TD Canada Trust’s online banking site has won “Best Consumer Internet bank in Canada” for the second year in a row as part of the “World’s Best Internet Banks” competition by Global Finance, an International Financial magazine.

This adds to the recent award from the Canadian Interactive Reid Report (Spring 2005) who determined TD Canada Trust as the most popular online Bank in Canada.

The Global Finance award results will be announced formally in the upcoming September 2005 issue of the magazine.

“We’re thrilled to be ranked again as the Best Consumer Internet Bank in Canada,” said Jeff van Duynhoven, vice president, electronic banking, TD Canada Trust. “At TD Canada Trust, our priority has been to focus on providing the online products and services that our customers want, to ensure that they have a comfortable banking experience online.”

“We’ve also made a commitment to keeping customer’s confidential information as safe as possible,” added van Duynhoven. “With the EasyWeb Security Guarantee, customers will receive 100% reimbursement in the unlikely event account losses occur resulting from unauthorized online banking activity.” TD Canada Trust was the first among the major Canadian banks to offer an online security commitment.

TD Canada Trust was chosen among other entries across North America based on its strength of strategy for attracting and servicing online customers, success in getting clients to use web offerings, breadth of product offerings, evidence of tangible benefits gained from Internet initiatives, and web site design and functionality. The competition was evaluated by a judging panel consisting of representatives from Tata Infotech and Global Finance editors.
