TD BANK $55.77 (Toronto symbol TD; Shares outstanding: 1.9 billion; Market cap: $103.5 billion; TSINetwork Rating: Above Average; Dividend yield: 3.9%; www.td.com) is the first Canadian bank to use Visa’s new tokenization technology in its mobile banking app. This system uses encrypted “tokens” instead of credit card numbers and other account information. That helps protect sensitive client information from online intruders. It also speeds up mobile payments and other transactions. Better security should encourage more of TD’s customers to do their banking online. That would cut its costs as electronic transactions are cheaper to process than those in physical branches. TD Bank is a buy.
