What the AI does with
your RBC activity.
Connecting Royal Bank of Canada isn't the finish line — it's the input. Here is what SuperBooks does with each transaction, and the one step that stays yours.
Every RBC transaction syncs into SuperBooks through Plaid — read-only. We can see the money move; we can never move it.
Upload a receipt, then attach it to the RBC transaction it belongs to. It stays linked from then on.
Each RBC expense is sorted into a category you control, and the expenses-by-category report adds them up for your accountant.
Profit and loss, burn rate and runway are computed from your RBC feed each time you open them, so they are never a month behind.
RBC posts in CAD. SuperBooks is multi-currency — bill a US client in USD, keep your RBC expenses in CAD, and see your invoice totals in CAD at the day's published rate.
Every currency,
kept as it happened.
RBC posts in CAD. Bill a US client in USD or a European one in EUR: each account, transaction and invoice keeps the currency it happened in, and your invoice totals convert to CAD at the day's published rate.
One read-only link to set up.
Up to two years of history.
SuperBooks asks Plaid for up to 24 months of RBC transactions and categorizes each one it is confident about.
We can't move your money.
That's by design.
Plaid handles authentication. We hold a read-only OAuth token and nothing else — your RBC credentials never touch our servers.

Straight answers, each one true of SuperBooks as it ships today rather than as it is planned.
Does Royal Bank of Canada work with Plaid?
Yes. Plaid lists RBC as "RBC Royal Bank", institution ID ins_39. In the snapshot of Plaid's institution list SuperBooks took on July 12, 2026, it is one of 191 active Canadian institutions.
Can I connect Royal Bank of Canada to QuickBooks or other accounting software?
SuperBooks has no QuickBooks connection: it is bookkeeping software itself, and it connects to RBC through Plaid. To take those transactions into another tool, export them as a CSV: one file of the transactions you select, with a column naming the bank account each one came from.
Do I need a Royal Bank of Canada API or developer key?
No. SuperBooks reaches RBC through Plaid, read-only, and you connect with the RBC login you already use, so there are no developer credentials to request from the bank. Your own data is then readable over the SuperBooks REST API, its TypeScript and Python SDKs, and its MCP server — on every plan.
How do I link my Royal Bank of Canada business and personal accounts?
Sign in to RBC through Plaid with the login that holds those accounts; SuperBooks then lists every account Plaid returns for it, and you choose which ones sync. All of them count as one bank connection on your plan. SuperBooks keeps one login per Plaid institution for each company — for RBC, Plaid's "RBC Royal Bank" record — so connecting it again replaces that login instead of adding a second one. If your personal and business accounts sit under two separate logins there, only one of them can be connected at a time.
Does SuperBooks store my Royal Bank of Canada login?
No. You sign in through Plaid — in Plaid's own window, or on RBC's own site if RBC uses OAuth — so your password goes to Plaid or RBC, never to SuperBooks. The only credential SuperBooks holds is a read-only token for transactions and balances — it can never move money — and disconnecting RBC revokes it.
How much Royal Bank of Canada history comes across?
SuperBooks asks Plaid for up to 730 days — roughly two years — the first time you connect. How much of that actually arrives depends on what RBC makes available through Plaid.
Does SuperBooks categorize Royal Bank of Canada transactions automatically?
Yes, when it is confident. SuperBooks applies a category above a 0.7 confidence score; below that it writes nothing rather than guessing, so the RBC transaction stays uncategorized in your list until you set it.
Can I export my Royal Bank of Canada transactions?
Yes — your transactions export as a CSV on every plan and from every role, so you can hand RBC activity to an accountant or load it into another tool whenever you want.
What does connecting Royal Bank of Canada cost?
Nothing to start: the free plan includes 1 bank connection and takes no credit card. Starter raises that to 3 connections and Pro to 10.
