The only reason I gave them one star was because I can't go any lower. First of all their customer service 800-number stinks. They’re inconsiderate. Rude. They have no compassion. They don't know what they're doing. They transfer you from person to person. They make you wait on the phone for over an hr. What I needed done they said they could do it but they kept putting me from person to person. I think they do that intentionally so you give up. I used to be able to do the same service that I needed done at the branch by calling them but it depends on who you talk to. Some people will help you. In some way they can't which just makes me realize that they're just lazy and they don't want to do anything . When they say to be with you in one minute be prepared to wait an hour or more so have your drinks ready. Use the bathroom. Make sure you're ready to sit down for over an hour just to be told they can't help you.

I check my account everyday because this bank is very crooked. When I logged in yesterday morning I had OD fees of $140.00. I knew that was inaccurate so I called the bank. I was aware that I had one OD and the representative agreed with me and credited me back $105.00. She apologized and said she could not understand why it happened. She said that there might be one more OD fee because of a pending item and that she would notate the account to credit me back if that was the case.
The fact that they had charged me the $140.00 in OD fees incorrectly caused me to be OD when that transaction was posted. I called back today and of course spoke to someone else. He refused to credit me back because they post in real-time and the charge would have to say. This bank processes a way that causes your account to OD all the time. They put charges through and then they post credits. I will be opening an account elsewhere. I really hope someone creates a class action suit against them. Set of thiefs.

Unfortunately I have been a customer for about 15 months. During this time period I have had to contact their customer service department on numerous occasions to address late fees that should not have been added to my monthly bill. The idea that they added an additional, higher late fee based on an erroneous charge is asinine. Again, unfortunately if I do not want them to report their mistake to the credit bureaus, as they have threatened, I will have to make the payment and dispute the error. This company has been a nightmare for me from day one. In my opinion they deserve 0 stars.

I received a Canadian check from my parents. Rather than deposit in my bank (BOA), I decided to open a TD account as I was told the processing fee was less. They gladly took my check for $8600 and the assistant manager told me my funds would be available "in 5-10 business days." Had I deposited with BOA, I would have had access to MY Money the next day. After miserable long conversations over the phone, I was informed, "It will be 30 days." On the next call, I was told, "It could be up to 60 DAYS." "It has to CLEAR COLLECTIONS, IT HAS TO CLEAR FRAUD."
I am a professional working for the federal government. I told them to hang up, call my facility, then ask my secretary to put the call through. Of course they did not. Then, I gave them the phone number for my dear parents. Of course they didn't call them either. This bank should be sued. I wonder if and when I will ever get MY MONEY! I've been receiving money from Canada since graduate school 28 years ago and NEVER, EVER HAVE I RECEIVED SUCH A HARD TIME. I even asked to return my check to me. Of course they can't because they cashed it. Where oh where is my money?!?

Customer service, computer system and hours are good. But I too have been a victim to TD Bank's RE-ORDERING of the debits for the purpose of gaining more overdraft fees. They are CROOKS because they intentionally re-order the debits to increase the overdraft fees while giving you a BS story that they are trying to help you pay the larger bills. They are filthy immoral people. BUT I have good news for everyone. Cryptocurrencies like BITCOIN are being legalized all around the world and being accepted as legal currency. They are installing thousands of Bitcoin ATMs and issuing Bitcoin debit cards. Crooked banks like TD Bank will soon be a memory of the past. MESSAGE TO TD BANK...YOU WILL SOON NOT MATTER. THANKS TO CRYPTOCURRENCIES. As I warned blockbuster in a phone call, if you don't conform, you will be no more.

Their customer service are really bad with help. They will show you a balance on your account and you will still have the money available and they will just charge you overdraft fee for no reason saying you have overdrafted. I am not really satisfied with their bank service. Please think twice before getting this bank. It's really bad.

Customer service as well as branch service is non existent. Too many complaints and stories to list. It is obvious that their business model is not to pay the employees hence the complete lack of competent customer service. While my experiences have been pleasant it seems that the employees lack basic skills hence the poor performance. I have been standing in front of branch employees of some tenure and they lack a basic understanding of the way banks work. Closed all my accounts.

My 14 year old went into TD Bank where he has 2 accounts. He had only change and needed dollar bills ($5). He was told he needs to go buy/get coin holders in order to deposit the money into his account! They are the furthest thing from banking human and awful to children. My next child went to a different bank already!

When trying to use the Send money feature, we had endless troubles. The information related to Send money seems to be separate from the account in general and any attempt to correct it leads to fraud alerts. Even after reassured that we would have no more problems and following instructions exactly, the account was put on hold yet again. DON'T USE THIS BANK. Although the representatives are pleasant, there is some horrible mismanagement going on and what you are told on one call will be directly contradicted on the next.

The bank is stealing money from people left and right... I made a deposit for more than $4000 dollar to cover a check of $2880. The bank delayed my deposits availability and cleared the check to run the account negative, then fees start hitting my account (5 fees), do you believe gas charge for $20 cost me $35 fees. Shame on you. Stay away from this bank. I will definitely closing my personal and kids saving account. Go to Hell... TD.

Do not believe their ads. They do not bank human. I experienced how they can care less about the working class people. I deposited my employer checks and they froze my account. The checks were local bank checks within the same city. I couldn't pay my rent, buy groceries, get gas to work. I am a single person that doesn't have anyone that can help me out. I tried calling branches, managers, customer service and nobody could do anything to expedite the funds. I have to wait 6-10 days for a local employer check to clear. I'm not sure how I will make it. Just waiting so I can take out my money and close the account. Do not bank here. They hold your money, treat you like a number. I was a previous Chase customer and never had those problems, everything cleared fast but the reason I switched to TD was due to lower monthly fee. Which my account is in negative status due to the freeze.

I went looking for a new bank when Key Bank started really dropping the ball on my accounts and found TD. I use TD Ameritrade trading platform and never had any issues so I gave TD Bank a try. It is like night and day from the great customer service to the deposit availability. I was in a jam and their discretionary overdraft protection covered a transaction $500 over my balance! I put the cash in the next morning. The important takeaway is that they are customer focused and not fee/profit pirates raiding your accounts.

At the start of 2017 and the end of 2016, $1500 was stolen from my account. The customer service representative to spoke skeptically swore that it was impossible that anyone other than myself took the money, because it was withdrawn using a chip. Come present day, news reports claim that the chip is doing more harm than good. However, my money is still nowhere to be seen. Additionally, as of recent, 400 dollars in overdraft fees has been charged to my account, although, I never authorized charges to this bank.

We have a joint account with my wife at TD Bank. Her card was duplicated over a week ago and someone withdrew money somewhere in Manhattan from her our account. The bank blocked the card after the 2nd and 3rd try. However we were still not aware of it because TD Bank has never advised us on that!! Why you don't advise your customer of a serious incidence??? So this fraudulent activity occurred and we realised that days after while checking our account statement by chance. If we haven't realised that issue how we are supposed to take measure and also get back our money?
Later on we called TD Bank and they asked us to get a police report. Same thing had happened me appx 10 years ago with another bank and I was never asked a police report. Because since bank was the aware of the issue they had figured out all this process themselves with the police. However TD Bank asked for it but that's okay. We walked in a police station and managed it with an inspector. However now TD bank is asking us to get the hard copy of the police report and fax it or take it to an branch... According to police this will take roughly 2 weeks. I checked with some friends and colleagues who had the same issue and none of them went through this process. Actually even polices itself was surprised saying "why bank can't manage it with the police report number"... TD Banks is not a good customer service while the other banks are handling the issue themselves and not making their customers lose a lot time.
Also just checked today with TD Bank if there is a way to set a limit for withdrawing money or getting a kind of approval text message to avoid those kind of fraudulent issues but nothing!! There is no way to stop someone to withdraw money from my bank account if it is duplicated or so... How am I supposed to. My personal experience with TD bank was good so far with 7 days open branch next to my place however this incidence changed my idea. They basically failed and absolutely security measures are not enough.

I have two rental units in Windsor. Upper Unit tenant moved out April 1, 17. Lower Unit tenant Jason moved to Upper Unit April 1, 17. New tenant David moved in Lower Unit April 1, 17. Jason who used to rent lower unit has set up pre-authorized direct deposit for $625/month for past 2 years. On Feb. 6, 17, Jason brought me a new pre-authorized direct deposit form with his signature, new rent amount of $875/month and starting date of April 1, 17 on it. He also paid $250 in cash for new last month rent of $875 (He paid $625 in cash as last month rent two years ago when he moved in lower unit). On same day (Feb. 6, 17), new lower unit tenant David brought me his pre-authorized direct deposit form with his signature, rent amount of $650/month and starting date of May 1, 17 on it. He paid $1300 in cash at same time for his first and last month rent (first month is April 1,17).
On the same day (Feb. 6, 17), I brought 2 forms and $1550 in cash to TD bank and processed the direct deposit set up and deposit the cash. On April 1, 17, I checked on TD bank website and found out there is a $625 direct deposit NOT $875. So I went to TD bank the other branch the same day and talked to a front desk lady. She went online changed the amount from $625 to $875 for me effective May 1, 17. She suggested me to go knock on door and ask my tenant to give me $250 balance.
On April 1, 17 the same day, I went to the branch where I originally processed the forms with. I talked to the front desk gentleman about this hoping they can solve this for me. He asked me for copy of the record. I lost all the papers. So I asked if I can get the copy of the record from bank. He said yes. After he talked to the manager about this. The manager came out and told me there is no record in the bank. I was surprised that a bank can easily lose the record. I now have trust issue with TD bank.
On April 2, 17 I called TD bank customer service hoping they would help me out. They told me they will send this issue to their head office and s.b. will call me in a couple of days. Today is April 5, 17. I received a call from TD Bank head office. A lady did speak with me. She asked me if I have record. I said I lost them. She said TD bank cannot have record if I don't have them. She also ask me to bring the record to TD bank if I have them. Otherwise, she will cancel all the pre-authorized payment. Same time, she said my behavior in one of the branches on April 1, 17 was not acceptable. What a unfair harassment!

I have a complicated issue but it will be kept short.The way they supposedly help you with checking and debit card problems is not even worth it. Especially if someone used your card and banking information to hack your account. I was in this problem with them. I signed an affidavit with them because it was the first step to dealing with the fraud. I also had them file over the police report. What they also failed to do was tell me that I would have to pay the fees and the interest adding up even when you pay what you owe. They also do not know how to investigate bank fraud. They also seem to be on the side of those who commit the fraud against your account.
When they were Commerce Bank they would alert you of anything that compromised your account. They would temporarily close it and work with you to pay it off. Since they became TD they have changed their way of dealing with customers. Especially in the fraud section. They are aware that in this time in which we live the vicious things that are being done to obtain information and damage peoples accounts but they do not care at all. They are only worried about their shareholders. They possibly may even be in cahoots with those who commit fraud and not say anything to them.
In my case I did make my effort and I did pay them off but it was not enough. They closed the new account they opened for me. The person who spoke to me was harsh and hateful to me. I want to sue and make this be known to them because I am not going to go away and I will fight to save my name. Because you don't know what TD can do if they hate you for making an unwise mistake.

I keep getting harassing calls for months. I had switched my number to a new one. I wanted a different area code. I had their client Alberto old number. I have told them this 50+ times. I am not him. This is my number. They do not care and have stressed me, woken me, I work 12 hour days. I do not understand why companies can harass people who are not their customer! This bank is the worst bank ever. They do not care about people and do what they want to do and have no regulations or rules for their employees to follow, unless they say keep calling even if that person is not them. No one changes phone numbers in their stupid world. I paid to change my number not them!
The CEO needs to get a clue and do something about this! You have only calling centers for your HQ in NJ, what? I cannot get my issues resolved since November 2016. I am not Alberto. TD Bank needs to close its doors and let real businesses take of people. You guys are incapable of deleting a phone number from your computer! A 3 year old could. I am sick of their harassment! I am going to fight back and sue them! You have the worst customer satisfaction ever.

This truly has been a terrible experience. I had my accounts frozen and all my items bounced like insurance car payment and rent. I have been in the branch consistently for three weeks and I mean almost all the banks in Cambridge of TD. I have spoken with every branch manager and many many managers at all the branches. Still after being assured no more problems occur they continue daily. I've called front department daily as well cause the branch can't deal with anything. It has come to the point where the front people have told me not to call cause it's the branch they need to speak with. But yet still cannot use my account.
I spoke with branch manager and she assured me they would credit me for all the bounced payments and did not want me to close account. This was a week and a half ago. And still can't even use debit. I have spent 500 plus on cabs and I wait at the branch for hrs at a time on the phone... Just ridiculous. This is my main account where my payroll goes in and other forms of my pay and they treat me like a criminal. This is truly the worst bank. I have RBC and CIBC and they are amazing. Bank with anyone other than them.

I am the very loyal customer of TD from last 17 years. Although I always appreciate their service as most of their branches provided excellent customer service. Last week I badly need money as I am jobless nowadays, so withdraw some money from my RRSP private account and company provided a cheque. I go to Matheson Blvd Mississauga (1275) branch to deposit. The teller ** said that I need to discuss with my Manager as this cheque is coming from other Bank and he needs some advice from his Manager. He came back that it will take 5 business days when I am able to use this money, I explain to him that I need this money immediately and, "I am quite a customer. Can you please make it possible."
He called his Manager ** and explain him about my request. But Mr. ** is very blunt and he mentions that he cannot help. I will get access to money after 5 days. Although today 3 days already gone and I still not able to withdraw my own money. My bills that need to pay to get delayed and I get some penalty as well due to delay payment. I am really surprised how these banking system treating the working class although they are running on our deposits and the interest we are paying. I really want they should bring some humility in their services instead of just 2+2=4.

For a small business, this bank is horrific and has degraded through the years. The online banking is NEVER accurate so there's no way to keep track of your finances. I was actually instructed by customer service to use my checkbook but I write one check a month, all the rest is online banking!!! They also hold large checks for longer than one day and play with the $100 advance from checks at their will, both of which caused me to go into overdraft and get hit with $175 in fees, even though a $25K check is in their bank and I've been told yesterday and today it will clear tomorrow so we shall see. Going into a branch is worse, two of three people have no idea how to do things you need done so you have to go back or endure wasting your time, which leads me to number 3. Their on hold time on the phone has tripled, it's never 5 or 10 minutes but always 20 to 30 (or longer). I'm looking for a new bank.

Now, I'm all for testing the waters and hanging on when things are bad. But, I've had it quite up to here with TD Bank. I had $180 in my checking not accounting for my savings which has some parts to this whole thing I'm about to go into. I made transactions that totaling to $73.45. With pending transactions you must wait until they pend.
Now I got paid as well and transferred $100 to my savings which gives me a balance of now $146.55 accounting for the deposit. I then had to buy an Uber from the airport which was $20.22 adding onto the pending of $93.67. Now I'm not mathematician but deducting that from $146.55 would not cause me to go into an overdraft of nothing. I didn't use my card since I came back from the vacation I was on... then what do you know I had -$17.46 in my account. HOW?! I speak to a representative and he's trying to explain how pending transactions work like I'm stupid when I write down everything.
So I then transfer money from my savings to my checking. By now the pending transactions cleared on my account. Left with $3 and like clockwork another overdraft fee and THE SAME transactions came up when they were just cleared. Idk what TD is doing but they owe me money. Absolutely horrible customer service. I am clearing this up in person and I am closing the account soon.

This is a terrible bank. I will not recommended to anyone. They scammed my money and left me with a collection balanced. I opened a checking account online with TD Bank with $100. After a few weeks, I found out that they started charging me for all these weird fees that I didn't sign up for. First, they charged me a "Paper Statement" fee, then a monthly maintenance fee. When I checked my account balance online, I was only left with $24!! **!! I contacted the customer service to close my account, but they refused by telling me that my balance needs to be $0 in order for them to close my account. I was out of the country with limited internet access at the time, so I decided I will resolve the issue when I'm back in the United States. So when I returned home after 3 months out of the country, I found all these collections letter from TD Bank saying that I owe a $21 balance... a double **!!
I called the customer service again asking what's going on, they transferred me to all these different departments because no one knew how to resolve this issue. So finally someone from the Collections Department told me that I had to go to a branch to close my account. When I arrive to the branch, the first thing that they asked if I want to pay my $21 balance. I explained to them that I don't owe them anything and have asked many times to close my account. The woman at the bank refused to issue me a refund and telling me the reason they can't close my account until it's $0 balance because it's good customer service for them to present the closed account check to their customer IN PERSON!!

TD BANK on 94th Broadway, NY, NYC is the worst of them all. So unprofessional. I went to cash a check with a lady named ** who attended to me and it ended up being a living nightmare. She decided to go to her desk, have me stand there, and wait for 30 minutes near the teller area. I didn't even know why I was waiting so long. Comes to find out is she wanted to review the TD Bank check. She ended up calling the person who gave me the check five times which is unreal. I never seen anything like it and since the person didn't pick up the phone she contacted Fraud services and then froze the person's account. Only because the person didn't pick up the phone so I finally went to her desk to see what the problem was and she told me that I cannot contact the person who gave me the check myself, she has to contact the person... who is she to tell me what to do??
That's when I said "what in the world is going on? Am I being racially profiled?" She made me feel like a criminal and I plan to report this to the general manager and to everyone that I know about this horrible experience I received from TD Bank. The person ended up calling the bank to speak to her to find out what her problem was? She said nothing and send him to call customer service after she froze the account, and send him to call fraud services. Once I left the bank I made a 3-way call with the bank and the person who gave me the check and the person from the bank agreed that she handled this very wrong. All she had to do was cash the signed check. I plan to continue to speak with managers to report her. There was need to do this. I ended up cashing the check at Chase Bank which handled it very professionally with a smile and I plan to close my TD Bank account 1st thing.
Never in my life have I gone through such difficult time to cash a simple check. Beware of this bank and beware of **. She likes to make customers lives difficult for no reason. Maybe she was bored. She didn't even smile. It was like she was so miserable working there at TD Bank. She did all that for nothing. Chase Bank wins as usual...

TD Bank not business-friendly. Today, my online account was frozen for the second time in a month. I called the 800# which was answered in a couple of minutes only to be told they had to transfer me to the 'business' department. That phone rings and is answered by a voice mail telling me the wait is at least 35 minutes. WTF??? The first time this happened, it was a 20 minute wait. TD Bank does not value their business customers. Business owners do not have the luxury of waiting over a half hour for a phone call to be answered. And TD Bank doesn't give you an option to leave your phone number to have someone call you back. Looks like I will be opening another checking account at Chase. They have their priorities in the right place.

I was with TD Bank going on Seven years until February 7, 2017. Since I was with them my checking account was hacked three times and neither times did TD Bank inform me. When I first opened my account on two separate occasions they took $35 for no reason only to say "we're sorry we will refund your account back". That was my sign to close the account then but I gave them another chance only to have their Fraud department fail me three times and not inform me of transactions that they canceled but still didn't notify me of.
But this last time a charge from Texas went through my account and I'm in Florida but since they're "back in department" as one of the store manager's puts it I have to wait until the investigation is completed which takes 10 business. So whatever bills or rent I had to pay with my money who cares. I have to wait the whole 10 business. What's the point of having a Fraud department if they do not notify the customers of fraudulent transactions happening to our accounts. Good thing I am the type of customer who check my accounts often because if I left it up to the bank to tell me I would be fighting in court for charges that are not mine. I'm so over TD Bank. I can't wait for them to credited my account back so I can closed this account once and for all.

I have been a TD customer for 24 years. I don't like the fees either, but they are stellar when it comes to fraud. Someone somehow wrote a check on my account with no addressee and it went through. TD removed the check within 5 minutes. Another payment bounced because of this and they removed the fee. Ten years ago someone was to wire $7,000 from a university in England. After 3 weeks of waiting I canceled the arrangement. Two weeks later TD called to say that someone was trying to get $7,000 out of my account and I didn't lose a nickel.

TD Bank is truly a great bank. I have a student checking and savings and they are great and best of all the customer service is excellent and if that's not good enough they have someone there 24/7...an actual human if something goes wrong with your account. Thanks TD for providing excellent banking during hours and after hours. 24/7. It truly is America's Most Convenient Bank. 5 star for sure! I would recommend it!

I deposited a cheque from Ivari (TransAmerica). The cheque was for a withdrawal under Financial Hardship. Was informed they put a hold on funds for a week 5 business days not including day of deposit. I have been with TD in Keswick, Newmarket 20+ years, paid off mortgage, never bounced a cheque. Last year got full access to funds immediately when I deposited to BMO. Keep a small amount of funds there. Subsequently my cable has been disconnected. That takes up to 1 week for reconnection plus $500.00 deposit delays dental work I am desperately need. Could go on & on. Very disappointed. Was always an advocate for TD. ONCE CHEQUE CLEARS I WILL BE CLOSING THIS ACCOUNT.

I opened a checking account with TD Bank and had my job set direct deposit. My job takes about 2 weeks to set up direct deposit so I received a paper paycheck. The check was deposited by mobile banking on 1/5/17 and it's a government check as I work for the government. I checked repeatedly for when the check would clear and saw it was on hold. I called the bank and was told it's routine for checks to be held up to 10 business days for new account holders. Yesterday 1/12/17 it was still on hold and I received a letter from TD Bank dated 1/6/17. The letter states that my check will be held up to 6 business days because they have confidential information the check will not be paid.
What a discrepancy in information as the check is a local State check, my biweekly pay check. One minute it's routine and next it's due to confidential information from the TD bank US Fraud Ops. Either way I am closing my account as soon as I can. My job has put money in the account to test the direct deposit so I will get paid on 1/19/17. The paper check will be released tonight 1/13/17 and available 1/17/17 because 1/16/17 is a holiday. I have never experienced sure poor banking and I thought it would have been a good choice because I used to have my car loan with them. Terrible experience. Will never use again.

First, I do want to say the customer service rep and supervisor were polite. I called TD Bank because a few years ago when I began my credit card account I made some purchases and also transferred a balance from a different credit card. I have not used this card in a long, long time and have consistently paid in more than the minimum for a long, long time. I am being charged SEPARATE interest rate amounts for the purchases and transfer balance, to the tune of over $80 in interest per month. In a nutshell my balance reduces very little each month. They would not reduce my interest rate and didn't seem to mind at all when I suggested I would cancel the card. There should be something that the government or a governing agency could control as far as ripping off the public with such ridiculous interest rates!!

When my (now husband) and I decided to get married, we figured having a completely separate account from the ones we bank with daily would be perfect for saving up for our wedding. Out of sight, out of mind sort of thing. We opened an account with no hassles (although opening an account here literally took almost 3 hours of our time, which I thought was odd but in any case)... So over the course of our engagement, we didn't use TD for anything but writing checks and making deposits to the account.
We didn't use our cards nor pay any bills through the bank. After the wedding, we started merging everything into one bank and figured since we already had this as our joint account, to use it for everything. As soon as we used it for more than just saving money is when all the problems we have had started happening. For starters, NOBODY explained to us that they would take a monthly "fee" of $25 and transfer it to the savings we have connected to the checking. Ok fine.
What they don't tell you is they charge you to then transfer the money BACK should you need it. I don't know if it's just our account, or if this is a thing across the boards. You are only allowed a certain amount of transfers as well, which is terrible because my old bank allowed unlimited transfers. That was the first problem. Second problem is they take out money DAYS after things have been pending. It literally takes our grocery shopping trips almost 4 days to clear.
When I called the bank and asked they stated it was because they submit everything at the END of the business day. So the establishment doesn't get the request to take out the money until the FOLLOWING day. They told me to avoid this to use our pin. Ok, well we did and it STILL took almost 3 days for the charge to clear. My old bank (why did I switch again?) would literally show the money taken out the same day and you would know your balance right away.
Third problem. I set up to have overdraft protection just in case for some odd reason it ever happens. Well, it happened. (Same time we found out about how it takes days for things to clear and your "available balance" may not always be your real balance.) Anyways, we went over our account by about $20. No big deal, it happens. Well, even though you enroll in overdraft protection and they take the money from your savings, they charge you $10 to do this!!! So that $20 just turned into $30. Not a big deal, but those little fees could really add up. When I called and inquired about this as well it was sort of a "too bad" kind of situation. Unbelievable. If I go over by $20, take the $20 and leave it at that.
Fourth problem (does it ever end?). I didn't realize the $100 minimum balance until we started using the bank for everyday things. Sure, we don't deplete our account to $1, but if I have money and I need it, I'm going to spend it or pay for things. If you go under $100 in one statement cycle they charge you $15! So essentially, you are being charged for a bank to hold YOUR money. So if you look at it from a consumers point of view, there is $100 that you can never really spend unless you only want to have $85 of that because they take their fee. I, for one, am not going to allow a bank to charge me to hold my money. Sorry, next.
Today was the last straw for me. I used TD's Bill Pay (what a joke). At my old bank, when you would pay a bill they would immediately take the money out. No wait time, no waiting for the check to clear nothing. TD does not offer that. You need to wait until the check is cleared before money is taken out which can be quite annoying. I sent out a bill to be delivered on 12/29. It is now 1/6 and the company still hasn't received payment. I called TD and asked to stop the payment. Instead of being handled through my local bank, I needed to call a different number. Ok, because I have all the time in the world to do this.
Anyways. I called the customer service number they gave me. I told the lady I needed to stop payment on this check because it says it was delivered yet nobody has received it yet. (Now, I have NEVER had a problem in the 4 years I've been paying this particular bill ever with my old bank. They would send it out, it was received next day, perfect. Ever since I switched this bill to TD it's been received days after it was supposed to be and takes WEEKS to clear from the account which can be annoying waiting.)
The lady then informs me to stop payment it will cost me $30!! $30 to literally cancel a check. This was the last straw for me. As soon as I am out of work, my husband and I will be going down to TD, taking the rest of our money out and canceling both of our accounts with them and alerting anybody that wants to us TD to think otherwise. We figured it would be easy having an already joint account to just pull everything together, but it's actually cost us money over the course of the 3 months after our wedding we have been using it.
I will be going back to my original bank with my husband with FREE bill pay, FREE transfers, FREE accounts and NO minimum balance. TD is an absolute joke, and their slogan "America's most convenient bank" is literally laughable. The only thing good about this bank is the hours, and you couldn't pay me enough to keep banking with them if you tried.

A check came in for 750 and TD waited 3 days to clear the deposits, reversed all the smaller transactions to then charge all the overdraft fees. When calling they were unhelpful and could not remove any of the fees. We are new to TD Bank and are disgusted with their lack of consideration towards their clients.

Nearly 2 years ago TD Canada Trust Wasaga Beach branch froze my account and accused myself of being criminally responsible for committing Fraudulent activity on my account with absolutely no proof or evidence. Simply I did not do it. 2 years on and there have been no Fraud charges by any Police Dept telling me that no fraud was committed. When I challenged TD Canada Trust about this occurring I was stonewalled and lied to on every front, from the TD Branch manager Jennifer **. Even after I had conclusive proof that no fraudulent activity occurred on my account TD Canada Trust, the bank employees perpetuated this lie. So to clear my good name I engaged in an informational picket of my TD Canada trust bank branch.
Well here is where my story gets truly bizarre. TD Canada Trust Bank manager Jennifer ** and her employees at the Wasaga Beach conspired to LIE to the Ontario Provincial Police about my actions to have me wrongfully charged. I was charged and then the attending OPP officer continued his thorough investigation and found that the Manager and staff LIED to him about the events. This dedicated Officer stated in his notes that the staff lied and forwarded his notes to the courts for disclosure evidence. In the courtroom the crown attorney requested that the manager Jennifer ** and her staff appear to call evidence that the staff gave in their statements to police. The entire staff and manager refused to give evidence for fear of perjury charges and all charges were withdrawn with a rebuke from the judge about the staff of TD Canada Trust not showing up for court.
Well it gets even crazier. This Manager and staff have called the police no less than 10 times on me and I have been investigated by 19 Detectives and Constables with absolutely no crime ever being committed. These are facts that were discovered through Freedom Of Information Requests that I have filed with the Ontario Privacy Commissioner. I have documented all the proof and documentation on a website for the public to review if they wish. The TD Canada Trust Manager Jennifer ** has been using the OPP like they were TD Canada Trust private security firm with no basis of fact. Lucky for me I live in a small town and the local police know my character. TD Canada Trust President and CEO Bharat Masrani got involved after just one email complaint from myself. Go figure one complaint and the President and CEO replies, that never happens.
Well Bharat Masrani had nothing but more lies to offer. I was given a worldwide trespass order for all TD Canada Trust properties. And then all the police calls. I can only conclude that orders come from the top down. So I guess to summarize these events TD Canada Trust is running a Fake Fraud scheme to purge their system of less profitable accounts at any cost with no regard for the personal lives of TD Canada Trust customers. I have not been charged with any crime, with the exception of the one withdrawn because of the Lying TD Canada Trust Staff.
At this point it appears that litigation may be my only option to correct these wrongs created by TD Canada Trust Bank Group, from the President and CEO to the Manager and branch Staff. If this can happen to me, it could happen to anyone. Be careful when dealing with the TD Canada Trust Bank group. Trust no one.

Late last summer I was a victim of a loan scam. Yes I should have known better and I admit that. The perpetrators claimed that they were from a loan company and they could deposit a loan of $8000.00 into my account within a few days but given the circumstances of my credit history, they would only be able to transfer about half into my account and I had to send it to 3 different via MoneyGram to get the whole amount of $8000.00 into my account so I reluctantly did that. I sent 2 deposits of around $1400.00 to 2 different people via MoneyGram and the third was cashed out by the bank teller and I sent that to a third person. What I didn't realize was that the money was submitted by the perpetrators via mobile transfer. There were a total of 12 checks sent into my account with my name obviously forged on every one.
I followed all procedures by talking to the Branch office supervisors, filing a police report and talking to the so-called Fraud Investigator. From the beginning and before he even talked to me, the Fraud Investigator made up his mind and said I was responsible to pay back the entire amount and stood his ground. The bank representatives at first were sympathetic towards me but after talking to the Fraud Investigator, they stood by him as if they were afraid of him. The detective even tried to defend me by trying to find out who it was that put the money into my account but the bank representatives claimed they had their rules.
In my opinion, fraud is fraud no matter what the circumstances not case by case. This was blatant bias on TD Bank's part. I feel that TD Bank didn't treat as fairly as other banks would have. They made a quick decision, and no effort at all to try to protect me after I have been so loyal to them for years. Right or wrong, I think I deserve better treatment and I am disappointed with their attitude because they don't want to admit any wrongdoing. They have offered me a settlement to pay 80% but that isn't what I was looking for from them. If and when I pay the balance off, I won't use them again. Isn't the customer always right? They are wherever I have worked.

My husband and I applied for a home equity loan with TD Bank. We had many communications with their loan specialist including numerous emails which included our loan number and said loan in the title of the email. We were approved for a $39,319 loan at 4.5% fixed interest rate. Sounds great, right? Well imagine our surprise when we went to our closing and the paperwork was drawn up for a LINE OF CREDIT with a VARIABLE interest rate that can go as high as 18%. We showed them the multiple emails we had received from them stating that what we applied for and were approved for was a loan, however they would not honor this and told us if we want a loan, we have to start from scratch all over again with our application. They didn't even apologize or even offer to forward our application paperwork along to the correct department.
After speaking with 3-4 different people someone finally told us that we could take all of the money out from our line of credit and then lock in the interest rate at a fixed rate, which would be prime + 1%. During this time, it became apparent that the branch manager and employees we were dealing with did not know what prime interest rate is, and we had to look it up on our phones and show them. Rather than go through the whole application process again (especially now that our credit is irreparably damaged by the multiple inquiries and the open $39,000 lien on our house) we decided to go forward with this option. We signed the paperwork and made an appointment to come back in two days to withdraw the money and lock in our interest rate at prime + 1% (4.5%). Sounds great, right?
Well, when we went back to the branch, we were told that the interest rate for a 30 year fixed rate line of credit is 7.29%!!! And, now that we'd signed the paperwork, they really had us. Because now, in addition to the fact that our credit is damaged, we also would owe a $450 fee to close the account prior to the 2 year minimum period. An account we never wanted in the first place and only opened because we were either misinformed or outright lied to.
We decided to think on this, and finally, having no other option, decided that we would do a 20 year fixed rate line of credit that we would lock in at a rate of 6.99%. We were given this interest rate over the phone and when we asked them to put it in writing, they REFUSED! They said that once we lock in the rate, they would send us a LETTER in the MAIL that would have our interest rate! My blood is boiling as I type this. We are supposed to commit to locking in an interest rate without any guarantee in writing as to what that interest rate is?? Who does business this way? It's unreal.
Again, having no choice, I decided to go forward and hope for the best. We called and emailed the branch dozens of times asking to come in and lock in our rate with no response. They actually screened my husband's phone calls and wouldn't answer. I decided to go to another branch. I sat with the customer service associate for an hour while she completed the transaction over the phone, telling me the money would appear in our account within an hour and that we would receive a letter in the mail with our interest rate and monthly payments. The following day the money still was not there. When we called TD Bank they told us they have no record of the transaction taking place and in fact blamed me for not getting a receipt. I WAS TOLD I WOULD RECEIVE ONE BY MAIL.
We are now dealing with: 1. the main customer service phone number, who passes us off to a branch 2. the first branch we dealt with, who repeatedly lied to us, and now does not return our calls or emails and refuses to allow us to come in, saying they are too busy to see us in person and 3. the second branch where I completed my transaction, who keeps passing us off to branch #1 who ignores us.

I recently tried to refinance my home and was surprised to find out that I had six 30 day late payments on my credit report, all from TD Bank. Outside of those credit items, my report is flawless. It turns out that even though you may have a loan or line of credit that requires 12 payments with an average minimum of $200 that you MUST make those payments within a certain window.
Confused? Let me Explain: If your payment due date is June 25th and you owe $200. You send them $250 on June 20th and everything is cool, right? Right. What if you then decided to send them July 25th's payment on June 30th? What if that payment was for $3000.00? If you guessed "Your July 25th payment would be late on August 25th, it would be reported to the credit bureaus AND you would be assessed a late fee of $11.25", then you would be correct. Now here's the bonus plan: That payment that you are sending in on August 20th to satisfy August 25th's due date. You better make certain its at least $400.00, cause $200 of it needs to be applied to July 25th to satisfy that one (you remember... The one that you didn't send them $3000 for).
Over a four year period, I sent payments totaling the following: 2016 = 14 payments/400% in excess of the minimum payments. 2015 = 13 payments/450% in excess of the minimum payments. 2014 = 19 payments/200% in excess of the minimum payments. 2013 = 21 payments/300% in excess of the minimum payments. So I (tried) calling the most convenient bank to express/research/fix this issue and was either stuck on hold for 20 minutes or longer (I have a job too). Reporting my story to a level 1 customer service rep... AGAIN.
If I was lucky, transferred to a member of "senior management" who proceeded to tell me that the spreadsheet and explanation that I had so carefully composed was now in the capable hands of a room full of people who apparently have no phone and are not allowed to talk to anyone outside of that room. Needless to say, none of these methods got me anywhere. Phone calls, emails - ignored. Fast Forward 4 weeks. I am finally given my day in court - the Chairman's Services Number.
Finally, a live person on the phone, an email address, someone I can talk to and explain that I am sorry I sent all your money back to you too quickly. "Mr. **, we will look into this and get back to you." Great, I just want to get this done, get these applied appropriately and it will be best for all of us - after all, its not like I'm not sending the bank their money. I'm sending more than they're asking for... just at the wrong times.
24 hours later: "Mr. **, there is nothing we can do for you." So the end result of this story is that I am unable to refinance my home. With the delay, the rates have now crept back up. Ironically, TD needs to keep the line of credit open that they did not want to maintain because it is a legacy product (how's that for cutting off your nose to spite your face). Worst of all, one would look at my credit report and say "Hey, that guy is a problem." But I would ask this: If you have someone with excellent credit that is only marked up by one creditor, is the consumer the problem? Or could it be the creditor? I think we all know that they have had their fair share of problems.

I have an account with TD Bank and unlike other posters here, I've never been abused by them. The only things wrong were that they forced me to have personal checks with my savings account which I took home and destroyed. I use money order checks from them so my account is balanced for me and I run no risk of identity theft. I've taken loans from them in times past and never had any problems. I've been beside myself because they insist on making me have a bank statement just like a lot of other banks. I HATE bank statements. I'm a concerned about what might happen if I "go green" and start getting them online because as always, there are security risks.

By far the worst bank and customer service on the face of this green earth. DO NOT use their credit cards. DO NOT use the bank service. The customer support teams are under trained and do not know anything. They cannot answer questions correctly. They give out inaccurate information causing you to call back multiple times for more incorrect answers. They are rude and not compassionate towards their customers. Similar to another reviewers experience I was left completely stranded while on vacation.
I called before leaving on vacation to inform the bank and TD credit card I would be using my cards across the country through multiple states for two weeks. Obviously I was trying to avoid an incident where I would not have funds. Where I was traveling does not have TD Banks. 4 days into my road trip my husband calls me and tells me he got a replacement card for me in the mail with a letter saying the card would deactivate in 7 Days... WHILE I'M STILL TRAVELING. After calling the bank not only did they act like they had no idea I was traveling they also just kept repeating that the card would be useless in 7 days. NO attempt to remedy the situation, no attempt to assist me.
They could care less I was in the middle of the desert about to have no money and would not even be able to return home. An HOUR!!! That's right. An HOUR into arguing with rude unhelpful people at their call center I finally got a supervisor who gave me the visa number for an emergency replacement. Still acting as though this issue is my fault. She snidely said that the number is on the back of my credit card (IT'S NOT - I CHECKED). Knowing I'd be at my parents house in two days I decided to wait until I got to their house to order the replacement so I could receive it. Two days later I went through an ATM to pull cash out.... The ATM told me my card was reported lost. When I called the bank to talk to a very, very rude and sarcastic boy who treated me like again this was my problem, told me a replacement card was sent to my house and I failed to activate it. Remember this is a separate card from my credit card.
I told him I did not order a card and I notified the bank that I would be traveling so why would they send a new card. IT'S LIKE THEY WANT TO RUIN YOUR DAY. So I have not access to cash currently... I've reordered a credit card and debit card. Mind you this is NOT a fluke. I informed them before I ever left I'd be traveling to avoid this. Now in order to get my debit card the visa company must request through the bank, so I am relying on the bank doing what's right and having documented correctly to approve the new card so I can get it. Though I am not holding my breath and currently trying to reissue a Capital One card to myself. I wish this was the only time I had issues.
Every interaction over the last two years with this bank have not been pleasant. They have even canceled my card due to fraud because I used the card at an ATM I used every week for a year. Why all of a sudden is it suspicious activity when I religiously used the same ATM? OH, BTW to get the card reactivate took 6 PHONE CALLS!!! Each rep telling me the card would work to find out it didn't. 6 TIMES I was embarrassed at the register. It Took 3 tries to activate my credit card. THERE IS NO WAY THIS IS AMERICA'S MOST Convenient BANK. There is not one anywhere near me. IF ANYONE IS WILLING TO JOIN IN A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST THEM FOR FALSE Advertisement I AM WILLING TO BE PART! I am currently waiting stranded trying to figure out how to get out of this mess and get home.

I received a coupon from TD bank saying if I open a checking account I'll get a $100 bonus. So I opened one because it is near my home and opens every day. I was told since I'm still a full-time student, they will open a student checking for me because there are more benefits - no monthly fee, no minimum fee etc. Also the staff told me I'll receive the $100 opening bonus in these days. For some unknown reason I was required to deposit $25 to my account, when it was clearly stated that there's NO INITIAL DEPOSIT needed for student checking. I had to leave the bank to get cash but that was okay. Soon after I opened this account a lot of stupid ** happened. They never inform you of anything.
I was never aware that my account was brought to negative balance. I was never aware that some ** transaction happened to my account, and within 1 day, three transaction of less than $5 caused me $75 overdraft protection fee. I was never aware that because my account balance has been brought to negative, a ** negative balance fee of $25 was added. So one afternoon I logged in to my account just to see a negative balance of $100+. I called them and got waived for $75.
Today I found out that because I turned 24, they changed my student checking to regular checking with a monthly maintenance fee, again, without notifying me at any point, by any means. Although I am near 24 but I'm still in college with one and a half more years before I graduate, and the banker who helped me open my account was clearly aware of that. There are a lot of people who are over 24 and still dealing with college. Also I just found out because the account I opened was a student checking account, I will not receive any bonus. The banker told me I could. This is my first review here and I signed up just to post this complain about TD Bank, the most inconvenient bank in America.

I was first charged an overdraft fee of $35.00 a few months ago, so I called TD Bank. I thought it was extremely suspicious the way they "held' certain transactions for days and also held my deposits until they could slap me with an overdraft fee. The cs rep told me that debits are processed in order of which they are received, but this is absolutely not true. After now getting slapped with at least 6 overdraft fees, I am convinced they know exactly what they are doing and manipulate transactions so that you will be hit with as many fees as possible. The last straw was today. I am immediately withdrawing my money from this bank and I would advise everyone not to bank with them anymore. I am completely disgusted.

About 2 months ago my significant other and I went to the grocery store to do our shopping. As we always do, we stopped by the ATM to verify our balance (we live paycheck to paycheck so we keep a very close eye on our account balance). Our account showed we had almost $500 available. Knowing we were going to be receiving a bonus from my significant other's employer and overtime, we thought nothing of the extra $200 because it added up to the OT (post tax) and the bonus (post tax).
We did our grocery shopping and checked the ATM again just to be sure, with $300 left in our account and our purchase NOT showing as pending, we decided to pay some bills from a recent miscarriage I suffered (another story but I actually worked for and was FIRED front TD Bank due to my lost pregnancy - long story short, despite doctors notes I was a company liability due to complications from that loss because I required "special accommodations" and a LOA). 2 days later we discovered we were overdrawn by $150.
After contacting TD's "wonderful" customer service department, we were advised that this was our fault - even though they had posted an additional $200. As explained to us, their system didn't update to reflect the true amount available but we would still be responsible for paying the OD fees of $150. Fine. Whatever. We begged and borrowed from relatives and brought our account up to $5.40. Fast forward a week. Boom, it happens AGAIN. Contacted customer service and was told it was our fault even though their systems didn't appropriately reflect the available balance. 4 weeks of no paychecks later due to paying continuous OD fees because they messed up and we visited our branch in person.
We were belittled, we were spoken to rudely, the woman there "helping" us claimed she felt our pain and that she also lived paycheck to paycheck (she was wearing designer labels, hair dyed and done, nails done, fake tan, Acrylic French tip manicure and had a Coach purse next to her desk -- yeah right). After telling us we had no choice but to pay for their mess ups, and calling us liars, we were given a statement that didn't match our personal records our ATM receipts.
TD Bank is a joke all the way around. I've worked in customer service for 15 years and if I ever done to a customer our client the way TD's reps spoke to us, or any other customers while I worked for them for that matter, I'd have been fired on the spot -- and heaven help my employees if I ever heard them treat or speak to a customer in the manner that TD's reps speak to their clientele. Save yourself the headache and go with a credit union or a local bank that will treat you like the person who pays their salaries -- because we are!

I'm writing this review not only to express my total disappointment and anger with the so called customer service of TD Bank but also hoping this message creates some sort of positive change within the TD Bank construct. I was taking a business trip from New York to N. Carolina and when I got to LaGuardia Airport to check in my baggage, I realized that the credit card I brought with me, was the wrong card. I could not go home to retrieve the card at this time because my flight was leaving soon, so I was forced to use my debit card. I immediately called TD Bank customer service and explained my dilemma and emphasized that I had no other card to use while in N. Carolina. Not only was I bounced around from customer rep to customer rep, everyone I had spoken seem to literally have no care or concern about this emergency situation.
Then I was eventually promised that I would receive a call back to let me know about my request to have an emergency card sent to the hotel I was staying, but no call, no email... no nothing! They did not care that I was practically stranded in N. Carolina with no money or credit card. I am long standing customer with this bank but I was made feel almost like I was a vagabond on the street. In short... TD Bank might as well had said "** you!" I promise you this, I will cancel my credit card with TD Bank as soon as I get home.

After speaking with several departments, supervisors, I was finally told someone applied online for a card in my name, my ss number, my address.

Days later I received credit reports and fraud alert action forms from agencies, formal police recording and several correspondence from my actual credit cards that I used stating all was well. The only weird thing on my credit report was TD requesting information about me. Two days later yet another credit card from TD Bank, this time for a larger credit limit!!! Next day another credit card from TD Bank but for lower spending limit. That's a total of 3 credit card from TD Bank, sent to my actual address, 3 different spending limits, NONE were ever requested, in person, on phone, or online by me.

My charge was denied at register. I called td bank and was told that the funds weren't available because they had put a hold on a check I had deposited earlier in the day. I pleaded with them - even cried out of embarrassment and horror that I needed to make this purchase and why couldn't release the hold as the check I had deposited was from another member of their bank (it was a td bank check!!).
They told me the only thing they could do was refund me the overage fees I was charged which were only a result of them from this transaction they wouldn't allow. After two phone calls they told me that the check would be released in morning and I could go back following morning and make purchase. So we went back just now and loaded up what we needed and again at register I got denied. I called td bank again - explained circumstances we were in and told them how a supervisor assured me night before that the hold would be released.
Well they lied because now apparently because I made deposit at ATM it takes an additional day to release hold so she said I can't have access to my money until Monday!!! I would like to see one of the td bank owners or employees have sewerage on their floors and see if they would be willing or want to wait four days to access their money.

I am so angry right now. I'm seriously having a hard time processing what my son just told me. Anyone of you who knows me knows that I did my best to raise both my sons to be upstanding hard working responsible law abiding young men. And they both are!! And I'm very proud of them. I taught them both good work ethics. I set examples of what it means to work for something you want. I taught them how important it is to Save your money. I showed them how to maintain and keep a good credit score. Hell they paid such good attention they are both doing better than me. Praise God!
So now with all of that said I am going to put TD Bank in Great Neck LI on blast for profiling???? My son went into the said bank to withdraw money out of one of his three accounts and they wouldn't let him. He said the teller questioned him several times about the amount of money (cash) he wanted to withdraw. She had him sign the signature card twice and still questioned him ignoring the fact that he had his NYS Id along with his passport. She then called the officer of the bank over and now they both started questioning him. He not only was able to tell them his available balance on all three accounts, but he was also showing them his online banking through his phone.
Now I should tell you that upon going into the bank he was at the gym. So can any of you guess the clothes he was wearing?? That's right!!! Sweats and a ** hoodie! These two women looked at him and decided that the amount of money he wanted to withdraw out of his account, the money that he works hard for every day was too much for him. They told him to have a seat while they did some further investigations. Investigating of what??? It was at that point he told them "NO I will not take a seat!! I'm leaving and I'm going to report you." He was telling me how upset he was but manage to stay respectful.
He went outside and called the main branch to report them. It was at that point the person on the phone told him that is definitely shouldn't have been handled in that manner. Long story short. He went to TD Bank in the hood and was able to withdraw the same amount of money he was asking for at the Great Neck location. Profiling is real at TD Bank.

TD Bank in Brickell, Miami, Florida offers the most frustrating and inconvenient banking experiences one could have. Despite having been an active customer that visits the branch on a weekly basis, TD Bank will treat you like a stranger ready to commit fraud. They are always understaffed and you must always wait in lines. You cannot make wire transfers online and cannot get verified telephonically. Everything must be done in person and you can't make an appointment, just try your luck and see if you can actually see someone within a reasonable wait time. Their staff also suffers from a lack of knowledge. It seems like no one has the right information and ask two employees the same question and you will get two separate answers.

I am only going to echo what has already been written here by those before me, in the vain hope that it might influence someone within the bank itself or within the regulatory powers that be, to curb TDB's abusive policies. TD Bank manipulates its accounting. Specifically, how and when it posts credits to account holders, so as to charge the MAXIMUM number of overdraft charges possible.
Incredible as it seems, TDB is an allowed maximum of $175 per day. How can that be? Well it is and they do. You can opt out of OD on your personal account and this will help a bit. However, it doesn't stop all of them and if you have a business account, there is no way to mitigate the OD charges, they just pile them on. Of course, if you are eligible you can get overdraft protection. You need the credit.
What if you are a small business trying to rebuild during these past several years? SOL, you just get stepped on. Calling them at the branch is next to useless. They have a rotating staff of personnel (never enough mind you, so if you got the time (to wait), they've got your bank). So just when you think you've built some sort of relationship with your local branch (store) manager. They're gone into the abyss of another bank or branch. When you call the 800 number for the legendary service they claim they have, you will get legendary belligerence when you ask why the fees are so high and if you might recoup some.
Yes, they throw you a bone once in a while. I think once a year they may waive a cashier check fee of $8 even though I'm a long time business account holder. And they may return on occasion (their policy is once per year) a $35 overdraft. But the sheer number of relentless overdraft charges are a substantial burden for any small business or individual consumer. But wait there's more....
Ok they bleed you of funds through overdraft nsf charges. That's one thing. But they also return checks with a methodology only they know about. There is no way to tell if they will return the checks or not. Even if you frantically rush to the bank with cash and deposit that morning, and plead with the bank/store manager to please pay the check (at this point you have been charged already), your efforts are wasted. You might make it until late afternoon as you periodically login to your account to see if your check has been in fact paid. And you feel somewhat satisfied until by 3 or 4pm you see that even though you were charged the fee, deposited the cash, in excess to cover the check, it is still returned mercilessly.
I find TD Bank Criminal, as I do most banks whom we read about almost daily that commit some sort of fraud against the general population and get away with a fine, that is equivalent to a slap on the wrist compared to the billions they made breaking the law. This being the case, the reason I continue to stay for more abuse at the hand of TD bank, is where can I go? I hear equally frightening stories from every other regional or national bank.
I recently explored Valley National only to find after reviewing their fee schedule that it was in some cases, more abusive than TDB, which is some feat. After opening the account only for overnight, I literally went in the next day to close the account. I was charged $25. Thank you sir may I have another. So again, I offer this here hoping upon hope that it makes a difference somewhere or catches someone's ear, along with the incredible stories before me of abuse at the hand of evil TDB and the banking industry at large.

After a month of waiting, calling and extending the deadline for the sale I call TD and they said, "We can't give you a mortgage." Why did it take a month for them to say no and because of TD's lack of care for its clientele and lazy work ethic I lost out on this property. If they told me no on day one I would have never made an offer. If they told me no during the first week I could have gone to a private company.

Makes no sense since it didn't show up in pending until I was on the phone with him and they usually give $100 in available funds from the deposit. There was no entry that showed that but they pended the check less $200 and never posted a description of that.
Rep said they have 24 hours after the check is deposited. This happened once before and the rep I spoke to then said the other person's bank was denying the funds. It was a business account and caused all kinds of problems resulting in the person whose check it was ending all business with us.

After a few hours making various purchases with my TD Bank Debit Card within a 15 mile radius of my home in Rhode Island, my last stop was at my local TD branch to get some holiday cash from the ATM. There, on my ATM receipt, I discovered an additional $2,000 in my checking account. Sweet, I thought... must have been my wife transferring funds so I could get a new iPad for myself for Christmas.
I went home directly and asked my wife about it. She did NOT make that transfer. Panic set in and I called TD Bank immediately. I discovered a small, UNAUTHORIZED purchase made in Hollywood, Florida. I reported this to the bank rep as an unauthorized purchase. The same person or persons who had made that unauthorized purchase also had accessed ALL of my TD accounts. Not having sufficient information about those accounts, the perpetrator transferred $2,000 out of one of my wife's accounts and into my own checking account. I also reported this as an unauthorized transaction. My debit card was cancelled and a new one issued. I was told that investigators would be looking into the issue.
How was someone able to do this? According to TD Bank, someone called them on the phone and pretended to be me. To "prove" they were "me", they provided my debit card number (evidently quite easy to get that number) and the amount of a recent purchase (about 1,000 miles away from where I had been simultaneously making purchases near my home). No other questions were asked of that person. No account number, no CVV code from the back of the card, no other purchases or deposits were asked for.
I recently discovered that the unauthorized purchase was not refunded to me, in spite of the fact that on 24 December 2015, while I was talking to the TD Bank rep., I studied up on disputes for unauthorized purchases and followed the necessary steps by reporting quite clearly that the purchase was unauthorized, with an hour or two of that unauthorized purchase. TD Bank now tells me that they have no dispute filed.
To make a long story... well... a little longer... not only were the security questions a poor and illegitimate method for verifying identity, but it seems to me (and I am loathe to cast aspersions), that the TD Bank representatives were in on it. The person I spoke with was actually sitting near the same rep that allowed these transactions through and gave an unauthorized person access to ALL of my wife's and my own TD checking, savings, and business accounts. He frequently put me on hold while he "consulted" with that person. As far as I can tell, TD Bank is unaware of any security issue regarding my accounts. I do have a lot of accounts with TD Bank as a property owner and business owner, but I have already begun to close my accounts there and transfer to another bank. I hope my experience helps others avoid TD Bank.

The "customer service" agents are terrible. They cannot speak English properly and they cannot spell correctly. They made up a street name on our account and it was returned because the street does not exist. They tried no other mode of contact. I called them because I was concerned about not getting a bill when we used a special interest-free sale. They said we weren't overdue and acted like we were avoiding them. They sent two bills and tacked on interest and a late fee because it was overdue. Then they "corrected" our correct address with another made up address a month later.
When I called to correct it they acted like we had moved. Hello!!! We did not move!!! Please, please just do your job. When the lady corrected it, after questioning me like I was being charged with capital murder, she was being snotty. Then she asked if there was anything else she could help me with. I asked her to please read the street address to me, then spell the street name. She yelled the name and spelling three times, then yelled the entire street address. I hung the phone up on the **. I guess I am going to pay this account off in less than nine months just to avoid having to deal with those unprofessional and incredibly unintelligent agents again.

TD Bank is moving around the timing of debits and credits to cause overdrafts and $35 fees. Earlier this month I had a pending debit. I saw online that I would be about $6 short. So, I electronically transferred $7 into my account. Electronic transfers are available immediately. I confirmed that they had credited the $7, which they had. 2 days later, they had switched the debit and credit so that the check would bounce. Then they charged me $35. A week or so later I saw that they had re-processed the check... which left me with over $250 in my account.
I checked my account online last night. The cleared check was still listed with a positive balance. But, in "Pending" I saw the amount of the check plus a $35 overdraft fee!!! I called Customer Service and was on hold about 30 minutes. The rep. checked in with me (I assume to see if I had hung up) and said she was still waiting for a manager. Eventually, "the Manager" approved crediting me back the $70. But, the check is still listed as returned... and my veterinarian will be notified that my check bounced and has to be reprocessed! I looked back through my statements and saw that there was a $35 overdraft fee listed every month since MAY! How do we stop them???

I have been with TD Bank since I was 18 - over 10 years and I have never had a problem with them however that all came to a crashing end when I ordered something for my son online with my card for my son's birthday. Long story short they allowed someone to take double the money out my account so I called customer service over 9 times and after being transferred and hung up on I went to the nearest branch. I get there. I'm crying and very upset. My son's birthday is ruined. His gift never came and I got charged double for it.
After waiting another hour there I finally get to speak to someone name Mohsan ** whom barely spoke English so I told him the situation and he tells me it's nothing he can do for me. I need to call the police and I asked him why should I have my money in a bank if it can be stolen from anyone and he laughed at me and told me to ask myself that. I was so upset so TD Bank is a horrible bank to bank with. They don't care about nobody but themselves.

I recently noticed that I was getting charged for overdrafts. I keep very close track of my account and noticed that when using the bill pay option, the bank does not deduct the checks from the account when they are written but when they say the check was cashed. Over the last few months the same payee, even though the check is dispensed on the 16th of the month, never gets deducted until there is not enough to cover the check, thus a 35.00 charge. When you go into the online bill pay section, it show you what was RECENTLY PAID. If you are paying a bill you deduct it from the account and not two weeks later. I have had enough of this type of bait and switch mentality just to be able to collect more fees for less service.

I have been having economical issues of late so my account balance has been kind of low. In the morning of the 11 of August I had a positive balance but I knew the light bill was due so I deposited money to avoid an overdraft fee. I checked my balance on the 12, 13 ,14, 15, and the 16 and all was well with the world, but then I remembered the Planet Fitness auto payment due on the 17th. Well, it was only $10 but I didn't have the $10 in my account (unfortunately... I told you it has been a tough couple of months). :'( Anyway I went directly to an ATM (Because by the time I got out of work, the banks had closed) after having called the bank and asking a rep that if I deposited in cash would it be available for the auto payment the next day which the rep answered "yes".
The next day the beginning balance was like $14 dollars then it showed a negative (-$31) balance. When I checked the Planet Fitness payment was made after the beginning +$14 which should have left me with a +$4 (sad, I know) but, I was charged the overdraft fee of $35. When I called to ask for an explanation, apparently the fee was charged the day the light bill was charged!!! How is this possible if my account NEVER showed a negative balance up to 5 days after the light bill was charged??? The only response was, "We take charges in the order that they're placed". Which I still don't understand and when I stated my confusion and growing anger at such a stupid response, I was promptly hung up on by the rep named Shanika or something to that effect!!
So yeah TD BANK SUCKS BIG TIME. I do not recommend this bank, their reps are rude and do not know how to answer simple questions and they will charge you every little thing they can whenever they can. Ah, and to make matters worse, my son lent me some money to get out of the negative balance and to at least have a little gas money but, of course TD Bank thought it a wonderful time to charge the maintenance fee, so no gas for me. I hate Them!!! Worse bank ever and I will promptly (as soon as I get a chance) be closing my account, something everyone with an account with them should do before you get screwed over, cause it will happen sooner or later.

I have had various issues with this bank. The one that really concerns me is how they hold money at their discretion. I made an order on amazon for 359.99, then immediately canceled it realizing that I forgot to cover an expense that superseded it. They held it in pending going on 7 days causing a insufficient fund fee of 35 and then I have 2 more of those fees hitting today. Yet I can return an item to Amazon and have the refund in my account before leaving the ups store. That's if I had more funds in the account. They are sneaky and the federal government needs to investigate and make them reimburse everyone's fees since they started this manipulation.

They have overall great Customer Service! I have not had a problem with them other than a problem that will be solved (I will make sure of that). Know that if you are thinking about TD Bank that they suck with sending you bank cards in the mail. It is stupid that they can't even have it leave their facility without misplacing it. Then they tell me that I already received the card when I didn't. So if I were you you should find time to go into a TD Bank branch to talk to a person face to face. Tell them that they need to give you a bank card now or make sure that the card will be shipped from the facility when they say it will be.

When I noticed these 3 overdraft fees of $35 each that they post activity now till timing of transactions and not what's in your account at the end of day. Well since then I have been logging into the account everyday. I logged do to it today and saw balance didn't add up right, looked through the activity and saw an overdraft fee. Well to my surprise It shows a maintenance fee of $15. Causing an over draft before my paycheck cleared. But here's the problem the $15 fee shows it was posted on the 3rd. My husband and I both have logged into the account on the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th and there was no maintenance fee listed on those days.
When I called about it neither the rep or her supervisor would help. They basically called us stupid said we over looked it or miscalculated. I'm sorry but there was only 3 transactions posted within that 4 day period so I think 1 of us would see another transaction that wasn't from us. She then said the fee was for a balance being under $100 at the end of statement. Yeah our balance was way over $1,000.00. She then tries to back track and say it's a normal fee. The supervisor told us to go ahead cancel all 3 of our accounts cause there's nothing she can do. Yeah good customer service there!!!

Would talk over me and not let me speak when I would try to express my frustration.
I have never had this issue with Chase. He drove to my bank (Chase) who had already released the funds for the check expecting them to release my information to any bank and any person without my person being present. Then calls himself a bank representative. This guy clearly doesn't know confidentiality! Expected to show up to my bank, speak to my manager and have her release any information he wanted. End of story, account is closed... Still waiting on this deposit. Will never recommend this bank! And this manager Craig or whatever he is deserves to be fired, no customer service skills whatsoever.

I had my first bad experience with TD when I deposited a $800 check. It cleared an equivalent $800 credit to my balance, so I paid my bills only to find that 3 days later they reverted the credit by returning the check at that point generating dor TD: $35 overdraft fee + $15 returned check = $50. How a SANE person could deal with this trap policy? So I have to wait 3 days with a cleared check credit to my account to only then use the funds safely? I suspect THOUSANDS of CUSTOMERS are being taken advantage by TD like me, and further: I suspect a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT is on the making, it gotta be. Avoid TD as a plague.

Without notifying the parent on the account 3 Teen cards were closed leaving the cardholders without funds for basic needs. This is not the first issue we have had with TD. The business checking account has continuously been over drafted with promises of corrections that never arrived (we have e-mails with these promises from bank officials). The TD credit card has been compromised.
We will be closing all accounts today; however, we just feel TD's lack of customer care is egregious. Knowing someone depended on the TD Teen card for basic needs, which it is advertised for, should have at least garnered a call to the parent to inform them of the closure. A resolution would have been to reopen the cards once the bank was informed that the security issue was discussed, which at this point wasn't even disclosed. I will broadcast to every social media site, every associate, family member, etc. not to use this bank for any purpose. Truly sad that a company has such little customer care especially after being given so many opportunities to correct the issue.

I have had a TD Bank account ever since I moved to Vermont three years ago and have just recently had an issue with them. However, I did have one instance where this bank accidentally cashed a check I deposited failing to see it was before the date the check was written on causing my account to go into the negative. I was at the grocery store yesterday trying to pay with my card knowing I did indeed have money and yet my card was declined. Annoyed, I made it to one of my local branches and explained to them what had happened. I told them I thought it was being declined because I had not activated my new chip card and yet they assured me that it was due to a possible fraudulent charge and a hold was out on my card just in case.
So this morning I called the customer service line to find out what the issue was and sure enough they told me the reason my card was declined was because I had not activated my new chip card just like I had suspected in the first place. So very annoyed at this point I go back to the same branch and tell the exact same ladies that had just the night before told me my card had a hold on it due to fraud that it was due to me not activating my new chip card. They sheepishly looked at me and gave me this bs excuse that they can't really see why there would be a hold placed on a card. I think they knew that it was in fact my chip card not being activated but because it was very close to closing they were too lazy and only wanting to go home to help me.

I am always careful of what I spend and the amount my account was overdrawn was a small amount, roughly between $50-55, and the amount which TD Bank has stolen from me in overdraft fees is $175!!! That is robbery & theft!! So I complained to the bank supervisor via email (and I have all correspondence from this individual - it's great to email just to have the complaint on record, so in case you need it in the future) on Friday, July 15, and he refunded 4 out of the 5 of the overdraft fees. Mind you, I get paid every Friday via direct deposit.
Now it is Sunday and I know I have money on my account and I used my debit card just three times and the amounts are small ones (less than $20 total) and I was going through my account transactions... and lo and behold I incurred a sixth overdraft fee which posted on July 15 (bringing the total to $210)... Again, I got paid on July 15 and I went to the convenience store to pick up a few everyday things. How in the world did I pick up another overdraft fee on the same day I got paid??

Consumer beware. TD Bank's new time stamped posting instead of dollar amount re-posting is no better. It is another gimmick aimed at defrauding low-end customers from their hard earned money in overdraft fees. Many banks (Chase, Bank of America) just to name 2, have reverted to posting debits in time order rather than dollar amount. HOWEVER, every bank I have ever dealt with always posts credits first regardless of time and then debits on amount order or time. Well, when TD Bank changed from largest to smallest posting (in an effort to appease its customers) it included credits. So again instead of any order to benefit the consumer, it still benefits the bank first.
This is especially proven when making internet payments to outside vendors (credit cards) etc., you can pay them online on payday but you have no control over what time the vendor sends the payment request to your bank, nor do you have any control over when the bank posts it. So if your deposit comes in at noon, but let's say Lowe's sent your payment request at 9:00 am, the bank can chose to post Lowe's before the deposit and even though your account was NEVER overdrawn at the end of any day, you can be charged an overdraft. This is absolutely a horrible business practice and should be illegal. Again, TD Bank at its finest. I hope someone starts another class action suit to finally put an end to this nonsense. These people should give up the free pen act as nothing is free at TD Bank.

The person that took this money had accounts with TD Bank I believe and knew a few people in branch?
I deal with other Banks and they always ask me for ID, and if I do a draft they ask for me to sign a receipt and always get two signatures to verify this is the person on account. Why is this something you don't ask for, or care to do? I was told in late October when I came into branch and spoke to a representative that because he had our PIN number that there was nothing you could do and it was up to me to pursue. Over the last 8 or 9 months I have lost contracts, employees, become in debt and not been able to pay rent or have money to feed my children and have companies that were not paid and have been sent to collections.
Yesterday I was in court for a family matter. I spoke of this situation to the Honorable Judge ** and after telling her what happened she told me without hesitation that this is fraud and he must have had to get a signature. She looked at me like this was a lie and must be crazy for not pursuing this and that you wouldn't at least verify by signature. Is a PIN number a signature now?
I spoke to your branch manager yesterday and he said there isn't much he can do because he had my password and "We don't ask for signatures or ID for withdraws unless it's like $100,000 for deposits when buying homes, etc." This I believe is a flaw in your authorization process. I would believe that a bank that has always treat me so well, would be more secure with all your customers' security.
First I fear that if someone gets a hold of my card and gets a password he or she can just go into any branch and get money drafts or withdraws without any person recognition, ID or signature. Second when something like this happens to your customers there is nothing contractually or legally I apparently can do because without a signature I don't have a case for fraud and you void obligation of payment back to me. I want to also like to know the teller that allow this to happen and if was the same one every time. Don't think this matters to myself as it is not my responsibility to manage policy or personal ID verification but he did tell me he knew someone at this branch and is suspicious as I never do money drafts or use this branch before.
I have read a lot of literature on fraud and banking authorization processes in Canada and most institutions if not all I have inquire say they need Photo ID and or at least a signature, most get two. In fact I believe myself as the owner have had to get two signatures many times. I am considering my options. I have been speaking to a lawyer regarding damages, pain and suffering and have talk to the police. File # **. I want to resolve this in a very timely manner or I will pursue all avenues. I am a small business owner and never was aware of these poor policy practices. If I was informed I may have stay with my old banking institution. I expect this to be resolved quickly and get a written explanation.

Awful customer service. I have been paying my son's auto loan while he was in school using autopay. I am not on any papers and have zero liability. They won't let me off. Insist he's a name on the checking account (he isn't), they are now getting paid double on the same loan by my son's bank and mine. They don't answer the phone for hours.

I would give NO stars but this site demands one to publish this review so please disregard it completely. This bank robs you using overdraft charges. Pending transactions are the new way to rob hardworking families out of hundreds of dollars a year. We are only in the month of June and so far my statement has a tally of over $700 in overdraft charges. Basically, if I purchased 7 items under $10 with $5 dollars in my account knowing that my husband's direct deposit goes in the next day, TD will let a pending transaction go through right before 8 pm when you blink thinking you're good till the next day allowing you no time rush to the bank to replenish the funds to then hit you $35 on each transaction for a whopping $245 because a Gas station charge goes through that late in the day. If you can't clearly see that as a scam then they must really consider hardworking struggling Americans to be the biggest idiots on the planet.
That's how they value their customers as they claim to be the MOST convenient bank to conveniently steal your hard earned cash with their sneaky tactics. So much so that they recently changed how transactions are processed to cover themselves. I recently graduated nursing school and my poor husband has struggled working hard to support his two young daughters while supporting me through school. We didn't think that we would go through this so many times just to realize unless you had your banking app open and refreshed everyday at 8 pm with your spouse standing at the ATM to deposit pennies; that would be the safest way to prevent the Overdraft Scam. Please do your best to bank anywhere else and save yourselves the stress and trauma that my families endured dealing with TD bank. They don't value customers and their favorite line is "I'm Sorry" while the rob you blind.

I have had an account with TD Bank for years carrying a negative balance. Ever since they offered me overdraft protection I have been in the red ever since. Now I had 3 payments that were supposed to go through and because I didn't have enough funds in it they charged me $48 for 3 transactions. How is it that they have the money to take from your account but not to be able to make your payments? The entire bank is a fraud along with all their phony loans and money they make from thin air. This is how they make billions in profit from putting people into debt. Debt is their cash cow!

I was on the internet tonight and found charges on them that I did not place. I called TD Bank to alert them of this as soon as I found this out. I have been a loyal client since they were Commerce Bank, which dates back at least 25 years. I have had a total of 3 overdraft charges in that time and have always maintained for the most part their 100.00 minimum balance.
I called and was told by a customer service representative, Nina, that they recognize the fraudulent charges and two of the three have been dropped already. I closed the account but yet the third they have no control over. The people that stole my CC information have more control over me. The Bank realizes that the charges are fraudulent but when my mortgage payment hits the account tomorrow, because of pending charges it will be declined and I will be hit with an overdraft fee.
I asked to speak to Nina's boss and was transferred to Yen, who refused or told me that she was not required to provide me with her last name. I was told that I will have to dispute this and wait for a decision to get my overdraft fee refunded and the fraudulent charges reimbursed. What kind of system is that? The thieves have the control when caught in the act. I hate this bank with a passion. I will be closing my accounts, never will I deal with them again. I tried to transfer the money out of the account and was told it takes 7 days to do that. They ** screw you now matter which way your money is going.

Tried to establish an account with power of attorney and beneficiary. I was assured it was all done, and the branch had all the paperwork. Week after week, the central phone TD Bank could not confirm either. Finally went back to the branch, they promised to fix it. I called again for weeks with no fix. Back to branch, back to calling. Ultimately fixed. Then the ATM card for the POA was wrongly changed to send me a new ATM card. The new one had a chip. I switched to the new card. Weeks later, the POA got an ATM card and it worked at the branch. They were closing but promised to let us back in if it didn't work, hers did, mine didn't. Would not let us back in, and claimed my card was the wrong card. After all these months, I finally gave up and closed it a couple days ago.
I brought the check to my credit union and established exactly what I needed in 30 minutes. Biggest gripe: I couldn't get online either because I couldn't satisfy them that I was who I said I was because I couldn't tell them my last deposit, which was made by the POA. When "security" is so tough it becomes inconvenient, I'm done. Then again, I rarely fly anymore and take almost any other travel option. The biggest reasons for closing the account were the ineptness of staff, rudeness in the branch, and security safeguards that were too restrictive. I wanted to get the problem fixed but couldn't on the phone because they wouldn't talk to me without the last deposit info... Who keeps that? I did manage to get a supervisor 2 or 3 times and some who helped a good deal and others who I just couldn't get through the "my way or no way."

I have had TD Bank for the last 6 years. In that 6 years, I've probably been charged an overdraft fee maybe 4 times due to my error using PayPal to withdraw a "virtual" check from my account. But as long as my account was not in the negative at the end of the day (i.e pending payment going through showing negative $15 as balance. Deposited $15 by ATM and put it back to balance of $0 by 8pm), I would not be charged with a fee.
Now, the issue... I had a pending purchase coming through from this past Friday. A $19 charge from my Target card (my first purchase with the card) for personal items, which took 3 days to post. I put the $19 aside in my account and awaited the payment to be taken out. Upon checking my account yesterday morning prior to work, I noticed the payment was pending finally BUT it was in the wrong checking account. I had forgotten which account I had linked. Yes, this is MY fault but - the payment was still pending so I quickly transferred that $19 from my other checking account while it was still showing as pending realizing my mistake.
I logged on this morning to check if my paycheck had posted yet and I noticed there was a $35 overdraft fee on the account. A $35 overdraft fee on a payment that was PENDING yesterday. An overdraft fee for an item I QUICKLY fixed at 8 am on the morning I noticed it, that hadn't even posted to my account yet. If it is pending, it hadn't even been paid yet! So what exactly was this overdraft fee for if I put the money into the account before it actually cleared?
What happened to being charged an overdraft fee if your account balance was negative at the END OF THE DAY? No, now it's immediate, giving us low-income account holders no change to adjust within HOURS even though our second checking account has $400+ in it. As if they didn't get enough money from overdraft fees already, now they're looking for even more, even after being hit with a lawsuit because of their policies.

A few months later I asked a different teller and she said, "If you have a savings account you don't get service charges on your checking so I set one up."
A month or so later I drew my checking account down but still had more than the 250.00 in both accounts and ended up getting two service charges on my checking account which really got my dander up...

What they neglect to tell their customers is they no longer give you till the end of the day to bring your account current before charging you overdraft fees. They were so pissed that they could no longer manipulate transactions to maximize fees they made sure to craft the new rules to rake in even more fees. Who does this to their customers?

There are several reasons TD Bank has proven unsatisfactory. The most significant is when I was setting up for a wire transfer from a real estate sale, the agent was explicitly instructed to use my personal account as the receiving acct, but she still set up for the business acct to receive the transfer. Consequently the transfer was completed on Friday and bounced back on Monday because of differing acct names. I had called the bank several times and was simply told they had no record of receiving a transfer at all. The second item was when I made a drive up deposit the teller acted surprised that I requested the deposit receipt.

I asked her if there's anything that I could do, and she then told me that she'll transfer me to this Asst. Manager, to no avail. Hang up and called again, and this time Ernest answered, who then told me to come by on Monday so I could speak to the Branch Manager himself. Bottom line, my son was again told that there is nothing they could do - it's really useless for him to wait there. This is how their customer service works.

They have very unclear guidelines for their different accounts because you have to go searching to find them -- essentially they make them hidden in order to get fees from you or how they AUTOMATICALLY choose paper statement copies which are a dollar each and they send a monthly statement then whatever other statements they feel like doing at their leisure. ALSO, their customer service is extremely non-customer friendly and the people I have interacted with are very inexperienced so it can be frustrating. Stick to whatever bank you have.
