The Toronto-Dominion Bank (TSX:TD) is increasing hours and introducing seven day banking at its branches across the country, the bank said Thursday.

Beginning Feb. 13, 2011, more than 300 TD Canada Trust branches in almost 90 communities across Canada will serve customers seven days a week, including Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. This means that some branches will be open for business as many as 72 hours a week.

“TD Canada Trust has been the leader in convenient hours among Canadian banks for more than 30 years,” says Kerry Peacock, executive vice president, branch banking, TD Canada Trust. “We already have the longest banking hours in the country, 50% more than our competitors, and soon we’ll have branches open to serve customers all week long, when it’s convenient for them.”

“With this move we’re pleased to offer our customers an additional day to do their banking, pay their bills, seek financial advice and apply for a loan or a mortgage — whatever they need to do,” adds Peacock.
