Your Royal Bank Debit Card Transactions are continually monitored for purchases being made outside of your normal purchasing patterns, unusual timeframes and geographical locations. These transactions are also monitored for purchase patterns that are consistent with previously identified fraudulent activity trends. 

With all fraud, time is of the essence, which is why we offer a convenient and free Card Alert Notification Service. With this service, you will receive a text message in real-time asking you to confirm whether a suspicious transaction was authorized. Contact the bank to make sure we have your current cell phone connected to your card so we can communicate these notifications to you. 

What to expect
  • Text messages will arrive with the following:
    • A five-digit code (33748)
    • The name "Royal Bank"
    • The dollar amount of the transaction
    • The merchant's name
  • If you authorized the transaction, reply "yes". You will receive a confirmation text and can continue using your debit card.
  • If you did not authorize the transaction, reply "no". You will receive a confirmation text and an immediate call from a fraud specialist. Please answer this important call.
  • As with any form of electronic communication, do not reply to the text message with any personal or confidential card information.
  • If you would like to opt out of receiving these messages by text, you may reply "stop" to indicate this preference.
