TD Bank, officially known as Toronto-Dominion Bank, is one of Canada’s largest and oldest financial institutions, with origins dating back to 1855. It was formed through the 1955 merger of the Bank of Toronto (established in 1855) and The Dominion Bank (founded in 1869), creating the Toronto-Dominion Bank. Over the decades, TD expanded steadily across Canada and later into the United States, where it now operates as TD Bank, N.A., particularly strong along the East Coast. Known for its focus on retail and commercial banking, TD has diversified into wealth management, insurance, and investment services. In 2000, TD acquired the brokerage firm Waterhouse, forming TD Waterhouse, and later merged its U.S. operations with Banknorth and Commerce Bank to strengthen its American presence. Today, TD is recognized for its customer service, innovation in digital banking, and strong North American footprint, serving millions of customers across both Canada and the United States.
