TORONTO (November 26, 2013) – Starting today, transferring money just got easier for TD customers. Using EasyWeb, TD’s online banking platform, customers can send money from their TD account to any bank account linked to an eligible Visa debit card, Visa credit card or reloadable Visa prepaid card to over 170 countries in more than 150 currencies. Whether it’s for family living abroad, a gift for a friend, or support for a student studying overseas, with the click of a mouse the money will be received within 48 hours and as quickly as 30 minutes.

“At TD, we continually identify new ways to offer comfortable banking to our customers in the form of convenience and choice and this new service will be especially convenient for new Canadians with families living abroad,” said Raymond Chun, Senior Vice President, TD Canada Trust. "Being the bank of choice for new Canadians, we heard our customers when they told us that they wanted more choice in how they send money internationally. That is why, together with Visa, we developed the new TD Money Transfer service as a convenient, easy, secure and low cost way to send money globally.”

Quick facts on the TD Money Transfer service:

• Convenience – Customers can send up to $2,500 per day, from a TD chequing or savings account to a recipient’s bank account linked to a Visa debit card, Visa credit card or reloadable Visa prepaid card. It is convenient for the recipient too; there is no need to go to an agent location and pick up cash
• Easy: Customers simply need the 16-digit Visa card number, name and address of the recipient they wish to send money to. No other complex banking information is required and the service is available 24/7/365 from TD’s online banking platform EasyWeb
