In 1855, a group of millers and merchants founded the Bank of Toronto, recognizing that Canada's emerging grain industry needed essential financial services to grow. Nearly a century later, in 1955, the Bank of Toronto merged with The Dominion Bank to form The Toronto-Dominion Bank, creating a financial institution built on a shared vision of serving communities. From those early days of supporting farmers and merchants, TD has grown into one of North America's top 10 financial services companies, guided by the principle that people matter most. Today, TD operates as a remarkably human and refreshingly simple bank, offering retail, small business, and commercial banking products to millions of customers across Canada and the United States. With over 95,000 employees serving more than 10 million customers through over 1,100 locations, TD continues to honor its roots while innovating for the future. The bank's TD Ready Commitment represents a pledge to give back, dedicating approximately $750 million by 2030 to drive positive change in financial security, environmental sustainability, connected communities, and better health.
