TORONTO, Dec. 18, 2019 /CNW/ - RBC Direct Investing today announced that real-time streaming quotes on Canadian and U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are being provided to all clients at no charge, effective immediately.
"We've moved clients even closer to the trading floor, all from the convenience of their online account," says John Bai, President & CEO, RBC Direct Investing. "We've also kept it simple. Our real-time quotes are automatically integrated into the service we provide for all our clients. There are no minimum balance or trading activity requirements and there are no exchange agreements to sign."

We're ensuring today's self-directed investors have everything they want, right at their fingertips."
