In the cation of the title compound C9H14ON+·C3H2O3N3−, the benzylamine C—N bond subtends a dihedral angle of 78.3 (2)° with the phenyl ring. The cyanurate anion is in the usual keto-form and shows an r.m.s. deviation from planarity of 0.010 Å. In the crystal, the cyanurate anions form N—HO hydrogen-bonded zigzag ribbons along [001]. These ribbons are crosslinked by the organocations via O—HN and N—HO hydrogen bonds, forming bilayers parallel to (010) which are held together along [010] by slipped π–π interactions between pairs of cyanurate anions [shortest contact distances CC = 3.479 (2), ON = 3.400 (2); centroid–centroid distance= 4.5946 (9) Å] and between cyanurate and phenyl rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.7924 (12) Å, ring–ring angle = 11.99 (10)°].
