If you've recently received an RBC Visa card, you'll need to activate it before making purchases or accessing cardholder benefits. The easiest way to activate your card is through RBC's secure activation platform, which allows you to complete the process securely online.
Ways to Activate Your RBC Visa Card
The most convenient method is to activate your card through the RBC activation website. Simply sign in to your RBC Online Banking account, locate your new Visa card, and follow the activation instructions provided on-screen.
Eligible cardholders may also be able to activate their RBC Visa card using the RBC Mobile App. After signing in, navigate to your card management section and follow the activation prompts.
Some RBC Visa cards include activation instructions and a customer service number on the card packaging. Calling the designated number allows you to activate your card through an automated system or customer representative.
If you prefer in-person assistance, you can visit an RBC branch where a banking representative can help activate your Visa card and answer any questions you may have.
