Update your notification preferences

You can update your notification preferences on the Manage Notifications page, found under the My Portfolio menu.

On this page, you can:

  • Update your email address

    You can choose to receive email notifications to your preferred email address. Simply enter the email address in the box under “Email Address.”

    The email address that you provide is where all of your notifications will be sent — the ones you may already be receiving, and those you select from this page, such as trading and portfolio activity alerts, Community updates, stock and market updates and IPO alerts.

  • Choose your notification preferences
    Here you can choose the types of notifications you would like to receive. If you choose not to receive any notifications, you will still receive important information regarding the ongoing operation and maintenance of your Direct Investing account.

Note: Grow your investing knowledge notifications are coming soon.

Remember to click “Save Preferences” once you are done.

Mobile notifications – coming soon!
If you have downloaded the RBC® Mobile1 app you may already be receiving mobile push notifications from RBC on your device. With the next release of the RBC Mobile app, you will also receive notifications about your RBC Direct Investing (RBC DI) account. You will be able to view the mobile notifications from RBC DI on a new Notifications page, which you can access from your Home page.

A new look for your Home page

When you log in and visit your Home page, you’ll see a new look that summarizes everything you need to see when you log in to your RBC Direct Investing account, including:

  • New! Important Notices
    If there are any account notices that require your attention, you will see them at the top of your Home page.
  • New location to access the Secure Message Centre
    You can now access your Secure Message Centre from the Home page through “Messages” on the top right of your Home page.
  • Redesigned Quote box
    The “Quote box” has a new design and is now located on the top right corner of the page.

As always, your Home page shows your Portfolio, RBC Rewards® and Practice Account information.
