1TD Complete Checking monthly maintenance fee waived if the primary account holder is 17 through 23 years of age. Upon the primary account holder's 24th birthday the account will be subject to the monthly maintenance fee unless account requirements that waive the monthly maintenance fee are met.

2If you are under the age of 18, you must open a joint account with a parent or legal guardian as the secondary owner.

3TD Complete non-TD ATM fee waived when the primary account holder is aged 17 through 23 only. Additionally, the institution that owns the terminal (or network) may assess a fee (surcharge) at the time of your transaction, including balance inquiries.

4For certain eligible direct deposits, we may make funds available for your use up to two business days before we receive the funds from your payor with our service, TD Early Pay. There is no enrollment necessary and no fee for this service. Not all direct deposits are eligible for TD Early Pay. Eligible direct deposits are limited to electronic direct deposits such as your payroll, pension, and government benefit payments. Other deposits or credits to your account, such as deposits of funds from person-to-person payments services (e.g., Zelle®), check or mobile deposits, and other online transfers are not eligible for TD Early Pay. The Bank does not guarantee that any direct deposits will be made available before the date scheduled by the payor, and early availability of funds may vary between direct deposits from the same payor.

When funds are made available early, they will be reflected in your account’s available balance. Whether we make funds available early depends on (1) when we receive the payor’s payment instructions, (2) any limitations we set on the amount and frequency of early availability, and (3) standard fraud prevention screening. 

If a direct deposit is not made available early, it will be made available in accordance with our Availability of Funds Policy described in the Personal Deposit Account Agreement (PDAA). Except as expressly set forth in the PDAA, funds made available early are subject to the same terms and conditions as other deposits to your account. If we’ve made funds available early and the payor reverses or requests a return of the deposit, or the funds are otherwise uncollected by the Bank, you understand and agree that we may debit your account in accordance with our normal process found in subpart e) Direct Deposits, found in the PDAA, up to the amount of the deposit that was previously made available – even if you have already  withdrawn the funds or it creates an overdraft on your account, without prior notice from us and at any time. In this instance, you are responsible for any fees assessed – including those charged by merchants or third parties – as a result of the overdraft. TD Early Pay is offered at the discretion of the Bank, and we reserve the right to cancel the service at any time and without notice to you.

5TD Complete Checking monthly maintenance fee can be waived with one of the following: Have $500 or more in direct deposits within a statement cycle; OR maintain a minimum daily balance of $500; OR have a $5,000 minimum daily combined balance across all personal deposit accounts that you choose to link; OR if the primary account owner is aged 17 – 23.

6For the TD Essential Banking account the maintenance fee is waived if the Primary account holder is 13 through 17 years of age. Upon the primary account holder's 18th birthday, the account will be subject to the monthly maintenance fee. Please see the Personal Account Maintenance Information Grid for additional details.

7Overdraft Services do not apply to TD Essential Banking Accounts. We may decline or return transactions that would result in an overdraft. Transactions that you make may cause your account to overdraw but we will not assess your TD Essential Banking Account an overdraft fee or return item fee. For example, preauthorized transactions and other transactions may post to your account even when the balance in your account is not sufficient to pay the transaction.

8Monthly Maintenance Fee is waived for primary account holders ages 18 or younger and 62 or older. Upon the account holder's 19th birthday, the account will be subject to the monthly maintenance fee unless an eligible TD Checking account is linked, or the $300 minimum daily balance within a statement cycle is maintained for Simple Savings. Eligible accounts include: TD Beyond Checking, TD Complete Checking and Relationship Checking.

9For the first 12 months, waived each month you have a linked eligible TD Bank checking account and a recurring transfer of $25 or more from a TD Bank checking account. See the Personal Deposit Account Agreement for more details.

10Please refer to TD Bank Overdraft Protection and Services for information on available overdraft options.

11Savings Overdraft Protection transfer initiation is automated at end of the Business Day when the pending and posted transactions result in an overdraw balance. You may still be assessed an Overdraft fee ($35 max of $105 per day per account) if the transfer could not be made such as; if there is not enough money in the linked Savings or Money Market account to cover the overdrawn balance or if you manually transfer the money after overdrawing your account and your transfer is insufficient to cover the overdrawn balance.
