RBC Express Account Summary: Real-Time Balance Dashboard
The RBC Express Account Summary is the landing view for every authenticated commercial user — a consolidated dashboard that surfaces real-time, intraday and prior-day balances across every chequing, savings, loan, credit line and FX account in the organisation. One view. Every currency. All entities. Refreshed every 15 minutes while Canadian markets are open.
Available and ledger balances render side-by-side on every account tile. Pending debits, uncleared cheques and holds break out beneath. The treasury team sees the same numbers the AP clerk sees — scoped by RBC Express permissions, delivered through the same Account Summary engine that posted $2.0 trillion in balance data last year.

Balance Types Inside the RBC Express Account Summary
Treasury controllers, AP teams and finance leads all see the same balance data — filtered by role. The RBC Express Account Summary separates real-time, intraday and prior-day values so each user can answer the right question at the right moment.
Real-Time Balance
Real-time balance reflects every posted debit and credit as Lynx, Interac and RBC internal settlement confirms. Wire debits appear the moment they clear. Incoming EFT credits show as soon as Payments Canada confirms receipt. The real-time lane on the RBC Express Account Summary is the authoritative number for cash-positioning decisions before a wire release.
Intraday Balance
Intraday balance refresh posts every 15 minutes between 6:00am and 7:00pm ET. Use intraday on the RBC Express Account Summary when you need a steady snapshot for cash forecasting or when real-time movement is too granular for reporting purposes. Intraday values feed MT942 export and the scheduled 10:00am ET treasury bulletin.
End-of-Day / Prior-Day
End-of-day balance locks at Canadian cut-off and becomes the prior-day ledger value delivered via MT940 and BAI2 Prior Day. This is the reconciliation figure your ERP posts against. The RBC Express Account Summary surfaces prior-day next to real-time so month-end close teams can verify in one pane without exporting first.

Multi-Account Consolidation in RBC Express
Organisations with 20, 200 or 2,000 accounts under one client hierarchy see every position rolled up or drilled down through the same RBC Express Account Summary engine.
Under a single Client Card, an RBC Express client can group accounts by entity, currency, business unit, region or custom tag. The user management layer controls who sees which grouping. A Canadian parent with subsidiaries in Alberta, Ontario and Quebec can show the consolidated rollup to corporate treasury while exposing only the relevant entity to each subsidiary controller — all inside the same authenticated RBC Express Account Summary view.
Foreign currency accounts translate to a reporting currency at the mid-market rate refreshed every 15 minutes. CAD, USD, EUR, GBP, MXN and 130+ other currencies all reconcile inside the same Account Summary pane. For clients with more complex FX overlay needs, RBC Express Foreign Exchange exposes rate-lock and forward contracts directly from the balance tile.

Reporting Dimensions Exposed by the Dashboard
Every tile on the RBC Express Account Summary is a filter. Click a currency to drill into that currency. Click an entity to see only that entity. Click a product type to isolate chequing, savings or loan positions.
Filters Built Into Account Summary
Currency, entity, product type, region, business unit, custom tag. Every filter composes. Apply three filters and save the view as a named layout — shareable with teammates within the same RBC Express permission scope. Saved layouts restore on next sign-in without re-filtering.
Drill-Through to Transactions
Click any balance tile and drill straight into transaction reporting with the filter pre-applied. The drill preserves the timeframe — real-time, intraday or prior-day — and the account scope. Export the filtered list directly from the drill without returning to the summary.
