated:
(i) a cash withdrawal charged to the Account at one of Royal Bank’s branches or
ATMs, or at any other financial institution’s ATM, in Canada; or
(ii) a Quasi-Cash Transaction charged to the Account, in Canada.
If the Cash Advance occurs outside Canada, a $5.00 fee will be charged each time.
For the Commercial U.S. Dollar Card only, if the Cash Advance occurs in the U.S., a
$3.50 USD fee will be charged each time, and if the Cash Advance occurs outside
the U.S., a $5.00 USD fee will be charged each time.
Some factors outside of Royal Bank’s control may influence whether the Cash
Advance is treated as a domestic or a foreign transaction.
(b) Overlimit Fee: If the balance on the Account exceeds the Account Credit Limit
at any time during the Account Statement period, a $29.00 fee will be charged
to the Account on the Statement Date and on each subsequent Statement Date
if the balance remains over the limit. A maximum of one “Overlimit Fee” will be
charged to the Account per Account Statement period.
(c) Dishonoured Payment Fee: If a payment is not processed because a financial
institution returns a cheque or refuses a pre-authorized debit, a $45.00 fee will
be charged to the Account on the date the payment reversal is posted. This fee is
in addition to any other fee charged for insufficient funds in the banking account.
(d) Account Statement Paper Copy: For each paper copy of the Account Statement,
or for a reprint of the Account Statement, a $5.00 fee will be charged to the
Account. Exceptions may be granted for Account Statements provided in an
alternative format for accessibility purposes. For each Billing Statement update
obtained from a Royal Bank branch in Canada, a $1.50 fee will be charged to the
Account.
(e) Transaction Receipt Copy Fee: For a copy of any receipt that relates to a
transaction on the current Account Statement, no fee will be charged. Otherwise,
a $2.00 fee for each copy will be charged each time the situation occurs. Receipt
copies are not always available for Purchases made using a Card with a PIN.
14.5. Foreign Currency Conversion
Except for the Commercial U.S. Dollar Card, which is billed in U.S. dollars, all transactions
shown on the Account Statement are billed in Canadian currency.
The exchange rate shown on your Account Statement, to six decimal places, is
calculated by dividing the converted Canadian dollar (CAD) amount, rounded to the
nearest cent, by the transaction currency amount. It may differ from the original
benchmark rate because of this rounding. The CAD amount charged to your Account
is 2.5% over the benchmark rate. Some foreign currency transactions are converted
directly to CAD, while others may be converted first to U.S. dollars, then to CAD. In
either case, the benchmark rate will be the actual exchange rate applied at the time
of the conversion, and is generally set daily. The original benchmark rate at the time a
transaction was converted may be obtained at usa.visa.com/support/consumer/travel-
support/exchange-rate-calculator.html. If interest is being charged to your Account, it
will also be charged on the full value of your foreign purchases, as determined by our
exchange rate. For Commercial U.S. Dollar Cards, transactions are shown in U.S. Dollars
and the same principles will apply if an amount is charged in a currency other than U.S.
Dollars. If you have any questions, please call us at 1-888 ROYAL
®
3-4 (1-888-769-2534).
15. Payments
15.1. Liability for the Debt
The Employer is liable for all Debt charged to the Account. You, the Cardholder, are not
liable for any Debt charged to the Account.
15.2. Responsibility for Making Payments
(a) Corporate Billing: If the Employer has selected “Corporate Billing” as the billing
type, you will receive a Memo Statement each month. You will be responsible
for ensuring that you have promptly examined the Account Statement and each
transaction recorded on it and that there is no error, in accordance with the
Account Statements, Verification and Disputes” section of this Agreement. Other
actions may be required from you by the Employer or the Program Administrator
in connection with the Employers responsibility for making payments.
(b) Individual Billing: If the Employer has selected “Individual Billing” as the billing
type, you will receive a Billing Statement each month. The Employer will explain
to you what your responsibilities in connection with payments are and/or who
you should send the Account Statement to for payment. If you are uncertain,
please contact the Program Administrator for more information.
All payments must be made in accordance with the instructions indicated at
www.rbc.com/payments and in accordance with the Employer’s policy for such
payments.
i. When to Make a Payment
A payment on the Account must be made by the Payment Due Date shown on
each Billing Statement. Even when normal postal service is disrupted for any
reason, payments must continue to be made on the Account.
Payments sent to Royal Bank by mail or made through another financial
institution’s branch, ATM or online banking service may take several days
to reach Royal Bank. A payment is not credited to the Account and does not
automatically adjust the available Account Credit Limit until Royal Bank has
processed the payment. It may take several days to adjust the available Account
Credit Limit depending on how the payment is made.
Payments can be made in full or in part at any time.
ii. Minimum Payment
The Minimum Payment amount will be shown on each Billing Statement. Any
past-due amounts will be included in the Minimum Payment amount.
Any amount that exceeds the Account Credit Limit must be paid immediately,
even though Royal Bank may not yet have sent a Billing Statement on which that
excess appears.
The Minimum Payment must be made by the Payment Due Date each month for
your Account to remain up-to-date, even if Royal Bank is delayed in or prevented
from making available, for any reason, any one or more Billing Statements.
iii. No Over Payment
You are not permitted to make a payment on the Account exceeding the Account
Credit Limit, unless the Debt at the time of the payment is more than the Account
Credit Limit.
If a payment of more than the Account Credit Limit is made, such over payment
will not have the effect of increasing the Account Credit Limit and/or provide you
with additional credit. Also, interest will not be paid on the positive balance.
iv. Pre-Authorized Bill Payments
If pre-authorized bill payments have been set up on the Account, and you wish
to discontinue any pre-authorized bill payment, you must contact the merchant
in writing and then check a subsequent Billing Statement to ensure that the
payments have, in fact, stopped.
If the payments have not stopped despite your instructions to a merchant, Royal
Bank may be able to help you if Royal Bank is given a copy of the written request
to the merchant.
If requested by the Employer, you may have to provide the Program Administrator
with a current list of pre-authorized bill payment arrangements with each payee
that are to be paid using the Account.
16. RBC NextLogic
As part of the Commercial Card Program, Royal Bank offers the Employer and
Cardholders access to RBC NextLogic and its services, on certain terms and conditions.
You will have to access RBC NextLogic to consult and review transactions on the
Account and to retrieve the Account Statement each month.
The Account Credit Limit will either be indicated on the documents accompanying the
Card when it is issued or the Program Administrator will inform you of the Account
Credit Limit. The Account Credit Limit will also be indicated on each Billing Statement.
You must observe the Account Credit Limit such that amounts owing on the Account
must not exceed the Account Credit Limit. However, Royal Bank may, from time to time
(but is not required to), permit the Debt to exceed the Account Credit Limit. Royal Bank
may also, at any time, refuse to permit the Debt owing on the Account to exceed the
Account Credit Limit and require any balances which exceed the Account Credit Limit
to be paid immediately.
If the Debt owing on the Account exceeds the Account Credit Limit at any time during an
Account Statement period, an “Overlimit Fee” will be charged to the Account, which will
appear on the next Billing Statement.
The Program Administrator may increase or decrease the Account Credit Limit at any
time, without prior notice to you.
5. PIN and Other Security Features
You must protect the security of the Card and the Account at all times. When you receive
the Card, you will be prompted to select a PIN. In the documentation accompanying the
Card, Royal Bank will explain to you how to select your PIN and how to change it. Royal
Bank will treat your PIN as your authorization whenever it is used with the Card. Any
transactions done using the Card with the PIN will have the same legal effect as if you
have signed a sales draft.
To prevent misuse of the Card, you must ensure that you:
sign the Card in ink as soon as it is received;
keep the Card secure at all times;
regularly check that you still have the Card in your possession;
do not let anyone else use the Card;
ensure that you retrieve the Card after using it; and
never give out the Card details, such as the CVV number (the 3-digit number in
reverse italics on the back of the Card), except when using the Card in accordance
with this Agreement.
To protect your PIN, you must ensure that you:
select a PIN which cannot be easily guessed;
do not select a PIN using a combination of your name, date of birth, telephone
numbers, address or social insurance numbers;
take care to prevent anyone else seeing your PIN when you are selecting it or
changing it, over the phone or through an ATM;
memorize your PIN;
do not write your PIN on the Card;
do not keep a record of your PIN with or near the Card or Account details;
do not tell your PIN to anyone; and
take care to prevent anyone else from seeing your PIN when entering it into an ATM
or other electronic device.
No one but you is permitted to know or use your PIN or any other security codes such
as passwords, access codes and Card numbers that may be used or required for
Internet or other transactions. You will keep these security codes confidential and
separate as well.
6. Card Renewal and Replacement
A renewal Card will be issued to you before the expiration date indicated on the Card.
Renewal and replacement Cards will continue to be sent to you at the most current
business address Royal Bank has on file for you, provided the Account is active and in
good standing, until the Employer advises Royal Bank to stop. As soon as you receive
the new Card, you must activate it and destroy the old Card.
7. If the Card Expires
The Card expires at the end of the month indicated on the Card. You must not use the
Card or the Card number if the Card has expired or after the Account is closed, and you
must destroy your Card.
8. Problems With a Purchase
Royal Bank is not responsible for any problem you may have with a Purchase. If you
have a problem with anything purchased using the Card, you must settle the problem
or dispute directly with the store or merchant.
In some circumstances, Royal Bank may be able to help you resolve disputed
transactions. If you wish to discuss a dispute, contact Royal Bank during regular
business hours using the contact information indicated on the Account Statements or
calling the number indicated on the back of the Card (1-888 ROYAL
®
3-4).
Royal Bank is not responsible if the Card is not honoured by a merchant at any time or
for any other problem or dispute you may have with a merchant.
9. Credit
If a store or merchant issues a credit or otherwise gives a refund to you, Royal Bank
will reduce the balance of the Account by the amount of the refund. However, if interest
and/or Fees have been charged as a result of the transaction, Royal Bank will not refund
the interest and/or the Fees.
You agree that you will not resell or return for a cash refund any goods, tickets, or
services obtained with the Card. However, you may return an item to a merchant
honouring the Card for credit to the Account if that merchant permits such return.
10. Account Closure/Card Revocation or Suspension of Use
The Employer may close the Account and cancel the Card at any time.
Royal Bank may also revoke or suspend your right to use the Card and the Account at
any time, without prior notice to you, including when the amounts owing on the Account
exceed the Account Credit Limit.
11. Ownership of the Card
The Card remains the property of Royal Bank. You must surrender the Card to the
Employer or to Royal Bank upon request.
12. Unauthorized Transactions
If a Card is lost, stolen or has never been received by you after it has been requested
by the Employer, or if you suspect the Card is lost or stolen or being misused, you
must inform Royal Bank immediately using the contact information indicated on the
Account Statements or calling the number indicated on the back of the Card
(1-888 ROYAL 3-4). You must also inform the Program Administrator immediately.
After Royal Bank has been informed that the Card has been or may have been lost,
stolen, misused, or the Card remains unreceived, Royal Bank will be able to prevent the
use of the Card and Card number.
If we suspect unauthorized or fraudulent use of the Card or Card number, the use of the
Card can be blocked or prevented without notice to you.
If a Card that you have reported lost or stolen is later found, you must destroy it and
wait for the replacement Card. You must also select a different PIN for the replacement
Card.
13. Account Statements, Verification and Disputes
Each month, you will be given access to or provided with either a Memo Statement or a
Billing Statement, depending on the billing type the Employer has selected.
Royal Bank will make the Account Statements available electronically, through RBC
NextLogic. The Account Statements will remain available to you in RBC NextLogic for
consultation and printing at no charge for six (6) months following the Statement Date.
They may also be retrieved after six (6) months, and/or be provided in paper format
upon request to the Program Administrator, for a Fee. Account Statements are also
available in other alternative formats for accessibility purposes, upon request. Please
contact the Program Administrator for more information.
Royal Bank will not provide the Account Statement if there has been no activity on the
Account during an Account Statement period and no Debt is owing.
If the date on which Royal Bank would ordinarily prepare the Account Statement falls
on a date for which Royal Bank does not process statements (for example, weekends
and certain holidays), Royal Bank will prepare the Account Statement on the next
statement processing day. The Payment Due Date will be adjusted accordingly.
Each month, you will be responsible for ensuring that you have promptly examined the
Account Statement and each transaction, Interest Rate, charge and Fee recorded on it.
You will notify Royal Bank of any error, omission or objection to the Account Statement,
or to an entry or balance recorded on it, within thirty (30) days from the Statement Date
shown on that Account Statement.
14. Fees and Charges
14.1. Interest Rates and Charges
The current Interest Rates are set out on each Billing Statement. They are expressed
as annual percentage rates. The standard Interest Rates are shown in the chart
outlined in the “Standard Annual Fees, Grace Periods and Interest Rates” section of this
Agreement. The Interest Rates may change from time to time.
The Employer can avoid interest on both Purchases and Fees on the Account by always
paying the New Balance in full on or before the Payment Due Date, every month.
Cash Advances never benefit from an interest-free Grace Period; this means that
interest is always charged from the transaction date.
Royal Bank does not charge interest on interest.
14.2. Currency of Fees
The currency of the Fees listed in this Agreement is as follows:
(a) Canadian dollars: for the Commercial Avion, Commercial Cash Back and
Commercial Visa Cards; and
(b) U.S. dollars: for the U.S. Dollar Commercial Card.
14.3. Standard Annual Fees, Grace Periods and Interest Rates
The following provides some guidance with respect to standard non-refundable annual
fees, Grace Periods and standard Interest Rates for the Commercial Cards.
The annual fee may be different from that shown in this Agreement if the terms and
conditions for other banking and related services the Employer has with Royal Bank
provide otherwise.

14.4. Other Fees
(a) Cash Advance Fee: For all Commercial Cards except the Commercial U.S. Dollar
Card, when you obtain the following types of Cash Advances, a $3.50 fee for each
transaction will be charged to the Account, unless otherwise stated:
(i) a cash withdrawal charged to the Account at one of Royal Bank’s branches or
ATMs, or at any other financial institution’s ATM, in Canada; or
(ii) a Quasi-Cash Transaction charged to the Account, in Canada.
If the Cash Advance occurs outside Canada, a $5.00 fee will be charged each time.
For the Commercial U.S. Dollar Card only, if the Cash Advance occurs in the U.S., a
$3.50 USD fee will be charged each time, and if the Cash Advance occurs outside
the U.S., a $5.00 USD fee will be charged each time.
Some factors outside of Royal Bank’s control may influence whether the Cash
Advance is treated as a domestic or a foreign transaction.
(b) Overlimit Fee: If the balance on the Account exceeds the Account Credit Limit
at any time during the Account Statement period, a $29.00 fee will be charged
to the Account on the Statement Date and on each subsequent Statement Date
if the balance remains over the limit. A maximum of one “Overlimit Fee” will be
charged to the Account per Account Statement period.
(c) Dishonoured Payment Fee: If a payment is not processed because a financial
institution returns a cheque or refuses a pre-authorized debit, a $45.00 fee will
be charged to the Account on the date the payment reversal is posted. This fee is
in addition to any other fee charged for insufficient funds in the banking account.
(d) Account Statement Paper Copy: For each paper copy of the Account Statement,
or for a reprint of the Account Statement, a $5.00 fee will be charged to the
Account. Exceptions may be granted for Account Statements provided in an
alternative format for accessibility purposes. For each Billing Statement update
obtained from a Royal Bank branch in Canada, a $1.50 fee will be charged to the
Account.
(e) Transaction Receipt Copy Fee: For a copy of any receipt that relates to a
transaction on the current Account Statement, no fee will be charged. Otherwise,
a $2.00 fee for each copy will be charged each time the situation occurs. Receipt
copies are not always available for Purchases made using a Card with a PIN.
14.5. Foreign Currency Conversion
Except for the Commercial U.S. Dollar Card, which is billed in U.S. dollars, all transactions
shown on the Account Statement are billed in Canadian currency.
The exchange rate shown on your Account Statement, to six decimal places, is
calculated by dividing the converted Canadian dollar (CAD) amount, rounded to the
nearest cent, by the transaction currency amount. It may differ from the original
benchmark rate because of this rounding. The CAD amount charged to your Account
is 2.5% over the benchmark rate. Some foreign currency transactions are converted
directly to CAD, while others may be converted first to U.S. dollars, then to CAD. In
either case, the benchmark rate will be the actual exchange rate applied at the time
of the conversion, and is generally set daily. The original benchmark rate at the time a
transaction was converted may be obtained at usa.visa.com/support/consumer/travel-
support/exchange-rate-calculator.html. If interest is being charged to your Account, it
will also be charged on the full value of your foreign purchases, as determined by our
exchange rate. For Commercial U.S. Dollar Cards, transactions are shown in U.S. Dollars
and the same principles will apply if an amount is charged in a currency other than U.S.
Dollars. If you have any questions, please call us at 1-888 ROYAL
®
3-4 (1-888-769-2534).
15. Payments
15.1. Liability for the Debt
The Employer is liable for all Debt charged to the Account. You, the Cardholder, are not
liable for any Debt charged to the Account.
15.2. Responsibility for Making Payments
(a) Corporate Billing: If the Employer has selected “Corporate Billing” as the billing
type, you will receive a Memo Statement each month. You will be responsible
for ensuring that you have promptly examined the Account Statement and each
transaction recorded on it and that there is no error, in accordance with the
Account Statements, Verification and Disputes” section of this Agreement. Other
actions may be required from you by the Employer or the Program Administrator
in connection with the Employers responsibility for making payments.
(b) Individual Billing: If the Employer has selected “Individual Billing” as the billing
type, you will receive a Billing Statement each month. The Employer will explain
to you what your responsibilities in connection with payments are and/or who
you should send the Account Statement to for payment. If you are uncertain,
please contact the Program Administrator for more information.
All payments must be made in accordance with the instructions indicated at
www.rbc.com/payments and in accordance with the Employer’s policy for such
payments.
i. When to Make a Payment
A payment on the Account must be made by the Payment Due Date shown on
each Billing Statement. Even when normal postal service is disrupted for any
reason, payments must continue to be made on the Account.
Payments sent to Royal Bank by mail or made through another financial
institution’s branch, ATM or online banking service may take several days
to reach Royal Bank. A payment is not credited to the Account and does not
automatically adjust the available Account Credit Limit until Royal Bank has
processed the payment. It may take several days to adjust the available Account
Credit Limit depending on how the payment is made.
Payments can be made in full or in part at any time.
ii. Minimum Payment
The Minimum Payment amount will be shown on each Billing Statement. Any
past-due amounts will be included in the Minimum Payment amount.
Any amount that exceeds the Account Credit Limit must be paid immediately,
even though Royal Bank may not yet have sent a Billing Statement on which that
excess appears.
The Minimum Payment must be made by the Payment Due Date each month for
your Account to remain up-to-date, even if Royal Bank is delayed in or prevented
from making available, for any reason, any one or more Billing Statements.
iii. No Over Payment
You are not permitted to make a payment on the Account exceeding the Account
Credit Limit, unless the Debt at the time of the payment is more than the Account
Credit Limit.
If a payment of more than the Account Credit Limit is made, such over payment
will not have the effect of increasing the Account Credit Limit and/or provide you
with additional credit. Also, interest will not be paid on the positive balance.
iv. Pre-Authorized Bill Payments
If pre-authorized bill payments have been set up on the Account, and you wish
to discontinue any pre-authorized bill payment, you must contact the merchant
in writing and then check a subsequent Billing Statement to ensure that the
payments have, in fact, stopped.
If the payments have not stopped despite your instructions to a merchant, Royal
Bank may be able to help you if Royal Bank is given a copy of the written request
to the merchant.
If requested by the Employer, you may have to provide the Program Administrator
with a current list of pre-authorized bill payment arrangements with each payee
that are to be paid using the Account.
16. RBC NextLogic
As part of the Commercial Card Program, Royal Bank offers the Employer and
Cardholders access to RBC NextLogic and its services, on certain terms and conditions.
You will have to access RBC NextLogic to consult and review transactions on the
Account and to retrieve the Account Statement each month.

purposes that we may authorize from time to time.

optional features and/or services. You may not use the Card to obtain any such features
and/or services unless you have received authorization from the Employer. If the
