This includes ATMs that aren\u2019t even on the RBC ATM-network. Just keep in mind that you may still need to pay ATM fees to the provider of the bank machine to be able to use it. (FYI\u2014An ATM operator surcharge, also called convenience fee, may be charged by other ATM operators. The convenience fee is not a Royal Bank fee. It is added directly to the amount of your cash withdrawal. All clients who use non-RBC ATMs may be charged a convenience fee regardless of the type of account they hold.)<\/p><h3>How do I open an RBC VIP Banking Account<\/h3><h4 class=\"p1\">Eligibility requirements<\/h4><p class=\"p1\">To apply for an RBC VIP Banking Account, you need to meet the following criteria:<\/p><ul class=\"list-7\"><li class=\"p1\">Be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident who is at least 18 years old (19 in some provinces) or a non-resident living in Canada or planning to move to Canada.<\/li><\/ul><h4 class=\"p1\">Required documents and information<\/h4><ul class=\"list-7\"><li class=\"p1\">Your name, residential status and contact information<\/li><li class=\"p1\">Your Social Insurance Number (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/employment-social-development\/services\/sin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SIN<\/a>) (optional) and date of birth<\/li><li class=\"p1\">Your email address and phone number<\/li><li class=\"p1\">Proof of ID: a driver\u2019s licence or passport<\/li><\/ul><h3>How do I deposit or withdraw my money?<\/h3><p class=\"p1\">It\u2019s easy to make withdrawals from your account using your debit card.
