I really loved TD Bank. When I started with them four years ago after an awful experience with Wells Fargo, we were very happy and rarely had any issues, if any. I loved the customer service, the ease of a notary, and that you could get bank gift cards here without a surcharge. Recently though, we had a terrible experience that led us to have to leave the bank that I feel warranted a review. Over $8,000 was fraudulently taken from my high-yield banking account. This was an account we didn't have linked to any online services or credit/debit cards. I was irate - I can't buy a couch with my debit card without being called to verify, but someone can fraudulently deduct multiple payments over a handful of days and no one notices? I had to go to the branch to close my accounts and make the necessary changes to get an investigation going, get my money back and get my finances in order. I had the most difficult time dealing with Ieva, the bank's assistant manager. We usually worked with the branch manager, but she was on vacation. Ieva messed up a lot of things and we ended up having to work with the district manager, who was zero to no help. We were told that this happens, and that we were one of a billion accounts TD had. We were told it would take 2 weeks to get our money back and there was nothing they could do. They told us the fraud was done on my husband's online account because he was on an unsecured network, only to later be told that this was actually untrue. Turns out, they didn't know how the money was stolen but told us to file a report with the police to find out. That was wrong too - the police only do a report to help you get the bank to start getting your money back. So we jumped through hoops, changing accounts, filling out reports and still had to wait two weeks to get the money back in our account. No one called to tell us the money was returned. When we closed our accounts, they actually had to wait a day for payments to clear and assured us that they would close them and then conveniently forgot to close them over 10 days later. Seriously, the whole thing was a shit show. We went from these happy TD customers who never had an issue to our money being stolen, no one helping us, no one answering emails, no one closing accounts or following up. It was insane what a 360 this bank did on us. The branch manager eventually helped handled things. She said in the end, she should have jumped in on the case when it came to her attention upon return of her vacation but that she didn't want to "clean up the mess" of her colleagues. I'm a loyal customer of your bank, clean it up for me, not them. She admitted the mistakes and handling of the bank and its team which I appreciated but only after I dealt with the situation for over 6 weeks, trying to get answers and close accounts. If this incident didn't happen, we still would have been banking here. read more
