TORONTO, March 17, 2020 /CNW/ - In response to the rapidly-evolving COVID-19, TD is announcing additional proactive measures to further support our customers, colleagues and communities.
How we're supporting our customers
Alongside Canada's six largest banks, TD has announced a commitment to work with personal and small business banking customers on a case-by-case basis to provide flexible solutions to help them manage through challenges such as pay disruption due to COVID-19; childcare disruption due to school closures; or those facing illness from COVID-19. This support will include up to a six-month payment deferral for mortgages, and the opportunity for relief on other credit products.
These measures are an important first step and underscore the resilience of Canada's financial system and the strength of our major banks. Banks will monitor evolving economic conditions and consider other measures if necessary.
For customers directly impacted by COVID-19 and as a result facing financial challenges, let us know by reaching out to us at 1-888-720-0075. You'll have a lot on your mind, and we want to be there for you.
"We're taking further steps to protect our customers, colleagues and communities during this unprecedented situation," said Teri Currie, Group Head, Personal Banking. "We're all in this together, and we're here to help our customers and colleagues through these challenging times."
