*Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is accurate as of 05/27/2026 and subject to change after the account is opened. Fees may reduce earnings on the account.

1Overdraft Payback automatically reverses the first two overdraft fees incurred within a calendar year (January–December); max $70 per calendar year. Overdraft Payback is applied first, regardless of the Grace Period. Once Overdraft payback has been utilized, your account will then be reviewed for Overdraft Grace when applicable.

2Non-TD ATMs: For TD Beyond Checking, TD ATM fees are waived regardless of balance. Any surcharges at the time of your non-TD ATM transaction, will be reimbursed when the minimum daily balance in the TD Beyond Checking is at least $2,500. The institution that owns the terminal (or the network) may assess a fee (surcharge) at the time of your transaction, including balance inquiries.

3TD Beyond Checking monthly maintenance fee can be waived with one of the following: Have $5,000 or more in direct deposits within a statement cycle; OR maintain a minimum daily balance of $2,500; OR have a $25,000 minimum daily combined balance of all deposit accounts, all outstanding home equity loan and home equity line of credit accounts, and/or mortgages in good standing (excludes credit cards and personal loans) that you choose to link.

4Overdraft 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. 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.

5If you are under the age of 18, you must open a joint account with a parent or legal guardian as the secondary owner. For 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.

6For 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.

7Loans subject to credit approval. A TD Bank personal checking account is required to be eligible for this 0.25% HELOC rate discount. This relationship discount may be terminated and the interest rate on your Home Equity Line of Credit account may increase by 0.25% upon closure of your qualifying checking account. For a Home Equity Loan, rate discount requires automatic payment deduction from a personal TD Bank checking or savings account. This discount may be terminated and the interest rate on this account may increase by 0.25% upon cancellation of the automatic payment deduction.
