Load a specific amount for expenses to the card or use them as a reward or refund. TD Bank offers reloadable cards or one-time use cards. The cards are accepted anywhere Visa is accepted.

The 12-month Rate Bump CD offers competitive interest rates. To qualify for that CD, you must have a qualifying checking account in good standing. The rate bump increases the amount of interest your CD earns by more than a full percent. Only $250 is required to open all TD Bank CDs.
Accounts with TD Bank are not offered everywhere. To qualify for an account, you must have an address within the footprint of TD Bank. Those areas are on the East Coast, ranging from Maine to Florida. They are also in parts of Canada.
Most all TD Bank accounts have a monthly maintenance fee. The fees range from $4 to $25 each month, depending on the account. Not all account fees are easy to waive.

History
TD Bank opened first as Portland Savings Bank in Maine, in 1852. By 1983 the bank had grown and merged with other banks. They changed their name to Peoples Heritage Bank, then to Banknorth.
In 2004, Banknorth became a shareholder with TD Bank Group of Toronto, Canada. This was a top 10 financial service company in North America. The purchase of Banknorth by TD Bank Group was completed in 2007. The name became TD Banknorth.
Wanting to still increase, TD Banknorth acquired Commerce Bank in 2008. It was then the bank rebranded to the current name of TD Bank, America’s Most Convenient Bank. The TD stands for Toronto-Dominion.
TD Bank continues to acquire banks in the Eastern part of the United States. They offer products to those living from Maine to Florida and in areas of Canada.
Today, TD Bank is one of the ten largest banks in the United States. They have around 26,000 employees. They serve over 9 million customers and have 1,300 branch locations. Their assets total $308 billion.
