TORONTO, August 5, 2014 – Thanks to its customers, TD Canada Trust has again been recognized by J.D. Power as the “Highest in Customer Satisfaction among the Big Five Retail Banks.”¹ This recognition from customers is in addition to previous awards including the Ipsos Best Banking Award in Customer Service Excellence among the Big 5 Banks² and the Reader's Digest Most Trusted Brand^TM Award for Bank/Trust Company.

"This recognition is meaningful because it comes from our customers," says Tim Hockey, President and CEO, TD Canada Trust. "We've built our brand on service and convenience and this demonstrates that our strategy is working and that our customers can feel the difference."

 “Our customers are why we’re in the business of banking and we know they’re behind any award we receive,” adds Hockey. "We are so thankful to our customers for this acknowledgement – and for choosing to bank with us.  We recently said a big #TDThanksYou to our customers as an appreciation event and we’re elated to have another opportunity to let them know how much we appreciate them.”

On July 25 at 2:00 p.m. ET, TD greeted thousands of customers across Canada with special thank you surprises in branches, online and by phone.  ATMs were also part of the customer thanking experience, as an Automated Thanking Machine^TM, delivered a few personalized life-changing moments to some customers in four local branches. A special #TDThanksyou video captured the surprise experience.
