This year's survey was conducted among a sample of 17,500 Canadians from July to mid-August 2007 and ranked the top five banks in eleven categories. TD Canada Trust won the top award in seven of them, including: - Overall Quality of Customer Service - Would Recommend to Family and Friends - Branch Access and Convenience - Information Handling and Communications - Financial Products and Services - Automated Banking Machines in general - Online Banking in General "We are absolutely thrilled with this year's results. We're honoured that customers from across Canada chose us as the service leader in so many important areas, including overall service, convenience, products, services and channels," said Tim Hockey, Group Head, Personal Banking and Co-Chair TD Canada Trust. "We're especially pleased that customers say they would recommend us to their family and friends. You can't ask for more, and it is a terrific recognition of the commitment of TD Canada Trust's employees who constantly strive to provide the best customer service. That commitment affects everything we do, whether it's continuing to open dozens of branches a year in diverse communities across Canada, or extending our opening hours so customers can bank when and how they want," Hockey continued. Synovate points out that this year's results indicate the top five banks in Canada continue to improve their performance in meeting customers' needs, and it shows in their business results.

The findings also show that, as an industry, we are all getting better at serving Canadians. This steady improvement is a win for everyone, but it's also a challenge - to keep getting better and to keep earning our customers' business," added Hockey.
