toronto-dominion bank

Toronto-Dominion Bank, commonly known as TD Bank, is a leading Canadian multinational banking and financial services corporation headquartered in Toronto, Ontario.

Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) was formed on February 1, 1955, through the merger of the Bank of Toronto (founded in 1855) and the Dominion Bank (founded in 1869) to create one of Canada’s largest banks. In 2000, TD acquired Canada Trust, forming TD Canada Trust, which now serves as its primary Canadian retail banking division. TD Bank is publicly traded on both the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “TD”.
