TD announced $25,000 donation to support relief efforts in Manitoba and Saskatchewan

TORONTO, July 7, 2014 /CNW/ - TD has put special considerations in place to assist customers with financial difficulties they may be experiencing due to severe flooding in communities across Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

"This is a difficult time for customers and employees in the Prairie region impacted by the recent flooding," said Monique Bateman, Senior Vice President, TD Canada Trust, Prairie Region. "We hope that customers and employees will be able to get the support they need and begin the process of recovery. In the meantime, we will continue to monitor the situation."

TD is committed to helping our customers impacted by the flood and encourages customers to come talk to us to discuss their financial needs. Customers can do this by either going into one of our branches or by calling 1-855-TDHELPS which will direct them to a team dedicated to supporting people impacted by the floods as well as provide information on branch availability.

TD is able to offer our impacted customers flexibility in a number of ways, including:

• Payment deferrals on your mortgage, personal loan, home-equity line of credit, small business loan, credit card payment, and automotive loan.
• Reverse fees incurred such as non-TD ATM fees, overdraft fees, and return item fees.
• Customers may withdraw GIC/term deposits without any early withdrawal penalty to gain access to these funds, as necessary.
• Special assistance for TD Bank commercial and agriculture customers affected by the flooding will be developed on an individual customer basis.

TD is also supporting the relief efforts with a $25,000 donation to the Canadian Red Cross.

Customers can continue to get 7/24 access to information about their money by phone through EasyLine (1-866-222-3456), online at EasyWeb (https://easyweb.tdcanadatrust.com), their smart phone, or at any TD Canada Trust branch or ATM.
