*Important Details about TD Debit Card AdvanceSM
By enrolling in TD Debit Card AdvanceSM, you are permitting us to authorize and pay ATM and one-time debit card transactions when you do not have enough money available in your account to cover the transaction. A $35 fee applies to each transaction that overdraws your available account balance by more than $50, whether that transaction is made by debit card, check, in-person withdrawal, or other electronic means (up to a maximum of 3 fees per day per account). You are obligated to pay overdrafts immediately. Whether an overdraft will be paid is our discretion, and we reserve the right not to pay. For example, we typically do not pay overdrafts if your account is not in good standing, you are not making regular deposits, or you repeatedly overdraft. TD Debit Card AdvanceSM is different from other forms of overdraft coverage in that it does not transfer funds from an approved line of credit, savings account, or home equity line of credit. The order in which transactions are processed may affect the total amount of overdraft fees incurred. For more information see the Personal Deposit Account Agreement.

1Overdraft 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.
2Whether an overdraft will be paid is our discretion, and we reserve the right not to pay. For example, we typically do not pay overdrafts if your account is not in good standing, you are not making regular deposits, or you repeatedly overdraft. You are obligated to pay overdrafts immediately.
3This service does not completely eliminate Overdraft and Overdraft Return fees. We understand that some Customers prefer not to have any checks or other debits paid beyond their available checking account balance, even if that means having a check returned and incurring an Overdraft-Return fee. We will decline your payment with no fee when the preauthorization would result in insufficient funds. We may charge an Overdraft-Paid fee if the payment is preauthorized against sufficient funds but later exceeds the available balance because of an intervening transaction. This does not eliminate fees from transactions posted against unavailable deposits.
4Overdraft Payback automatically reimburses the first two overdraft fees (paid or returned) incurred within a calendar year (January – December); max $70 per calendar year.
