Skip-A-Payment

IMMEDIATE FINANCIAL RELIEF:

If you require immediate financial relief, we encourage clients to log into Online Banking and use our self-serve tools. If you wish to skip a mortgage payment, follow these steps:

1. Sign into Online Banking .

1. From the Account Summary page, select your mortgage account.

Select the Skip a Payment link at the bottom of the page and follow the instructions.

Longer term financial relief (up to 6 months)

RBC is committed to helping our clients during these unprecedented times, which includes up to six months of mortgage payment relief. Please connect with one of our advisors using our online booking tool for advice and support to help meet your financial needs.

What you need to know:

You will still be responsible for paying your usual creditor insurance premiums and property tax installments, where applicable.

There is no fee to skip a payment. When you skip a payment, the interest on the skipped payment is added to your outstanding balance and interest is charged on that amount. This means your mortgage balance will increase. Your payments won’t change during the term of your mortgage. Instead, at renewal your monthly payment amount increases to account for the higher balance. When you skip a payment you must still pay the portion of your payment that covers your property taxes and HomeProtector Insurance Premium, if applicable.

Note: Using Skip-a-payment may significantly increase your interest costs over the life of your mortgage, so it’s important to carefully evaluate your financial situation and priorities before exercising this option. Try our calculator to find out what it could cost.

If you wish, you can repay your skipped payment anytime during the term of your mortgage. If you have made double-up payments during the term of your mortgage, you have the option to skip an equal amount of payments.

Your request

A mortgage payment deferral is intended to support you in the event that COVID-19 affects your finances. This solution allows you to defer your regular payments (principal and interest) for 1, 2, or 3 months, depending on your situation. Certain conditions apply.

Important!

Deferred payments are added to the loan balance and accumulate interest.

You must also continue to pay the other costs included in your regular payments such as administration fees, property taxes, and life, critical illness and disability insurance, if applicable.

Before getting started:

- You will need your mortgage number (found on your contract or in your online bank).

- Once submitted, your application will be processed within 5 business days. If your application is accepted and a payment is due within the waiting period, the payment will go through as usual. The deferral will begin with the next payment.

We will contact you if your application is not eligible. If we do not contact you within 5 business days of submitting your request, it means that your application has been accepted and your payments will be deferred for the selected period.

If your mortgage payments are already late, if you hold an All-in- OneTM home equity line of credit, or if this solution does not respond to your needs, contact us at 1-888-286-8799.
