- TD Canada Trust introduces Simply Save to help customers
    reach their savings goals by paying themselves first -

    TORONTO, June 1 /CNW/ - A little goes a long way. Look after the pennies
and the dollars will look after themselves. Every little bit counts. There is
no shortage of old adages about money, and about the virtues of saving.
Canadians know that saving is important - what they want is an effortless way
to help them put money aside. In fact, eighty-four per cent of Canadians wish
there was an easier way to save their money, according to a recent TD Canada
Trust poll.
    Well now there is. A new, flexible, automatic savings program from TD
Canada Trust called "Simply Save" works with you to reach your savings goals -
whether you're looking to put away some extra money for a vacation or saving
for a rainy day. Simply Save allows you to automatically put a designated
amount into savings every time you make a purchase using your debit card. It's
that easy. Plus, TD Canada Trust will contribute $10 for every $100 you save
in your first year (up to a maximum of $200).
    "What we've been hearing from our customers is that saving is important
to them and something they could use some help with," says Carrie Russell,
Senior Vice President, Core Banking and Payments, TD Canada Trust. "Things are
tight right now for a lot of people. We know it can be hard to save when
you've got a student loan, rent or mortgage payments, bills to pay and other
obligations. We also know how important it is that people put money away for
the future. Simply Save lets you use your debit card the same way you always
do and put a little away for yourself at the same time."

    HOW IT WORKS

    1.  Sign up for the Simply Save plan by going online to
        www.tdcanadatrust.com/accounts/simplysave or by visiting your branch.
    2.  Select an amount between $0.50 and $5.00 that you'd like to save with
        every debit card purchase or ABM withdrawal.
    3.  Choose the savings account that works for you. The amount you
        selected will be deposited into any TD Canada Trust savings account
        you choose - even a High Interest TFSA Savings Account.
    4.  Save. For a night out, a weekend away - anything you want! For
        example, if you decide to save $2 for every debit card purchase, you
        essentially pay yourself first each time you use your debit card.
        This amount will go into your chosen savings account, building
        towards your goal.

    DO THE MATH

    If you make 25 debit card transactions a month and elect to have $2 move
into your savings account, you're saving $50 each month. And, if you sign up
for Simply Save before July 24, 2009, for every $100 you save in your first
year, TD Canada Trust will help with a $10 bonus, up to $200.
    Whether you choose to save $0.50 or $5 a transaction, check out how your
savings can grow at www.tdcanadatrust.com/accounts/simplysave and use the
online calculator - it's almost as easy as saving.
