RBC Royal Bank

The best Banksters in the world. You will never know the hand is in your pocket, and if you do feel it, it will be just a tickle. They actually hired a greeter that comes up to you on the line and asks you how your day is going, and then chats you up.

Been to many RBCs all over the city and I would definitely recommend this location. Everyone is very friendly and eager to help you with whatever needs you may have. I had the pleasure of working with someone for RSP and TFSA who was not overly familiar with RSP. Instead of telling me no, she actually called RBC support to help her through some areas she was unsure of while I was in the office. I thought that was fantastic!
The Good:
1. Staff. Very eager and friendly (without being annoying).
2. Location. Obviously being at Spadina/​King it’s a very convenient location.
The Bad:
1. Décor. The inside of the branch could use a bit of a makeover. It’s no as modern as most of the branches you see now.
2. Lines. If you go between 11−3pm to this location, be prepared to wait in long lines. They do not have a lot of wickets.
In short, I would most definitely recommend banking with RBC and if this is your closest branch, you will not have any issues with them.
That’s a review you can bank on.

This has become my default home branch even though I haven’t bothered to make it official.
Their staff are happy, inviting and always seem to welcome a little chatter which is nice for a change. I’ve come face to face with far too many sour faced bank tellers over the years and it usually makes me go straight to the machines because of it.
My one complaint about this place concerns the «art» on display. I’m not sure if they’re doing someone a favour or have a new initiative to showcase emerging local artists but most pieces look like first year art student works. They’re just distracting and can’t look anywhere without seeing a bunny sitting in front of a house or a badly silk screened girl on newsprint.
