History of TD Bank 

TD traces its beginnings to two distinct banks: the Bank of Toronto, incorporated in 1855, and The Dominion Bank, which opened in 1871. Each bank grew and expanded its network in Canada and overseas. In 1955, both banks merged to form the Toronto-Dominion Bank. By this time, the new entity had 449 branches across Canada and offices in London and New York. Toronto-Dominion Bank became known as TD from 1969 onwards.  

TD’s history is marked by expansion and growth in Canada and elsewhere. The 2000s saw further partnerships and acquisitions:  

  • 2000 - Canada Trust 
  • 2005 - Banknorth 
  • 2008 - Commerce Bankcorp 
  • 2011 - Chrysler Financial and MBNA’s credit card business 

Today, TD is one of the strongest banks in Canada and North America, with TD Bank building a presence in the US as America’s Most Convenient Bank.
