Td Bank Financial Group

This place is amazing! I put a card in the machine, enter a code and select as much money as I want (limited to what my balance says) and money pops out! Sometimes, I put cheques in an envelope and my balance goes up! Wow, I could jump up and down and almost pee!
The staff are friendly, security says hi (don’t be a douchebag — take that hood, hat and sunglasses off. You’re indoors) and there’s plenty of free parking at East Village.

I really really like TD. I have lots of associates in banking and they famously curse out TD for forcing other Canadian banks to open until 8PM and be open on Sundays. It’s a customer-​service business — get with the times.
And come on — the colour scheme is green. I’m not American but I agree with D’Angelo Barksdale: «Money be green». Or at least it should be. And green and black are the only acceptable colours for credit and debit cards — in my world, at least.
I also like the fact I’m on a account with free fully loaded rewards Visa, no-​fee foreign ATM usage, preferred exchange rates, US banking and a included safety deposit box.
The only major downside is that it’s relatively hard to find a TD ATM. Unlike CIBC (partnered with 7 – 11) and RBC (partnered with Chevron) — you pretty much have to visit a TD if you want to save a buck or two on ATM fees. But I found it extremely awesome that TD has branches in NYC and a few other major urban hubs in US East Coast.
So why so harsh on the rating? Well — the customer service is actually *too ‘good’* for my liking — it feels forced. I do the majority of my banking online — and only go to the bank in person when absolutely necessary. I can tolerate strained customer chitchat in most cases — but I *loathe* chitchat when I’m dealing with money. Don’t speak to me when I’m handling money, entering a password/​PIN or at the urinal — I’m handling items of high value, don’t distract me. I need to focus.
… no, I don’t want to talk about why I’m grabbing so much USD in clean, crisp bills…
… no, it’s not for Illuminati tithes or for a ransom…
… yes, I am travelling somewhere — I don’t see why ‘where’ is relevant…
… yes, I am aware it is cold/​hot/​rainy/​dry lately…
… no, I don’t care about how the local sports and/​or college team is doing…
… yes, I have heard about these ‘Canucks’…
… yes, I’m aware you don’t think I should keep so much in my chequing account…
… no, I don’t want to speak to a financial advisor/​buy product…
… yes, I am in a hurry…
… yes, I am getting annoyed…
… seriously, all these questions… what are you? A cop?
I’m not usually so standoff-​ish — but I really don’t want to launch into a public conversation with a stranger that has access to my financial information. Some people might like this fawning and friendly ‘customer service’ — but please, in the words of the warrior-​poet Ol’ Dirty Bastard: «Girl, you better give me that money! Aow!» Just be anonymous and service me like a… well… you get the idea.
Once TD ATMs dispense US cash — I’ll give them 5-​stars. When it comes to banking, I prefer the cold, hollow embrace of a machine… they know to avoid eye contact when I’m handling money.

This is my favorite TD. I’ve been with this bank for about 8 years now and I’m so much more impressed with them than I was with Royal Bank. Very kind staff. They just care a lot. Luckily I work close to this branch so I get to use it regularly. plus the hours are out of this world… open late and on the weekends. It’s very important to trust your bank and I think this one is golden.

Helpful staff and always very friendly to deal with. Line ups usually aren’t that long.
I believe this one only opens to 4 unlike the other TD banks.
Got my RRSP done here for my tax return, and a good one it’ll be :)
They got a small lot in the back for maybe 8 cars. 30 mins max, but there are plenty of street and a larger lot across the street on Franklin.
