Standard payment terms

RBC’s policy is to settle the terms of payment with suppliers when negotiating and agreeing upon the terms of each arrangement. RBC ensures that suppliers are made aware of and abide by the terms of payment. Standard terms of payment are normally 30 days from receipt of the invoice. However, some supplier contract payment periods may vary depending on the nature of the arrangement (e.g. payment from 45 days from receipt of the invoice, payment period commencing from date of invoice, etc.).
