RBC banking numbers: what you’ll need
To print cheques for a Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) account, you typically need three numbers:
- Transit number: the 5-digit branch number.
- Institution number: 003 for Royal Bank of Canada (RBC).
- Account number: your account identifier (length varies).
Where to find them:
- On the bottom of an RBC cheque (MICR line).
- On an RBC void cheque / direct deposit form.
- Inside online banking where your “direct deposit” details are displayed.

RBC cheque products
Three formats, one goal: cheques that clear reliably and arrive fast. Pick the option that matches your workflow.
Why order RBC cheques from an independent Canadian printer?
Most people default to ordering from the bank because it feels safer. The reality is simpler: cheques clear based on correct banking details and clearing specifications — not where you bought them.

- Proof-first accuracy: your RBC transit/institution/account details are reviewed before anything prints.
- Built for how you pay: choose laser (software), manual (handwritten), or personal (individual accounts).
- Faster reorders: once your layout is set, Express Reorder keeps things moving.

RBC cheques — FAQs
Will RBC accept cheques that I didn’t buy from the bank?

What is RBC’s institution number on the MICR line?
RBC’s 3-digit institution number is 003. Your transit (branch) number is 5 digits, and your account number follows on the MICR line.
