About RBC Royal Bank statement layouts
Typical layout: Date · Description · Withdrawals · Deposits · Balance. Separate money-out and money-in columns with a running balance on every row. Rowledger verifies each row against the printed balance, so a misread amount is flagged immediately.
- Columns are Date, Description, Withdrawals ($), Deposits ($) and Balance ($); the balance is printed only on the last transaction of each day.
- The statement period reads "From January 1, 2026 to January 31, 2026", which Rowledger uses to add the year to "05 Jan" style dates.
- The opening and closing balance lines are used for reconciliation.
- Dates on RBC Royal Bank statements are read as month/day (MM/DD); Rowledger confirms the order from the dates themselves and defaults the export to the matching format.
- Currency: CAD. Amount columns are exported as plain numbers; the currency is recorded in the Summary sheet and OFX header.
Common products: RBC Day to Day Banking, RBC Advantage Banking, RBC Business Essentials.

Questions about RBC Royal Bank statements
Is my RBC Royal Bank statement uploaded?
No. RBC Royal Bank statements are converted by code running in your browser. Nothing is sent to Rowledger or any third party, and the conversion works with the internet disconnected.
What format should I export for QuickBooks or Xero?
For QuickBooks Online use the 3-column CSV preset or QBO; for QuickBooks Desktop use QBO; for Xero use OFX or the Xero CSV preset; for Wave use OFX. All are produced from the same conversion.
Does it handle RBC Royal Bank credit card statements too?
Yes. Card statements are detected from the summary block and use the card sign convention (charges out, payments in), verified against previous and new balance.
What if my RBC Royal Bank statement is a scan?
Drop it anyway. Rowledger runs OCR in your browser, then applies the same balance verification so OCR slips are flagged on the row. Free covers the first two pages per scan; Pro is unlimited.
