RBC Insurance Services

If I could give a negative star I would. A vicious cycle of dialing the various numbers, inputting your information then finally getting through to someone only for them to drop your call.

Zero customer service. Borderline fraudulent.

I did not receive fair treatment from the RBC disability claims department, and I was denied coverage when I was injured. I hope to get their attention to get what I deserved when I was injured. For more information about my experience, please view the petition I have linked below, and support my petition if you have had a similar experience or treatment from the RBC disability claims department.

It takes 2 1/2 hours of waiting for anyone to answer the phone. On my last phone call, I mentioned that Allianz's claim software doesn't work for Mac computers.

So the Allianz service person said she would send me forms that I can download for a Mac. The Mac could not download the files. In addition, the Allianz rep informed me that providing a WestJet form that states my flight has been cancelled was not enough info on which a claim has to be made. The agent said I must go back to WestJet and find out why the flight was cancelled.

That means - another 2 hour phone call to WestJet and then another phone call to Allianz.

The last step would be finishing my claim. But on Mac computer, I cannot compete the claim.

Nightmare of Customer Relations with Royal Bank of Canada.

An Instance of How Atrocious RBC‘s Customer Relations Really Is.

It was around 7pm central time when I decided to book my flight using the RBC travel tool. I entered the dates and made payment to book only a flight. Once the flight was purchased, an email was sent to me from RBC Travel. As always, I double checked the flight details to ensure the flight was booked correctly. I then noticed my flight days were off by exactly one month. The confirmation email was showing my dates as Feb 20-27, when it should be March 20-27. I IMMEDIATELY called the RBC Travel line, (at 7:07pm central time) and was placed on hold. This is where my horrendous nightmare began. While on hold for 20 minutes, I decided to be proactive and call the airline of which my ticket was registered too. I dialed the number of that airline from another phone line (while still on hold with RBC Travel), and reached the customer service representative of the actual airline within a matter of second. While still on hold with RBC, the airline rep suggested it would be best that I talk with RBC Travel to change the ticket, as I would experience a $250 fee to change. I hung up with the airline personnel and continued to hold with RBC. A full hour had passed by and still the RBC Customer Service representative had NOT answered my call. I was becoming more and more frustrated as the elapsed call time flashed on my phone. In order to try and ease my frustration I began looking on RBC's website for another number I could call since the customer care department was lagging in call wait times. At that point, I then noticed the times of which the RBC Travel customer service center. The hours of operation for the RBC Travel center are: 6am – 8pm central time. My time was now 8:20pm central time. I was now 20 minutes into the ‘close time' of RBC customer service call center. I looked down at my phone to show the total call time of 1hour 20 minutes. In absolute dissatisfaction, I hung up the call. The next morning I instantaneously called as soon as RBC Travel opened (6:15a central time) and waited on hold for approximately 10mins - surprisingly. The call was then taken by a 'Charlene'. I mentioned the situation to her and at that point, she then told me “I was now subject to the change fee because I didn’t call in right away to notify the change.” I then began to run through my events stated above, and this ‘RBC customer relations’ person had the audacity to tell me I should have continued to wait on hold when I originally called in the night before. I explained to her that I am not familiar with the mechanics of the RBC call systems and that knowledge is not a requirement to book an airline ticket through Royal Bank of Canada. Thus far, they have continued to tell me I am subject to the change fee of $250(USD).

This is worst instance of customer relations I have ever experienced- thanks to Royal Bank of Canada Travel. I am disappointed by the lack of customer care knowledge throughout the Royal Bank Team.
